A pair of expressive brown eyes searched, something in those 16 pages, and his hands busily turned pages of, "The shareware times", a weekly edition, which reports about the tech people, latest advancement in technology and the revolutions in IT industry. In short, the newspaper is about the software world. He turned pages effortlessly in search of something. Usually people read these type of weekly newspaper to keep themselves updated. Looking at this gentleman's speed of turning the pages, it was clear that he had intention in updating his knowledge. He was searching something specific. When the search failed he was disappointed highly. He showed his frustration by throwing the weightless 16 pages on the table. This particular action disturbed the silent ambience of the office. Every head immersed in their laptops, automatically turned towards the source of disturbance, only for a microsecond, but immediately got carried away with their work. How can someone forget IT industries are always know for targets, deadlines, promotion, and promising salary package. That's why people are always focused on work to achieve the above factors.

"Relax baby" comforted Ruby, his colleague cum his lady love. The word "relax" definitely irritated him at present. He ranted the word "Relax!!" and walked away angrily to his cabin. He stood near the window, kept his arms crossed against his toned chest. This posture gave a clear outline of his broad shoulders. He stared at the busy roads to avoid her. But Ruby entered his cabin and locked it from inside. Ruby knew he was avoiding her to avoid conflict between them. She was prepared for the consequences, as she knew how to handle him according to the situation.

She cleared her throat to get his attention. But failed as there was no response from him. Finally she hugged him from back and said, "Any plans to destroy the road baby?" The sudden hug accompanied with the question made him to come out of his Trans.

"Rubbish!" He freed his abbs from her clutch to reach his table. He dragged out two cancer sticks from the draw. He shared one with her. Both shared the same flame to ignite the stick.

"The way you were staring at that poor road angrily, I thought you will burn that road right away",she said it with a slight giggle allowing the smoke to escape.

"If that's joke, then let me clearly tell you that, I am in no mood to laugh". He aggressively expelled the smoke.

The heat of words exchanged between them. She tried her best to calm him. But her every words only worsened the situation as every other time.

"Do you think I am an illiterate, who can't understand even a simple newspaper", he shouted.

"I never said that. But with your aggressive behaviour you are proving it yourself", she equally responded. Both of them dusted the ashes into the ashtray as they locked their eyes challenging each other's point of view. She just signalled one minute with her manicured index finger. She walked outside and came back with the same 16 pages.

"Oh please don't strain yourself in reading out that useless 16 pages to me".

"Give me a chance at least", she argued.

"Chance! Are you serious?" irritation was clearly visible on his face. He yelled at her, "are you trying to read out that same old piece of shit"? He snatched the newspaper roughly from her. "It's better I enlighten you by reading out this useless paper to you". He started to recite the news headlines like a poem. "Webgiant Tech the first Asian company to surpass $2.3 trillion market value".

"No"!

"Then it must be this repeated news, the founder of Webgiant is definitely a trend setter in today's world. Last year he announced that the company will be taken up by capable person only".

"It's not even that".

"Then surely it must be epic old news, the President and Vice President are still mysterious person in the Webgiant company. The company has not revealed it till now".

"It's not even that", she said it with a defeated voice.

"Then what is the news which I am not aware"?

"That's why I bought this newspaper". She snatched the newspaper from him and made a weird face. "So first I want you to listen to the news with patience". She took the newspaper and started to read loud. "Vibav Venkatan, the CEO of Webgiant announced his retirement".

"It's a very old news and every soul in this organisation knows this. But how does his retirement benefits me. Could you please explain it". His hands were placed on his hips now, a clear sign of annoyance.

"Vicky and you are the next suitable competitor to this position", ruby said in a excited voice.

"So! Still how it benefits me?", he asked.

"If you outsmart Vicky it's possible", she said.

"And how do I do that", he asked?

"Are you really innocent or pretending to be one. Just tamper his London dream project and he is gone. Simple!", she said in a determined voice.

"But he might lose his job". He said with a genuine concern and worry was visible on his face.

"There is a old saying, "everything is fair in love and war", she said it in a  casual tone.

"But!!!" He was genuinely worried but at the same time his page 3 personality dream also mattered. Confusion and fear was clearly visible. She used his recent confusion and played her game of words cleverly.

"Then forget your dreams and stop your shitty tantrums", she turned away to leave with a fake anger. But he caught her hand to stop her. Smile was visible on her face as things were going according to her wish. She knew that he would go to any extent to become a part of page 3 culture.

"Please don't be angry. I am ready to do whatever you say". He showed the assurance by holding her hands delicately.

"That's really good. Now no one can stop your dreams from becoming a page3 personality. Now leave my hand. I need to leave as i have more work to do mister angrybird". She tried to pull her hands from his increasing grip. She was just acting to gain attention from him in which she succeeded.

"Don't tell me you are still angry on me. Ruby darling I am sincerely apologetic for my recent rude behaviour". He kneeled in front of her holding his ear in one hand and holding her another hand.

"Sorry..... seriously. Can't you make it better by thanking me instead". She turned her face towards the left direction him. He slowly stood and came back to his previous position. He pulled her by her waist and hugged her in a bone crushing hug. He whispered seductively in her ear, "I already planned of thanking you on your bed tonight". Ruby happily nodded as she is not a shy person. She is clear in what she wants from him. That's why her physical and financial needs are fulfilled by Indrarjun at present.

"Naughty!! Any how I loved your idea", she said and hugged him, with laughter filling the ambiance in few seconds. After few minutes he broke the hug and took the newspaper again. This time he smiled looking at it.

"Now what's the reason behind your smile".

"I am just imagining my name on this newspaper. Mr. Indrarjun, the new CEO of Webgiant took over the reins of the company from founder Arvind".

With inexpressive look she shook her head in affirmation.

"Now why this reaction", he asked her.

"I expected my name too", she said it with a sad smile.

"I have not yet completed darling. that why i always say have patience , miss impatience. Now listen to the rest of the news. It reads that, Mr. Indrarjun recently married his lady charm cum fashionista Ruby, the PR of webgaint".

"Really", surprise evident on her face.

"Yes darling. I already spoke to my dad regarding our marriage". He caressed her cheeks lovingly. She bubbled with happiness. Both smiled at each other lovingly. They cherished the moment by lighting out a single cancer stick and shared alternately. They celebrated by exhaling the smoke with different patterns.
