After their discussion, they returned home, gearing up for the real drama to unfold in the office the next day.

As Adi and Haris drove home, their conversation turned to Fiza:

Haris: "Bro, I have to admit, that girl is sharp as a tack."

Adi: "Exactly, that's why her business thrives. She's no ordinary businesswoman, bro."

Haris: "True, but Mom suggested inviting Fiza over for dinner. What should I do now?"

Adi: "I guess we can extend the invitation after the competition. You can let her know about it when she comes over."

Haris: "Yeah, you're right."

********************************

Back at Fiza's house, she was determined to uncover the person who was benefiting from the office while also betraying them. With this mission on her mind, she eventually went to sleep.. None of her workers knew it yet, but big changes were coming that would shake up their calm office.

The next morning brought chaos to the office, echoing the drama from the day before. Despite the commotion, there was a collective sigh of relief that the designs had escaped unharmed. However, one person stood out, trembling with fear amid the chaos.

Fiza strode into the office, resplendent in a sleek black top paired with cream pants, accentuated by a flowing blue coat. Her graceful heels clicked confidently with each step, exuding an air of authority. As she entered, the office workers glanced up, their expressions a mix of surprise and apprehension. 

Fiza Qazi

Leading the charge, Fiza made a beeline for her cabin, with Rhea trailing close behind. Their silent exchange spoke volumes, a silent affirmation of their shared mission.

"Is everything in place?" Fiza inquired, her voice steady and resolute.

Rhea nodded in affirmation. "Yes, ma'am. I've carried out your instructions as directed."

"Good. Did you make the announcement as planned?" Fiza queried further.

"Yes, ma'am. I made the announcement earlier this morning," Rhea confirmed.

Satisfied with Rhea's response, Fiza turned her attention to the task at hand. Reviewing the CCTV footage with meticulous precision, she compiled a list of suspects, her keen eye discerning the guilty parties from their expressions alone.

"Send them in," Fiza instructed, her voice ringing with authority.

The individual responsible for the chaos found themselves amidst the group summoned by Fiza. Fearing the consequences of being called out, they felt a surge of panic. As they contemplated their options, the thought of fleeing crossed their mind. 

Yet, realizing that such an action would only draw more attention, they resigned themselves to facing the situation head-on, pretending as though nothing were wrong.

As the summoned workers entered Fiza's cabin, they greeted her with polite smiles and took their seats as she gestured for them to do so.

Fiza instructed Rhea to proceed, and Rhea continued, explaining that in light of the morning announcement, they couldn't take any risks with their designs. 

She revealed that they had compiled a list of workers whom they trusted and explained that they had devised a plan to apprehend the individual responsible for harming Anaya and jeopardizing the designs. This disclosure was made only to those they trusted.

The person who had caused the chaos felt a wave of relief wash over them, a sly smile creeping onto their face as they believed Fiza and her team were placing their trust in the wrong person. Unbeknownst to them, "Fiza observed their reaction keenly, though she pretended not to notice."

Rhea shared the plan: Instead of carrying the designs in bags, they'd dress the models in the outfits directly while traveling. Then, they'd cover them with Burkhas to hide the designs. This smart move would foil the saboteur's plans.

Everyone liked the idea and clapped, showing they were on board with the plan. It seemed like they felt more confident about catching the culprit now.

The traitor among them felt confident, thinking this plan was the only one in play. But there was a secret second plan, kept hidden to catch both the culprit and her. It was a clever move to outsmart even the sneakiest of foes.

After outlining the plan, Rhea informed the workers that the models would depart for Delhi on the same day as the competition. They would arrive an hour before the event to allow for touch-ups and final preparations. Stressing the importance of confidentiality, she urged them to support the office's efforts. With that, she dismissed the meeting, instructing everyone to return to their duties.

Once the room cleared, Fiza instructed Rhea to book their flights to Delhi earlier than planned. She emphasized the importance of attending a meeting with the renowned designer scheduled for that day. Additionally, Fiza directed Rhea to inform Aditya and Haris about the change in plans.

Fiza also instructed Rhea to book tickets for the freshers who had crafted the designs they were representing in the competition.

Afterward, everyone returned to their respective tasks, and Fiza departed from the office with Rhea, heading straight to the hospital to visit Anaya and her father. Before leaving, she entrusted Gurpreet with managing affairs at the office in her absence.

AT Hospital

At the hospital, Fiza made her way to Anaya's room, where she had been provided with accommodations. Carrying food and fruits, Fiza settled on the edge of the bed, urging Anaya to remain lying down. 

With a gentle smile, Fiza instructed Rhea to pass the water bottle. After washing her hands, Fiza opened the lunchbox and began feeding Anaya. As she ate, tears welled up in Anaya's eyes, recalling the words she had spoken to Fiza previously (Flashback: "If she's an orphan, what can we do?"). In that moment, Anaya felt as though she had found an elder sister in Fiza.

Anaya inquired about her father's well-being, prompting Rhea to reassure her. "Don't worry," Rhea said soothingly, "we've arranged the same lunch box for your father. Adi and Haris are taking care of him." Her words brought a sense of relief to Anaya, knowing that her father was being looked after in her absence.

After lunch, Haris and Adi entered Anaya's room, where Fiza and Rhea eagerly announced that they had initiated their plan. 

Delighted by the news, Haris exclaimed, "Now it's going to be fun!" Adi, acknowledging the cleverness of the plan, remarked, "We have to admit, Fiza, your plan is something else." 

Rhea chimed in mischievously, "Whose side are you on?" Their banter elicited giggles from Fiza and Anaya, adding a lighthearted touch to the tense atmosphere.

Haris: "Team Fiza all the way!" Adi: "Count me in too!" Rhea gives a playful smirk Fiza: "Looks like we're all set then!"
