In office Dhriti was trying to calm down by herself suddenly her phone rings,when she saw the name appeared on her phone she becomes more furious and attended the phone call .

"I told you don't call me,right. Then why are you calling me. What do you want ? Dhriti asked in furious

"Today is new year Riti so I thought to call you and wish.." A female voice raised from other side of phone.

"Don't call me Riti you have no right to call me like that only my friends and my brother have that right. And I not neither needed your wish nor you." Dhriti said in stern voice.

"Riti, I am your mom I have right on you more than your friends and your brother ." She said

"Mom...which mom I am an orphan now , my mom and family died 7 years ago. Now I only have a brother. So next time don't dare to call me." Dhriti said and disconnected the call.

Dhriti hates her family,only her mother calls her, but Dhriti don't take her calls also. Her mother didn't do anything against her but she didn't take a stand to protect her daughter. That is the reason behind Dhriti's hate for her mother.

_____________________________________

It is only when her anger subsided that she realized the mistake she had made. She is not supposed to shout on a employee that be on first day of new year. Dhriti walked towards the table of Smitha. Now Smitha is sitting upset,when she came to know that Dhriti is coming near to her . Her whole body started to shiver.

Smitha stand up from her seat and looked down when Dhriti standed near to her. Suddenly Dhriti hugged Smitha and said.

"I am so sorry Smitha, I took my all frustration on you ."

"It's okay mam. I don't know that you hate red roses this much. I am really sorry. Smitha said

"It's okay . Don't repeat this again, okay " Dhriti said with a smile.

"Did you see Arjun and Ruhi? Dhriti asked to Smitha.

"Yes mam , they are sitting in Cafe. "

"Okay ,thank you . You continue your work." Dhriti said

Dhriti walked to Cafe. When she reached Cafe Arjun and Ruhi is talking to someone in video call.

"Are you guys are sitting here!" Dhriti exclaimed.

"Has madam's anger subsided?" Arjun asked to Dhriti with little anger .

"Sorry guys. Please forgive me. Both of you can scold me as much as you want , I will not utter a single word." Dhriti said keeping her both hands on ears.

"Today we are not going to yell at you . He will scold you and make you understand, okay" Ruhi said to Dhriti.

"Who?" Dhriti asked

Ruhi hands the phone to Dhriti. When Dhriti look at phone , it was her brother Vikram Das.

She started to speak with scared smile.

"What did you done Dhriti ? Is this the way you should talk to your subordinates? When you get angry,you should take it out on others? You were not like this because you were a person who knew how to control your emotions well......" Vikram was scolding Dhriti but she cut off him and said

"I know what I did was wrong but please hear my side. I didn't do it knowingly. In that situation I can't control myself. You know that I hate red roses. Whenever I see red

roses, I become out of control . " Dhriti said , her eyes started to fill with tear

"I know my princess,but you have to come out from that trauma . Now you are a business woman . Your face is not yet revealed to business field but your name , Dhriti Krishna it is very famous. If anyone had recorded your video today and published in online , what will you do ? Because of your impulsive nature you had lost once in life.

Again you are going to do that same mistake." Vikram try to make her understand.

"No I will not make that same mistake in my life. And forgetting about my trauma , I don't know whether it is possible or not . But I will never loose my self control." Dhriti said to her brother.

"Okay fine . Don't repeat this and don't loose your control. Then important thing you don't take any step to your ultimate aim until I reach India , okay ." Vikram said

"Okay eatta ." Dhriti said

(Eattan=Brother; it is a malayalam word)

"Okay princess, bye take care." Vikram said and disconnected the call.

Dhriti handed over phone to Ruhi.

"Now both of you happy. If not you can call Ishaan also. You both can try it." Dhriti said

"No...we are happy now."Arjun said with a laugh. Ruhi also joined with him.

"Are you sure?" Dhriti threw her sarcasm .

"Yeahh... sure ."Ruhi and Arjun are not far behind,they also thrown their sarcasm towards Dhriti .

"Dk...." Henry called.

"Yes Henry."

"Dk,Mr. Pratap Shankar is waiting for you in Hotel Star Fine . Can we go ? Henry said in low voice

"Why Hotel ? Can't we meet him in his office or ours." Dhriti asked in her cold voice.

"Dk, it's his decision , we can't deny it ." Henry said

"Okay fine . Ruhi also accompany me , will you Ruhi ? Dhriti asked

"Yes of course. " Ruhi said.

Dhriti is driving the car and Ruhi sitting beside her seat.

"Didn't your mother called,today?"Ruhi asked with a hesitation.

Whenever someone ask her about her family,she will get frustrated.

But today she is not in frustration. This is really a shock for Ruhi.

"Yes she called and I disconnected it as usual." Dhriti said

"Why are you staring at me ?" Dhriti asked when she feel the intense stare of Ruhi.

"I am little shocked,today you not get frustrated. But whenever we ask about your family. You become very furious."Ruhi said.

"You are right I become furious but today my quota is over. I already wasted my time and energy in office. There is no more energy in me to become furious. " Dhriti said.

Ruhi laughed at her expressions .

"What?" Dhriti asked with a smile

"Nothing you just focus on drive ." Ruhi said.

Dhriti and Ruhi reached the hotel.

"Hi, Mr. Pratap Shankar " Dhriti said

"Hi , Ms Dhriti Krishna. You are Dhriti Krishna , right ?"

"Yes I am Dhriti Krishna. And she is our company HR Ms . Ruhi Ahuja"

Dhriti introduced herself and Ruhi also.

"Can we talk about deal." Dhriti asked.

As we know Dhriti is very straight forward . She doesn't like unnecessary talks. So she directly come to the point.

"Yeah of course". He said

____________________________________

Dhriti's pov:-

I don't know why his look and talk doesn't give me a good vibe,something is wrong about this man.

"Okay I am directly coming to the point." His sound snapped out from my thought.

"As my company is investing your project , so we want 75 percent of its profit and remaining 25 percent for your company." He said.

My eyes get widened by hearing his deal. What kind of deal it is.

With a fake smile on my lips I said

"What kind of deal is this Mr. Pratap Shankar. We developed this project with month of hardwork . Only 25 percent profit , no sir it is not fair ."

I said in request tone,against my will. I didn't want to beg him for deal,but this is my necessity.

"Look , Ms Ruhi Ahuja please make understand your boss. This project is your necessity." He said by touching Ruhi's hand softly. But that touch is not good I can see that. I controlled my anger.

"Sir, I know this project is our necessity . For my necessity I can't agree to any deal , after all I am a business woman I also want to consider my company's profit. " I try to make him understand.

But this bastard is looking at us like a tricky wolf and I can see lust in his eyes.

Ruhi understand that he is getting on my nerves. She gestured me that she will talk by placing her palm in my hand.

I let her talk but I can't with Stand with this bastard. Now I want take out his eyes from the eye socket. But I controlled my anger.

"Sir please try to understand , this deal is not fair . If you were in our place , you will agree to this deal." Ruhi asked to him.

With a smile he said

" Okay fine 50 percent profit for me and 50 percent for your company. But I have one condition." He said .

He look at me and give a smile . I can guess his condition but I waited for him to tell .

"Your Boss have to adjust." He said by leaning towards us by sitting in his chair.

"What adjustments? I asked with my rough tone and my angry can clearly understand from my voice.

"You know , what I mean , right ?" He said with a disgusting smile.

"Enough is enough. "I said by making a voice on table.

"What do you think for a deal I will adjust you." I asked him .

"Then you are wrong , yes we are women but that doesn't mean that we are not capable. " I said

Ruhi is trying to stop me and I controlled my frustration.

But he again started to open his dirty mouth.

"If you want profit , do what I say. Otherwise I will not invest in this project. Think and answer me." He said and stand up from his seat.

"Excuse me where are you going come on sit . I am talking to you ." I said, my voice is cold but I was in my control because I promised to brother that I will not make the situation worse.

"What did you say if I want profit I have to do what you said, right ? Okay fine then." I said

I can see there is a shock in Ruhi's face .

I continued

"I don't need your company to invest in this project." He shocked when I said this . He didn't expected that I will reject him.

"I know how to reply your shits but I can't . Do you know why it's not because of your age because I respect my values. " I emphasized each and every word.

"I know how to handle people like . Usually I will not reply by mouth I will give answers through my hand . But I can't do that because I don't want to create a scene here. " I said .

This time there is smile in Ruhi's face. I can see that .

"You are not supposed to speak like this to me ." He said

"You are lucky that I am only speaking otherwise I will change your whole body shape and you couldn't recognize by yourself. So there is no 75 and 25 or 50 50 . You and your so called company go to hell. " I said with a tight smile on my face and give a sharp look to him.

His face become pale . He didn't expected that I will react like this. He standed from his seat and walked towards outside.

"Waiter... " I called waiter . Ruhi was looking my actions

"Yes mam." Waiter asked.

"One spicy pasta and one orange juice ".

"Do you need anything " I asked to Ruhi

She staring me with a shock

"One pineapple juice." She said.

" Are are you serious " she asked

"You threatened that investor and giving order for food . You are acting like that nothing has happened." Ruhi said.

"Yaar please don't start your lecture . From morning onwards I didn't eat anything , let me enjoy my food." I said as a request .
