Nalini POV

"No, it can't be true. I got an offer letter from Amanda Sean Mam, that I have been hired for the post of asst. Designer. Please look at this, my offer letter."

"Ok let me talk to Mam first."....... She dialed a number on the landline.

I crossed my finger and prayed to Lord Ganpati.

After 1 hour

"Hey! Nalini, Amada Mam has called you in her cabin, she'll discuss your case with our HR." We both walked towards elevator the door opens with a ding. She pressed no. 9. We reached the floor after a while. She tried to console me.

"Thanks umm......" I timidly whispered to her.

"Oh dear call me Florence". She replied.

The office corridor was decorated in such a way that every corner and every space reflects fashion world. Each wall was well decorated with famous fashion quotes along with illustrations and graphics it seems like you are walking into a fashion studio.

We stopped by a large wooden door. Florence knocks the door. "Come in" we heard a modulated voice from inside. With sweaty palms I entered inside.

It was really big office the walls was painted in creme color with bright color of furnishing which provide a crisp look to the decor. There was acrylic desk in middle with four raspberry color swivel chairs. Behind desk there was a frame less notice board where upcoming collections illustrations, along with design board and fabric swatches were pinned up. There was a Dax Design cabinet left side of desk, everything was paired in such a way that every corner speaks creativity.

There were two ladies sitting in the office. A lady in her late 50's was sitting on her office chair with tight bun and red rimmed glasses looked like a strict school teacher. She was looking carefully at some illustrations. Another lady was in her early 30's she has a smooth dirty blonde hair which ends at her waist she painted her lips in bright red lipstick, she looked very sweet in view. Both ladies were dressed up very classy.

"Amanda Mam she is Nalini". Florence speaks.

Amanda Mam- "So you are Nalini young lady?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

Nal- "Go... Good Morning Mam." I stuttered.

Mam-"Care to explain what have you done?" She speaks up authoritatively while removing her glasses.

I stare them with a blank face.

HR- "The work you send was someone else's work. We had received an e-mail two days earlier from your mail with same designs and same concept, but due to some problem we were unable to access that mail. We thought of taking action against you, you send the copied work to us. You thought you will play safe. Your career has just begun, we can end your career for this act."

Mam-"Pack your bag and get out of here, before I change my mind and make sure you won't get job anywhere."

I kept my eyes down and tightly clutched files to my chest. Uncontrollable tears started to stream down my cheeks, I couldn't believe it. My chest ache and my hands were shaking. My future ends here, nothing goanna change I'm useless. My life, it ended before it started.

"Nalini please leave."

I was zoned out for minutes. Calm down Nalini, I tried to be strong.Florence patted my shoulder.

"So..... Sorry M.... Mam.....I can repeat every step of my work. Th....this work is purely m..my imagination. I have done all embroidery work with my hands, there was no craftsman involve in this. I learned this work from Luck now in my summer vacation. I have clicked pictures of my work which I added in my portfolio, you can have a look at that. Mam I'm a dedicated person and I work with probity. Please give me a chance and I want you to know the truth." I pleaded in my brittle voice.

"Florence, call Violet and new girl, I have to talk to both of them."

I was tapping my foot nervously on the ground waiting for the person who deceived me. As soon as the door opened and I saw the person walking inside the cabin, my eyes were torn off my whole world was crumbled around me.

"P...P....Priya you?" I mumble holding my chest. She ignored me. Another girl whose face was caked up in make up and high class dress, she looked like a spoiled brat walks besides Priya.

Hr- "Priya, Amanda Mam was called by your college faculty and she assured us that it was your work, you are quite hardworking and talented girl. We should hire you. Now explain everything."

All colors of her face drained, listening those words from HR Mam.

Priya- "M...Mam it.... it's M... My work trusts me." She tried to convince Mam.

Violet- "Mam priya is right don't listen to that low piece of shit." Violet glare me wiith a look That-I'm -the-Best-And-you-are-nothing.

Mam- "Mind your words young lady."

Violet- "Mam....."

Mam- "Violet you want to lose your job. Your father holds 35% share in Lauren's, this does not gives you right to abuse someone." She left stomping her foot on the ground.

Priya- "Mam give me a chance, plz." She speaks up.

HR and Mam after discussing a while.

Mam-"Both of you repeat everything from scratch and show me all step work complete this in four days. And Nalini, I will give you a chance because I think you're not lying. We should also know that whose work is genuine and who is lying. You will be working under Ms. Sarah on Men's wear line. Within four days, you have to design two Suits and repeat all work. This time no cheating will be entertained........And Priya your Case will be discussed by higher authority."

I will proof myself.

I drowned myself in work for rest of the day.

After coming home, I narrated whole things to Jhanvi and Abhi , both were shocked.

"OK Nal to fix your mood we are going to my favorite place it's a bar cum restaurant." Abhi says and my mood sobers.

"Ok Nal get ready"...... Jan said in her cheerful voice.

Standing in the closet I had to decide what to wear my eyes falls on the set of bangles, I instantly pick them up and wear them quickly.

The place was breathtaking, with dim lights and decent crowds everyone was busy with their drinks and dance.

"It's beautiful ummm... Thanks Abhi and Jan." They both chuckled.

"It's not alcohol dear, it will cure your mood." Abhi says while passing me the drink.

"Ok I took a big gulp of it."

Abhi takes Jan to meet his some business friends, leaving me alone here. Suddenly I feel uneasy and I quickly ran towards washroom. Due to dim light, I bumped into a very hard wall, my hands reached to grab something but I fall straight on my butt.

"What the hell you have done you small girl." The walls voice dangerously boomed in the corridor.

I lifted up my head slightly, I watch the walls bright forest green eyes were fuming with anger. Oh crap he is a Armani model not a wall my inner voice speaks. Only then my attention goes towards his shirt, all the buttons of his shirt along with placket were torned off showing his bare tan muscled chest. He was on the urge of exploding. His gaze was glued on my hands no not my hand my bangles. Then I realized my bangles were trampled with his shirt.

"Oh I'm so..s.. sorry" I replied pathetically. He roughly grab me from my arm to make me stand but before he says anything I puked on him.

Can't this day get more worse my inner voice speaks and soon darkness consumed me.

Keep loving and cherishing my book love you all. May God bless you all.
