22 chapter 22

The next morning saw Arnav sitting in a coffee shop in Andheri East as he sipped the foam from the steam of his hot cappuccino, he looked right ahead the glass wall of the coffee house at the building staring back at him. Amazing Add-Agency, he studied the name and chuckled to himself remembering his activities from last night.

After the brief meeting with Angad, he went straight to his home, switched on his research mode and started tracing the details of the particular add-agency. By the time the dawn was peeping out, Arnav has his planned sketched out perfectly. With one phone call to his P.A Aman, the plan was implemented into action within few hours and now he is here waiting for the results of it. Aman the ever obedient P.A was able to do it all with a few more phone calls. He made sure the AR -agency reached out to this particular organization and make a deal with the CEO. The deal was simple. The agency would get to work with AR for the next big AR consignment and will be rewarded with a 20% profit, in return to which they would hand out confidential details from their records of this particular employee who worked with them in the past. The confidential details usually included vital information of the employee throughout her term with them. This is something no organization chooses to reveal outside their organization, as it would mean revealing the internal organizational schemes and policies.

But a deal with AR, was not an easy one to turn down and so he was here waiting for one of the employees from the Amazing add-agency, who would be completing their part of the deal.

"Mr.Raizada?" he lifted his head from his coffee to meet his gaze with a tall young woman dressed in a short pencil skirt and a formal shirt. She looked oddly familiar and it only took a few moments for Arnav to realize where he have seen that similar tan skin and dimples that appeared along with her genuine smile.

"Hi--" he stood up and made way for her to take her place opposite to him dragging the chair for her.

"I'm Lavanya, Lavanya Kashyap, Personal Assistant to Mr.Bijlani"

"Hello, please to meet you Ms.Kashyap--" he extended his hand when she cut him off. "Call me Lavanya" she flashed a smile and Arnav smirked internally as they shook their hands across the table firmly.

"Lavanya--" he paused to see that she was pleased to hear her name and then flashed another smile at him.

"I guess Mr.Bijlani have talked to you about--"

"Oh yes, here" she said handing him a file. "It has got all details of Khushi, but let me tell you this doesn't have anything much different from what the CBI investigated from us a few days ago"

He nodded quickly glancing through the pages. "Except for the few instances that were reported from her, these are printed formats of the entire summary during her term here" she added suddenly sounding professional and her initial traces of flirting vanished. Arnav observed her face intently and at that moment he knew he was right about this girl.

"So Lavanya, tell me about your friendship with Khushi" he stated and seen the quick flash of apprehension in her face.

"Friendship? I'm sorry Mr.Raizada, she was just another employee under the boss for me" she looked away.

"I have seen the picture that the CBI collected from your board of memories by the way, as much as I would like to be convinced that it was just a random photograph with a random employee--" he paused as her eyes registered astonishment""but it just doesn't fit in, you know, given your gorgeous yet genuine smile in the photograph?" he smirked again looking at the effect his sentence had and leaned back in his chair never leaving her eyes.

"What do you wanna know Mr.Raizada?" she asked popping her chin on her hand.

"Tell me all that you know about her" he stated just concentrating on her face.

"Might I ask the reason behind all this?"

"I might tell you the reason depending on what you would tell me, so you go first"
