3 Sis-in-law is the best
Mr. Khemka observed the two of them carefully before voicing his words. It was a plan after all, which had to succeed, no matter what.
" Actually, I came here to invite Mr. Raizada to the painting exhibition. I called your office & they told me that you were already at Emicorp. Susan insisted that I should convince you to come over. I had no choice but to give in. " Mr. Khemka finished.
Sofya immediately understood that it was the old man's intention to bring them together as a couple, and it was not Susan who had requested this.
She had just talked to her two hours ago, and she had not made any such demand.
" Actually I -- "
" Grandpa, he's such a busy man and Susan is just a child. Its not right to give into her every demands. Don't you think? Furthermore, Mr. Raizada has an important meeting tomorrow night, so he probably wont be able to attend. Right, Mr. Raizada? " Sofya asked, turning towards the man, signalling him to say no.
However, the man was not to be fooled. He knew Sofya did not want him to go with them, much less he himself wanted to go with her but he had to agree to this proposal just to irritate her, show her who had the upper hand in this forced marriage.
He would not take orders from her, no matter what she said or did. She was a business woman at the height of her career, so was he. It was already a miracle that both their companies were best in the world and in their own respective fields, otherwise clash was inevitable. The Gods were truly merciful.
He looked into her black oval eyes, his mouth turning into a forceful smile. At that moment, Sofya's heart sank. She knew he was going to accept the invitation.
That Jerk, she thought inwardly.
" Of course I would come, wouldn't miss it because I know my sis-in-law is the best. "
Sofya glared daggers at him. This man is just impossible. She was already regretting her decision of calling him here today, little did she know that Grandpa would choose exactly that particular time to turn up in her office.
After all the pleasantries and chit chat were over, then only did Grandpa and Mr. Raizada agreed to retire from her office. After bidding them farewell, Sofya slumped in her seat.
This really had been one hell of a day. She had expected for the proposal to be smooth, but everything except that had happened. Now he was going to attend the painting exhibition. She knew he had agreed to that just to riffle her up. But since Grandpa had invited him, she could do nothing.
" Miss Khemka, it's time for the meeting. " Her assistant Nancy announced.
Shaking her head, as if waking up from a deep slumber, Sofya put all the thoughts at the back of her head for now. She would deal with him later.
" Of course, let's go. " She walked past the door, Nancy trailing behind her.
Sofya Khemka, CEO of Empericorp Inc. was a well known face in the Fashion Designing industry. Not only was she beautiful, but also headstrong, goal oriented and hard working. She had joined the company at the age of 22, and since then the company had never once looked back. With continuous growth, power and accumulation of wealth over these years, it was then that she had been listed as one of the most influential persons of the world. The company had outgrown it's competitors in just a few span of years, and had become the bestest of the best.
It was also because of this that she had attracted a lot of unwanted enemies and conspirators, but she had her own ways and means to tackle them. Many of them even wanted her dead. They were unable to believe or rather digest the fact, that a woman was able to defeat them. For them, woman was just supposed to be garbage meant for only one thing.
It is in the human nature to want everything. Greed is something that cannot be controlled. One can only climb the ladder of success by pushing others down, be it a exam or in the corporate world, and that is what Sofya Khemka did.
