"Vanraj, come, sit. I have something important to tell you."
He sat in front of her looking a bit uncomfortable as GK was sitting in the chair next to him. Mukku took a file and gave it to him.
"Here... the project file and tickets to Mauritius. You have worked really hard. So I am giving you the sole ownership of the project. You can go two weeks later, you will need some time to set your affairs in order here... Take it and leave the country. I am dissolving this partnership. I don't work with abusers.... oh and don't you dare come near my Bhabhi again."
"But this is not fair... I can't take it..."
"Fair enough, you don't have to take the offer. It's your decision anyway. I am dissolving this partnership as the contract period will be over in two weeks and you can leave then."
"I still have two weeks..."
He got up to leave when she said.
"Oh you do... but post that, make sure you get out of the country... and about getting another job in India... uh I think none of the Kapadia's friends would be willing to take you... now would there be anyone left to give business to him, GK."
GK chuckled as Vanraj left the room trying to process what had just happened. He had been expecting something bad but this.... this was worse. He had to do something... they needed to know that he was invincible. but what? He wondered. He took out his phone and dialed a number
"Are you coming or not? Oh today.... awesome."
He gave a sly smile.
"Oh my dear ex-wife... I know just how to make you and your boyfriend and his kid sister dance to my tunes."

"Anuj..."
"Hmmm?"
He was leaning on his chair admiring her engrossed in work. He loved the play of emotions on her face as she tried to understand things.
"Anujjj..."
"Yes, Mohatarma."
"Concentrate..."
"I am..."
She raised her eyebrow.
"Where?"
He pointed to her face.
"Here..."
She bit her tongue trying to control her cheeks from reddening.
"Anuj... this is office... we are here to work..."
"Mmm hmm..."
He opened the top two buttons of his shirt knowing she loved to peek. She looked away trying to hide the satisfied smile at his action.
"Anuj..."
"What? I feel hot... Now what did you want me to concentrate."
She knew he was playing with her. Determined not to lose, she said.
"Did you look at the final list of companies shortlisted by the team for construction?"
"No, read them out to me..."
"Singh constructions, AL and sons Constrctions, TAK and daughters constructions..."
"TAK and daughters?"
"Mm hmmm.."
"Why do I feel I have heard this name before?"
A knock at the door made them look up.
"Come in..."
In entered a tall woman with beautiful blue eyes and curly hair.
"Hello AK, you have kept your figure well, missed me..."
He got up mumbling to himself.
"Ah... now I know..."
She walked towards him and he held out his hand courteously but she didn't take it. Instead, she wrapped her hand around his neck and pecked him loudly on both his cheeks. Feeling uncomfortable he slightly moved back creating some distance between them. The pair of eyes glaring at him did nothing to ease the discomfort he felt. Deciding put an end to the misery, he opened his mouth.
"Uh... Tarika..."
"Oh wow... the great AK does remember my name... though pretty much no one forgets after being pleasured all night by me... but man... I couldn't forget you after the blissful one hour you gave me... If you hadn't..."
Anu drew in a deep breath and stood up.
"Stop..."
Anuj shut his eyes feeling highly embarrassed. Tarika turned around.
"Oh sorry, I didn't see you... his assistant?"
"His partner..."
"AK... this is your new partner?"
He nodded still unable to talk.
"He took you home yet or no?"
He snapped his eyes open as he understood what she had mistaken Anupama for. One look at her face and he knew she had understood too. Before the conversation could take a bizarre turn, he interrupted.
"Tarika... this is my business partner..."
She stroked his face.
"Awww... I was once your business partner too.."
"Tarika... she is my business partner and best friend, Anupama..."
"Anupama?"
"Yes..."
"The Anupama?"
"Yes."
"This is her...?"
Anupama spoke up.
"Why? do you have any issues? Yes... I am... I am the Anupama he loved, loves, will always love. Oh and... I live with him at his home... have been living there for over a month... do you have any other queries?"
Tarika looked taken aback.
"Now, we are not going to offer you the tender. We don't offer to people who are not professional. As this is our workplace, you currently have no business here. I would be happy if you clear out."
"AK...?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? Clear out..."
Tarika walked out in a huff. Anuj puffed his cheeks and let out the breath he was holding.
She walked towards him and buttoned up his shirt.
"That was for my eyes.... mine alone..."
She rubbed his cheeks harshly.
"Anu..."
"Take me home. I can't work anymore today."
