Geet was immersed in her work oblivious to the yearning eyes looking at her from across the glass wall ..maan sighed in relief having her in front of him ..n went back to check his mails while anushka entered with a coffee mug to take the file ...geet gave her a good-luck smile n she went to maan's cabin ...
After Two Hours ..
Anushka was in the conference hall setting the files and media ..it was her first meeting with the MSK nervousness was obvious she is been working in other company for last 3 years but KC has a different environment and MSK has a bad reputation ...aur jalwa tu woh dekh hi chuki thi ...😆
Nervous ??
Anushka turned startled seeing adi standing thr with a file in hand and a smile on face ...giving words to her turmoil ...
Yeah ..a bit
I can relate to it ...actually everyone here can ...but don't worry u'll be fine ...
Not sure with the way things started this morning ..
Hmm ...right n that's why I m here to brief u ...
Brief but that's for the bosses na ??
Yes ...but not when u r working under geet handa ...she asked me to ...
She is really a helpful person ...
Hmm ...well since u have set the files for all attendees of the meeting all u need is a pen n a note pad just in case mk asked u to note something and you will have to manage the slides while mk would be doing his bit in the presentation ...
How will I know when to change the slide ??
Umm ...geet said maan sir do gives a cue .. .actually geet hi humesha slides handle karti hai ...so now you will have to..
Adi sir ..anushka ..garewal's r here ..
Thanks romeo ..
Chalo I'll go receive them ..
Adi left n anushka looked around checking all the things at thr places n took a deep breath ..
*****
An hour later in the mini conference room ..
Mr Darla ur project is really promising but I hope u know that's not enough we will have to study your company's market standing before making any decision ..
I know the drill Ms handa but it would have been better to present my project directly to Mr khurana ...
He is a busy man Mr. Darla ...but rest assure we'll brief him well ...
No u r misunderstanding ...I have full confidence that you will ...
Good to hear that ...we will call you for the next meeting ...
I'll be waiting for the call ...
Rohan led them outside while both the ladies sighed
That ended sooner than expected ...
Hmm ...let me check on maan sirs meeting with garewals ..
geet Ma'am Y can't you rest when given a chance ..
Geet smiled n continued to call pinky to know if the meeting is still going on ...and it was indeed ..
***
U can see the financial graph of this project on the screen ...
And as expected maan turned to the older irrelevant slide ..pissing him off to the limits ...if it wasn't for the client in front he would really have fired this girl ...anushka saw the rising temperatures of her new boss and her hands were shaking with fear ...knowing she is failing miserably at her task ...
And just then she entered like a fresh wind and all eyes turned to her ...
Mr. Garewal : Glad u could join us geet ...I was asking Mr. Khurana where were u ...
Umm ...well I had another meeting to finish besides there had to be someone to get u all some coffee in this long meeting ...
N that's really why I say nobody can match the efficiency of KC's employees ,..
Geet smiled n took maan's cup from the tray n went towards him with a fake smile seeing the scowl on his face ...n stood in front of him praying not to get bashed in front of all the clients completely Unaware of the calm she brought in with her ...
Alright gentlemen shall we get back to the meeting ..
With the commanding voice maan got the attention of all the attendees n the atmosphere changed just as he set his cup down ...
Romeo got the chair for geet where the projector was n she settled thr ..
Thanks romeo ..
Anushka : Geet ma'am thank God you came ...
Geet smiled n patted her ice cold hand on the projector's remote n took hold of it ...
Maan began where he
stopped n in a smooth flow ...geet never deviated her gaze from his eyes n they
fell in sink so naturally anushka tried but couldn't understand how geet knew
when to switch the slide ...she just knew ...may be with time even she will ...
The client's happy faces were enough to tell about there delight but it was
maan proud face that made her smile and with Mr. Garewal stood all the members
in the conference hall as he came and shook hands with maan ...
I had heard of KC's efficiency but its great to see it ..actually quite rare in India ..
India is evolving every minute Mr. Garewal ...n yes we do have some top class people working for KC ...
Mr. Garewal smiled and said looking at geet ...
That I've seen time and again ...
Geet smiled accepting the compliment and turned to romeo who had her cell phone in his hand indicating there is a call ..she took it excused herself to a corner while maan continued his convo ..
Mr. Garewal : speaking of efficient staff, Mr. Khurana I think this project in London needs a supervisor to look after a smooth closure sent from here ...
Why would you think so ..I mean its going smoothly than ...
Certainly it is ..but as per your projection this project in London is in its final stage and we will be able to launch it in the next three months but unfortunately I will not be able to visit India to get all the feedback on this project ..I have invested enough to earn the right to have all the progress details from this stage on and its only fair you have someone there to work closely on the marketing and media plans ..
Mr. Garewal I m fully aware of your Apprehensions about this launch but you trust my people they won't leave a stone unturned to make it a success ..however if you really want I can consider sending someone over there ...I'll think and I'll ...//
Actually I have someone in my mind for this ...( maan tried to say something but he went on) GEET ...she has been working on this project since day one and who better than her ..she has been in touch with my staff regarding the progress of this project and obviously with your staff at London too ..
Mr. Garewal I know she is the best choice for this but its only one project you are thinking of when in fact there are many over here she is involved in so I cannot send her off so Abruptly ..and ...
.maan looked away from him anxiety already filling him with just the thought of her going away and that's when he saw geet standing with anushka and others clearly long done with her call and had her full attention on his conversation ...their eyes met and for a second she was confused with what she was seeing in his eyes ..anxiety ?? Fear ?? Anger?? but whyy she could not point her finger on one ...maan panic stare suddenly turned cold when Mr. Garewal started insisting n he turned to him ..
Rest assured Mr. Garewal I have better people than her for this ..n I will make sure the marketing campaign for this project is a sure success ...
Alright then Mr. Khurana I suggested what I thought was best ..but I would like to know who is going to handle the marketing campaign soon ..
I will sure get back to you soon ..
Mr. Garewal turned to leave followed by his team n geet bid him good bye
***
Maan had just left
his cabin to leave for the site visit along with anushka while geet was still
busy with reports on Darla's projects ..for a moment she glanced at maan's
office from across the glass wall n sighed ..being with him almost every where
has become a habit so much so that now all she can think is what he will be
doing ..she saw the time it was 12 noon ..thankfully maan has a lunch meeting
at least she doesn't have to worry about his lunch for one day ...
She stood up to take a file from anushka's table and that's when she saw the
file of maan's lunch meeting lying there ...
Geet rushed to her mobile and dialed maan's number it went busy ..then went
through the diary she had written anushka's number on and dialed hoping they
weren't out of the office premises yet ..
Hello ..who is this ??
Thank God.. anushka its geet..listen you have forgotten maan sirs' file that he needs to study before the lunch time meeting ..
But ma'am we r already in the car leaving ...
Anushka stop the car I m coming to the parking lot ..
Okiee ...
Geet ran to the elevator which would take her to the parking and came to a stop in front of anushka who was standing there nervous and sweating ..
Hi ..
Thank you so much ma'am aapne bacha liya ..or else I would have lost my job today itself ..
Its okie maan sir car mien hain ??
Nahi woh tu apni car mien chale b gye thay jab aapka call aaya ...
What ?? Tum guards ki car mien ...maan sir k saath kyun nahi hu tum ...unki car mien hona chahiye tha tumhain ..
Kya keh rahi hu Aap geet ma'am ..mien kaise maan Sir k saath beth sakti hoon unless he tells me to ...koi kaam huga tab hi unke saath bethoongi na ...aise kaise ..khair thank you for reminding me of this file ...mien nikalti hoon abb ..
Anushka left oblivious to the new world of formal conduct ahe left geet in ...
But mien tu humesha maan sir k saath hi jaati hoon ...he never said anything ...
Geet stood thr all confused and realizing the difference in Maan's behavior for the first time ever ...😉
