Here goes the next part.

-------------------------------------------

"May I come in sir?'' There was a voice and he replied in a yes.

"Morning sir! Morning ma'am. Ma'am, I had informed you about a model." Her manager, Shagun said.

"Yeah Shagun, I remember.'' Answered Annika while Shivaay looked on.

"I got her today with me. Olivia, please come in. ''

Olivia, a young woman with skinny body type and golden brownish long hair , came in and greeted them.

Shivaay looked at Olivia once and thought, "She has all the things that Annika lacks at.''

Shivaay was lost in his thoughts while Annika was talking to Olivia and Shagun regarding work.

After they both went outside, Annika thought to hire Olivia as she had all the qualities of a high profile model. She wanted to inform Shivaay about the same .So, she called him but he was not listening.

"Shivaay...Shivaay....'' She spoke loudly this time.

"Yeah...Annika I am hearing.''

"Really Shivaay?!''

"Ok...cut it and come to the point.''

"So, the point is we needed a new model for photo shoot n all stuff, right?''

"Of course Annika. You only were looking for models.''

"So, I think Olivia has all those qualities. I think we should hire her. ''

"Do as you feel right. I need some rest. I am going home. Will you come with me or later?''

"I have 2 meetings lined up.''

"Ok then. I am going. Bye.''

"Yaa...see you soon.''

He went home while she got busy with her meetings.

OBEROI MANSION

Shivaay went straight towards his room. He got rid of his formal clothes and wore his kurta pajama and went to sleep.

"Yesterday's night without her was a really bad one. I asked her to go away. And she went too. Annika, why don't you understand me yaar? She knows I can't sleep without seeing her still she...'' He thought while lying on his bed staring the ceiling of his room.

Today, he has got leisure time after almost a month but he is feeling bored. They say when you have extreme interest in your work; a day without work makes you feel you're unproductive and useless.

Same is the case with him.

SHIVAAY'S POV

What viren said in the party yesterday was somehow true. Annika should lose some weight n wear those mini dresses. N then she would look perfect but she will never wear them. Not in this birth! She loves to wear sarees when she can wear whatever she wants. I agree, Dadi loves women wearing traditional but she never asked her to wear saree and Mom n Badi mom really don't care about her outfits. She should wear something like Olivia. Olivia was looking totally the way viren had described my wife to be.

Wait, Can't I take Olivia with me to the parties? Yeah, I can surely take her. Annika is always busy in office work. Olivia is top model of Oberoi Textiles Limited. So, she can definitely come with me. Moreover, she will wear clothes according to me only. No one will question too. Yaa, I feel this is right.

Thinking about all this, he slept.

He woke up after sometime. He decided to talk to his mom.

SHIVAAY'S MOM'S ROOM

"Mom'' He knocked the door.

His mom was reading some magazine sitting on her chair. While reading it, she signaled him to come inside.

He came inside n took a seat.

"Shivaay, what happened?''

"Nothing mom; was just feeling bored. So, came to talk to you.''

"So, Mom became time pass.'' She chuckled

"Mom, what are you saying? You are my top most priority. Never ever refer to yourself as time pass.'' He said in a grave voice.

"I was just joking. Mera bachha'' She said waving her hands over his hairs.

"Mom, don't ruin my hairstyle.''

"Ohh...I forgot only my bahu has that right.''

"Don't ask about your bahu. She's such a boring person.''

"Aisa kya kar diya usne?''

[ "What she did?'' ]

" Kya nahi kiya usne?''

["Ask me what she did not do?'']

"Hamesha apne man ka kaam karti hain. Mere hisaab se kapde tak nahi pehen sakti.''

"Kyun who tere hisaab se kapde kyun pehene?Tu pehenta hain kya?''

"Arre main kyun uske hisaab se rahun?''

"You know what Shivaay, I think tumko apne sawaal ka jawaab khud hi mil gya.''

There was silence for some seconds. Then, he further spoke.

"Ok . She should wear whatever she wants to but if we are going to any party she should groom herself. Right? She goes to gym only on sundays. That's why she is getting chubby day by day. What she does in office whole day? Just sitting in an Air conditioned cabin and enjoying.''

"Just shut up Shivaay. Aaj tu bahut bol raha hain .Tu bhul raha hain tu kis ladki ke bare mei baat kar raha hain. Who sirf teri wife nahi balki meri bahu bhi hain. Tujhe toh sirf Oberoi Industries ko sambhalna hain apne air conditioned chamber mei baithker. Sirf signatures karne hote hain. Par meri Annika woh Oberoi Industries , Raichand Industries aur poora Oberoi Mansion sambhalti hain. Roz usse Mumbai to delhi, phir back to Mumbai jana hota hain. Upar se teri meetings ki chinta jitni tujhe nahi hoti haina usse kai jyada usse hoti hain. She sleeps late at night kabhi 3 toh kabhi 5 baj jate hain. Phir subaah jaldi uthke usse 7 baje office pahuch jati hain. Jis bande ka schedule itna busy ho woh gym, beauty parlour aur spa ke liye time kaise nikale haan? Answer me. Don't you dare say anything to her. Understood?''

" Mom, you don't understand me . You always take her side. Mai aapka beta hun ki woh? She never goes to party acche se and I have to hear from others.''

"Toh ek kaan se sunkar dusre kaan se nikaal dijiye, beta ji.''

"Mom you are impossible.''

"Toh Annika ki hi saas hun na.''

"Mom, you know what just...just...I am going in my room.''Shivaay said irritatingly.

"Close the door and go.'' said Pinky continuing her magazine.

8 PM

OBEROI MANSION DINING HALL

Everyone is seated except Annika. Shivaay with Om and Rudra [his cousin brothers] too comes to dine.

Just then, Annika arrives talking with someone on phone. She cuts the call and walks in the dining hall.

Pinky, Shivaay's mom on seeing her uttered "How was your day beta?"

"It was a lovely day mom and I got to know about marketing skills from Dad and Bade papa. By the way, keeping office aside did you n Dadi take your meds and meals on time?''

"Of course beta. You took your dinner or not?''

"Yeah mom, I took my dinner with the delegates.''

"Ok then, beta you look tired. Go to your room n take rest.''

"Yeah, good night mom. Good night everyone.''

She goes in her room n changes into her night dress.

After some time, Shivaay too came in the room.

He sat on the bed while she settled on the other side of the bed with some cushions and her laptop.

"Annika..''

"Hmm''

"Are you busy this week? I mean, any new projects?''

"Yes, there's launching of two new products at delhi office of Oberoi Industries. Then, there's foreign delegates coming at Raichands Industries. So, little busy. What happened? Why are you asking this?''

"Nothing major! This week too, we have to go to business party but if you're busy , it's okay. I will manage. ''

"Shivaay, if you want, I will come."

"No Annika, it's ok . I will manage."

"Are you sure, Shivaay?''

"Yeah...I will take somebody from the office.''

"Ok then.'' She replied and got busy with her work while he slept.

NEXT MORNING

OBEROI INDUSTRIES

SHIVAAY'S CABIN

Shagun knocks on the door.

Shivaay - Come in.

Shagun - Morning sir. Sir, you called me?

"Yeah Shagun. You have informed about some business function.When is it?'' Shivaay said looking into some file.

"The one with Malhotras?''

"Yeah.''

"That's tomorrow Sir ."

"Ok. Any more meetings today ? ''

"An hour later sir and that's the last for today.''

"Ok. Do one thing. Send Olivia to me and make sure you check all the arrangements for the meeting.''

" Ok sir. "

After sometime, Olivia comes in Shivaay's cabin.

Olivia - Sir you called me ?

Shivaay - Yeah Olivia, sit here.

"Thank you, sir. Any specific reasons for calling me here ? " Olivia said as she took a seat.

"Yeah . I just saw your photoshoot done yesterday and I must say, You are doing an excellent job here.

"Thank you sir. It's my pleasure to work with Oberoi Textile Industries.''

" Actually, tomorrow there is a business party hosted by Malhotras. Many foreign delegates will be arriving there and Annika is busy. I need someone who can represent Oberoi Industries. So, will you come with me?''

"Sir, are you sure that nobody's gonna have any problem with it? I mean, the office staff n all?''

" Why would anyone say anything? I mean, you are the main model of our company. You can definitely come with us. Moreover, I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi. If anyone has any problem, I will fire that person.''

"Ok sir. I will come.''

"Just message me your address. I will pick you at 10 tomorrow. Yeah, Alex will go to your house and give you a dress. Just wear it and come at the party tomorrow. I hope you understand.''

"Sure sir.''

"You can go now.''

"Ok sir. Afternoon sir.'' She said and left from his office.

SHIVAAY'S POV

Olivia is beautiful, slim and she has a unique fashion sense better than that ahana and she agreed to come to the party. I am so happy. Mr. vivaan just wait and watch. How this Shivaay Singh Oberoi insults you at party tomorrow.
