Preeta's cabin.

Preeta was busy arranging the files and selecting designs.

Preeta : (in mind) ye designs to mere khayal se last time select hui thi, ye... Uff mujhe samajh nahi raha hai kaun sa aayega.

A knock landed in her door.

Preeta : come in.

Pratik : (coming) preeta, ye mam ne tumhe diya hai.

Preeta : ye kya hai ?

Pratik : I don't know, shayad se koi assignment ki copy hai, aur ek new employee ka resume.

Preeta shrugged her shoulders.

Preeta : (rolling eyes) fine, rakh do yaha par...

Pratik : ok.

Keeping it on table, he went from there.

Preeta : (making faces) yaha na logo ko bohot zyaada samajh me aata hai.

She stood up, and went outside. "Managing director" was written over it. She knocked it, and received 'come in' as answer.

Preeta went inside and stood narrowing eyes.

"Whatt ??" Exclaimed pia checking files.

Preeta : what is this (extra sweetly) mam....

Pia : ohh this, maine pratik ke haatho tumhe bhijwaaya tha. Tumhe verify karna hai bas.

Preeta : (annoyed) ughh.... Pia, you very well know I just hate this.

Pia giggled.

Pia : (acting to strict) preeta, who gave you authority to talk with your boss like this.

Preeta looked her with "really ?" look.

Preeta : boss in your dreams...

Atlast pia burst into laughter.

Pia : (laughing) ohh god, preeta look at your face.

Preeta : dii, please ha stop it. You know this is not at all my work, and how much I hate it. Then too...

Pia : (giggling) so what preeta ? You are Director of this company, you should be habitual of this.

Preeta : ohh seriously di, I am employee too, and meri post se related aisa koi nahi hai work ok... (Rolls eyes)

(Note : Acc to Company's Act 2013, a director can be employee of company. So don't be confused 😶)

Pia : aww, bura maan gai, I was just joking baby, was just pulling your leg.

Preeta : ohh really (smirks) then do this outside this cabin.

Pia's expressions immediately changed from smile to stern.

Pia : preeta, kaam ho gaya ho tum jaa sakti ho.

Preeta : (mimics) kaam ho gaya ho to jaa sakti ho. Mujhe shauk bhi nahi hai yaha rehne ka miss. super strict. Huhh....

Preeta turned and go. While pia nodded her head smiling.

Pia : iska kuch nahi ho sakta hai, except karan ise sudhaar nahi deta tab tak. (Chuckles)

Outside the cabin....

Preeta : waise ye karan kaha gaya hai ? Mujhe use designs ke baare me baat karni hai. Itni der se gayab hai.

She started to find her here and there.

Preeta : kahi shoot par hoga to, lekin usne mujhe bataya to nahi tha. Kya pata wohi ho, jaakar dekhti hu.

Preeta went towards shooting area. She peeped inside studio, and saw karan there. Karan was doing shoot with arohi and some mens...

He seemed like tensed.

Karan : (frustrated) no arohi no... You are going wrong, show some passion, some fierce in your eyes.

Arohi too was tensed.

Arohi : yes sir, i understood....

Karan : good, pose now.

Arohi nodded, she posed. Arohi kept her one hand on waist, and other on head... But karan wasn't satisfy still...

Karan : arohi, change the pose.

She changed, again he wasn't...
Atlast after so much of try, karan became so frustrated.

Karan : (frustrated) no arohi, you are still not right. Why you aren't showing what I want, you have to be model not a not an ordinary.

Arohi : (tensed) but sir...

Karan : (angrily interrupting her) what sir arohi !! It's been 1 hour and you haven't done with single photo. And what sir ?? Don't you know to do a single photoshoot ??
(To camera girl) please let someone to show her what has to be done.

Angrily keeping his camera aside, karan went other side. Only one camera girl and arohi was in room. Preeta came in, karan didn't knew it, as he was busy in magazine.

Arohi was standing tensed, and saw preeta.

Preeta : (to camera girl) tum jaao, kaam rahega to mai bula lungi..

She nodded, and went from there.

Preeta : tum tension mat lo, mai tumhe batati hu what type he is talking. Don't mind wo hai hi dumbo.

Arohi chuckled.

Preeta : dekho, let me show you.

Saying it, she opened her hair. Arohi remained surprise seeing her, because she was looking more hot than ever.

Preeta : dekho, pehle covers ke liye, you should have your different poses which in some manner describes cover. Like this...

Preeta assembles herself in a pose with her hand on her waist, and hand slightly brushing hairs. Arohi nodded her head.

Arohi : (smiles wide) perfect. Mam, mai aapki photos le lu, to mujhe bhi help ho jaayegi.

Preeta : sure.

Preeta then started to show her different poses according to moods. And arohi was clicking her pictures with seeing her attentively. And in other corner, karan felt himself calm.

Karan : (sighs in mind) karan, shaant reh. Tere paas itna time nahi hai use dene ke liye. Chal back to work.

Karan turned and his gaze went on preeta. His eyes remained open with ultimate shock. Preeta's light make up and hot look and her open hair which added more hotness in her, spotlight falling on her, her blowing hair. It literally skipped karan's heart to an extent.

Unknown to himself, his hand dropped on main camera which set it on timer. Karan took a step more while lost in her.

Arohi noticed karan and the way he was lost in her. She smirked seeing them, and finding opportunity immediately leaved. Now, they were alone in the whole room.

Karan stepped more towards her, but she didn't noticed him because her face were in other side. Preeta's side top slipped a bit.

Slowly slowly reaching to her, karan softly slided his hand in her waist. Preeta gasped with shock. Karan correctly tucked the slipped cloth.

Preeta turned her face towards him, and their eyes met. Passion and fierce were clearly visible in karan's eyes. His hand on her waits, her hand behind her, and immense closeness. The timer got over, the photo get clicked !!

Karan fully turned her towards him. He corrected preeta's hand near neck and he slided his hand behind her neck. The photo get clicked !!!

Karan pull her more closer by waist, she clutched his collar. Leeaning towards her ear, karan slightly kissing sucked her earlope. While preeta's hold get stronger on his collar and she closed her eyes. Again, the photo get clicked. But this time indeed a perfect one !!!

Karan backed, preeta adjusted herself by holding him from nape. They both gazed deep into each other's eyes. Friendship alone was definitely not occupied. Preeta's hold get tighten on him, from which karan came back sense.

He looked here and there, then realized what happened a moment ago. Karan saw preeta still looking at him with live, passion, desire and everything.

Karan made her grip loosen from himself. Preeta to quitely came back in sense and backed off.
Karan closed his eyes and took a long breath to avoid awkwardness.

Karan : (fake smiles) wo, top ab sahi hai.

Preeta : (confused) haa ?? Kya ??

Karan : wo.. (pointing towards her top) side se kharab ho gaya tha, wo sahi kar diya maine.

Preeta's expressions changed into disbelief.

Preeta : to ye karne aaye the ?

Karan : (fake chuckles) ha obviously...

Preeta nods her head, and smiled soo sweetly.

Preeta : ok...thank you so much... (Gives extremely sweet smile and left)

The moment preeta went, karan slapped his forehead. He very well knews the meaning of that extra sweet smile.

Preeta being angrily, moved towards her cabin. She banged a file on table.

Preeta : (angrily) pura accha khaasa mood kharab kar diya... (Mimics) ha obviously. Huhhh !!! Karan Luthra, agar waisa nhi hota na, to aaj tak qatal kar chuki hoti mai tumhaara..... (She sighs deeply) haa.... Aaj tak tumne jitna mujhe sataya hai na karan luthra, un sab ka mai tumae gin ginkar badla lungi. Ab tum dekhte jaao preeta arora ka kamaal... (smirks).

Screen paused on preeta's smirking face and karan's nervous yet smiling face.

Precap : Her proposal.
