During dinner both of them tasted all the lovely desserts prepared by Ian and Pari was instantly in love with the taste. "Were you planning to get me into the hospital with so much sugar?" She asked him. Though it was a sweet gesture, it was really a sugary proposal, thank god she didn't have any health issues. "I didn't want to take you to some stupid 5 star restaurant for dinner. You love what I cook. So this seemed like a better idea. Moreover, dessert is my forte." He winked. Ian had a huge sweet tooth, so he would always pester his mom to prepare something to satisfy his cravings. In the process of making it, he would learn the recipe too. So desserts were indeed his forte. "Of course.... " Pari couldn't disagree. "And the girl I love is very sweet. So I thought something sweet would go well, " Ian cheekily replied. "Your sweet girl would have lost her sweet tooth if not for the spicy dinner. But thank you for putting up so much effort. I know it's not easy " "Anything for
Pari was busy stuffing her face with junk food in her apartment in the evening as she binge watched a show. It was already Thursday and they had to attend a party on Friday night. So she called Ian to discuss the plans for tomorrow. "Ian, Will you pick me up after I get ready at my apartment or shall I get my things and come to your place and get ready? " She asked him while wiping her hands clean."I'll pick you up so you can have a good amount of time to get ready" Ian answered. "Oh please.. You should feel lucky because I hardly take much time to get ready. Anyways, help me with the gown. I'm stuck between blue and baby pink. Both are gorgeous." Pari sighed. "I'm sure both look good on you. But I've always admired you in blue. You look like an angel in blue" Ian replied. "Cool, blue it is then. Anyways, do you have any idea how boring this party would be? I need to be mentally prepared" Pari never really enjoyed the suffocatingly sophisticated parties, she preferred a simple pa
Ian was busy picking up his beloved Erica's favourite yellow tulips perfectly matching her cheery smile. She was like a fresh breath of air in his busy life. He wasn't the usual hard headed businessman when he was with her. She changed his dull life and filled colours in it. In their 2 year old relationship, she learnt to manage his mood swings and he learnt to love simple things.Erica an
London:"There's nothing of the sort 'no' in my business world Mr. Carter. It's either a willing yes or a forced one. If I were to be you, I would have preferred the former '' He spoke with the most authoritative tone making it impossible for further discussions.
Pune:" Pari beta, please consider this for one last time. The groom's side is very good and broad minded. They also said they would allow you to work after marriage. You're not getting younger anymore dear. Please meet the boy and talk to him"
Next day morning, the dining table at Deshmukh family was painfully silent. No one spared a glance at Pari and she didn't have any problems with it. Once she was done with her breakfast she wanted to speak about her plans to start working in London and she announced her interview notice to her family." What do you mean by working in London? Do you know how far that place is? Do you think it's funny to play with your parents feelings? What's wrong with your job in Pune? Why are you making our life complicated Pari? Why can't you think of your parents for once in your life? " Shilpa immediately questioned Pari's decision."Maa... Not this time please. All these years I have only kept you as my priority. I rejected every job offer that wasn't in Pune just because you both wouldn't appreciate it. But this time, I want to live for myself. I want to breathe freely for once. Let me live my life for my sake too. " Pari defended her stance." But it's just a
For the next two days, Pari was entirely jobless, so she thought of spending her time exploring the neighbourhood. Knightsbridge is really a great place for an explorer. The city itself is a universe of its own, be it the historical monuments or the bustling shopping streets... it has it all. Spending some time on herself after a long time was much needed therapy for Pari. Somewhere, the caged bird in her felt carefree in those two days. The very next day she received two important emails. One from Tech Mahindra stating the approval of her resignation and the other from I&E stating her appointment details. She was supposed to join in a week's time and now she had to run home to complete her resignation and return to London with her entire luggage. Her new company had paid for her flight tickets and the flight was on the very next day. Pari called Sonu to inform about the good news and also called home to let them know about her arrival. She soon started packing a few necessary thin
Making more money out of the money in hand has always been a hard task in the business world. One has to be cruel, act merciless and seal a deal to make profit. Being the head of a conglomerate group comes with its own responsibilities. One slip and the price to be paid would be hefty. That's the reason Ian never believed in second chances. "If you can't do well with the opportunity in hand, how do you expect me to believe again? So anyone working under me needs to follow the policy of do or die" was Ian's clear instructions to his employees from day one. It took him years to build his empire. He has seen people using the worst tricks in business on his way to reach his current position. So each penny mattered a lot to him, that doesn't mean he is a stingy boss. According to him the relationship between him and his employees was the exact give and take one. If they were able to render him the service to the best of their abilities, then he was willing to pay the deserving sum as thei
