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
It's almost the end of September and the autumn showers have started entering the daily life of London. Having a cup of hot coffee and enjoying rain in the evening became Pari's favourite part of the day. Work life was quite decent since they had already submitted the mid-year financial reports in early September and now they could breathe freely for sometime. Sonu's birthday was in 3 days and the plan this time was to celebrate it in Montezuma club in Mayfair. Since it was the weekend they need not bother about the work and stuff, so it was decided that they would enjoy it to the best of their abilities. Sonu banged Pari's door on her birthday morning and asked her bestie to join her for the special spa day at Quan spa. " But it's your birthday, I should be the one gifting you something of this sort, why are you spending so much on me?" Pari asked her as soon as she told her about the impromptu spa plan. Spending a day in a spa… that too in London is nothing but a huge blow to any
Pari woke up next day as usual and got ready for her work with a simple offwhite sleeveless shirt and a navy blue A-line skirt and kept her hair open with some clips here and there. Due to Sonu's continuous pressurising act, she finally decided to put on some makeup and dress up every day. She walked out after getting ready and picked a blue wedge to complete her look. "Pari.... You look cute like a real fairy today. Not bad...my baby girl finally started working on her styling" Sonu rushed to give her a sloppy hug. Pari definitely had a dramatic best friend. After the lovely hug sessions, they had their breakfast together and left for the office. Pari reached her cubicle before others from her team and started checking her reports. Others joined her soon and they started working. The meeting with their CEO was scheduled at 10 in the morning but Claire was nowhere to be seen. Pari had already heard a lot about the strictness of their boss and right now she was curious about her sen
