Shivaay Oberoi (POV)-

Wednesday-

I sat in my car and started driving towards the hotel where the meeting with "AR Fashion House" was held.

During the drive I couldn't help but think about the encouter I had with Ahaana Mishra on monday

Flashback-

I had just returned to my room from the gym when I recieved a call from my mom asking me to pick her and my aunt up from the temple.

I quickly got ready and went down.
Ishaan and Krithika saw me leaving and ended up joining me.

When we reached the temple I asked them both to go in while I park the car.

After parking the car I went inside the temple but started getting annoyed at the people who were bumping into me.

I took a few more steps forward when a
girl who barely reached my shoulder bumped into me and stumbled backwards.

I moved instinctively and caught her by her waist pulling her into my chest ,her tiny body fitted perfectly in my arms as her hair fell on her face covering most of it.

"She looks soo beautiful, I don't want to let her go,I wish I could keep her in my arms forever" I thought as I stared at her without blinking my eyes, tightening my grip around her waist unconsciously pulling her more closer to me than she already was.

I stepped back after making sure she was steady and parted my lips to say something to her when someone pushed me from behind and I fell on her, she instinctively turned her face to the side and my lips landed on her cheek.

I froze for a few seconds before realizing our position and got up quickly stretching my hand towards her to help her up but she ignored me and got up on her own.

As she stood up I instantly recognized her from some of the magzines my sister owned ."Ahaana Mishra" the Ceo of the company where my sister worked and also the business partner (if she agreed to be )I had to meet in two days.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean....."I began but she cut me off with a nod of her head and went away.

"Bhai what took you so long" Krithika asked me as she ran towards me "Nothing just a business call" I muttered still unable to forget the softness of Ahaana's cheek against my lips and the way her body fitted perfectly against mine outbof my head.

End of Flashback-

As I entered the hotel a waiter quickly came to my side ushering me towards a private room where the meeting was going on.

As I entered the room Siddarth chachu got up from his chair followed by my secretary, Ahaana and another woman who was supposedly Ahaana's secretary.

"Ahaana meet Shivaay Oberoi, he is the one who wants to work in the paris project along with us"Chachu says introducing me.

"Nice to meet you, I am Ahaana Mishra" She introduces herself extending her hand towards me "Shivaay Oberoi" I mutter shaking her hand as I look into her again I see a hint of recognition pass through her eyes.

We sat opposite to each other, our secretaries next to us and Siddarth Chachu sat in the middle of the table.

"As you already know that the paris project starts in another 2 months we need........"Ahaana starts explaining about the project but soon I find myslef lost as I admire the way she pauses after each point probably waiting for suggestions or questions, and the way she moves her hands elaborating the details.

As she continues I can't help but stare at her lips, if she hadn't turned her head that day I would have ended up kissing her lips, is her lips as soft as her cheeks, will she let me kiss her again I wonder my eyes not leaving her even for a second.

"So what do you think about it?" she questions staring straight at me "I..It is good we are willing to work on this project "I stammer though I don't know anything about what she had just told.

"Before we sign the papers for the deal can I know why you chose our company ?There are 5 other companies from India participating in that event"Ahaana asks me but her question catches me offgaurd ,there are companies which are dying to sign a deal with The Oberoi's but here she is asking questions when we ourselves are willing to sign the deal.

"Yes, there are other companies that are participating in that event but we chose your company because it is trustworthy and has achieved alot in a very short time" I explain.

"And moreover my sister Krithika works in your company....."Just as I began to say something she interrupts me "So you want me to give a promotion or credits  for this project to your sister in exchange of this deal"she asks raising her eyebrow at me.

"No " I said firmly "My sister is capable enough to earn on her own she doesn't need my influence, I was about to say I have seen your work and found it impressive ,so I chose your company ".

For a second she looked like she is going to tell a No but then she nods believing the explanation I gave her.

"Fine then my assistant will send you the legal agreement " she says .

After some time Ahaana leaves with her assistant as I stay back to discuss few things with Siddarth chachu.
