Episode 24

Joey was disturbed upon hearing that she was leaving in a month. He had grown attached to her. The way she would scold him when he did something wrong, the way she laughed, her panicking face, her smile. Everything was beautiful and pure about her that he had grown attached too. In fact he came to office only for her. He was like bee to flower, like a moth to fire. He was attracted to her in that sense.

Her pure nature drove his way to her every time. Every instance when he would decide to leave his job he would stay even when he had billions in his account and he didn't need to work he would stay not for the job but for her. Because of her his interest had grown in her religion. He couldn't name his attachment before but now he was able to name it. Love. He was in love with her. He could think of any other name. He had never been with a woman who he hadn't had physical contact with. For him it was always sexual first. But here he was with her not for sexual feelings but genuine feelings. He liked her for what she was. For her thinking, her character, her way of living .

When he came in contact with her he gave up dating and being with woman. He would either be with her at work or at home think about the next day. Parties , alcohol , girls , drugs everything he did he didn't do it in her presence. As soon as she came in his life he changed. He felt good. He became sober. He wanted to become what she thought he was. He wanted to change his lifestyle. His way of living. He wanted her to spend her life with him. To become his spouse. To guide him. To be for him. To make family with him. He was ready to go to any extent for her. If he could be good he could be bad also.

Running his fingers through his hairs she thought about what she said when he heard knock on her door but before he can say anything Janet barged in.

"What was that bitch doing with him?" She gritted.

"Control your tongue Janet." He warned her.

"Oh really? I am asking you something and all you say is control your tongue. Did that whore lured you in?" She yelled at him. Hearing her words he lost his control and splashed a glass of water on her face so that she could come to her senses.

'How can a woman be so disrespectful for other righteous woman?' He thought.

"Whore? Seriously? Janet we both know she is not of that character. If it is anyone it can be you but not her." He grumbled angrily.

"What? Look at you? What are you saying? You have become a love sick puppy haven't you?" She muttered shocked and agitated both at the same time.

"Yes I am. At least I am better than you I like her for what she is. Unlike you wanting a man for his status and beauty and nothing else. I like her for what she is not for what status she has or beauty let alone." He reasoned sitting back on his chair.

"I don't care if you love her or hate her. If she comes in my way I will destroy her. Remember that." She warned him shaking her head.

"Get out now." He barked not wanting any of this stupid threatening conversation.

Turning around she left banging the door behind.

This was what she had not hoped Joey would say to her. Now she was even more grudging towards her. She was already feeling threat towards Loosing on Rafay but now she actually did lost Joey to her.

"Is she waving her magic wand on them?" She murmured upon seeing how basically both the men where craving her attention.

"I have to do something fast. Or else she will sweep Rafay away from me." She determined.

She had to think of something big which could change her game for good. So she indulged herself in devising a plan for the purpose.

Rafay called Janet in her cabin to discuss about the upcoming event. Quickly taking her iPad with her she dashed towards his cabin.

"Yes Mr. Mallick?" She reported standing in front of him.

"Come sit. I want you to look after the event organisation and the timing when and how the product would be launched. I want a report prepared on it detailing everything. Arrange and invite press media to it. We want it to be a big launch and a grand success." He told directing every detail he wanted her to prepare.

"The sample product is present in my vault arrange a photography session so we could launch its first look in the event." He ordered.

"Alright sir. Anything else you want me to jot down?" She asked getting up.

"Right now nothing . If I remember anything I will let you know." He said discarding there conversation.

She had a lot a work and she knew it was way to important to him so she couldn't afford mistakes in her job so she decided to focus current on her job.

While she was visualising and planning everything a though struck in her mind. She stopped her work and started swirling her pencil on her fingers.

"There is the plan I was looking for." She smirked thinking what an opportunity she got to destroy aromas once and forever.
