Kirtana Jyothi (2/2)

"They just offered to buy out the locations under our control f-for a sum of 12 m-million V-Varaha," The last few words almost did not come out of her mouth. 

"What!"

Kirtana exclaimed. "How? Why? ..." She didn't know what to ask, so she quickly took the letter and read it thoroughly. Seeing that it was true, she was stunned. 

She did not understand why, but from what she knew, a pie doesn't simply fall from the sky—there had to be some reason for it. She took her time to compose herself and looked at the excited assistant. "Did they give a deadline for the deal?"

Loka Yagni nodded coquettishly. "Two days..."

Kirtana frowned. 'So little time. Are they forcing me to sell the location, or is there something I have that they want so badly?' 

She decided to test Sunil Chittyar and Anil Kumar (owner and manager of Chittyar Mining and Patnaik & Bros).

"Reject the offer. I am not willing to let go of the location at this price."
