I have 3 flat mates. Together we are four people. We work in different companies. Priya has a boyfriend. Lavanya is very conservative. Sruti is about to get married in the next 6 months to her fiance. She is marring her college lover. During the initial days, Priya and I used to spend time together as we knew each other from college days. Once priya got boyfriend, she no longer had time to spend with us. So, lavanya and I started spending time together as we are both single. We four all together rarely go out these days.
That night, We all spent the evening watching movie together. It was fun. After the movie, I gave them a treat for getting my promotion. We went to barbeque and had great time there.
I slept very early that day. I woke up and its 5AM. I went to the gym. Everyone kept asking me where I was last week. I returned to apartment at 5:30. I meditated for few minutes. I organized my room. I prepared breakfast for all of us. Its 7:00AM. I put a facepack to my face and relaxed for a bit. I then went to shower. After shower, I joined for breakfast with my flat mates.
After that, I opened the newspaper. I started reading headlines. I opened business column. I was little shocked to read the news about the company. Apparently, the investment deal was cancelled as the company hid some confidential information to the investors. They dug up this information. Investors asked for change of terms and conditions after this information come to light. Finally, the deal couldn’t go forward as there was disagreement. The deal got cancelled. I also read that a legal fight may also go on between the investor and the company.
I wasn’t really expecting this to happen. I started thinking about this whole situation. I opened facebook. I searched for Raj profile. It finally found it. I searched for Naina in his friends list. I know Naina’s face. I opened her profile. First post I saw was 2 weeks back. She posted a photo of her and Raj. After that, there were no posts. Yesterday, Raj said Naina posted some pics on fb with the guy she cheated. I found no such pictures. Raj clearly lied to me.
I now started to understand why he behaved like that. He got the news that investors found out the hidden information and he knew that the deal would not go forward. Without this investment, company has to struggle. It may even face a shutdown.
Meanwhile, I got a text message from my Manager
“Neha, when would you like to meet me? I already sent you text before about the meeting”
I replied “now”.
He replied “Come to Hotel Stay Inn in 2 hours”
To be continued………………..
I completed my chores and started to the hotel.
I kept thinking about my future after I boarded the cab. I started to get worried. I wondered why manager wants to meet me. He could have spoken to me on phone if he wanted to convey something. However, he wanted to meet me privately. So it must be something important.
I reached the hotel. I felt bit anxious about the whole situation. I reached the hotel. I went to the reception. Manager was waiting for me. We sat where we sat before.
