Chapter 1
| Gupta Home Designs ~ Your home, Our dream |
"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS, DAD! I cant believe you put a frickin partner with me on this project! I can so do it on my own! And that too HIM! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
The not very delicate tones of the boss' daughter firing at the said boss reverberated across the floor where it was taking place but the news traveled, of course, to all other floors too, thanks to the ever efficient employees of 'Gupta Home Designs - Your home, Our dream'.
It was not uncommon for the junior Gupta to lose her ever so famous temper and in all honesty, the employees - from the chief designers to the chai wallahs - looked forward to the times she did - 11.15, 1.30, 4.00, 5.05 (plus, minus whenever, depending on her mood and on the presence of the 'bane of her existence') and so it was at 1.30 that the noise pollution had hit the roof over at GHD.
Men and women, interns and idiots all alike peeped out of their cabins, stopped in the hallways, paused in the canteen - all ears trained at the teak door at the far end of the marble flooring, having a coloured glass panel through which they could regrettably not see much, not from a distance anyway, but at least they could hear and so they did.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! YOU KNOW I CANT STAND HIM! HE IS SO EFFING ANNOYING! BLOODY KNOW-IT-ALL!"
But before their ever so patient boss could form a reply to calm down his raging offspring, another voice spoke up.
Deliberately soft.
Honeyed to the sloping 'o'.
Sarcastic to the core.
And enjoying it.
"Well just because I beat you in the college exams, you deem me a 'know-it-all'. Tsk tsk Miss. Gupta...you really need to learn to let things go...don't you think so, Uncle?"
There was a silence following this seemingly harmless statement yet the audience over at GHD could almost feel the seconds ticking before...
"YOU BLOODY JACKASS! YOU GOT .5 MORE THAN ME! THAT'S NOT EVEN A FRICKIN MARK!"
And people shook their heads.
Trust Arnav Singh Raizada to rile Khushi Kumari Gupta when there was absolutely no extra need to.
