Chapter 3

Khushi looked up at her dad tears in her eyes "did I tell you are the best dad in the world and every time I come back i want you as my father"

"Yeh yeh yeh , just don't be such hard work next time -OK- Now let's finish eating this ice cream and watch a classic The Magnificent 7"

"No dad how about the magnificent 2"

"What are you going on about Khushi - there is no film called the magnificent 2"

"Sholay!"

Khushi read the file before the meeting AR constructions wanted a 60% share in the new contract before a joint submission for the development of a new site.

Khushi read and reread the contract played with the figures - no way was she going to let AR construction get 60% of the contract either they had 51% or nothing.

Shashi came into find her "ready for battle -no time for pussy footing around go straight for the jugular -OK"

Arnav already knew that Shashi Gupta was a hard man to negotiate with but he had also heard that his daughter was a Piranha in the board room - were they both that scared of him that it took two of them to make the deal.

She walked in and stunning sophisticated oozing style and grace with every movement she made.

She sat at the board table and acknowledged the other party "Not to waste any time what are your proposals gentlemen"

I was all Khushi could do not to stare, she looked like a duck effortlessly gliding across the water buy underneath her feet were paddling ten to a dozen just to stay calm and focused.

Her father raised his eyebrow and then recovered , what had her spooked, but she was recovering buying time - should he step in - it had been hard for her he needed her to see this through to regain her self confidence.

There across the board table sat Arnav dressed in an Armani suit poised for the kill. What the hell was he doing here? Did her dad know he was the guy? All Khushi could think of was his strong muscular arm's his six pack his hypnotic stare she could feel his eyes burning through her.

Arnav did a double take as she walked in they acknowledged each other ,he saw that she had grace poise and beauty but all he could remember was the red lacy bra threatening to reveal a rose ,her silken textured breast the butterfly just at the start of her crack. Arnav gulped business think business, that thin waist his foggy memory was returning in flashes the whole jigsaw wasn't there yet but pieces were present. He hadn't heard a word, what had she said who was speaking. Those sexy legs his eyes travelled up her what would she be like in bed he needed the whole jigsaw not just bits. He stared at her taking every drop in like a parched man in a desert finding an oasis to lose himself in. Those lips he wanted them to leave an imprint on his he wanted to taste her again.

"Miss Gupta let's cut a long story short what do you want?"

"55%"

"Shall we settle at 50% and let these gentlemen figure out the knitty gritty"

Her father had seen the look in Arnav's eyes and he didn't like it one bit. In the time taken for Khushi to present he had undressed her and ... his thoughts could take him no further. But he was damned if he would let Khushi have any dealings with Arnav.

So if that is settled -my daughter can return to more pressing matters whilst you and i peruse the final contract"

"Afternoon gentleman"

He watched her sashay out of the room with her hips swaying from side to side hypnotically.

"So" Arnav bringing him back to the present here and now -"for this 50% equal share what do you want"

What had he really said 50% god he had better stop thinking of those breasts and concentrate otherwise he could easily lose another million in profit.

Khushi stood outside the door shaking she felt as though her knees were about to give way.

She felt ill and quesy would she have to face him again?

Khushi dragged herself to her office and sat there - what had happened? when was La coming back ? she needed to talk to La ? Just looking at him quickened her breathing ,and made her weak at the knees.

She needed to get away - but they were signing a contract - how much longer would she have to put up with him for .
