Part 11
The conference was going to be held on the span of 5 days...where companies were to present their proposals over the 2 days and the final three days were kept for the introduction between the multinational company and the company chosen... and for further formalities.
Geet's Company turn was on the first day...
Okay...the tension was in the air...all were determine to get the project...
G: Yash are you ready to present it with me..
Y: Yes...I am ready...
G: Ok then Pinky will be assisting me... and Abhay will be assisting you...They will take care of the preparation of the presentation and in the mean time we will check the files...
P: ok Ma'am...
Pinky was a little tensed and the only thing that could reduce it was FOOD! Pinky bought a big packet of chips and was munching on it. Yash saw this and
Y: Pinky you selfish creature... you are munching on those chips all alone...give them to me
P: No Yash I cannot because these chips are doing the job to reduce my tension
Y: Oh God I'm so tensed
He snatched the packet from Pinky and started munching on chips
P: (Pinky snatched it back) you think I'm in a good condition I am more tensed then you...
They were talking while snatching the chips ...
Y: Oh Pinky you have been working for a long time you know how to deal with presentations and all...
P: Yes but not this big...presentation...
Y: But still you know how to act while do so...this is my first and I sweating like I have come back from a race ...
While both of them were discussing this they were really disturbing Abhay and Geet. Where Yash and Pinky were no near to a stop
Y: We are dead
P: We are so dead
Yash & Pinky: Oh God!!!!!
That was it for Abhay and Geet
Abhay & Geet: Would you both shut up..!!!!!
Both went mum...and then remained silent for the rest of the time.
Finally Geet's turn came. Frist the introduction was done by Geet and Yash. It went well. Now it was Abhay and Pinky's turn. Abhay was presenting while Pinky was the one to handle the slides. Her seat was a little far from where Abhay was standing to present. It was the time to change the slides but poor Pinky was too busy munching on her chips.
A: Pinky change the slide (He said in a low voice because of the mike)
P: ?????
A: Pinky
P:??????
Abhay this time was angry and said it loud!
A: PINKY!!!!
The whole hall was echoing ...Pinky was startled and immediately changed the slide. Though not before getting stern looks from both Geet and Abhay. If looks could kill she would be dead till now..
However, the presentation was very impressive. The judges were astonished with the perfection of every detail.

Next day:
Today there was no work for Geet's team as they have given the presentation so it was off. Yash, Pinky and Abhay had decided to watch a movie while Geet and Pari went for shopping...
While, today was Maan's presentation also. And here Piya was suffering from her worst nightmare. She had to give the presentation with Maan. While Meera was with Adi. For an hour Meera was consoling Piya about not to worry...Well the situation was not that good.
P: How can you say this Meera that everything will be all right...I have to give presentation with that ...that ...that... Zalim Singh Khurana...who is also coincidently a Perfectionist... He's goanna kill me if anything goes wrong...
It was good that Maan had gone to buy coffee, While Piya continued her cursing.
M: Oh come on Piya he's not that bad...I know him since college he's not that bad...
P: Not that bad...Not that bad ...Which planet are you living in (Piya was looking at Meera as if she was an alien) haven't you ever seen the state of the office 5 minutes before Maan arrives. And if anything is not right that guy is dead ...and if I mess this up he's surely goanna kill me because this project is important for him ...I think I should write my will right now because I won't live a second after this presentation..
A: He hehehehehe (Giving his trade mark laugh)
Piya was miserably looking at him.
Meera: Oh Piya nothing will happen he won't literally kill you
A: He can actually!
Now Piya was on the verge of crying
Meera: Not helping Adi...(in whispers)
A: Sorry but you can't ignore the reality
P: That Zalim Singh Khurana will not spare me today...
Me: Piya just relax...cool down and take deep breaths
P: What kind of person will relax when death is so close...I'm dead I'm so very dead...
Just then Maan was back but he only herds the word dead'. Piya could not see him because she had kept her hands on her face... covering her eyes. Meera and Adi saw him...
M: Who's dead?
Piya thought that it was Adi was asking
P: Uffo Adi stop it...I am so tensed today. I am sure that Zal-
But Meera put her hand on her mouth to prevent her from speaking further..
A: S-si-rr you are back
Piya was terrified to see him. What if he had listened to everything? Piya was looking at him in horror, with wide eyes...
Maan: What were you talking about...Something dead...??????
A: Woh...Woh...we were...umm
Meera tried to cover up the situation
Meera: We were just talking about...vampires. You know they are dead and all so we just...
Maan gave them a confusing glance
Maan: Okay so are we ready for the presentation?
A: Yes sir
Maan: Piya I know this is your first presentation so I want no mistakes. Get it.
P: Yes sir
Piya squeaked out ...
Ma: Come on let's go
Maan tuned around. Piya stood up but was about to faint but Meera caught her...
Me: Hang in there Piya
Piya gave her a weak smile...
The presentation started with Maan, he gave the introduction. When Piya was coming to the stage she tripped and fall in nervousness. Adi laughs.
A: Heheheheheh
Anyways the presentation went well and it was flawless. Maan thought that they had a clear victory...
Next Day:
The board of directors came to announce who that person was who can handle this project. Maan and Geet were sitting on the opposites sides with their teams. Pari was also along with their team.
Here Geet was extremely nervous...that whether she will get the project or not...On the other side Maan was pretty confident as he was sure that he will get the project as he yesterday could tell from the faces of the directors that were really impressed...
Here the board of directors started to announce:
BOD: Thank You so much for coming all the way from your homelands ...to show your proposals... we are over whelmed to see the response and we are really impressed with your ideas...but you see we all have to take into account the budgets...the financial feasibility..etc...You know as everyone present here is well aware of the external environments as you yourself are successful business man/women...Okay without taking much time we will announce the teams...
Everyone was like teams... Weren't they supposed to consider only one team...?
BOD: Yes Ladies and Gentlemen you are guessing right we have not chosen only one team but two...we were extremely confused on which team to give the project...we couldn't find any flaws either in their presentations nor in their blueprints...what can we say..
So the teams I am calling upon should come on the stage...Okay now hold your breaths...
Ok the project goes to...Geet Handa the owner of the GH Industries...we would like to call her team to the stage...Please Ms. Geet Handa, Ms .Pinky khanna, Mr. Abhay Raichand and Mr.Yash Mehra... Please come!!!!
Here Maan as soon as heard the name of the girl was like... How can a girl beat Maan Singh Khurana...I don't know how can this happen...this is not POSSIBLE...there is got to be a mistake...
Wait did I hear Handa... Is she be the daughter of...but later he shrugged of that thought...by making him remind that they can be other people who have similar surnames...
While he was adamant to see that who is that person who beat the Mr.Prefectionist
On the other hand Geet stood up...as there was no light present none could actually see her face but when she stood on the stage in front of everyone...
Maan immediately recognized her...wait is she the beach girl...How is she here...He was a bit astonished.
Later the board of directors congratulated her team than went back to the podium to announce the second team...
BOD: Ok the second team who made it to the project is...Maan Singh Khurana's the owner of the Khurana Industries... May I call upon Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, Mr. Aditya Mishra, Ms. Meera Chopra and Ms. Piya Dobrail...on the stage.
There Maan was like I knew it...this is only my victory...and then later went to the stage...
On the other hand Geet was like...How come he got this project...this was a clear victory for me... I will definitely kick him out of the project and then this is only mine...
Maan with his team came on the stage...and the board of directors congratulated him and his team...
He was smiling at Geet and remembered their beach talks...etc.
Geet took this in the wrong manner... (Self-thought) How can a person be so unprofessional...Look at him he is ogling at me...So flirtious person...how I will work with this person...
BOD: Thank you all of you...for giving us your precious time...we are sure that you will get success in the future...Have a nice Day!!!
Both of them returned...Geet from her cursing session and Maan from the past when the board of directors directed them to meet them in the conference hall of the hotel...On their way people were congratulating both the teams... Here Maan and Geet exited the stage. And Pari rushed towards Maan. Till now Geet was a little ahead so that she was not able to see or hear them.
P: Hey the beach guy!!!!
Maan stopped right there... thinking who called him like that...he turned and saw the girl...then he remembered that she is the same girl who came with Ms. Geet the other day...
M: Yeah!!!
P: I want a favor from you...
M: Yeah go on...
P: It's a matter of life and death and you cannot deny it...
M: Sure go on... (Little nervously)
P: PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...DON'T SAY ANTTHING TO HER...She will literally eat me alive...Please don't tell her the beach incident...She doesn't remember anything regarding it...Plzzz Plzzz Can I trust you..
M: Okayyy!!! I won't tell her anything...(while giving a mischievous glint...which was not missed by Pari...)
P: And don't you dare harm her...
M: Ok... (Again said nervously due to the loud expression of Pari...)
M: (sarcastically) Ok I will not tell her or else I know that you will take me to the court.
Later after their talk Maan instantly moved towards Geet.
Geet's thoughts...
G: Oh God who am I stuck with...He is such a flirt and if these board of directors expect me to work with him they are so wrong...He would be staring at me...Oh sorry ogling at me half the time and the project will never be completed...I know that there is a HUGE mistake made by these people..
Here Geet continued her talks...while it was obvious that Maan could hear everything because he was walking so close...Okay now Maan was also tired of her stupid accusations...
M: You know I can hear you pretty clearly...
Geet was a little embarrassed to hear that but still replied...
G: Well good ...besides I don't like to repeat myself...
M: People today... (He said it in a low mummer)
G: Did you say anything...
M: (suppressing his anger) Not yet...
G: What do you mean...?
M: Nothing...Let's go in...
G: Wait! Just a little reminder so you don't get your hopes high... You won't get this project... And I'll make sure to kick you out...
Geet finished with fake sweet smile...Now that just hit Maan's ego too hard. Because he had worked hard on this project.
M: Listen!! YOU! just because ...I'm not saying anything does not mean that you'll just keep going on with your ridiculous talks. And as for the mistake that you were talking about that the he board of directors made I think that it was you who was a mistake ...but a huge mistake they made handing a project to a CRAPPY GIRL LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Geet just stared at him...Did he just snapped at me??
