The plane landed in London and tired Geet came out after getting her bags and passing all the security checking. A car was already waiting for her to take her to the hotel. Once reaching the room that would be hers for few days, she took a shower and felt fresh. Without wasting a moment. She called Mr. White, the principal of Oxford University and informed him that she had reached London and fixed the meeting time of evening.
There were still few hours till evening came by and not wanting to sit idly in the room, she decided to go to her favorite sight-seeing. She had been to London quite a few times and she had her own favorite places she liked to visit every time she came to London. She first stopped by at MC's to get herself a shake and as she wasn't hungry, she decided to skip lunch.
******************************
They were all on basketball court. Maan and Sam were playing and Raj and Emily were getting bored. Both were playing but they kept on over-tracking the other. As always, they lost interest. Emily: "MK, we are getting bored. Let's do something fun na!" they stopped playing and walked over to them. Maan: "Where?"
Raj: "How about the Thames Path? The weather's nice and it has been a while since we have been to such a place with great view."
Everyone quickly agreed. It was decided. They were to meet back at the front of the campus in exactly 20 minutes or they would be left behind.
***********************************
Geet went to Thames Path first and as she entered, she quickly lost track of time. The same thing happened to Maan and his friends. They got so lost having fun and remembering times spent there, they lost track of time and forgot that principal had asked them to be present at evening for a meeting. Geet's cell rang and the alarm reminded her that it was time to head for the meeting. She quickly got up form where she was peaceful sitting and enjoying the view and proceeded towards east exit.
Mr. White called on Raj's cell and reminded them to get back to campus in half hour for the meeting. They all hurried as well.
All of them were going toward east exit. Maan was in front of the other group. She suddenly stopped and remembered she had to throw away her shake cup and thus turned around bumping right into Maan. She wasn't able to see his face as she was in hurry but quickly apologized and Maan couldn't see her face either but said, "It's fine" and turned back around to join in with his friends who were couple of steps in front of him.
When she turned around to see who she bumped into, she saw backs on two boys and two girls but none of their faces. She said, "Oh well!" and went to the hotel to change her clothes and then leave for the university.
***************************************
Mr. White took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief as he saw the group entering the campus before Rakhi reached there. He rushed them all in and gave them background details on why the meeting was being held.
"Geet Handa, she is a highly respected person all around the world and everyone knows not to mess with her while talking about business. She is tough to convince and thus you all need to be at your best behavior. She will be here in few minutes to discuss about the new wing that we are opening in the south side of the campus." Mr. White said.
Maan: "Sir, is there are personal like, dislike you know about her that might help us?"
"She doesn't reveal much about her personal life to press and so not much is known. But little that is interpreted is that she is an independent woman, doesn't rely on anyone to take care of her and is sharp at words. She loves traveling and hates people who look at other people keeping rich and poor in mind. She is very rich but down to earth. She believes in tradition, which I can say by looking at her trips to religious and sacred places."
Raj: "She is a person I have to meet. Very interesting personality. It seems as if she has tons of experience in life."
Sam: "When will she be here?"
Mr. White: "In exactly 5 seconds."
Maan: "How would you know the exact time?"
A girl said from behind: "Because she is always particular about time and is never late."
They turn around and it's Geet. Mr. White goes up to her and shaking hands says, "Welcome to Oxford University. We are pleased to have you here." Motioning towards rest, he introduced them, "This is Maan, Sam, Raj, and Emily."
"Nice to meet you all. Let's proceed towards the meeting area. Shall we?" she asked Mr. White elegantly.
He nodded and left for the conference room. They all took their places while Mr. White stood and got the presentation ready. All the ideas were put in front of Geet and she made few changes to it after she was fully convinced it is for the betterment of the students. The rest of them also gave their opinions and the meeting went on. Few times in between, Maan would get lost looking at Geet's gestures and beauty. Same was the situation of Raj. Sam and Emily both pinched Raj and Maan each to get them back on earth.
Raj whispered to Maan: "She looks so young! How old do you think she is?"
Maan: "Don't know. She must be older since she is a highly respected person and has tons of experience."
Geet: "Mr. Raj, you do not need to know my age, but since you are this interested, let me tell you. I will be 21 soon. Now, if you don't mind, can we get back to the plans?" she replied normally.
On the other side, all four of them were surprised she had heard them and knew what they were talking about. They were more surprised to know that she was not even 21. They were thinking 'She is not even 21.'Our same age but she is known all around the world for her work! For a normal girl, she should be enjoying and just completing college, but here she was. Handling such a huge business with such ease as if it was a doll game was a thing to wander about.
