Dev's POV:

(In the hotel room on a video call)

Pragathi... When is our new designer coming in???

I need to meet our new designer.

You know by next week designs should hit the production... that's the only way
Gaya's Fashion week can be executed next month.

If not then I'll have to cancel the event which means returning back the money we took from sponsors!!!

We can afford it!!! But it's a shame to Gaya's!!!

And it means our rival 'Hrishi's' and Vidisha's plans that Gaya's gets a big hit without her comes true!!!

Now that's something my ego can't tolerate!!!

Although I loved your new designer's work....Please understand punctuality is more important to me !!!

No designer is bigger than the fashion house😏!!!

I need the best Pragathi!!! Where the heck is your new hire!!!'

I yelled!!!😠

Pragati replied me on the call saying the designer will be joining us by tomorrow...

And that she is joining us in on the video call anytime soon.

Soon I saw a lady joining our video call and I was shocked to see ...

It was none other than!!!

Ishaani...😳🤨

I couldn't believe it was her...

I saw a shocking expression on her face too. But she maintained her poise!!!

I as well tried to keep PATIENCE!!!

Pragathi introduced us formally...

'D.K this is Miss Ishaani Sharma, you loved her designs...she is the winner of young awards this year for the youngest achiever for designing and hand knitting patterns...

And Miss Ishaani... this is our boss D.K. who would finalize if he will hire you.'

Although we were on the video call I kept analysing all her expressions!!!

There was silence.

She quickly replied...
'Miss Pragati... I would want to opt out of this offer'

I was shocked...

Why did she do that.

'May I know the reason?' I cut her in between...

She promptly replied...
'I don't mix personal and professional relationships...

My sister would be marrying Mr Dhruv Kapoor soon. I was told Mr Dhruv Kapoor and Miss Pragati deals with the designers directly here!!!

I don't want my hardwork to be categorised as favours!!!'

I was shocked!!!🙄

I didn't know why but for the first time in few days...I found her sensible!

I hate to say this...

But...

I was impressed!!!🙃

Before she could speak anything further I said...

'Well Miss Sharma,

What if we assure you that we will treat you nothing more than an employee and you will not report to Mr Dhruv Kapoor...

And work directly under me?

She was shocked!!!😳

Although on video call I saw...
Her pitch black eyes grow bigger!!!

Cute🙂

She didn't reply anything for next few minutes.

'I have a few conditions while I work on my designs!!! Although my boss would decide my final designs and approve them...

I require complete privacy while I design them!!!

With no questions!!!'

She was honest and clear!!!

I respect honesty...

'Done!!! Pragati please discuss the salary and profit shares with her!!!

See you tomorrow in our Bangalore office Ms Sharma'

I said and disconnected the call!!!

Ishaani's POV:

Shit!!!

Shit!!!

Why am I behaving like this!!!

It's every designer's dream to be working with Kapoor's.

Gaya's is one of the biggest designer house in India. They are the best!!!

And I rejected their offer only because Dhruv was going to soon become my jiju!!! (Jiju means brother in law).

I didn't want my hardwork to be only named as favours!!!

Im happy with what little name I made for myself in last 3 years!!!

But then who knew DK was Dev!!!

Shit!!! I was awestruck seeing him on call!!!

Thank god he was civil today...

And handsome too☺️

Shutup!!! Where did that come from 😒🤬

He's the Devil!!!

And he's hired you!!!

Shit!!! Working as Devil's designer 😰😟

Relax ....Ishu 🙄..you have kept your stance before him and he's agreed!!!

Everything is good!!!🤕

Your career will get a boost!!! Gaya's is the best!!!

You can't reject the offer for just one man!!!

And come on, he looks pretty professional!!!

Just Shutup and relax!!!

Tomorrow early morning you start to Bangalore post tonight's party that the Devil ...I mean Dev.... Dev!!!

Practice it!!! Dev not Devil 🙄!!!

Dev.......announced in honour of Ahana Di- Dhruv jiju's Roka and media announcement!!!

***

Dev's POV:

(Sipping his drink at Black sphere Pub)

Finally the media interaction is completed.

Dhruv looks extremely happy with Ahaana. And Ahana also seems like a sorted woman.

Ahhhh.... I need to relax after a long day...

Finally we have a new designer ...

Although it's this crazy woman but seems like she's talented.... I have seen her designs... Hopefully she's as professional as she was on the call today.

'Heyyy DK' I heard a squealing voice...

Next minute I saw a woman pulling me into hug ...

It was Sheena... I guess I'm meeting her after a really long time...

'Hi baby.. how are you...you didn't call me after long.... How have you been... I missed you'

She was literally clinging on my shirt.

I was having a headache due to the continuous meetings I had today...

I somehow wasn't in the right mood.. buy she started literally hovering upon me...

I was getting irritated... also this was a more a family function and I didn't want Sheena create a scene here...

My Daadi and Ahaana's family was also present here... Although my life is no one's business but it was Dhruv-Ahama's big day....I didn't want a fuck up!!!

'I need a drink Sheena ...give me sometime...' saying I escaped!

I went to the bartender....

'A scotch on the rocks please...
Make it hard!!! '

(Just then he noticed her sitting in a corner with a bunch of girls sitting and chatting with her friends...)

Omg....

Is that her ???😳

In a strapless blue dress???
Damn she's smoking hot 🔥

And with that 1000 watts smile she was giving she looked gorgeous...

Extremely attractive!!!

Although I hate it when the wicked witch opens her mouth but today she was looking like an angel!!!

Ishaani's POV:

Although when I heard Devil...ummm.... Dev....

Dev!!! Practice!!!

Dev!!!

Organised a party in a pub...I thought what a ln idiot!!! Our families would feel uncomfortable!

But when we came here...

Im happy it's so well organised...

The pub space was divided into sections...

This section is a much calmer section...with tables and sofas for families to relax...

The minute my Daadi saw the section, she took a corner sofa with Saudamini Dadi and I see them chit chatting for the longest...🙂 They were always having secretive talks since they met 🤣 they are so cute❤️❤️❤️

Suddenly i saw Saudamini Daadi pass a warm smile at me ❤️

I smiled back...

'Enjoying the party???'

I heard a deep voice...

I turned around to see a man with navy blue formal shirt... Cufflinks folded and carrying a blazer on his shoulder... With a glass of scotch in his hand.

With Brown orbs!!! Shiny brownish devil-Orbs❤️🔥🔥🔥

Yes... It was none other than my new boss...

I nodded...

'Is the seat taken? Im sitting alone...can I join in?' he asked...

I didn't know what to say...

Next minute I was pulled into a tight hug...

When it took me time to analyse it was my friend Jo...

Jothilingam ....in short Jo!!!

He started talking to me by taking the seat next to us....

I looked up to Dev....he was looking at me intensely...

I didn't know what to reply...

Next minute I noticed a girl with skinny clothes, loads of make up.... hug him...

'Babyyy what are you doing here... Forgot our last encounter.... come lets go back to the same hotel'

My eyes almost popped out!!!😳

Well I had read a lot about DK's girlfriend's list but it's only today I knew this Dev is DK.

He tried to get rid of her but she was sticking her body into him...

'Welll.... He was giving me lecture about class yesterday 😒 that's his standard....woooow😋

I couldn't control laughing...🤣

That's when Jo asked me for a dance...

'Huhhh???' I asked...

Jo pulled me into a dance with him... while I couldn't even reply to Dev...

I didn't know what he thought about me...

The pub played loud

Ankh surme naa' laddi hoi naar di🎵🎶
Khinch khinch ke nishane sidhe maardi🎶🎶

Meri thori bohti daaru aaj lagi sohnea🤕🎵
Thori bohti daaru aaj lagi sohnea🎶🎵
Tahiyon gora mukh hoya ang yaar warga🎶🎶

Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda🎶🎵
Vayi mera nakhra jo tikhi talvar warga🎶🎵

Suddenly I noticed Dev also joined us with that girl....

Although they danced next to us...they were doing close dancing...

I could see Dev sticking into her...

🤨😏 Sick!!!

I thought while Jo playfully made me twirl...

But looks like I slipped off my pointed heel and fell on Dev...

Dev lost balance....
It's like he slipped too at my weight...

And bam!!!

What happened next was shocking🙈

I fell down...

Dev fell upon me with full force...

And his lips directly landed on mine 😳
