Aviram :

"THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.", I whispered looking at the papers of Legal Termination.
"It has happened, Sir. Mehtas have terminated our deal permanently.", My assistant said, distraught.
"How can they?! We have been on this deal for decades now!", I snapped sitting up.

"Sir... I-I don't know..", My assistant stammered, sighing.
"And what about the Khurana deal?"
"Cancelled.", She said.

I looked up at her, taken aback.
"You are-"
"Yes, sir. I called you up so urgently to tell you something is really off. All our clients have started cancelling the deals and this.. this is really not good.", She spelled it out to me.

She placed it on my desk and left.

I picked up the magazine and opened his column.

Akhilesh Vohra : son of late Mithilesh Vohra has finally taken over his father's billion dollars empire.

I read through his so called biography regarding his foreign education, dead parents and estranged family.

Wow. Very similar, aren't we?

Until I read the last line.

"He is re-staring his business in Jodhpur with Mehta and Khurana groups."

I immediately snapped out.
