Always You

(10)I'm Sorry But What?

"No way am I going on camera. Are you crazy?" I stood up immediately. As soon as Caira informed me that I had to go on camera, I immediately asked for an emergency meeting. Aman had been called as well and the phone was set to speaker. 

"Mira, calm down. I am sure there is a misunderstanding. Right, Vivaan?" Aman asked. 

"Aman we are so sorry to disturb you. We know that you are handling some serious financial issues right now but your wife is being a child."

"What did you just say?" I asked. 

"It is going to be just for five minutes Mira. They probably won't ask you anything. All you have to do is sit quietly till the conference goes on. It won't be on T.V. as Caira said, it is just a live Youtube conference. She misunderstood."

"Oh," I said. How could they expect me to go on camera? Although this sounded like a better alternative. Aman still couldn't come back and I was only on here.

"It will be good for our company, Mira" Aman added. 

"So, you will do it?" 

"I guess I will," I said. The other producers, Tony and Fred sighed in relief. 

"That's great," Aman said happily. 

"It is," Vivaan replied. "By the way, congratulations to you both. You must be ecstatic. Your travel agency is now a tourism forte and your wife will be working in one of the biggest fashion houses in the world."

"I'm sorry what?" Aman asked. "Mira, what is he saying?" 

"Nothing, Aman" I replied. How did Vivaan know about Prada? "Nothing is finalized yet," I said turning to Vivaan. 

He just smiled. Aman said his goodbyes and the call was disconnected. Tony and Fred both congratulated me while Vivaan looked at us smilingly. 

"How did you know about this?" I asked him as soon as they left. 

He just smiled. "Now don't say that I don't know anything about you."

"Vivaan, tell me."

"No." 

"What?"

"N and O. NO."

"I heard you the first time," I said. I was so irritated.

"Then don't ask again," he replied. "Now who is watching the baby since it's so late?"

"She's with my mom for the night," I said. 

"That's great. Then come and eat."

"I can't, I need to leave" I said. 

"Listen Mira," he began. "You have been working all day and then rushed over here. Although unnecessarily. Now, I made Caira order some food and we have some really good wine here. Relax and eat. You have a lot on your mind."

I thought about it. It was nine thirty. "Well, I do have some files for you to go over," I replied. 

"Great, we will deal with them after dinner. Now will you just sit?"

I sat down. He called in Caira and Tony and she got wine and glasses for everyone. I really liked that about his team. Everyone was so chilled. Most of them were unmarried and far away from families so they treated each other as family. 

"Caira here began working with me when I had only 100 subscribers on my Youtube channel. She edited the videos and managed my social media."

"Seriously?" I asked. "That is amazing. You all have started from scratch."
