"Also I found out that she loves cappuccino. So I bought it for her."
Raising his hand which had a cup of cappuccino he said.
"I really hope she gets impressed by me and gives me the highest mark."

"I don't think she's gonna give you marks based on this coffee."

"I know but at least I can be in her good book."
Just then the elevator reached their floor.

"We have been talking for a while but never got to know your name. As we are fellow interns, we should get to know each other."
Getting down from the elevator, Ciam forwarded his hand with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Ciam Baig. And you?"

"I'm-"

"Good Morning, Dr. Ayana."
A nurse who was passing by stopped to greet Ayana.

"Morning."
Ayana greeted back as the nurse went to do her work.

"D-Dr. A-ay-ayana?"
Ciam's eyes widened.

"Sorry for the late introduction."
Ayana said in a formal tone.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Ayana Malik from the pediatric department."

"Ma'am, I-I'm so-sorry. I didn't know. You look so young so I thought you were an intern. I'm sorry."
Ciam shuttered, looking down.

"It's alright."
Eyeing the coffee, she said,
"That coffee is for me, right?"

"Y-yes, Ma'am."
Bowing, Ciam forwarded the coffee to Ayana.

"Thanks for it."
Taking the coffee, Ayana was about to walk away but then stopped before looking back.
"If you want to get good marks, then instead of gathering information about me, study hard. Because at the end of the day, I'll give marks based on your skills."
Saying she walked away leaving a flustered Ciam back.

"Sir, I'm sorry. My greed got the better of me."
A man begged Imraan who was sitting on a chair in a godown. Beside him, his secretary, Adil was standing with a bunch of sheets in his hand. 
"After seeing that much money, I couldn't restrain myself and disclose-"

"Shush!"
Keeping a finger on his mouth, Imraan stopped him. The man in front of him, begging, was one of his workers who for a mere bundle of money was about to give the new project's information to his rival company. Thankfully just when the information was about to be exchanged, Adil caught him red-handed. 

"You want me to give you another chance?"
Lazily looking at the man's terror face, Imraan asked.

"Yes."
The man nodded aggressively.
"Give me another chance to redeem myself."

"Adil!"

"Yes, Sir?"
Adil looked at Imraan.

"For how long has he been working for us?"

"For almost 7 years."

"7 years! I see. "
Imraan nodded before looking back at the man.
"Fine! As you worked with us for such a long time, I'll reconsider. I'll give you another chance, but…"
The man smiled gratefully.
"…but before that, you need to do something for me."

"I'll do anything for you."
Breathing heavily, the man said.

"Don't worry. It's nothing dangerous. You just need to answer a couple of my questions."
Imraan said with a devilish smile before bending towards that man.
"To me, what do you think is the most beautiful word?"

The man thought for a while. He heard Imraan saying it during the conference meeting. But what was it?

"Faith?"
A couple of seconds later he answered.
