Abhi left to his office, he didn't have a shoot that day so decided to go to his office. Though he planned to stay at home, he then thought it's been a long time since he went to his office, so he decided to pay a visit there. 

He had so many things to deal with at his office. He was busy with shooting and not only him, but also  Kunal who shares his work was also busy shooting.

His Office is in an area which is in the center of the New Mumbai City. It is a four storey building and Abhi's office is on the second floor while the 1 st floor is Kunal's office. The third floor is a place where one could take rest , it has so many rooms and a gym and other stuff and things in it.

The second floor elevator opens into a reception area where a modernized wooden desk is present and behind that sat a young lady who looked like she was in her early twenties with a young man sitting  beside her.

When Abhi entered into the Reception area both of them stood up, bowed their heads and greeted him 'good morning'.
He nodded his head in reply and entered his office room.

The room was big with beautiful interior designing. At the far end of the room was a beautiful white porcelain vase and a has a bunch of fresh tulips in it.

One side of the room has floor length windows and they open to the beautiful lawn outside his office. The walls are painted in white and the wall behind the table was painted in grey colour and it has a picture of Abhi when he was receiving the best actor award for the first time.

He looked so young back then. All the windows in the room has silver coloured curtains tied on either side of them and the allowed sun light into the room.

Abhi sat on the awesome eye catching leather chair which is behind the glass table. There was a  white leather couch on one side and two white stylish chairs on either side with a small glass table in front of the couch.  The other end of the room has two to three doors.

     Abhi put his bag beside him and the table has so many files over it. Abhi sat in his chair going through the files. When he started working again, he thought of something and called on his intercom.

Soon Uday came into the room and sat casually on the couch. Abhi asked "why isn't he here yet ?". Abhi opened his laptop and started working on his laptop.

Uday shook his head and said  "I think you shouldn't do this kind of stuff here afterall Shriya might come here any time and not only that this is our address for only discussing story lines and other real Estate issues," he then leaned forward interviewed his fingers with each other and he continued looking towards the floor "Believe me you don't have to do this anymore and we will take care of it."

Abhi looked at Uday and said in a calm expression "Why should we stop doing this, it's not something illegal or what?".

Just then they heard a knock on the door and a person entered through those doors. He was a one fair and a lean guy who is in his early thirties. 

He looked more like an English man than Indian. Uday and Abhi continued their talk without looking up to him. The man strode towards Abhi and bowed "good morning boss". He also greeted Uday and Uday nodded in reply to him.

Abhi asked without looking up from his laptop "Why were you late John ?".

"I am sorry boss. I went to that office". The man named John again bowed his head and stood next to him.

Uday was concerned about Abhi's popularity and he continued "But you can't be reckless, we don't want others to know about your role in the business. You don't have to involve in it directly."

Abhi nodded his head and didn't say anything, seeing this Uday understood that he shouldn't continue more. He thought he will convince him again later.

Abhi asked casually without looking up "So why Manu was so tired and I heard she wasn't attending college either nowadays".

Uday leaned back on the couch casually "since when did you start gossiping ?"

Abhi gave an annoyed look and Uday smiled viciously "Don't tell me that the cold hearted prince is now interested in my personal life."

Abhi didn't reply and continued with his work. Uday gave up and said "As you know I was on leave for the last two days and I made up for all the days as living as a monk, when I was busy searching for that ba$#@d, I didn't even get to go home for a few days".

Abhi smiled a little and he continued "So did you find him ?"

Uday nodded his head with a proud expression on his face and said "when did I miss a target?".

Abhi nodded again and after a few minutes he looked as if he wanted to discuss something with Uday. Uday was working on his laptop too and was busy noting down something on a piece of paper. John went to his cabin which was just opposite to the reception table.  

Abhi put down his pen from his hands and said looking at Uday,  "Gouthami is coming to Mumbai and she will be here tomorrow night."

Uday widened his eyes to hear it "what... I mean why?"

Abhi hummed to him said "I think you are so full of yourself that you didn't get to observe the face of Rahul this morning".

Uday thought for a moment, and Abhi continued "I dont want her to stay at our place because Shri might feel uncomfortable and tobe frank I am a bit worried about her rude behavior."

Uday listened to his friend and Abhi continued "So I thought it would be better if  Rahul and Gouthami stay at our apartment, that way they can also have some privacy and can solve their issues on their own".

Uday nodded his head and just then they heard a knock on the door and Naveen entered the room wearing his usual black suit.

He greeted both of them and sat on the chair opposite to Uday. Abhi also came and sat next to Uday on the couch.
"Boss you asked me to come here", Naveen looked a little tired but he looked as handsome as ever.

"I heard that you are also in love, well congratulations for that,  but your love story is bothering my women so much, so., " Abhi straight away came to to the point.

Uday who was silent all the while, after hearing what Abhi asked with excitement and in a teasing tone   "What ? you are also in love. Who is that lucky girl man ?"

Naveen was silent as if he was thinking something and Uday asked with doubt  "wait ... why is it bothering Shriya?"

Abhi said "because she is Shri's friend, so she is bothered about her friend". Uday said "Ohhhh" in realisation and all three of them are silent for a while. 

Uday is trying to understand the love story, Naveen trying to analyze the situation and thinking about what to do next and what to say, he didn't expect his boss to worry about his personal matters, let alone  love story, not even in his wildest dreams.

Uday said after a while "Congrats bro. Now Abhi didn't have to worry about Shri anymore as you will be there with her all the time because of your girl. "

Naveen said with a guilty face  "no Uday, it's because of these feelings, I left my work two times once in restaurant when that ba$#@rd Vishnu messed with madam and the next at the college entrance a stupid kid bullied madam".

Uday said "oooooo", he looked concerned  and said "forget about that. what happened is happened afterall nothing serious happened in those two incidents."

Naveen looked at Abhi and Uday also followed his gaze but Abhi is busy checking his mails on his phone. He didn't say anything to Naveen which means he excused him for his previous mistakes.

Uday continued seeing this  "Do what ever you want to do. Don't loose your personal life because of work. Maintain both of them and try to  balance them."

Naveen nodded his head after seeing Abhi's indifferent face that he isn't against in this and  infact supporting Uday's words, as he didn't counter Uday's words and he left the room with a relieved face.  Uday laughed and said "Ohh we have one more couple here".
Abhi also smiled hearing this.
