Chapter : 1. Where Is He?

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I see it's time. Sorry, I have been busy dealing with some important matters. Let's go ahead then." She starts walking as her closed toed pumps keep making the rhythmic sound of tic-tac.

On reaching the meeting room, she knocks, something only top level employees are allowed to do in "Confianza Limited".

"Come in Ms. Bhattacharya." The male voice from inside utters. She immediately gets inside and walks towards the long white horizontal table.

"Apologies for making you wait Sirs." She says looking at the five men including their CEO. She takes the empty seat beside Dashis, that she knows has been purposefully left vacant for her, as the other two interviewers took their seats simply avoiding that particular chair. Nothing new, she has gotten used to with all these things by now. The unwanted special treatment and all. This is the final interview, the result of the last three interviews taken throughout the month. The final interview board has always been graced by Mr. Dashis Sharma himself. He makes sure to pick the best out of best.

As everyone gets into their work Dashis slowly turns his face towards her clearing his throat. She looks up from her laptop to find him already looking at her with his lips pursed.
"My calls are ignored, again? Am I to believe that you're deliberately doing it?" He asks.

"Never sir, when in office, I try to be extremely careful about my works and my officials. I have been truly busy, that's the reason I failed to pick up the calls. I am extremely sorry for that." She explains, looking straight into his eyes.

"Dashis, it's Dashis for you. How many times do I have to remind you Pihu?" He whispers inclining his head a little lower. To this she immediately stiffens and subtly moves her head to the side.

"I prefer to be professional. After all, work ethic is what makes me your HR manager, is it not sir? Now, may we begin with the interviews, please?" She utters, looking down at her laptop once again. Dashis's face breaks into a knowing smile.

"Don't

"Don't." A bulky man in a black uniform warns another man standing right next to him. He is wearing the same black uniform, in fact each and every security guard working for any of the countless branches of "The Nagpati Empire" wears the same uniform. These guards are originally some well trained warriors in disguise. They are lethally loyal and obedient and are trained to respect their boss's privacy. That's why when the newly appointed guard tries to peek inside the cabin of Mr. Daivik Raj Nagpati: the boss and the owner of the empire, one of the old and experienced guards warn him. Not only because of the protocol but also because he wants to save the new guy from confronting the man before he is properly trained.

Anger management has been a huge issue for Daivik. They all knew about it, who are they fooling, they have dealt with it. They have heard that his twin brother Ritwik Raj Nagpati suffers from the same problem. That's why he chose to stay far away from all these. Rumor has it that both the twin brothers grew liking towards the same woman, which led to more distance between them. This didn't surprise the guards or any of the employees, because the twins were always distant, from the very beginning.
