The investor, a man with a reputation for his big business and success had a lusty glint in his eye as he spoke. "You know, sweetheart, I can make your dreams come true. All you have to do is give me a little something in return."

Naina raised an eyebrow, her voice dripping with irony. "Oh, really? And what is it that you want in return, Mr. Sharma? My dreams are built on hard work and determination, not shortcuts."

The investor's bravado wavered, and he cleared his throat uncomfortably. "I was thinking we could have a more... personal arrangement, if you catch my drift."

Naina leaned forward, her eyes locked onto his, her tone as sharp as a blade. "Mr. Sharma, let me make something clear. My dreams are not for sale, and neither is my integrity. If you want to invest in my business, it will be a clean and professional partnership. Anything else is out of the question."

" Think again sweetheart, I can make you very big then you can imagine just nod your head, " he couldn't say further as Sejal came over there and kept coffee.

" Your cold coffee ma'am, " Sejal said to Naina giving her coffee Naina frowned at her friend.

Sejal with a biggest fake smile on her turned towards the guy who was wordly harrassing her friend gave his coffee.

"Your hot coffee sir and this for you nuisance with my friend," saying that she broke the man's nose with the coffee tray in her hand.

The man groned in pain as the customer's in cafe started to become painc before she could beat the shit out of the man naina dragged her inside.

This is them one argu with her mouth and win and the other argu with her hand and win. Both are different but perfect for eachother.

Naina couldn't help but smile at her friend for her stunt.

After sorting things out Naina came out but a man in her father's age stood infront of her.

Mr. Thakur, a man of influence and integrity, extended his hand to Naina and said, "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, Naina. Your determination and principles have left a strong impression on me. I believe in your vision, and I would like to offer you a clean and honest investment proposal for your wedding planning startup."

Naina's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude as she shook his hand. "Thank you, sir. Your belief in me means the world. I look forward to a partnership built on trust and integrity."

With that, Naina's journey took an unexpected turn, guided by the support and mentorship of a man who saw not only her potential but also her unwavering commitment to her dreams.

Prakash found something interesting in her thinking he felt that she can do it and he was glad that he can help her out.

Prakash thakur a man who never spare a glance at small business decided to give naina a opportunity people do talk bad about it thinking that naina might have done something bad to satisfy Mr. Thakur but Mr thakur saw an out come for the project and he got a daughterly feel towards naina.

And Naina who lost her parents saw Mr thakur like a father figure there relationship has built very strong.

Outside Mr. Thakur's office, Ayaan was walking towards his father's office room to Meet him and talk about advik's visit and other business stuff.

"Did you see that woman with Mr. Thakur? She's always around, trying to get his attention." This caught ayaan's attention he stopped and listened to their further talk.

"I heard she's been getting quite close to him lately. It's obvious what she's after." The other one said.

"Yeah, it's always the same story. Young women trying to get their hands on his wealth." The other one laughed.

Ayaan clenched his fists, his anger boiling over as he misunderstood the situation. He believed that the woman who ever was attempting to exploit his father for financial gain.

Inside the office, Naina and Mr. Thakur continued their discussion about the investment proposal, unaware of Ayaan's presence just outside the door.

"I truly appreciate your support, uncle. Your belief in me means everything." Naina thanks Mr thakur.

"Naina, I've always admired your determination and integrity. I have no doubt that our partnership will be a successful one. And now look after three years of experience has made me huge gains thank you lady luck"

As their conversation inside the office remained focused on business and mutual respect, Ayaan's misinterpretation of the situation fueled his anger and suspicion.

He waited, determined to confront his father and the woman who had unknowingly become the centre of his thoughts.

Naina turned and exited the office, closing the door behind her. As she stepped into the corridor, she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, that feeling quickly shifted to surprise and apprehension when she saw Ayaan standing there, his expression unreadable.

"You, Mr? What are you doing here?" Naina asked with a frown.

"That should be my question," he said with a very cold tone. He never knew that the woman who was trying to lure his father was Naina, the woman he met yesterday, because of whom he couldn't sleep last night.

"Well, I don't think you're someone I should answer to. Excuse me," Naina said, about to leave. But Ayaan caught her hand and stopped her.

"What the hell, man? Let go of my hand," Naina said, trying to break free from his strong hold.

"Stay away from my father. All women like you only depend on a man's wealth. If you want money, here, I'll give it to you. But after this, don't show your face," Ayaan glared at Naina.

"Really? Mr, why are you always so judgmental?"

" Do I even know you? Please, I have a lot of work to do. Mind your own business, and I'll mind mine," Naina gave him an annoyed look and started to walk away.

But then she stopped and said before walking away from there.

"That tongue of yours really needs some treatment."
