Pragati's Pov :

I stood in front of the small mirror in my tiny servant quarter room, adjusting the pleats of my green saree, the uniform of Hotel Emerald Palace. I tied my hair into a neat bun, my fingers moving with a precision that betrayed my nervous energy. My eyes lingered on the photo pinned to the mirror's edge, the faces smiling back at me sparking a familiar fire in my heart. I felt a surge of determination and purpose. Today was the day I would finally get close to the Raghuvanshis, the family I had been seeking for so long. Just as I was lost in thought, my phone buzzed to life in my hand. I saw Mr. Akhilesh Kumar's name flash on the screen and answered, my voice professional.

Pragati : "Sir, good morning

Pragati : "Sir, good morning. Pragati here."

His voice was crisp on the other end, a reminder that I needed to stay focused.

Akhilesh: "Pragati, good morning. I hope you're ready for the day. The Raghuvanshis will be arriving soon, and I need you to be on top of your game. Meet me in the lobby in 15 minutes. We need to go over the itinerary one more time."

I nodded, even though he couldn't see me.

Pragati(Me): "Yes, sir. I'm on my way."

I ended the call, my mind snapping back into focus. It was showtime. I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and headed out the door, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

As I stepped into the grand lobby of Hotel The Emerald Palace, her senior, Akhilesh Kumar, beckoned her over.

Akhilesh: "Pragati, congratulations on your new role as assistant manager "

He said with a warm smile.

Akhilesh: "I have some exciting news to share with you. The Raghuvanshi family, our hotel's owners, will be staying with us for a month. The third heir, Shivam Raghuvanshi, is getting married to Shanaya Malhotra, the Chief Minister's daughter. This is a high-profile event, and we need to make sure everything is perfect."

Akhilesh's eyes locked onto me.

Akhilesh: "I'm putting you in charge of organizing and managing all the wedding functions - Haldi, Sangeet, Bachelor's party, the wedding itself, and the post-marriage celebrations. You and your team will also be responsible for catering to the Raghuvanshi family's every need during their stay."

My heart raced as I processed the enormity of the task ahead. I nodded, determination etched on my face. "I'm up for the challenge, sir. Let's make this a wedding to remember."

The convoy of luxury cars pulled up to the grand entrance of Hotel Emerald Palace, and the staff sprang into action. Pragati, resplendent in her green saree, stood alongside Akhilesh Kumar, her senior, and the rest of the team. As the cars came to a halt, the doors swung open, and the Raghuvanshi family emerged, their faces a picture of elegance and refinement.
