The official contract signing ceremony with Silicon Jewellery was to be held at 9am and would be broadcasted live as well as officially announced to the public. It seemed, regarding the war between Pratiksha and Payal, Silicon Jewellery had chosen Pratiksha's side.
3 years had passed since Pratiksha last attended an event like this - she had almost forgotten how it felt. But, as soon as she put on her creamy white low-back dress and the jewelry that Silicon Jewellery had sponsored her, she was once again glowing with confidence.
Sudiksha left the house nice and early to drive over to Suntower Residency. As she was Pratiksha's assistant, Moksh had given her special permission to enter their villa as she pleased. She had originally prepared a dress for Pratiksha...but when she entered the huge walk-in wardrobe Moksh had given to Pratiksha, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"He is indeed the president of Khurana Entertainment , generous with good taste!" Sudiksha praised.
At that exact time, Moksh came out from his own wardrobe. As soon as he saw Pratiksha he turned to Sudiksha, "I have something I need to say to Pratiksha."
"OK, I'll step out for a bit." Sudiksha turned around understandingly and closed the door as she left.
Pratiksha stood in front of the mirror smiling sweetly at Moksh; fresh and elegant like a blooming lily. It was hard for one not to turn all their attention to her.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Moksh didn't say a word, instead, he took big steps towards Pratiksha and hugged her from behind. He then turned her neck so he could cover her mouth with his, "I want to kiss you and even more...I want to adore you."
"I'm going to be late." Pratiksha also didn't want to part with Moksh's lips.
"I will watch the live broadcast..."
Pratiksha nodded her head with satisfaction. She hooked her arm onto Moksh's as they walked out of the villa together. Trutfully, anyone looking at the couple would believe they were a perfect match. Pratiksha was like white snow emanating a sense of pureness, whereas Moksh was alluring like a dangerous dark night.
Sudiksha was captivated by the sight of the couple, this is how a married couple should look like...unlike Vikrant the jerk, who would not be so pleasing to the eye.
A little while later, Pratiksha boarded the car with Sudiksha's assistance. On the way, Sudiksha spoke while driving, "The contract signing will be at 9am, we should arrive at 8:50am - just right."
"Your arrangements have always been on point." Pratiksha looked down and swiped her phone.
"The plane will be at 3pm and Payal has arranged for anti-fans to stop you at the airport. Among her fans, they have discussed a plan to make you look bad. One of them will find the chance to embarrass you and others will pretend to be passersby aiming to skew the judgment of onlookers."
Sudiksha screwed up her nose in disgust, this was something primary school kids did and unfortunately, childish acts like this always seemed to hurt others the most.
"All this information, how did you find out about it?" Pratiksha was quite surprised.
"Because I have my assistant hiding amongst them..." Sudiksha hummed proudly, "We'll just let these kids be happy for a bit...after the video is released, we'll see whose face gets slapped harder..."
Pratiksha laughed as she shook her head. Payal certainly had the ability to gather anti-fans. In comparison, her number of active fans looked pitiful. However, there were still a few that were looking forward to her appearance at the airport.
8:50am, right on time, Pratiksha arrived at the hotel where the contract signing was to take place and walked down the red carpet in front of the reporters.
Sudiksha had selected to arrive at 8:50am because any earlier, Pratiksha would have devalued herself. At the same time, she had to make sure they wouldn't be late, so Sudiksha timed everything perfectly.
"Pratiksha, after your public apology, you disappeared. When you appeared again, you took Payal's contract, was this all part of your plan?"
"Payal released photos of her working hard to stand up again this morning, is she accusing you of stealing her deal?"
"Pratiksha, are you planning to make a comeback?"
Pratiksha smiled the entire time without responding to any of the reporters' questions. After entering the hotel, she listened carefully to Silicon Jewellery's arrangements and cooperated accordingly.
On the other hand, Vikrant, who was originally meant to attend the signing, couldn't attend because he was busy, so Pratiksha was accompanied by her assistant instead. This gave the public the impression that Pratiksha and Rastogi Entertainment were on bad terms. However, Vikrant was indeed busy - busy being held back by Payal. There was no way she would allow Vikrant to attend the signing and support Pratiksha.
Khurana Entertainment
Moksh was sitting in his office watching the live broadcast. On screen, Pratiksha didn't appear demanding; she was quiet and beautiful but was hard to ignore. As the contract signing reached its end, Moksh phoned his assistant through the intercom, "This afternoon, send 4 bodyguards to protect Pratiksha all the way until she boards the plane."
"Yes, president..."
Moksh knew, regarding this spokesperson deal, on the surface everything seemed to be smooth sailing, but in actual fact, there were rough seas ahead.
After the contract signing, Pratiksha and Silicon Jewellery's founder sat down for lunch together. 1pm, Pratiksha left the hotel to head directly for the airport...the closer they got to their destination, the more nervous Sudiksha became, "Pratiksha, I will try my best to protect you, you also have to protect yourself."
"Sudiksha, do you think I haven't prepared myself?" Pratiksha smiled as usual. Right now, everything was within their control, what was there to fear? 3 years ago, she already experienced everything.
Not long after, Sudiksha got out of the car first. After taking the luggage out, she assisted Pratiksha out as well. At first, no one noticed the two of them. However, as soon as they stepped into the airport, a bunch of fans ran over with flowers to greet them. The flowers were shoved into Pratiksha's hands, but before she could grab hold of them, the flowers and other gifts fell to the floor.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Wearing sunglasses and face masks, her fans were disappointed upon seeing their gifts being mistreated, "Pratiksha, what is the meaning of this? We gave you flowers because we like you, how could you throw it on the floor? Even famous celebrities wouldn't dare treat their fans like this, let alone someone like you who isn't famous yet!"
Pratiksha knew these guys were here to cause trouble, so she immediately apologized, "Sorry, I didn't get a grip yet. It wasn't on purpose!"
"As if it wasn't on purpose, it was obvious that was your intention!"
"I saw it too! You threw it away deliberately."
The anti-fans were sparking up speculation amongst passersby as they started to speak up, "Just on your personality alone, how can you compare to Payal? Payal always greets her fans with a friendly smile, offering to take photos with them. Did you think, just by signing one contract, you would be able to replace her?"
More and more people crowded around and the number of curious people increased. In an instant, Pratiksha had roughly over a hundred people surrounding her.
Because of the increasing number of people, the anti-fans decided to initiate the second step of their plan. Gathering the crowd closer, they started to push and shove Pratiksha around, "Why do you think Payal has stayed famous for 3 years while you became old news. I've realized now, it must be because you have a bad personality. Look how nice Payal is in comparison."
"Give the contract back to Payal!"
"I agree...originally, I quite liked you, but you actually went ahead and threw the flowers your fans gave you onto the floor. You can't compare to Payal even a tiny bit. You don't deserve to take Payal's contract. What schemes did you use? Tell us..."
