Falak’s POV.I looked at everyone’s faces when the presentation was over. I was confident that I had done well and was expecting to hear some good responses but the moment that devil opened his mouth. His words broke my heart.“There are many errors in the report. So, this needs more work. So, fix it and present this to me tomorrow. Once I will confirm it, then we will share the final report with everyone.”, Jacob said in a harsh tone when I realized that I was waiting for their opinion, especially his; after all, he was my reporting manager.

Falak's POV."Hey Maria," I called her name when I found her engrossed in reading a magazine.
