"Oh finally, Mira! Fifteen minutes before 7 PM." Nikki passed the drinks menu to Ruhi. It took Ruhi a week to make them stop calling her Amber because Mirambika was a mouthful. The guys still called her Ruhi because she accidentally told them, but no one really recognized who she was and that’s all she cared about."Did you know that the Beacon Enterprises has finally opened for outsourcing their consultation services?" Ava said as Ruhi's drink arrived."What? No! I mean, that's awesome," Ruhi replied in a panic. That was one of Rafael's companies she deliberately avoided applying for jobs at."Yup. We will try our luck from tomorrow before some other company swoops the deal. And can you imagine how awesome it would be to bag such a big client?""I guess..." Ruhi prayed that she never has to go to talk to their boss about her company's consulting services. Rafael would make her go through a lot of torment and humiliation before making the offer.&nbs

"Good morning, Mira. Take a seat. I want to discuss a couple of things with you," Mia, Ruhi's boss, said to her while motioning to a chair."Well, first of all, you are still in your first month at this company. Ideally, you aren't allowed to take any days off at all in the first six months. You already took three days off when your husband was in the hospital, and you asked for another day off today. I can't grant you so many leaves. Is that clear?""Yes." Ruhi nodded blankly, waiting for what was next."Moving on, it's your good day today because I'm going to send you to the Beacon Enterprises so that the other three girls realize what a mistake they made by skipping work today."Ruhi read between the lines, 'Even though you are too new and don't deserve this golden opportunity, you just got lucky because your slacker friends stayed home.'Mia continued, "Their company's PR tweeted about outsourcing at 6.30 PM yesterday, and all our competitors h

"What a surprise! You didn't drive today?"Ruhi asked Rafael as his driver pulled by the main entrance in a Porsche Cayenne and stepped out. "Yeah, I couldn't... too many emails to take care of," Rafael said, opening the door for her to get in."Take us to the closest Indian-Chinese restaurant, with quick service."He told the driver and wrapped his arm around Ruhi, apologizing to her and promising to take her to the best one the next time. She didn't expect him to even agree because Lisa and others couldn't handle the spice and never showed any interest in going back. Warmth surged through her body when she realized how affectionate his voice and touch were. They reached their destination in fifteen minutes and entered a rather chaotic sounding dining area. The place was packed with families and a noisy kitchen."Smells soo good!" Ruhi licked her lips in excitement and took his hand in hers to lead

Walking back into the house, Ruhi took Rafael's office bag lying in the living room and threw it out the main doorway.With all the maids and cooks gone, she plopped down on the couch and cried, feeling angry that she wasn't allowed to fight with Alisha. She thought Rafael was probably apologizing to Alisha and making amends by taking her into his arms and kissing her, explaining how this whole thing with her was a mistake. Caught between the urge to see what was going on between the two and the need to disappear from the house as quickly as possible, she went upstairs and started packing her bags."Woah!" Rafael climbed over the mess she created near her bedroom door by throwing random things towards the hallway, blocking him from coming inside."Back so soon, you asshole?!" She threw the little bed lamp at him.Frustrated that he caught it and his head was still intact, she threw more things at him."Headphones? Laptop char

As Rafael and his friends rushed his dad to the hospital, Alisha's tensed up face relaxed visibly, and she let out a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat off her brow and pushed her hot date's hand from the small of her back. "Matt, something has come up at work. I have to leave right away." She pretended to check her email with an anxious look. "I can drop you at your office," Matt offered. "No, that won't be necessary. My driver is already on his way." "All right," he said and kissed her on the cheek before leaving the room along with the two dozen other guests who were talking chaotically while dispersing. She scrolled through her phone to find Rafael's driver's phone number in her contacts. "I need to borrow one of Rafael's cars. My ride bailed out on me, and I can't wait for my driver to arrive. I'm in a rush." She told his driver. "But---" "Do it! It's not like I'll be taking his car for the fir
