MUMBAI

1 DAY AFTER RETURNING

FASHION AND THE CITY

10 AM

There was a lot of chaos in the entertainment industry. A day before today, a news spread like fire, that turned the whole showbiz upside down. An image was viral in social media that led to a lot of speculations. The image was of Aliya and Rishi getting intimate. Yes! This image was released from an unknown source through a local magazine, an enemy of FASHION AND THE CITY. The magazine had this image and it was represented as:

'Mr. Cold CEO caught in the act!'

'See this image carefully. Can you guess who is this lady? We too can't identify. This picture shows us Mr.Singhania carrying a lady in his arms in a hotel corridor. This can be interpreted as something like the CEO is helping a 'damsel in distress'. But what we have come to know from our sources such hot news that we claim that you will be left flabbergasted! This unidentified lady is claimed to be Aliya Sharma. The industrial psychologist of FASHION AND THE CITY. It is reported that she had no job experience before joining this No.1 magazine company! Still she secured this job. It is also reported that the CEO had ousted nearly 10 of his most experienced employees just for her to join. Also she is among the highest paid psychologists in our country. All thanks to Mr.Rishi. Currently she handled the job of Ms.Bhavna's personal assistant for a few days as Bhavna's own p.a. was out of town as said. Analyzing the whole report, we feel like Ms.Sharma has an influence on Mr.Rishi by wrong means. Some of his own employees have given us statements that they both are always together and it seems like this lady has got this job by climbing Rishi's bed. Till now we only know this much. Like this, we will be the first to update you about this case further.'

This was the disgusting report which Rishi red and shredded it through the shredder on his table while his blood was boiling in rage. Aliya was sitting in front of him with his desk in the middle in his cabin. Mr.Gera was standing besides his boss. Aliya had tears in her eyes but she wasn't sobbing. The whole company was in a stand still. Majority of the people were fuming with anger after knowing that they were cheated by their boss. Of course, a boss who gives job to ladies after receiving some 'favor' from them, is an unfair treatment to others. They were planning to revolt. The others included people who supported the company and who were making others calm, and remaining were the real culprits.

SAME DAY

12 AM

OFFICE'S BASEMENT

There were 5 people seated on 5 chairs each. Their hands and legs were tied with plastic ropes and they were blindfolded. Their mouths were stuffed with a handkerchief for each. The 5 were struggling to let themselves free and escape from these clutches. But all their efforts were wasted. Half of an hour passed since they were kidnapped or rather... caught. They were the HR manager, Editor In Chief, Personal Assistant of Rishi, Ex- Manager Mr.D'Souza and the receptionist. All from FASHION AND THE CITY. They were placed in the left out space among the parked cars. There were some personnel, bodyguards and one person commanding them to surround those 5. And that person was Anushka. There was silence except some sounds of struggle to escape from those five until they heard some sounds

*click-clack*

*click-clack*

These were the sounds of heels that gradually increased in intensity as the lady was nearing to those 5 seats. The lady signed the guards to remove the handkerchiefs from their filthy mouths. As soon as they did, Mr.D'Souza spoke in anger

"Hey! You Miss! Whoever you are, you don't know we are!"

Then one husky voice replied him mockingly.

"If I didn't know who you are, how was it possible to catch you silly?"

The 5 of them quickly recognized who this lady was. She was indeed Aliya!

The receptionist spoke in fear

"A-Aliya?"

"Oh! SO you have shifted from Aliya ma'am to Aliya. Progress uh?"

Mr.D'Souza again barked

"What are you upto? Do you wanna kill us?"

Aliya chuckled and replied

"No not at all. To kill is the simplest way. And I don't like to choose an easy option you know. But before I proceed I would like to give y'all a speech. Don't worry! Don't worry! That won't be lengthy and boring. So shall I begin?"
