51 The Show Has Just Begun

"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?"

There was pin-drop silence. No response was given to Aliya's rhetorical question. Ignoring this silence, she started to revolve around the 5 and started her 'speech'

"Good evening everyone. Have you all ever heard that famous proverb - 'It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.' Well I think you may not have heard it. If you would have taken it seriously, then you would have not landed up here, right? See, my principle is very simple - 'One 'bad' turn deserves another.' So you 5, burden on the earth, deserve much more pain than you have lend me. I know what were your intentions. And I must say it needs a lot of courage to do. Although you knew that you will ultimately die gaining nothing. Okay then! Let us deal something. I will reveal your intentions and y'all reveal what you planned. Simple? So let us start."

As she finished, her speech resulted in a wide smile on Anushka and guards being startled. They felt as if this scene was straight from movies. They felt as if this lady made them fantasized. They had seen males doing this, but they seldom see females with such devilish swag. But then their focus shifted to the P.A., Raveena

"YOU BITCH! You have yourself climbed my boss's bed to win his heart. I know what dirty things you have done. I was out for just a few days. And see what black magic you have done one Mr.Rishi. Now by kidnapping us you want us to unwillingly accept crimes which we haven't done. That.won't.happen."

As she was done with babbling, she felt a tight slap on her right cheek. Then a voice whispered in her ears.

"You are calling me a bitch? You don't even have respect for animals. But, you know what, even those dogs and bitches are way better than you.filthy.woman."

Raveena gritted her teeth. Aliya didn't wait for anyone to speak. She started

"So I will start with my dear Mr.D'Souza, ex-manager of FASHION AND THE CITY. In the start, I didn't doubt you but as I listed those name who have motives to hurt me, I had to include my name. I still remember the day you had apologized and I forgave because I saw genuineness in your eyes. But, unfortunately I was wrong. It was a mask to hide your true intentions. Now I will come to the point. You did this because of two reasons: one, to take revenge and two, to be this company's manager once again. Next is our dear receptionist, who likes to gossip a lot. I feel your motive was also the same as Rishi sir's P.A. Because you were envious, right? No no no. That must not be the reason. Because two girls can't work together if they are lusting for the same man. Am I right? Yes! So you were bribed by other two companies. And our editor in chief, as you both were in love, the couple decided to knock me down together. And our rivals, they can spoil this company's image forever and raging our employees. Hmm.... Now who is left?"

Anushka 'helped' Aliya. She pointed at HR Manager

"Oh! HR! Actually my vision is too weak to see such narrow-minded people."

HR Manager Virendra interrupted her

"Shut up your sewer-like mouth!"

"Sorry but no sorry. I can't. And why should I shut up? I have just started. So, the HR wanted to hire those female employees who were his 'favorite' like gold diggers. And the men who bribed him and who are the reason behind his bulged stomach. But I used to block his way as I knew the employees he chose were under qualified. So to remove this hurdle from his way he decided to ruin my career once and for all. He was near to success though. Good try!"

As she spoke her last words, there was another person making an entry in the room. This time they heard the sound of shoes. And the person was Rishi. Dressed in a black jacket with grey plain t-shirt underneath and a black jeans, he was looking dapper. He saw Aliya already there, dressed in bright-white sleeveless one piece with her hairs done in waves and wearing white high heels. For a moment he thought that he was with her in a date. Aliya smiled at him and Rishi siad

"Am I late?"

"Not at all. It is the perfect time. The show has just begun. Take a seat. They are about to say everything.
