Part - 13

Vineet and Ruhana reach their destination - Hotel Lustrio Inn!

Ruhana thanks the cab driver and heads inside, she doesn't want to be late in the meeting. She had already faced so many problems since the time she stepped in the city, it feels she enters to get only problems here and then the guy she's colliding with at every point.

Okay, she doesn't have any hard feelings for him. Well she doesn't have any reason to have any such feelings but the way he's everywhere is making her a little unsure about him. Like, who helps people without any benefit that too in this 21st century where people are greedy.

Ruhana brushes off her thoughts and rushes inside. She asked the reception about the meeting and got to know that the meeting is organized in the conference hall which is on the 18th floor. Ruhana thanked the lady at reception and rushed to the elevator. Ruhana pressed the elevator which stops for her, she gets inside and along with her enters a few more people and Vineet, he gently smiles at her and she reciprocates.

They waited till they reached their floor. Ruhana and Vineet leave the elevator and head to the conference hall together. Ruhana glances at him in between thinking why is she accompanying her. Is he following her? Or does he have some work on the same floor?

Ruhana was confused and doubtful but chose to be quiet, she doesn't want to prejudge him. What if her doubt is just her misconception? It will create another problem for her and she doesn't want it.

Ruhana brushed off her thoughts and entered the hall followed by Vineet, there were many business people already present. They smile at them, Ruhana and Vineet reciprocate and take their seats. Ruhana let out a sigh, thankfully she didn't say a word to Vineet otherwise it would have surely created a problem.

Soon, the hall was filled with business tycoons. Taking their respective seats, they discuss their current situation, the loss they may face if other companies take over the company in which they have invested. They don't want to face any type of loss.

The small crowd of business people were busy in their discussion while Vineet was silent, he didn't speak a word but was busy turning the pages of some magazine. People find him ignorant and careless about his work and loss while Ruhana thinks otherwise. She's sure that the guy has planned something, maybe he has some good plans to overcome his loss or maybe he would just ask for his money or it could be something else too. He may look relaxed and carefree just because he's prepared, the guy is really up to something.

Her thoughts and the noise breaks when a guy who seems to be in his early thirties enters the hall followed by few more well suited guys while the guy who seems to be their boss was in a pair of shirt and trousers.

Others greeted him and received the same treatment from the guy - He's a renowned business tycoon of London, Mr. Jonathan.

Before Jonathan could say a word, he was showered with thousands of questions and accusations.

''Calm down please! I'm here to discuss not to take accusations on me!" Jonathan says in a calm yet warning tone.

The hall turns silent in a moment, Jonathan smiles.

He clears his throat and proceeds to tell them the reason he's wanting to overtake the company, hearing his reason other's were left utterly shocked.

''Yes, you guys heard it right. Mr. Wilson has taken 800 million loan from my company to invest over a project which fail drastically and that cause him heart attack and he passed away. Now, in left with no choice then to overtake his company and recover my money!" Jonathan disclose the truth.

It again creates hustle and bustle while Vineet is still calm.

''Now, all that I can do for you guys is to help you sell your shares!" Jonathan added.

''Mr. Jonathan, don't you know the price of shares has decreased after Mr. Wilson's death? We will have to face a great loss!" One of the people from the crowd pointed out.

''Yes, I know that! But what I believe is something is better than nothing! See, I can't pay any of you even a penny so it's better you sell out your share and save some money than to lose it all!" Jonathan advises them.

''What about waiting for some time till the price of shares stabilized?" Ruhana suggests, Jonathan shook his head.

''I don't have any problems with it but what if the value decreases? Because Mr. Wilson has taken loans from many companies, his house and other property will be sold out soon. There is not even 5% chance that the price will increase.'' Jonathan told them.

An utter silence followed in the hall.

Vineet sits straight and gazes at Jonathan.

''Can't we still be partners? We invested with Mr. Wilson to work with him, now that you will be the new owner we can still work with you. This way, you won't have to pay us or find buyers for our shares and we won't have to face any loss! We will all be benefited!" Vineet lays his point, Jonathan stares at him for a few moments, it seems he likes the idea but is still unsure about it.

''Impressive! I need time to think by then you guys can take up the unfinished project of Mr. Wilson. We will be sending you details through mail. We have made groups for the projects, you'll be aware of your partners through the same mail. Let me think about the gentleman's idea, till then take up your respective work!" Jonathan expresses and leaves the hall.

A few business people don't like Vineet's idea while few find it good for them. Vineet let out a sigh and took his leave followed by Ruhana and a few others  who liked his idea and wanted to discuss the same.

They followed him outside but were left surprised hearing his words.
