Recap: Goutham and Mithra have an intimate time and later he inform lawyer to confirm on the legals papers to take over his dad's business.

************************

Goutham was getting ready in their room in a tux and Mithra was sitting on the couch doing a final check on the presentation. Making sure of everything she made call to Rehman to make sure he carried the necessary documents on MiGo and its success in the industry, which they had prepared. She was dressed in the formal pant and white shirt, her hair was tied in a pony tail. Goutham saw her packing her laptop and picked her blazer from her wardrobe and helped her wear it quickly.

Mithra: Do we have time for breakfast or shall we skip to have a direct lunch ?

Goutham: We enough time for the meeting so we will have breakfast and we don't exactly know the time the meeting would wind up.

Mithra: Good, I m hell of hungry and need food or I may faint. Come lets go and what time have you called the lawyer today ?

Goutham: Relax baby, he will be at dad's home in the evening but we will go early once our meeting is over. Looks like we will have our first feast together there after our marriage so a lavish dinner is organized for us to celebrate our wedding and business take over.

Mithra: How about aunty ? Is she ok with us coming over there ? Is Raghini still staying there ?

Goutham: Amma has no problem. Dad said she doesn't talk anything negative about us and has also given a list of recipes to be cooked today. Even if she speaks let us ignore and about that bitch do we need to care her presence or absence ?

Mithra: I m just curious to know her state of mind now. You are out of league and Chandru is also serious in his girl so what could be her actual plans ?

Goutham: May be we will know today because she didn't get to meet us together after our reception but looking at us together her jealousy might hit and she may do something exposing her real intention.

Mithra: Whatever, now tell me do you think we will bag this project ?

Goutham: Ofcourse we will, you worked hard for this project so you deserve it. still winning and losing is like two sides of a coin in business. If winning gives us profit and happiness then losing gives us a lesson to correct the mistake we did in losing it so either way its a plus for us.

Mithra: But I still don't understand your suggestion in the presentations.

Goutham: I m teaching you business free of cost. You will know the reason behind my ideas after the meeting and may be you can reward me later for that.

Mithra: You are my CEO and husband so I have all rights to learn business free of cost from you. Still what is the rewards you want and let me think of granting or denying it.

Goutham: A long drive with an ice cream date in our private beach ?

Mithra hugged him wrapping her hand around his neck and kissed his cheek and he snaked his hands around her waist.

Mithra: Mr. hubby you know very well to get me in your trap. How could I deny long drive, ice cream date and beach altogether at the same time when they are my weakness ?

Goutham: So they are you weakness ? I thought here I was your weakness.

Mithra: You are my strength, my power my energy booster. I will be weak only when you are not with me Goutham. So plan is on..

Goutham: Plan is on with three conditions, 

Goutham: Condition 1 - we will buy only one ice cream for both of us. he kissed her right cheek

Goutham: Condition 2 -  we will have our first bike ride. I want you to hug me close and all the way I will keep kissing your palms every now and then. He kissed her left cheek

Goutham: condition 3 - You will wear jean. I have seen you without dress too but you never wore a jean so we will wear twinning costume blue jean black shirt and coolers. He pecked her lips.

Mithra: You are so so so hot and romantic. I can't wait for the date then. I was so nervous and stressed about the meeting but now all I can think is about our date especially our bike ride.

Goutham Mv: I know you will be stressed and I have my own ways to ease your worries baby.

Goutham: You need not worry for anything when you have me. I will always be behind you protecting you.

Mithra: Yes, like a lion protecting its lioness and I m learning from you and one day I will be strong and confident to protect myself and protect you too.

She pulled back from the hug and roared like a lion showing her claws ready to pounce on him. Goutham placed his palm on his chest as if he was scared.

Goutham: Oh my lioness , I m so scared already.

They laughed hugging each other and started their way to the venue for the meeting after finishing the breakfast. Rehman had arrived earlier and waited for them. He opened the door for Mithra and together they reached the meeting room. Separate tables were arranged for each company with their name board on it who had arrived for the meeting. 

Goutham, Mithra and Rehman got seated and Goutham saw Pranav seated straight opposite to them and his eyes were on Mithra. Rehman got up from his seat and sat opposite to Mithra hiding her from Pranav. 30 minutes later the Mr. Ramanan, MD of the builders who had issued the tender entered the hall.

Ramanan: Good morning everyone, I m so happy to have you all here. I know everyone of is busy so I have come with some better options to reduce the time to some of you who are present here. We have received so many quote for the tender and it would be unfair if I let everyone of you spend your time giving the presentation and later at the end only one gets this project. So I have shortlisted the top 5 companies who had quoted the least amount and only they will give their presentation and eventually one of them will get this project.

Suddenly there was commotion as there was change in the plan but Goutham and Pranav had a calm demeanor and waited for Mr. Ramanan to announce the selected companies. Ramanan got the envelops from his PA and announced the companies who had secured the third, fourth and fifth place based on the amount they had quoted and looked at everyone with a shocked face.

Ramanan: PV Groups has quoted an amount of Rs 5 crore, nine hundred and ninety nine.

Mithra was shocked and she moved to the edge of her seat holding Goutham's hand on the table.

Mithra: Wasn't this just one rupee less than what we quoted ? How could this happen ?

Rehman: Obviously someone tapped our data. 

Mithra: What will happen now ? We spent so much time to arrive at this amount then how could we lose ?

Goutham: Results are not yet announced Mithra just relax and calm down. Remember what I said at home ?

Mithra nodded her head and leaned back in her seat cursing the someone who had stabbed on their back but again concentrated on Mr. Ramanan who got the next envelope from his PA.

Ramanan: This quote is from MiGo and theirs was the first quote we received for this project and they have quoted five crore and nine hundred. 

Mithra closed her mouth in surprise as well shock hearing the amount read by Ramanan and she looked Goutham who cocked his eyebrows.

Mithra: How ?

Goutham: We will discuss this at home and now its your part to rock. Keep your presentation ready.

Pranav looked at Tara and Karan who were gulping at his deadly stare gritting his teeth.

Ramanan: I here by congratulate the top 5 and only they will give their presentation today. I thank the rest of you for your time and expect to work together in future. Thank You. 

Ramanan got seated and the MC called the companies one by one to give their presentation in the order of the quoted amount. Surprisingly the designs were good and when Pranav was called he informed Tara to give the presentation and Mithra was ready to give hers.

As soon as Tara started her work and displayed her designs Mithra gasped and stood in anger as all those were the same designs she had prepared with her team. Each and every design were the hardwork and creativity of her team and she couldn't watch someone presenting it as theirs. Everyone including Ramanan saw Mithra staring at the screen in shock and the anger was evident in her face. Goutham held Mithra's wrist and pulled her to sit and caressed her back to calm her down.

Mithra walked out of the hall and Goutham informed Rehman to handle their absence and rushed out following Mithra.
