Aman: sorry ma'am and here is the file related for merger

Nandini takes the file and reading it she glared at Aman and throws the file on table

Nandini: what the hell is wrong with everyone today? One mess up whole budget file I don't know for what reason and you come up with this shitty merger deal? Are Malhotra's company has become a bloody joke to you all?

Aman; ma'am actually Mr.Saxena didn't reveal merger details and Shrikant sir said to come today and discuss. Manik sir also said ok and Mr. Saxena sent this file few minutes ago

Nandini: call him and say there is no merger happening

Just then Tanya walks in

Tanya: ma'am Mr.Saxena and his daughter arrived they are waiting for you in meeting

Nandini: excellent

Aman: ma'am now what shall we do?

Nandini: stand on this table and do naagin dance

Aman: ok ma'am

Nandini drinks some water and cools down

Nandini:  Swayam how much time more?

Swayam: ma'am 10min

Nandini: ok and once it is done I wanted it in printed format

Swayam: done ma'am

Nandini and Tanya walks into meeting room and saw Aman is already waiting for them along with Mr. Saxena and his daughter Aliya

Aliya: you are 5min late. You know I hate late comers

Nandini: you might be free Aliya I have lot more other important things you know

Aliya: this merger is important to your company

Nandini: to my company or is it beneficial to your brand Aliya

Aliya: listen you

Nandini: Shh 🤫 Let's start the meeting I have more work

Aman: yes ma'am. So this merger is going to happen between Ms. Aliya Saxena company Beauty and Co. and Malhotra Empire and the percentage is Malhotra Empire is gone invest 70% and Ms. Saxena is gone invest 30%

Nandini: stop and Ms. Saxena explain your product

Aliya: what's there is to explain everything is written in the deal and just sign the papers

Nandini: we are investing yeh highest so brief your product right now or you know the way out of this empire. Do You?

Aliya: so these are beauty products and I'm starting of with skin care as it very important and every product is made keeping my preference in mind as my skin type is sensitive

Nandini: can I see the product

Tanya brings the product for Nandini and checks the ingredients used in products

Nandini: so basically you are selling products suited to your skin type only not for other skin types

Aliya: no it's my company so only my skin type

Nandini: mine too is sensitive skin n most of ingredients present in this products are not suited mine

Aliya: I don't care

Nandini: but you should care Aliya because we Malhotra's believe in brand and when we are investing huge amount everything should be perfect and yours this product is shitty as your proposal so I Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra reject this merger. So leave right now

Mr. Saxena: you can't say no

Nandini: why can't I? Give me a valid reason

Aliya: Nandini keep your personal issues aside and talk as professional

Nandini: you are speaking to CEO of this company and as CEO I reject and I do keep my personal life out of my professional life unlike u both I don't mix it

Just then Shrikant and Manik comes back from meeting they are heading towards their cabin they heard noise from meeting room so they go to check it

Shrikant: what's happening here?

Mr. Saxena: thank god you're here. Your daughter in law is saying no for merger

Aliya gets up from her chair and hold Manik  biceps seeing this Nandini was glaring at her and fists her hand to control her anger, Manik seeing Nandini glare and hand tightly, Manik removed Aliya's hand from his biceps

Aliya: yes Manik yesterday you and uncle said yes for merger

Shrikant: why princess?

Nandini: because dad it's a very dumb idea and her products are only made keeping her in mind. Skin care especially face is very sensitive part we can't apply some random products

Manik: one second it's a merger right i thought it's construction of building

Nandini: unfortunately no Manik it's beauty product. We deal merger with construction site or interior site for the first we gone do merger with beauty line

Manik: what the hell? Mr. Saxena why haven't you brief us yesterday

Mr. Saxena: actually

Aliya: but the point is why are you rejecting it this gone be helpful for you mainly

Nandini throws the file on table with loud noise

Nandini: are u that dumb Aliya, we are going to invest the highest amount and people will buy your product when they see Malhotra's name because they have that trust on us as we provide the best with best quality so after buying your product, people won't say anything to you all but our trust on them will be lost and I can't do something in which will Tarnish our reputation

Aliya: once you try the product Nandini

Nandini: Aliya the ingredients you have used are not suited for my skin type if I try for your sake I have to go to hospital. so take your products and get out

Seeing Nandini loosing her temper Manik goes towards her and side hugs her

Manik: Nandini calm down. Have some water

Aliya: they are 4 head in this panel right yours is no so I need rest of the opinions

Manik: mine is no I can't let people go through pain by using your product and reputation and in merger u guys have to invest the highest not us

Shrikant: No

Nandini: so u got the answer now leave

Aliya: still one person is left

Nandini: Nandini calls Nyonika and keeps it on speaker

Nyonika: hi baby did u have your lunch

Nandini: no mumma have to eat, I'm in middle of meeting and we got a merger deal with a beauty company

Nyonika: since when did u guys said yes for beauty merger

Nandini: not me, dad and Manik and it's Mr. Saxena company and my answer is no even dad and Manik's too

Nyonika: brief me the product

Nandini explains her everything

Nyonika: No and tell them to come with better plan and Malhotra's company is not a joke anybody comes with shitty idea and we will say yes.

Nandini: ok mumma I will say it

Nyonika: hmm and baby don't forget to have your lunch if I see your box full or u gave it someone, you will be grounded my girl

Nandini: mumma I'm not a kid now

Nyonika: you are either you will be grounded or you  will be not going to office for a week

Nandini: fine

Both cuts the call and Manik chuckles hearing to Nyonika Punishment and Nandini glares at him

(Did I forget to mention Nandini doesn't like to eat much but.....  she loves ice cream chocolates and pizza the most)

Nandini: so you guys heard take these dumb products and get the fuck out

Aliya: I won't leave you Nandini

Nandini: all the best

Soon Mr. Saxena and Aliya left

Nandini: dad Manik I have something to share

Shrikant and Manik settles down on chair

Shrikant: tell me princess

Nandini: there is black sheep in our company

Manik: who the hell he is?

Nandini: Mr. Mathur

Manik: finance head

Nandini: yep

Just then Swayam walks in with two files and gives it to Nandini

Nandini: this file is prepared by Mr. Mathur and u can see the wrong numbers used in budget file. He knows dad won't get employees pay list and number of items needs to be stored in cafeteria or cleaning department

Shrikant: but why did he backstabbed us

Jay: because he is getting double pay of his salary by Mr. Saxena

All three of them are shocked

Jay: yes sir Mr. Saxena has offered him double amount of salary and in return he have to change our company budget number the employees will get the salary we offered and remaining amount will go to Mr. Saxena account and in my investigation I got to know he is going through loss that's why he and his daughter came up with beauty line and merging Malhotra and Saxena with we investing the highest

Nandini: in short is it a Money Extortion

Jay: yes ma'am

Shrikant: Aman call Mr. Mathur right now and Tanya prepare his termination

Tanya: yes sir

Soon Mr. Mathur came, seeing him Manik lost his control and holds his collar

Manik: how bloody dare you to backstab us

Mr.Mathur: sir he blackmailed me and o have no option

Shrikant: you could have told us

Mr.Mathur: I was afraid sir

Just then Tanya came with a letter

Manik: your termination letter so take your stuff and get lost

Mr. Mathur: sir one chance

Manik: nope once a deceiver and will always deceive us

Mr. Mathur takes the letter and his stuff goes from there.

Nandini goes to her cabin and Shrikant too, Manik before leaving to his cabin slowly goes to Nandini cabin and opens the door and saw she was rubbing her forehead and lies on table. Manik immediately ordered a coffee for her from her fav Starbucks. After 20min he received the the coffee and kept it on Nandini table and kissed her forehead and goes to his cabin

After 20min Nandini woke up and saw her fav cold coffee with a note

Note:
Have some coffee it will reduce your tiredness and headache
                                               Your
        Manik ❤️

Nandini smiles at the note keeps it in her bag

Nandini: I still love you Manik and I MISS US

Soon it was 6:00pm Nandini was done with her work she packs everything and leaves her cabin.

Nandini leaves at 6, Shrikant and Manik leaves at 7

Malhotra Mansion:

Nandini comes inside and saw Nyonika reading some novel she keeps the bag on tables lies on sofa with her head on Nyonika lap

Nyonika: is my baby tired

Nandini: yess first they were meeting then on top of that stupid deal and Mr. Mathur backstabbing it was hectic

Nyonika: go have a warm shower and rest

Nandini: nai I will sleep here it's peaceful

Nyonika: my cute baby

Nandini: only yours

Nyonika: nandu

Nandini: hmm

Nyonika: is everything ok between you and Manik

Nandini looks at her and closes her eyes: everything is perfect mom don't worry

Nandini slept off and Nyonika pressing her head. Soon Manik and Shrikant came home and saw Nandini sleeping

Manik: is her head paining more

Nyonika: over stressed

Manik: I will take her too room

Nyonika: ya

Manik carries her and ask one of the servant to get their bag

Manik keeps her on bed and removes her heels and jewellery and pecks her lips

After an hour rest Nandini woke and gets freshen up. All of them had their dinner went back to their room.
