|#6. The Deal|

Karan and Krystle have a trifle when he scolds an employee for a mere mistake, that he made. Later, he asks Krystle to finish the file and give it to him. She finishes the work in an hour and also makes him realise that he is doing things in the wrong way. On the other hand, Karan handed another task to her and Ruhana finishes it before lunch time.

Krystle is a woman of her word, and when it comes to working, she does it with all her heart and soul. After meeting Karan, her viewpoint has changed and she is adamant to make him realise that he is treating his employees as machines and that he can also make mistakes which he usually makes but doesn't accept it.

She keeps the presentation and the file in his cabin and moves to the cafeteria to have lunch and coffee. A coffee may charge her for the rest of the day and give her energy to answer back Mr Karan Tacker.

Ruhana has settled to have lunch and is scrolling her phone when it rings. She cringes on her nose to see Karan's name flashing on the screen. Huh! Karan is pestering her even on the Day 1 of work.

She takes the call and he asks her to be ready, he wants her to accompany him to a meeting. Well, is he trying to pester her so that she leaves the job? Krystle is dumbfounded at the moment. She comes out of her trance when Karan calls her name. She agrees to him, after all, she has to do all the tasks given to her by her boss.

Krystle asks for thirty minutes to finish her lunch and get ready. Karan readily agrees and it is a surprise for her. They disconnect the call, and Krystle finishes her lunch and gears up for the rest of the day. It's gonna be hectic for her, obviously. Karan won't make it easy for her.

*****
Half an hour later, Karan and Krystle are driving in Karan's car. Silence prevails between them until Krystle decides to initiate the chat. She looks at Karan and finds him focussing on the road.

"Where are we going?" She asks him.

"For a meeting. And I want you to deal with them." Karan says.

"Hey! But you didn't give me the details." Krystle says, she's shocked at the moment.

"Oh! Do you need it? I thought you'd be able to manage." Karan says, smiling slyly at Krystle.

"Huh! What do you mean?" Krystle rolls her eyes at Karan.

"Ms D'souza, you've been doing things nicely. When you can argue with me then you'd be able to manage to the deal too. Take it as your test!" Karan says softly, yet dangerously.

"How could you do that? Just because no one replies back to you, you won't scold them or order them without any reason. I stand for the right things, Mr Tacker. And you're doing it the wrong ways. Even it is wrong to take me to the meeting without giving me any details. Either you're overconfident that you'd get the deal or you don't care about it." Krystle says hatefully.

"Just because you're the boss, it doesn't mean that you will do anything that will please you." Krystle says gritting her teeth in anger.

"Chill Ms D'souza! You should be thankful that I am giving you a chance." Karan says in a careless manner.

"Oh yeah! As if you're doing it for me! I do not need your favour." Krystle says and she looks away.

"This deal will decide your tenure in the company, Ms Krsytle." Karan says, glancing at her in a challenging tone.

"Oh! I knew, you'll do it. You don't know any other way of course. But, to remind you, do not mess with me. You'll get lost, of course. So, please, behave properly." Krystle says angrily.

"And, and! If you think this is a challange and I'll backoff and leave your office, then let me tell you, I've never learned to lose! And now, you will be losing soon, Mr Tacker." Krystle says answering Karan's challanging look.

Well, she is not the kind to backoff and she knows it that Karan would continue to pester her and force her to leave the office. But she won't backoff. She will change Karan and his attitude as well.

Soonish, they reach the venue and Krystle follows Karan silently. As they enter the conference hall, Krystle finds some brochures on the table and as she read them, her lips curve into a smile. She knows what the meeting is about.

Meanwhile, the owners of the company also arrive and the meeting begins. This is an international company, for which Karan has filled the tendor. As everyone begins to give their suggestion, Krystle also says something that leaves Karan astonished. May be, he thought that she'd not speak because he didn't tell her anything, but she has already got the gist in her hand while the owners seem impressed with Krystle.

To Be Continued.

What did Krystle say?

Will Karan change ever?

Stay tuned.
