With the end of the weekend, a new week of the month begins. Everyone left the house for their respective work.
While entering the office, Muskan notices one thing. There was a glow on everyone's face, and the motivation to come to work on Monday was visible in her office.
Riya came to give her bright morning greetings. "Good morning, ma'am. How was your weekend?"
"Good morning, Riya. It was good. By the way, what’s with the mood in the office today? It’s kinda… different." With a very small stretch on her lips, she replied.
"This is due to the new project. Everyone is very excited about it. Honestly, I am also quite excited. The opportunity to work with Roy Industries does not come every day. Everyone has been waiting for this day, and finally, the time has come… Oh! In all this, I forgot to tell you one important thing. Vishal Sir is back. He has called everyone for a meeting now."
"Okay. I'll keep my bags and come."
"So tell me, how big is today’s mountain that I have to sign today?" Jay asked in a lethargic tone.
Like everyone else, Ted and Jay were having their Monday morning on the way to the office.
"Do you think of me as Hulk, capable of carrying your so-called mountain around?" Ted replied, annoyed.
“You’re nothing less. Doc Green!”
"By the way, sir, I want to talk to you about Style in." Switching back to his secretary mode, Ted said.
"Yes, go ahead!" Hearing the name of Style In, it was as if he got an electric current. The tiredness that Jay had since morning thinking about work, got converted into enthusiasm in a jiffy.
“Oh my! Look at you jump at the name of Style In. I have to drag you every morning to the office. But with just Style In’s mention, you’re full of energy, huh?” Ted teased him, to which Jay blushed innocently.
At Style In, Muskan and her colleagues ended their morning meeting. Everyone was dismissed and went back to work.
“Muskan. Can we talk for a bit?”
“Yes, sir.”
“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me sir when we are alone?"Vishal, her senior, said.
"Anyways, I wanted to thank you! You managed the situation very nicely last week. I had no idea Mr. Roy would personally visit us at short notice. If I had known, I would’ve postponed my trip. You handled my position very well.”
“No need to thank me, sir-... Vishal. It’s my job. And to be honest, I didn’t do anything. Riya and other people handled them. All I did was to remind them what they have been preparing since last year.”
“ Exactly! On that note, I want to appoint you as the official head of this project. As of now, you were unofficially leading everyone. Now, you take the charge along with Riya as your assistant.”
“But Vishal, I can't. I already have many things on my plate. If I take one more, it’ll get messed up. Instead, why don’t you do it as it was planned initially, along with Riya?”
“You and Riya handled that situation with remarkable understanding and patience. I believe no one else can lead this project better than you two. Muskan, I trust your capabilities, which have been vital to our success. Please, focus solely on this project and set aside everything else. I will manage those. This opportunity is huge for us, and I want to avoid any mistakes.
“Mr. Jay! After successfully launching Roy Electronics on the international stage, we want to know your thoughts on coming back within the fashion industry.” The host asked Jay.
“Well! I wanted pretty ladies like you to get the best apparels, which will multiply your beauty many times. And as you know Roy always serves the best! On a serious note… As you said Roy electronics launch was successful, so my job’s done there. Now we’re trying something new, something different."
He aced the interview, which was kept to broadcast his success on international platforms.
In his interview, he also mentioned the collaboration with Style In. After this interview was uploaded, Style In sales skyrocketed.
There was a significant increase in demand from areas that had previously placed no orders. Everyone in Muskan's office was thrilled about this unexpected surge in business.
However, she felt a mix of emotions. While she was pleased with the progress, she also felt despair due to Jay's involvement in this success.
Few days later, a different department was arranged in the Roy head office building where Jay was also working. Muskan’s team was offered to shift in the building temporarily for the project. This was the reason why CEO Vishal wanted Muskan to lead this project.
Within a week, a team of six along with their team leader Muskan, shifted themselves temporarily in the Roy building. Everyone along with Riya was very excited for their new venture. They all were flabbergasted as they entered the Roy building.
The reception was decorated like a palace, filled with huge and expensive artifacts and masterpieces.
Seeing the beauty of that place, Riya was walking in great wonder. That's when her eyes fell on a man coming from near the lift area. Because she was not wearing his spectacles, she could not recognize him. But still got attracted towards his beautiful aura.
Fortunately, that man was coming towards them only, so she asked Muskan, standing beside her, about who that man was and why he was coming towards them.
"That's Ted. He's coming here to guide us. Don't you recognize him?"
Ted was ordered specially by Jay to welcome and guide the team. He took them to a room which was well equipped with all the facilities and was a department in itself. The room colour and ambience was structured similar to their own office. It was visible that special attention was taken to make the Style In staff comfortable in an alien environment. Everyone slowly settled and arranged themselves.
"Ms. Muskan?"
"Yes, Mr. Ted?"
"Sir wants to talk to the leader of the team. So, after settling down, can you come to his cabin?"
"Umm… Yes, I will."
