Advik's POV

"6 am Monday morning. It would be sunny today. Best of luck for your first day in office, Advik." The robotic voice ranted as I got out of my bed.

I came back from California just 2 days ago and here I am. Dad already warned me yesterday, if I didn't stand up to his expectations. Vedhika will be declared as CEO. 3 months, to prove myself. Is that even enough? Might be. And along with that I have to oversee my music company. I can't abandon it in between. I haven't yet told dad. And I won't till I can prove myself. I can create something out of scratch just like he did.

I stare at the walls for minutes before getting out of my bed. And got ready for taking over the world, company I mean. I would have to get up eventually. Finally got up to and my eyes landed on my mirror and my eyes were stuck.

"The day is all mine." I whistled.

I took a hot shower for an hour. Yes an hour. Not my fault if you don't understand.

I walked slow through the stairs noticing the calmness in air. Where is everyone? Mom? Dad? Vedhika? How is it so calm today?

"Excuse me? May I ask where is mom?" I asked the maid preparing breakfast in kitchen who flinched at my voice.

"Good morning, Sir. Mrs. Ahraya had to go to Delhi due to some emergency last night."

"Oh.....Thank you."

"Sir your breakfast is ready." The maid timidly called behind me. Her feet curling. Was I scaring her or what? I silently moved to dining table and was about to serve before she extended her hand to serve. Damn. I have been living in California for 5 years that I have been so self-dependent. I have learned cooking to cleaning everything. Of course, I could afford 20 servants hovering around. But I wanted to learn for myself. I finished my breakfast as the maid waited in the kitchen.

Before getting out of house. For one last time I looked at mirror, running a hand through my hairs.

"Perfect." I muttered to myself.

Call it self-obsession or anything. I am addicted to myself.

I entered the building and saw people murmuring around with wide open mouths. It has become a common reaction to me. All eyes on me especially with my 4 bodyguards in all black and guns ready. All around.

"Stop" I raised my hand back.

"Good morning Mr. Ahraya. It is so good to see you after such a long time." A lady in black and white dress said extending her hand as I was about to enter the lift.

"Good morning, Miss....." I waited. And her hand dropped. Arrogant, I read on her face.

"Shruti, I am your dad's secretary. I heard you would be the next CEO?" She uttered hiding her frustration or her embarrassment manipulating me into a question I wouldn't want to answer.

"Not yet Miss Shruti. My dad is too young to resign yet. And also, I might need your help to appoint a PA for me." I said staring at my watch. Her jaw drop opened. She was expecting to be my PA. Well sorry miss. You failed the vibe test.

"Sure sir, I will inform the HR department." She uttered to floor. And the lift opened finally. She looked at lift and then at me.

"Go on." I said extending my hand offering her the lift. She entered and I turned back to find Vedhika (my elder sister) approaching me and I stood there patiently watching her show. Getting out of her Urus with 2 bodyguards and a girl, seems like her PA following close.

"Come, I will show you your cabin and my PA will assist you for the time one is appointed for you." She said formally taking the opposite lift as the lady. And I followed behind her. I looked back to steal one last glance of the lady's annoyed face and a smirk carved on my lips.

"So how is it? I finalized each and everything myself." Vedhika looked at me in hope of a positive answer. I gazed at her and her PA who seemed too lost adoring my eyes.

"Excuse me, we need to discuss something personal. Could you please....?"

"Yes sir.. I...... I am sorry." The girl fumbled and ran embarrassed. And I shifted my gaze to Vedhika impatiently drumming her heel on the floor. But I only took out my blazer and placed on the chair folding my sleeves.

"It is fine as long as gecko's like you don't attack in here." I mocked her.

"I am so sorry sir but there are, in fact so many that they will hunt you down." She said crossing her arms shooting daggers. I didn't respond, I was busy scanning the room. I kind of liked the vibe but I would prefer it black.

"A board meeting will be held today to formally introduce you as new marketing head and discuss some joint ventures and ongoing projects." She said sitting on couch behind her.

"Sir?" A feeble voice behind gate mushed, knocking.

"Come in."

The same PA entered the cabin.

"Sir, would you like to take a look at the office, we still have about 3 hours for the meeting." Her robotic polite tone came back.

"Sure, go on." I said getting out of my chair and shutting down my laptop that I hadn't even unlocked yet.

The hours passed swiftly. It was huge, multiple building and finally last block.

Some models were posing the newly designed outfits. And about 25 people roaming here and there around the model and as soon as I stepped in. Each eye turned to me.

"He looks better than the model itself." A man said looking like a director from a typical movie.

"Why don't you hire him instead, you will surely get a promotion or at least a bonus for skyrocketing the sales." A man beside him murmured but it was audible to my sharp ears.

"You moron, he is the new CEO of company." Someone added.

"I never saw him before in the company. Did chairman kept him in safe to keep him safe from girls hunting on his handsome face?" A girl lured gawking me, probably a model. And the male model beside her showcased 60 reactions in 60 seconds just to earn a smirk from me. And the PA finally stepped in to introduce me.

"This is Mr. Advik Ahraya. New marketing head." Her formal voice echoed in the hall hushing the murmurs.

"And Mr. Ahrya this is advertising department. And meet our top model, Riyansh." Though he flashed a smile, an inevitable jealousy was visible on his face.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Advik." Riyansh extended his hand.

"Same here." I said shaking hand.

"I shouldn't be saying this, but you should be in advertising department. I am damn sure it will skyrocket company's sales." He uttered in a mocking tone as if I was not eligible to even stand here as a model. Little does he know, where I come from.

"Thanks for your kind words, Riyansh but besides looks I have expertise in many other fields too." I replied his words looking all around mouths wide open. As I lifted my eyes, each eye fell on ground. None of them dared to look up again.

I stole a glance of my watch and changed the topic, "It is almost time for the meeting. We shall leave." Turning around and leaving the room my PA following me chaotically in her heels. Unable to balance herself.

In the meeting--------------------------------------------------------

I entered the room and everyone stood on their seats. And were about to sit but Vedhika entered behind me, and they stood again. And the room filled with whispers as both of us took our seats. Vedhika didn't pay the slightest heed and got busy with her laptop. I opened my laptop and took out my phone.

"Is he the chairman's son?" A lady whispered. My eyes were focused on my phone, but my ears heard each and every word.

"Isn't he hot?"

"So the rumors were true? He is hot."

"But I never saw him on social media or something. Ain't it weird?"

"What's weird about it? Most royals don't like any kind of publicity. I heard they are looking for a PA for him. I guess we stand a chance..."

"But didn't you hear, he is dating some Californian singer. I forgot her name."

"It is 11:05 already. Are we going to start?" I punched my fist on table lightly gaining attention of those whispering ladies.

"He is too arrogant dude." Another whisper.

"But I find arrogance hot." Another.

"Their genes are blessed with beauty and arrogance." A girl hushed as I looked up. Silence. No other voice.

"We need to wait for Mr. Ahuja. Just give me 2 minutes." She uttered calmly and barged out of cabin calling someone.

I sat back on my chair reading my emails.

"Mr. Ahuja might not be available today. He got into a minor accident on his way. We shall start without him." Vedhika said getting back on her seat and gesturing her PA. And she started explaining about some graphs on the slides. The most boring task honestly. And her voice it was making me feel dizzy plus the chatters about my rumors. Vedhika has been too lenient with them. But it won't last long. I will make sure they look at me knowing me for my arrogance and also make sure they don't find it hot.

A girl kicked my feet. Bro this is insane. I looked at her and she raised her brows.

"So Mr. Ahraya, what do you think about this project." Vedhika emphasized. Well sorry miss I forgot to hear your lullaby coz I didn't want to fall asleep in middle of a day. The girl who kicked smiled visible from corners of my eyes.

"I guess we should......."

"Mr. Ahraya, if you don't mind. I have some suggestions before that." The girl interrupted hastily. Her voice was addictive, so calm and serene. And her eyes the way she looked at me.

"Go on." I uttered captivated looking at her. She stood up and pointed out 15 mistakes in a minute and 30 ways to improve it, summarizing the presentation. Her voice was def melodious. It was hard to snap out of her cute face reactions.

"This is it. So......" She uttered at last. And the room burst with thunderclaps.

"Genius as always Navi." Vedhika stood up shaking her hand and both taking their seats.

"We will make the changes and start with the project next month." Vedhika confirmed looking at everyone.

"Navi, you will lead this project. All the best." Vedhika said closing her laptop. And the girl nodded. Vedhika gestured everyone to leave the room, Navi too left but Vedhika remained at her place lost in her phone.

"All okay?" I asked.

"Yeah it is fine. So what do you think about company huh?"

"You have been too lenient with them. Just wait and watch how I change them for better."

"Khadoos boss banne ka shok h kya tumhe?"

"Bachpan se." I said and we packed up and I was about to leave when I noticed a diary on Navi's seat. A royal blue diary. I picked it up and went out of cabin. She was nowhere to be seen.

"Excuse me, Where can I find Miss Navi.....?" I asked a receptionist.

"Navi....?" She asked her last name.

"Leave it. I will see later." I said and barged into my cabin.
