“My father is furious, but there is nothing he can do. He was already angry that Yash Varma dropped the alliance with me and chose Narmada instead.”

Tanvi frowned. Something about it was oddly familiar. But her sleep-deprived mind couldn’t place it.

“Thanks for offering to help me, Tanvi. You are one of my few friends who understood me.”

Tanvi smiled. “You are welcome, Divya. Although I didn’t do much.”

“Oh no. You did. Your words gave me a lot of courage. I was able to be brave and fight for my love.”

“I’m glad you took the step, Divya. I wish you all the best.”

“Thank you. I will keep in touch. And I wish you all the best in finding a perfect man soon.”

Tanvi smiled. “Thank you.”

The call ended, and Tanvi continued to smile. She had already found her perfect man. Handsome, cocky and arrogant, Arjun did drive her crazy most of the time. But he was perfect for her.

She hoped that, like Divya, she would find a way to be with him without risking him in anyway because of her father.

She let out a sigh and hugged herself. Something jingled in the pocket of the shirt she was wearing. She had been too tired and put on the first shirt she saw in Arjun’s closet. She realized it was a formal shirt.

She reached inside the pocket to remove whatever it was and place it on the nightstand. Her hand touched a cold metallic clip. She pulled it out and saw that it was a badge.

Arjun’s access badge to Prism Corporation.

CHAPTER 33

It took a week to find the perfect opportunity.

Tanvi’s heart thudded as she headed to the Prism Corporation stairways. Every cell in her body told her to stop what she was planning and get back to her office desk. But another part, the part that felt passionate about her mission to save the City Central Park and to do everything to have a safe future with Arjun, urged her to go on.

She knew Arjun might be in huge trouble because of her. She would, of course, take the entire blame on herself and ensure Arjun didn’t lose his job. But still, there was a big risk of him losing trust in her.

Her heart ached at the thought.

She loved Arjun. She would do anything to convince him of that fact.

This might be her only chance to meet the Prism chairman. She knew there was a board meeting scheduled for that morning. She was the one who had done the scheduling and booked the room.

Taking a deep breath and filling her mind with determination, she slipped into the stairway.

She headed up to the topmost floor.

Luckily, no one was using the stairs right then. Most likely because the few people who were allowed to the top floor always took the elevator.

She reached the top flight of the stairs. Biting her lip, she scanned Arjun’s card. She held her breath and waited. Her breath released only when the green light started flickering, indicating the door had unlocked.

She pushed it open quickly and slipped inside the floor.

She waited near the door for a few moments. Then taking a deep breath, she began walking purposefully. The floor was big, and the conference room where the chairman was located could be anywhere.

She looked at the names of the rooms. The doors to the rooms near the stairway were closed. But those were most likely individual rooms. The chairman would have a corner office overlooking the financial district and lake. She hurried towards that area.

Her heart beat faster when she saw a big reception desk right in front of the lifts. There was a man seated there talking on the phone. Putting her head down and pretending as though she were meant to be there, she walked past the desk and went towards the other side.

“Excuse me, madam,” the man at the reception desk called out.

Shit.
