"I wasn't feeling well, so...", Isha started but cut off by Ashley...

"Then you should have taken a leave...", she said harshly which startled Isha, but she maintained her ground...

"I'm in my periods, cramps get really bad for me and I can't keep standing the whole day in the boutique", Isha said expecting Ashley to understand since she is a woman herself...

"You are not the only woman in the office, we all work and we work the same like every day during periods too... get going, I don't want to see you in office today", Ashley ordered

"Ashley... please consider her request, I have seen her suffering, it gets pretty bad, and she had to stand the whole day in the boutique... look I understand, many women manage, but not everyone's situation is the same, and here there is an option of switching, there are resources available who could take Isha's position, so why not ??", Ragini requested politely, she sowanted to snap at the crazy bi**h but she was determined to send Isha to the boutique, so she had to request to stop her...

"Ragini... the company belongs to neither you nor your friend, don't waste my time... I'll come again in half an hour for the brief, I shouldn't see her here by then", she said and walked away with a winning smirk...

"Ishu... if I were you, I would have slapped her hard and screamed 'yes, the office is mine you bi**h'", Reetu said

"Huh, it's fine... I'll go to the boutique", Isha said packing her bag...

"Are you crazy ?? Shut up, I'll try to talk to Ashley again, but you are not going anywhere...", Ragini said

"Ragini...", Isha tried to stop her but she already left, Ragini tried to talk to Ashley but she didn't listen, so she had no option but to call Ranveer who in turn called Avyan to get the issue resolved as soon as possible but Avyan didn't pick up, so he had no option other than calling his brother-in-law, he thought he would get the issue resolved by his staff but what he did surprised him, now his sister would kill him and Ragini...

Ashley returned back exactly after half-hour, but Ragini didn't let Isha move an inch...

"What are you doing here till now ?? What did I tell you ??", Ashley asked

"I am her boss, she reports to me, I asked her not to go so she is obeying me", Ragini said

"Unfortunately, you don't have a say in it, it's the policy of the company and she leaves now...", Ashley said sternly in a louder tone, suddenly the place turned all silent and cold and Ashley thought it's because of her rising tone until she heard that tone which scared the hell out of her...

"John... ", Abhyansh called lowly in his cold tone but the calm environment made the coldness spread all over through his tone...

"Yes Maharaj...", John bowed before turning to Ashley... "recite the clause 25 in the employee contract Ms. Parker, it's the king's order", John said, his tone extremely authoritative but that's not what scared people, the BEAST who carries a coldest aura, standing there silently as if contemplating 100 ways to murder Ashley Parker...

Ashley turned and her eyes widened in shock and fear actually seeing the king there...

"I sincerely apologize for my tone Your Highness...", Ashley started but Abhyansh cut her off...

"What did John ask you to do ??", he asked in his cold tone which could scare the hell outta people, Ashley is no exception...

"Forgive me Your Royal highness... I don't remember...", Ashley tried hard not to fumble, already accepting she would lose her job now...

Abhyansh looked at John to recite it...

"Yes Maharaj...", John bows before starting to recite the contract "It states that the company provides a special privilegefor female employees, they can take work from home for a maximum of 5 days a month if needed, if at all they have a field visit or a field job, they are free to switch for a desk job for a few days but ensuring there is no damage or loss for the company in any form.", John said, Ashley's face paled, she didn't expect the king to know the whole matter, she thought she could manipulate regarding what happened pushing the whole blame on Isha...

"The A & M contract included that the same employee contract is valid for Ms. Ragini Shah and her employees as well", John added "So, on what basis are you forcing Mrs. Isha to leave for a field job, when she fulfilled all her conditions according to the clause ??", John questioned...

All this time, Abhyansh was furious, he so wanted to kill Ashley Parker for talking rudely with his wife, but Isha kept signing him to calm down, trying to be as discrete as possible...

"I was trying to prevent any operational losses for the company... she...", Ashley started but Abhyansh has had enough of that women's bullsh*t... Isha very well knew that expression, she shook her head asking her husband not to do something extreme...

"Ms. Parker is demoted to the position she started with R Empire", Abhyansh declared walking away shocking everyone... especially Ashley... she didn't understand what's happening...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHAPTER – 11

Ashley stood there shocked, she was demoted to a position she started in the organization with, 14 years ago ?? That was worse than losing her job, no ?? Maybe she could resign now and ask for an experience letter with the same position she was currently in, she could do that right ?? But, John's next statement shattered her hopes...

"Prepare all the papers regarding the demotion and send them to Mr. Khan for approval", John ordered his subordinate...
