That one conversation made Abhyansh take some life-changing decisions both for himself and his people. He would be forever grateful to Mr. Khan for it though he never told him 'Thank you', he made sure his actions showed it.

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

Abhyansh is brought out of reverie by the message sound...

"Are you done with your work ?? Or I can ask Ragini to drop me",his wife's text read... he sighed in irritation, he didn't know what satisfaction she found in texting rather than just calling him up... he called her and she picked up instantly...

"I'll take you, take the elevator number 7, I'll be in it", he said and after hearing her 'okay' he hung up...

Abhyansh took great care of his wife for the next two days... he stayed in Rajput Palace for the time being, though he visited his palace to offer the prayer, every morning. As she promised, she took leave for the two days and she felt a lot better with her husband and brother's pampering her.

Isha's cramps have reduced and Abhyansh couldn't be happier, he hated seeing her in pain, and the thought that she would be going through it once every month disturbed him to no extent...

Abhyansh dropped her in the office before leaving for his palace on the outskirts as he had another meeting with the ministers.

Isha thanked Shivam for covering her shift in the boutique two days ago and informed Ragini and went to the boutique to complete her outdoor duty, she purposely didn't inform her husband or her brother as they would make a big deal out of it, especially her husband.

Ragini tried to stop Isha as Ashley was also deployed there but she didn't listen.

Isha entered the boutique and smiled at the store staff... she spotted Ashley, who was glaring at her. Isha sighed and gave a small smile as she so wanted to end the bad blood between them but Ashley turned her head walking away.

"Hi Isha... good that you are here, I thought that annoying Shivam would be here...", Nupur, one of the store staff said

"He is a good person, don't say that", Isha said, Ashley who was taking a list of the things there scoffed hearing Isha. Ashley felt Isha purposely plays the act of being goody two shoes...

"Not to everyone... anyways... that woman there is Ashlaay... or something like that... she is from A&M department from R Empire, she is here to learn the processes, though she is an American, she understands the locale language, but still try to communicate in English", Nupur said

"Yeah... I know her...", Isha said and Nupur nodded...

"Haha, you know Isha, Nupur hates communicating with her... though Ashley understands a bit of Hindi, Rajasthani, Marwari, this lady here (pointing towards Nupur) tries to speak in English with her, the poor lady tries to understand her broken English but it was pathetic", another one said to Isha making her laugh making Ashley fume in anger...

She thought they were making fun of her, but they actually were talking about Nupur...

Half a day passed, and Isha took her box and moved to her friends to have lunch when she saw Ashley having lunch alone...

"She eats alone, every day??", Isha asked

"Yeah, she doesn't get our words nor our language much, neither can we communicate in English among ourselves, moreover she likes to stay alone, she has too much attitude for her position",Nupur said, Isha wanted to tell them that she used to head the A&M for R Empire textile wing till 3 days back, but she bit back...

They heard the commotion on the front side of the boutique, they were about to get up and see what it was but when they saw Ashley getting up and walking out, they sat back and continued with their lunch...

"I can't come in, why the hell did you drag me here Anshi", Natasha said glaring at her friend

"Well... you are already in, so just help me shop for my wedding... I love their collection...", Anshi said

"You know what happened with me last time", Natasha said harshly pulling her friend's hand to leave from there...

"Well, that's your fault, you shouldn't have called their designer with a degrading word...", Anshi snapped

"She is one, I saw with my own eyes, she got down the king's car, that too back seat, her face was flushed, hair dishevelled and lips swollen, she was sleeping with the king, I am sure", Natasha said, Ashley's eyes quirked up in curiosity about which designer they are talking about...

"You might have misunderstood, anyways, that's her personal thing, we have nothing to do with it... her lehengas are amazing, and I want to wear them for my wedding functions, so don't create a scene and just help me with choosing like a good friend, and if it makes you feel any better, I talked to the staff here recently, the designers don't work here anymore", Anshi said dragging Natasha to look around the collection, Ashley followedthem, she understood who they were talking about but just wanted to be sure...

"Hi... I am Ashley Parker, can I help you ??", she said politely making her presence...

"Yes please, we want to see designer Isha's works, can you help us with that ??", Anshi asked politely, Natasha scoffed hearing Isha's name and Ashley understood the whole scene.

"No wonder you have that reaction... she is worth it", Ashley said looking at Natasha...
