Page 64 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"Ms. Shah... about what happened a few hours ago...", Abhyansh started...

"Rana sa... /Ranawat...", the Rajput siblings started together coming to Ragini's rescue... Abhyansh frowned looking at Ranveer with a frown, didn't he already warn him to stay away from his wife's best friend?? Ranveer shut his mouth looking at his brother-in-law's scrutinized gaze, now he had to hear another warning to stay away from Ragini, huh... why can't he shut his mouth?? His sister would save Ragini but who would save him now?? Cursed himself, Ranveer.

"It isn't Ragini's fault, she is about to...", Isha started but Abhyansh gave her a strong look that shut her up, she knows when to shut up to save her life.

"Seeing how you stood up for your best friend last time, I expected something different from you but you disappointed me...", Abhyansh said surprising Ragini. He talked as her best friend's husband, not as a king. She expected him to reprimand her, and so did Ranveer and Isha but his words shocked them as well...

"I apologize Maharaj... that time I stood up for my best friend's rights, and now to save the same best friend from embarrassment, I was silent, but I realized my fault now... I should have taught Abhay a lesson the moment he made Isha uncomfortable", Ragini said genuinely...

Abhyansh nodded... Ragini and Isha walked away and Ranveer is about to escape too but his BEAST brother-in-law stopped him...

"Not you Rajput, I need to discuss a few things with you", Abhyansh said

"Ishu wait...", Ranveer said to his sister who almost reached the door, "Ranawat, I need to check on my sister, we'll talk later okay", Ranveer tried to escape...

"Bhai... I'm fine... don't worry, talk to Rana sa, I have work, we'll talk in the evening, whatever it is", Isha said, gave a small smile to Abhyansh, and left with Ragini...

"Dumb and useless sister of mine...", Ranveer muttered and Abhyansh glared at him... "I was talking about my sister Ranawat, not your wife", Ranveer said in his defence but Abhyansh didn't budge... "okay sorry", Ranveer apologized and Abhyansh's stature changed a bit from rigid to somewhat composed.

"What games are you playing with Ms. Shah?? I already told you to stay away from her, didn't I??", Abhyansh said coming directly to the point...

"I'm not playing any games Ranawat, stop seeing me as a player... and she is not the one to be played by anyone... she is a strong woman and knows what she wants...", Ranveer said

"And what she wants is definitely not you...", Abhyansh said and Ranveer glared at him... "what?? Glaring at me won't change the fact that she is off your limits, that woman is too good for you", he added

"When a BEAST like you can have a woman so good and innocent as my sister, then a man like me can definitely have a woman like her Ranawat", Ranveer countered and now it's Abhyansh's chance to glare at his brother-in-law...

"Last warning Rajput... don't call me BEAST, my wife won't like it... and stop whatever it is you are doing with Shah...", Abhyansh said

"I haven't started anything yet, to stop, you are such a BEAST", Ranveer cursed his brother-in-law and left from there...

Abhyansh sighed at his childish, immature, and a** of a brother-in-law before getting back to his work... Ragini and Isha went back and everyone was curious as they went for hours, Ragini told them that it was the procedures that took much time, she said the king didn't say much, just asked them to take care next time and report any incidents of harassment or even a minute discomfort. Everyone praised the king's thoughts and how he cared about some random employee but only God would know how they would react when they get to know that this random employee is the Queen of the whole Empire. But Isha knew her husband would have reacted the same way if he saw any other girl getting harassed like that, the only change is he won't be so furious and take it personally, or get mad at the girl for notjerking the man's hands away, like he did in her case, but there's another difference... the way the king is gonna punish Abhay Malhotra... well, that's a secret only for the king, his men, and Abhay Malhotra himself apart from the almighty who wrote his fate like that to know.

Ragini started with their first strategy meeting on how to deal with their major challenge of having the office space separate from the boutique.

"There are two major issues because of this, we won't be getting reviews or inputs about customers' needs or their opinions about our clothes or our designer's works, the second is it gets difficult to track the sales pattern now, any solutions guys??", Ragini asked

"On sales pattern, we can take help from the marketing team of R Empire, they keep track of everything, and now our designs will be produced in bulk, they will definitely keep a track of it", Shivam said

"But, what about the other issue, customers' inputs??", Ragini asked

"Ragini, we recently shifted our pattern of work, I don't think abandoning our old methods completely is a good idea, we should keep following the same things, a sudden change could result adversely, and taking such risks isn't advisable in the current situation", Isha said

"So, what’s your point??", Reetu asked expecting Isha to detail...

"I think we should keep getting inputs from the customers' that way, our designers won't lose their major source of inspiration and their work would be up-to-the current trends", Isha said

"Yr... Ishu... I can't go back to working in that crappy building after witnessing how working in R Empire looks like", Reetu said

"Today is my first day and I already saw the king from so near, what more inspiration do we need than this", Aashna said and Isha sighed looking at Ragini...

"I'm not suggesting for us to work there every day, two of the designers go per day, that way, each of us will have to spend a day in the whole week there...", Isha suggested and after discussing all the pros and cons, Ragini finalized Isha's idea, all the designers whined but agreed as she is right.

After the day, everyone left for their places, Isha thought her husband would have left as he would be home an hour before her work hours end but to her surprise, she saw his message.

"Waiting for you in B4",the text read, she smiled, he does the most detested things even for her, like texting...

"Ishu... let's celebrate our first day somewhere nice", her colleague suggested
