Billionaire's Heart (CIL series Book 1)

XXI. Mrs. Laksh Banerjee

THIRD PERSON POV

"So, Miss Aria Sinha, We are going to have a collaborated contract of building a street mall in Benerjee's township where people can go around and enjoy. There are spas, food courts, local and international products, park, game zones, theatres (normal and exclusive) etc. This Mall contains 430 retailers and would occupy 29,000 square meters in the centre of the township. Many of the retailers have already booked the slots. Few slots are allotted to the local tribes to showcase unique and ancient products. And now we are gathered here to decide the percentage share of commission between of our companies received from the retailers. It takes precisely a week to approach them with our deal and complete the document work. Hope you have a good stay in Shimla. Thank you."

The conference room resonated with applauses with Laksh's presentation and detailed work. Aria is also impressed. She is attracted to Laksh than being impressed. Throughout the whole presentation, she hardly paid attention to it. Her whole attention is solely on the presenter. The more he speaks, the more her want for him increased.

Aria Sinha, the only daughter of Preetham Sinha, came all over to Shimla to sign the deal on her father insistence. However coming over to Shimla has done some good to her... she thought. This is the first time that she felt such strong feeling for someone. In the whole presentation, she is doing nothing but drink-in Laksh's Godly handsome features and ogle at his perfectly defined body. She's drowning into his charms every second. Now she understood why her father was persistent about her visit to Shimla.

Aria: (offering her hand for a hand shake) Hello Mr. Benerjee. I'm happy finally meet THE LAKSH BENERJEE.

Laksh: (politely) Thank you Ms. Sinha. Pleasure is mine.

Maya: AHH... Ms. Aria I've already booked table in the nearby restaurant for our lunch. Come let's go. Laksh... We'll be back in an hour or so.

Laksh: sure take your time. Enjoy your lunch ladies.

Aria: Wait... isn't he joining us for lunch?

Maya: (teasingly) oh no he already have someone booked to have his breakfast, lunch and dinner with.

Aria did not understand why Laksh is not seeing her as a woman. He barely glanced at her. He was completely professional. The meetings she attended before were not this professional. Men use to ogle at her and desired her. They were all touchy and clingy. She is considered as a beauty and goddess descended on earth. But Laksh... he did not show any interest in her. He kept things professional between them like a true gentlemen. This made Aria desire him more.

Aria: Mr. Laksh please join us for lunch. I'm new to town and I barely know anyone. So please join us for lunch.

Laksh: (after thinking for couple of minutes) fine. But I cannot guarantee you a cheerful and talkative company.

Aria: Oh... that's fine as long as you come.

At the Restaurant:

Maya orders coffee and talks to Aria. Laksh starts reading a book as he is not interested in talking to her other than business. Laksh always has a strange disgusted feeling whenever Aria looks at him, so he maintains his distance and shows no interest in their talk. As a part of conversation Aria suddenly asks about his ideal type women. Just then, Neetu comes to the same restaurant with her interns. Laksh notices Neetu and points finger towards her

Laksh: she is the type of person I like (love)

Aria (surprised): why are pointing out at a stranger?
