Rohit narrowed his eyes as he studied Vani.
She was barely twenty-five. Beautiful looking face. A decent salary. A promising position in one of the city's established companies.
Someone like her didn't casually gamble away an entire career by sabotaging an international presentation.
There were only two possibilities.
Either someone close to her had convinced her to do it...
...or someone held enough leverage to force her hand.
That was why, the moment they were finally alone, he asked the strangest question possible. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Vani instinctively flinched.
She stared at him blankly.
Rohit tilted his head slightly. "Ms. Vani... was my question that difficult?"
She unconsciously took half a step back.
Despite his polite tone, something about his calm expression felt anything but gentle. "No, sir..." she blurted quickly. "But I don't think Arya madam would approve of our relationship."
Silence.
Rohit blinked once.
Then understanding dawned on him.
