Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 364
The day went by just like that for Shreya…
But as evening fell, Shreya looked at Akira nervously.
She had a meeting with the chairperson of the W corp. in a few hours and she cannot be late nor miss it. This was very important in nailing Yash… and she wanted to do it face to face.
She impatiently tapped on her legs as she tried to muster the correct words to let Akira know about the meeting.
“Baby, I have been good all day, right? I even came on given time… don’t you think I should be rewarded??”, Shreya shamelessly curry-flavored as she picked up Akira and sat her on her l.a.p.s.
Akira frowned confused before leaning over and pecked on Shreya’s cheeks very diligently.
Shreya’s face brightened while her whole heart fell into a puddle of mess. She was speechless. She did not have the heart to tell her anymore that she needed to leave.
But seeing that Shreya did not react, Akira thought the reward was not enough and leaned over to peck on her other cheeks.
And obviously, Shreya fell flat. She almost forgot about the whole meeting in an instance until Akash called to remind her of course.
Shreya was stuck for a moment before making a decision.
“Baby, get dressed. We are going to go out for dinner… my treat!!” Shreya said brightly while Charan arched his brows.
Just as Akira went to get ready, “I have a meeting with a client, and given how Akira is, I do not have the mind to leave her behind. Let’s just go… all of us. I will spin it around somehow. You can just take her for a walk when we are talking business…” Shreya explained.
And thus, all three got ready and made their way to the Imperial.
By luck when she was looking to meet up with him, he actually came to the city for a meeting. And Shreya jumped on the opportunity and booked him a room at the Imperial and made an appointment to meeting up with him.
Thus all three got ready in no time and left her apartment.
Andrew was waiting for them in the lobby with three cars. Since the accident, the security around her was notched up a little. And since the parade.
Shreya held Akira’s hands on her uninjured hand and led her to the car in the middle.
All three were Land rovers looking identical.
Because of the coordination with three cars, it actually took them almost half an hour to reach the Imperial.
All three made their way into the lobby with her fanfare following her. They did not leave her until they had settled down on the tables. Only then did not give them some privacy.
“What do you want to eat?” Shreya asked looking at Akira…
Obviously, the staff was very respective to all the three present.
Food filled the tables in no time as both Charan and Akira started digging in.
Shreya had brought them here before time so that she can let Akira have her dinner to her fill. Anyways, she would have to eat with the chairman. So, she refrained from having anything.
Both of them finished their dinners just as the time reached for her meeting.
“Akira… baby. I have to talk with someone now… so, go on and play around with your daddy for a while. I will be quick. Once we are done, we can go home!!” Shreya said softly.
But just as they cleared the table and were about to go out, the Chairman also reached the meeting place.
Shreya shook hands with him politely. He was a middle-aged man with a stern face. He was lean and with salt and pepper hair.
“Hello, Ms. Srivastav…” He shook her hand and smiled amiably.
“Hello, Mr. Walia.” Shreya greeted him back and politely introduced around, “This is my family. This is Charan and the little one is Akira…”
Charan shook hands with Mr. Walia while Akira cutely said a firm but shy ‘hello’.
Shreya pecked both Charan and Akira before sending them off and quickly joined Mr. Walia at his table.
“Sorry about that!” Shreya apologized politely and sat back in her seat.
Mr. Walia was someone who started his business just about the same time Adithya did… and both of them respected each other greatly. Adithya looked up to him in a way. But their interests were varied.
While Adithya developed in computer and technology, Mr. Walia was someone who started with the manufacturing sector. Even though Mr. Walia came from a well-off family, he started the business from the scratch and integrated everything very later in his life.
His kids have just entered the business market from the bottom up.
Sri corp and W corp had always kept a respectable distance from each other.
Both of them kept themselves informed of each other’s progress and co-operated when needed. But never got too close nor had any animosity with each other.
It had been the same since Adithya had headed the company and Shreya followed the same.
This was the first time Shreya had actually met Mr. Walia… even though they had attended mutual business meetings, neither had ever sought the other out so explicitly before.
So, Mr. Walia was pretty shocked when he heard Shreya wanted to meet him in person. Since he had immense respect not only for Adithya but also for Shreya, he agreed.
He knew how hard is the responsibility that Shreya had heaved. He knew it from experience…
Even when he had already been in the business for several years before his own father had retired, he still struggled to keep everything together and integrate it. Obviously, the scale of things was exponentially larger than he had anticipated… and the number of people he needed to deal with in the integration was countless times higher. And the more people involved the more complications and more stress.
As someone who had been there, he really admired Shreya for handling things so naturally in spite of being thrown into the den full of wolves all of a sudden without any prior notice or preparation.
