The lift pinged, announcing the arrival of her destination.

Taking a slow breath, she unclutched her fingers and practiced her smile a few times before walking out, head held up as she sauntered between the curious looks thrown at her. In her awake, she left people whispering, wide eyes, and surprised faces which followed her movements towards the pre-occupied conference room.

She licked her lips, clenching her jaw to make the smile cold and dominating as she willed herself to enter the room filled with wolves.

"Not so soon. What do you think would happen if I died? What about our dream project? Cannot leave you hanging alone, can I?" She tried her hand at joking, as she raised a brow tilting her head at Farah, making the girl scowl but empty her seat immediately.

"Leave me hanging? Oh, you don't get to talk about it." Malvika glared but composed back to her work face. "Sit and let's continue where we left off. Rest I'll deal with you when we are alone."
