I Will Never Be Yours

Chapter 24

Narrator's POV

Aayan is confused to see the Thapar's glaring at the two men who just entered the room

He couldn't make out who were they, as their back was facing him

Arjun, Adi and Sash compose their expressions and are back to their professional auras, but Ved couldn't do it, he glanced at Aayan's direction, who was clueless, like others in the meeting room..

The men follow Ved's gaze and look back at whom he is staring at

As soon as they turn around, they turn out to be Aayan's worst people, whom he hates more than anyone else, even more than his parents

He balls his hands into fist, and scowl could be easily seen on his face

As it's a reflector glass, Mr. Singhal and his son couldn't really see who is behind the glass, but knew that someone was there...

'Is there a problem young man...?' Prateek Singhal, Aayan's step father asks in his classic arrogant tone

Ved glares at him, and was about to give him a witty reply, but he was stopped by his father, who gestured him to continue with the presentation

'No Sir... ' Ved replies controlling his anger

Prateek and Sameer Singhal take their seats and the presentation starts

After a few minutes Ved shuts down the slides and looks pissed off

'I am sorry gentlemen, I can't.... ' He says

Prateek Singhal smirks at this, while Aayan on the other side of glass wall, was fighting his urge not to lose his patience or worst cry

Arjun rises from his seat and grabs Ved's Arms

'Please Excuse us Gentlemen... '
Arjun said and dragged Ved out of the meeting room, Sash takes Ved's place and Adi follows the father - son duo

Arjun drags Ved inside the cabin, and Aayan rises up from his seat, controlling his emotions, keeping an even face

'What are you doing Ved, do you realise what kind of first impression you are making in front of the investors !  You are the heir of E market, you have to maintain the goodwill....' Arjun scolds him

'I don't need any investment from Singhals in our company Dad... ' Ved says angrily

'Singhals are just the part of the panel, son, like your father is... They hardly have any stake...' Adi tries to calm Ved down

Ved's anger is like an Volcano, which hardly bursts... But when it does, it's disastrous... 

Arjun was well aware of this, Ved's anger was like Naina, while Vansh was short tempered like him...

He was thinking of a way to calm Ved down, as his anger can bring huge loss to the company...

'Really, then Why are they here...?' Ved counters

'You need to calm down son, you worked really hard for this project.. You need this investment for convincing the stakeholders that you are fit to run this company, so that you can take E market to the next level, like we always wanted... ' Adi says

Aayan was very quiet during all this

'Aayan beta, please ask him to calm down, your best friend is compromising his dreams for this petty thing... ' Arjun requests Aayan

Aayan takes a deep breath and walks towards Ved

'Bro, you hate them because of Me... ' Aayan begins but the door opens and Prateek and Sameer Singhal walk in
