The Help They Don’t Wanted!
“The First Time Siya Spoke About Business.”
Both men turned to look at her.
Virat Rathore (ML)
Siya, this is not your concern. (Virat’s expression darkened instantly)
Siya Mehta (FL)
(She ignored his cold tone and stepped forward)
Siya Mehta (FL)
I heard about the issue. If the problem is the revenue projections, then you need to shift the investor focus.
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
Shift the focus? (Karan raised an eyebrow)
Siya Mehta (FL)
Instead of emphasizing direct profits in the first year, show them long-term asset value growth. The land you’re acquiring for the resorts is prime property. Investors may hesitate over immediate revenue, but if you highlight the rising land prices and future returns, they might reconsider.
Virat’s expression remained unreadable, but Karan looked thoughtful.
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
Wait… (Karan murmured, pulling out his laptop)
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
If we tweak the projections to show land appreciation over five years instead of three—
Siya Mehta (FL)
It makes the deal more secure. (Siya finished)
Siya Mehta (FL)
And investors like security more than quick profits.
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
(Karan let out a low whistle)
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
Damn. That’s actually smart.
Siya’s heart pounded. Did… did he just compliment her?
Virat, however, remained silent. His eyes studied her carefully, as if seeing her in a new light for the first time.
Virat Rathore (ML)
How do you know all this? (he finally asked, his voice unreadable)
Siya met his gaze steadily.
Siya Mehta (FL)
I studied finance. I used to handle my father’s accounts before… (she trailed off, not wanting to bring up her past)
Virat didn’t respond. He simply turned to Karan.
Virat Rathore (ML)
Implement her suggestion. Now.
Karan Malhotra (Virat’s Best Friend)
Finally, something to work with. (He grabbed his laptop and rushed out of the study, leaving Siya and Virat alone)
Siya didn’t know what to expect, gratitude? Acknowledgment?
Virat Rathore (ML)
(But Virat simply leaned back in his chair, arms crossed)
Virat Rathore (ML)
You got lucky this time. ❄️
Siya’s stomach twisted. Of course. He’ll never give me credit.
Siya Mehta (FL)
Maybe. Or maybe you underestimated me. (She forced a small smile)
Virat’s eyes flickered with something.. something she couldn’t quite name.
For the first time, he didn’t have a response.
Later that evening, the Rathore mansion was quieter than usual.
Virat had been gone for hours, attending an urgent investor meeting. Siya had spent most of the time in her room, trying not to overthink her involvement in his business.
Just as she was preparing for bed, the door suddenly swung open.
Siya Mehta (FL)
You’re back. (Siya straightened)
He didn’t reply immediately. He stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
Virat Rathore (ML)
It worked..
Siya Mehta (FL)
What? (she blinked)
Virat Rathore (ML)
(Virat exhaled) Your suggestion. The investors agreed to stay. The deal is secured.
Siya’s lips parted slightly. It worked?
She had known her advice was sound, but hearing the confirmation from Virat himself… it felt surreal.
But before she could respond, he added.
Virat Rathore (ML)
Don’t think this changes anything.
Virat’s expression was unreadable as he continued.
Virat Rathore (ML)
You may have helped this once, but it doesn’t mean you belong in my world. ❄️
Siya swallowed hard. So that’s how it is?
Siya Mehta (FL)
Understood, Mr. Rathore. (She nodded slowly, forcing a neutral expression)
Virat’s jaw tightened at the formality, but he said nothing. He turned and left without another word.
As the door closed, Siya let out a slow breath.
She had earned a small victory today.
But she also realized something, no matter how much she proved herself, Virat would never let her in.
And for the first time… she wondered if she even wanted him to.
