Anamika- The broken beauty novel Chapter 12

Authors pov

Massimo was sitting in the meeting room with a deadly look on his face. He was leaning back in his chair with his thumb on his chin waiting for meeting the to start. He knew that the firm's owner will lie and talk rubbish to save his ass. It's nothing new for him, he just wanted to hear what kind of creative way lie would he use to save his ass. It's fun for him to watch people lying when he knows the truth.

Nick was sitting beside him, his playful look was long gone. He was looking at the firms owner with a murderous glare, afterall killing is his passion. Massimo's men were standing against the wall straight with their hands on their chest like statues.

They were all sitting at a big round wooden table and Mr. Miller (firm's owner) was sitting in front of them terrified. His forehead sweating and he was continuously wiping it with his white handkerchief. Thankfully he didn't knew that Massimo is a mafia king, he only knows him as a ruthless businessman, otherwise he would have got a heartattack by now.

But it's not only that, he is scared because he has to deal with her too. If Massimo is ruthless then she is not any less either. He knows he messed up with two powerful people.

When his assistant told him that Anamika is attending the meeting too, he was terrified. He knew that she is a powerful women and she won't take things lightly, atleast not regarding her business. That's why he decided to blame the market conditions and save himself. He knows what she can do and what she is capable off. She can make him disappear from the corporate world like he never existed. Yes! she is that powerful, he has been  doing business with her for years now. He knew that he fucked up.

The door of the meeting room opened and four figures walked in. Miller was the first one to notice them. Anamika walked in like a queen with her head high and fearless expressions. She looked like a dark Angel.

She was the first one to notice Massimo, he was still looking at Mr. Miller with murderous glare and didn't noticed her. Her heart skipped a beat looking at him and her eyes widened. She never thought that she will meet him again like this. Her heart was racing like she is running a marathon, her throat went dry but she quickly hid it composing herself and decided to avoid him like he is not sitting there. She changed her expression into a cold one and acted like she didn't know him.

As soon as she entered the room, Mr. Miller stood up and greeted her.

"Hello Miss. Sahay, it's nice to have you here..."

His voice was dry, he cleared his throat and gave her a small smile.

She just nodded at him, her bodyguards stood against the wall behind her and Mr. Scott sat beside her.

When Mr. Miller greeted her Massimo looked at the person to whom he was greeting and when he saw that person he leaned forward with a lightning speed and his heart stopped beating for a moment making his world freeze. His eyes narrowed at her and he looked at her carefully. He was making sure if it's real or just his imagination messing up with him. She nodded at Miller and sat down on the chair in front of him. He was shocked, She is real, the woman he has been searching for the past 6 months like a madman is sitting in front of him, looking like a fucking queen.

His mind stopped working, he wasn't thinking straight. He forgot what is happening in the room and why he was there. He got so lost looking at her.

Mr. Miller's voice broke his bubble and he came back to reality. His expression quickly changed from a shocking one to cold one.

"So ladies and gentlemen let's start the meeting..."

Miller said in his professional voice.

He started explaining himself, how he lost their money due to the market conditions and competitors strategies and bla bla...

Massimo was not listening to him he was only looking at her. Her face was expressionless and her plump lips were set in straight line. She was too focused on whatever that stupid man was saying.

While Massimo was angry and confused at the same time. Angry because she left him like that and confused because she is behaving like she doesn't know him. 'Why is she behaving like this' he thought.

"So this is what happened, Mr. Marino.. Miss. Sahay... I am so sorry for your loss..."

He said like shameless a person

Anamika was listening his words carefully unlike Massimo. She was listening to him when he was gracefully lying, she would have believed him if she didn't knew the truth already.

She has listened to his rubbish for an hour and now it was her time to give him a reality check.

"Is that what really happened Mr. Miller ?... Are you sure ?..."

She asked him in her cold voice And he visibly gulped. His forehead started sweating again, the expensive air conditioners didn't helped a bit.

"Y...Yes Miss. S..sahay... Why,.... is there any p.. problem?..."

He asked stuttering, somewhere in his mind he knew that he got caught but decided to play oblivious.

Massimo looked at him when he stuttered.

'Why the fuck is he stuttering and shaking while talking to her? There is so much fear in his eyes, is he scared of her?...but Why? ...Who is she?'

All these questions were hitting his mind like a storm, he decided to stay quiet watching what happened next.

"Yes Mr. Miller there is a problem... Actually, no you are in problem..."

She said and he visibly shook.

"W...what happened Miss Sahay?... "

he asked again stuttering

"Care to explain this Mr. Miller..."

She said and threw all the files on the table one by one. Miller picked up the files and read it. All the colours from his face drained and his eyes nearly popped out from their socket. It was his firms internal information which exposed all his lies that he spewed now.

She started shooting questions at him like an arrow. Her voice hard and rude, anger was clearly visible in her eyes as she exposed his every lie in front of him. Miller was dumbfounded 'how the fuck does she knows about it' he thought to himself. He was going to faint anytime now, his world was spinning on her every word. He realised that he got caught and now he will have to face the consequences.

"M..miss. S...sahay... I am..."
