The Contract Marriage

1.

When the sunlight hit Abhimanyu across the face, the curtains in his room flew open and he was able to see the sunlight. As he moved his hand slightly to the side, he came across the naked back of the person he had conquered throughout the previous night. In order to bring her closer to him, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in.

"Abhimanyu, get up!"

That was Neil's voice that was heard. As well as being his friend, his personal assistant, and most importantly, his boy Friday.

"And tell your guest to get up and leave too."

"Neil, what is it that you want? Permit me to get some rest. In his sleep, Abhimanyu mumbled something.

The board meeting is scheduled to begin in thirty minutes. To put that into perspective, it will take you forty-five minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other. To answer your question, yes, stand up!

Not only did Neil throw clothes at his naked body, but he also threw clothes at his girlfriend. Abhimanyu awoke with a groggy feeling and took a seat on his bed. Getting out of bed, his lady friend, whose name he did not bother to remember, grabbed her clothes and started to dress herself up. He did not bother to remember her name. In order to avoid looking at a stranger who was dressing herself, Neil turned around. Abhimanyu could not care less about the situation.

She leaned in to give Abhimanyu a parting kiss on the lips as she was about to leave, but he moved his face away just in time to prevent her from fulfilling her intention. "No lip kisses." This was a rule that he never broke.

"I'll see you later?" Optimistic, she inquired.

"I don't think so." Because he did not want to give her any false hope, he responded.

The truth was, however, that he did not believe in love, relationships, or even sleeping with the same person, particularly in the case of a one-night random hookup that occurred more than once.

As Neil turned around to face his best friend, he attempted to conceal the fact that he was very unhappy. In order to confront him, Abhimanyu turned around.

"Don't give me that look."

Consume some water and take a Tylenol, as directed. Take a steamy shower, and you'll be ready to go at five o'clock. Your body reeks of s*x and alcohol. I have no doubt that the members of the board do not want the next CEO to be a drinking and s*x addict.

Before making his way to the restroom, Abhimanyu flipped Neil the bird and then proceeded to do so while exposing his naked body.

~*~ "Neil, where is he?" As he furiously threw the expenses file he was holding onto the table, Harshvardhan Birla asked the question of the situation.

"He must on his way, Sir."

According to what I told you, you should remain with him! Is there a reason you left him? "Tum toh jaante ho ki yeh ladka kitne careless hai", the speaker said.

"Yes, Sir, I do make sense of it. On the other hand, Anand sir requested that I report to the office without delay, and by the time I left, he was already riding away in his vehicle, prepared to depart.

Abhimanyu, who was dressed in jeans, a white t-shirt, a leather jacket, and dark-lensed sunglasses, entered the cabin shortly after the door to Harshvardhan's cabin opened. This occurred before Harshvardhan had the opportunity to respond to Neil with a few critical words.

"You called?"

"Do you know what time is it now?" Having become irritated by his son's behavior, Harshvardhan inquired.

"Neil, what time is it for you? My guess is that Sir's watch has stopped functioning. The question was posed in a rhetorical manner by Abhimanyu, who began by removing his glasses, folding them, and then placing them in the pocket of his jacket.

I beg you, Abhimanyu, to mature! Just one hour ago, we had a meeting of the board! It was your turn to explain to the board of directors why you should be appointed to the position of chief executive officer. To the contrary, where were you? While you are at home, you are sleeping with yet another one of your meaningless relationship partners. Do you not give any thought to the future you will have? "What should I present to the board?"

"That I am a very good and dedicated doctor."

Whether you are a good person or a dedicated one, the board does not care. The manner in which you are perceived by the general public and the amount of publicity that the hospital receives as a result of having you as its face are both important considerations. In addition to this. It is me assisting you here.

One of the newspapers was hurled across the desk by Harshvardhan. That is. With regard to the next CEO, this is precisely what the board does not want to see. When you are kicked out of a club for being too unruly, you cannot go around punching the bouncers because they are taking you out of the club.

Due to the fact that they shoved me first, I then punched them. It would have been polite of them to ask."

You had the opportunity to leave in a manner that would have been more pleasant, rather than becoming the headline of today's newspaper. Let me tell you something, Abhimanyu: the board is looking for someone who is extremely trustworthy and who will be in the news for the right reasons. It's not a bad one."

Abhimanyu assumed a defensive stance by bringing his arms around his chest and folding them.

In an effort to calm his nerves, Harshvardhan took a quick breath in and out. It's no secret that you don't like it when I interfere in your life. And I am aware of that. I'll play the role of the villain here. On the other hand, you need to clean up your act. One month from now, the board will hold a vote to determine who will succeed the current CEO. You and Parth are the only ones who can make a decision.

The mere mention of Parth's name caused Abhimanyu's lips to contract into a line that was perfectly flat.

"And you don't want Parth to become a CEO, do you?" As he made his statement, he added the last nail to the coffin.

In order to avoid making any kind of eye contact, Abhimanyu remained silent and avoided making any kind of eye contact.

"I didn't believe that to be the case. Put an end to your behavior. Right now. You should refrain from picking fights at random in bars, you should stop sleeping around like a man-w***e, and most importantly, you should stop becoming front page news. Alternately, I will have to clean up your behaviour for you. Furthermore, we are both aware of how you feel about that.

In order to depart, Abhimanyu turned around.

"Where are you going?"

"I need to attend to patients," she said. Even if I don't end up becoming a CEO, I will still strive to be the most outstanding cardiac surgeon in the area. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have clients who require my assistance.

As soon as that was finished, Abhimanyu left the cabin that Harshvardhan Birla was sharing with him.

"Do you realize how he communicates with me? I am his father, for crying out loud.

"Yes sir." In an effort to avoid the abrupt lecture that he was going to receive regardless, Neil lowered his head towards the ground.

Neil, you have to make sure that you keep a tight rein on him. There is no more room for him to make mistakes.

"I am aware of that, Sir. "I will give it my all."

Not even a try, Neil. If you want to rule over the best, you have to do what it takes to be the best.

"Sir..." Neil shook his head.

"What?"

"I am thinking of something. I have no idea if Abhimanyu will find it appealing, but it has the potential to be successful.

Regardless of what Abhimanyu desires, it is irrelevant. What exactly is the plan?

"I am familiar with this business. Those who offer their services. Keeping oneself hidden. Also, it is very good at what it does. In the eyes of the media, Abhimanyu is portrayed as a brash, rude, and playboy. And we are both aware that he has no intention of ever settling down.

"And?"

"However, what if we were to make him a well-rounded, family-oriented individual who is associated with philanthropy and all the good in the world, has a steady girlfriend, and possibly even gets married? For his benefit, we are able to create a relationship that is widely publicized.

"You are absolutely correct. It makes no difference what Abhimanyu does behind closed doors as long as the public is aware of it or gets a whiff of it.

Exactly, sir. However...

"However, such a change will have to be made gradually. As a result, it is possible that you will need to exert pressure on the board to postpone the vote by at least a few weeks.

"That is the issue I have. I'll take care of it. You are responsible for finding a girlfriend for Abhimanyu and convincing him to support this plan.

"Yes, sir."

After leaving the room, Neil allowed Harshvardhan Birla to wander off in his own thoughts and then left the room. Having a conversation about the contract girlfriend was one thing, but the challenge was going to be to find a woman who would not be easily charmed or phased by Abhimanyu. The most important thing, however, was to persuade Abhimanyu that he would be agreeable to this contractual relationship. And he was certainly aware that it was not going to be an easy task.
