Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 360: Project RENAISSANCE

360 Project RENAISSANCE

Akira went back to her seat and opened her laptop all absentmindedly.

She was still lost in thinking and reflecting on what David had just said. She was wondering if his statement had any hidden meaning for her to comprehend since David was always crafty with his words.

The more she thought, the more she felt like she was getting lost.

So she jerked off all the thoughts from her head and then gathered up all her concentration.

Taking a couple of deep breaths she conjured all her might and then called up Vikram from her regular sim card.

"Hello Vikram"

"Hi there !!!"

"Hii"

"How are you?", he asked while looking at the agreement file lying in front of his desk.

"I am dandy. What about you?"

"I am good too. Hey, Listen regarding the new project, all the paperwork is done. So I was thinking maybe I could drop by to your office this evening to get the papers signed. Are you free?"

"Well, actually I called you about that only. The thing is I saw the final draft of the agreement and I sent it across my legal team as well. So they re-read it. I mean the version that you had sent earlier to us and they wanted to have some minor corrections here and there."

"What corrections are you talking about?"

"Well, first of all, we are changing the name of the project for starters."

"Why change the name all of a sudden?"

"Well it basically the project hasn't been launched in the market yet and we thought that the old name wasn't that suitable for the project. So we are going to rename it as RENAISSANCE. I even like the sound of it. don't you? It has got that nice edge to it."

"Seriously Akira, you are going to change the name at this stage. I mean you have already signed a couple of deals with other companies right."

"Aahh... nothing to worry. My legal department is already handling that. We have already received newly signed agreements from other companies like Azmer Group."

"I see. So what other changes are there included in the agreement?", Vikram asked because somehow he wasn't convinced that it was just about the change of the project name.

Ever since Akira had come back from London, she seemed more distant. And he had no idea of what was going on inside the head of hers.

"Some other terms are also there. My legal department will be sending the modified agreement to your legal team by today evening. So maybe we can meet after a day or two to get done with it?"

Vikram paused for a second and then said,

"Sure thing. Not an issue at all. But not sure how and why the legal terms need to be changed all of a sudden by your team."

"Well actually we have appointed a new legal head and since he is a very experienced person, he wanted to add some extra clauses into the agreement, in favor of our company, in case the project tanks. I mean you know countermeasures sort of a thing."

"Ok, I understood."Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?Please click for visiting.

"Great !!! Then we are on the same page then", Akira said happily.

"Yup pretty much."

"Sounds swell to me then."

"So do you have any free time today? It's been long that we have met."

"Yeah, even I feel the same. I don't feel good after ditching you at the airport yesterday. Sorry about that again. But today also my schedule is packed. Maybe we can meet when you come over for signing the deal to my office? Lunch will be on me that day."

Vikram heard every single word that he spoke and tried to gauge her emotions. Something was off about her mannerisms. But he couldn't tell what. There was no way in which she could have known about the changes in the agreement that he had asked to be done by Peter. So a change in the deal could merely be a coincidence.

Suppressing all the burning questions in his head, he said,

"Yeah sure. I know you have been very busy lately with the new project coming up."

"Yeah totally."

Then looking at his watch Vikram asked,

"Aren't you hungry? Go and eat something. It's almost lunchtime. Do not dare to skip your meals."

"Haha, I won't..."

"By the way, I wanted to ask one thing. How is Katherine's project coming up?"

"Ahh, the construction has finished. The building is completely ready. They are in the process of procuring medicines and?hospital-related all furniture and are recruiting staff members."

"I see."

"Should be operational by next Monday, because that's the day she is hoping to inaugurate it. She will be sending you a personal invitation too. After all, you were the one who helped it make possible for her."
