Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

431 In a day or two

"What is with this sudden dinner party invitation, Peter?"

Vikram asked looking at the email.

"I am not sure. But it's a piece of floating news that these days he hasn't been keeping good health."

"Well, I just hope that the party is a harbinger of good news. I need to settle my ties right with him, which I have severed once."

"This is the right opportunity for you then. Before he decides to give his company to his public trust or his daughter, maybe you can step in and ask for a role in the Joint Board."

"He has a daughter?"

"No one knows. She is an estranged daughter. She left him when she was young. But that's just what people think. Maybe she is back to take care of his business. But as per my inside information, there is no such information. And recently I have heard that he is transferring the ownership of all the small companies owned to the main company trust."

"And why do you think, he will give me a role in the Joint Board?"

Peter smiled and then crossing his hands, he leaned on the wall and said,

"He is a visionary. His dream was to raise his company to great heights. He is a ruthless businessman. Even after the death of his wife, he didn't waste a day in mourning. So don't you think that such a man will be worried about the fate of his company."

"What are you trying to insinuate?"

"Maybe we can give him an unofficial proposal for a merger. He knows your reputation and your business acumen. So maybe he will give a thought to add you into the core group. I have prepared a study report on their recent production venture MadXLabs. You can give some ideas and impress him."

"Are you always this prepared?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

"Well, not as much as you are. I have learned everything from you. Also, you can tell him about your recent venture into the new gaming project RENAISSANCE. He might be interested to hear about your credibility. He basically has no heir right now. So maybe he will be interested in having people in the core committee who are visionary and ambitious like him and... "

"And shrewd like him. Is that what you wanted to say?"

Vikram said and smiled.

Peter smiled and then said,

"By the way, I have heard that Akira is holding a press conference tomorrow morning. I am assuming it will be about the release of?project?RENAISSANCE. So this press conference will be of added advantage."

"Looks like everything is falling into place. lady luck will soon shine on us."

Vikram said and looked at Peter all happily.

"Well, you might not want to miss this opportunity to take Akira with you to this dinner party. She is a well-known businesswoman and if Mr. Sebastian gets to know about your alliance with Delphie then he might be further impressed."

"Well, indeed we will be the power couple at the event."

Saying that Vikram smiled all smugly and then said,

"Let me call her up and see if she has received the invite or not."

[Meanwhile at Dr. Oshana's place]

"Look Oshana, I do not have a personal vendetta against you, unlike you. So I want everything to be dealt with peacefully."

"No personal vendetta? Then were those threat calls hoax? Why would you coax Dr. Nelson to do such a thing? Why would you set me up?"

"We just wanted to know the truth. That is all. We just wanted to know about the why factor."

Dr. Oshana was still not convinced. She was feeling all cornered by the two.

Akira looked all helplessly at Dr. Nelson and he just gave her a nod to calm down. Then getting up from his seat, Dr. Nelson said,

"We totally understand that what you did was under pressure. Probably anyone would have done that to protect their honor and job. What we wanted, was to stop the wrong medication and the wrong diagnosis. That's all. Nothing more than that."

Dr. Oshana looked up at him and said,

"Really?"

"Yes, really. But somehow things became all tangential. And we have ended up like this."

"Like what?"

"Like you running out in the open with a scalpel," Akira muttered.

Dr. Oshana stared at her and then said,

"I am not talking with you right now. So please do not give your valuable inputs."

Akira cursed her under her breath and looked at Dr. Nelson who shrugged his shoulder and said,

"Look Oshana. We do not want anything else from you. We just wanted to know who was behind this. Now that we know and now that we have stopped the medication, we have nothing to do with you. Just pretend that everything is normal for a day or two. After that just forget that we even existed in your life. Our paths will never cross."

"What is going to happen in a day or two?"
