Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 436
Advertisement
As Akira arrived at her office, she could see a couple of press vans already parked outside the company premises.
There was one more hour to go before the press conference.
Taking a deep breath she went inside all determined.
On the other side of the line, Vikram was all eagerly waiting for the press conference, expecting it to be in for of the new project into which he had invested. So he decided to call her up and wish her luck, but all his calls went unanswered.
He didn't bother much thinking that she might be busy with the preparations.
On the other hand, Akira called up a quick meeting and checked up on all the stats before going to the press conference.
With her chocolate brown suit dress, she looked like a boss lady as she entered the conference room where the reporters were waiting for her. With each clickety-clack of her stilettoes, she garnered the attention of every single being present in that meeting room. There was a gracious yet straight look on her face like she meant nothing but business, but deep down only she knew what this facade was all about.
It was all about revenge.
It was all about payback.
As David looked at her, he knew that she was ready, ready to tear Vikram all apart.
She took a deep breath and looked at David, who gave her a small nod like he was telling her to go for it. So she braced her face with a smile and began the battle of words.
"Ladies and gentlemen !!!"
"It gives me immense pleasure to inform you all that our company Delphie International is going to launch one of the most awaited game of this year after two months and today we are going to reveal the first look of our game."

Saying that Akira pointed towards a huge board which was covered with white silk cloth and as she directed, the cloth was pulled down to reveal a huge poster of Project MEDUSA.
Claps !!!
Shutter Clicks !!!
Flash !!!
There was a huge uproar and the entire room was filled with cheers and photographers started clicking pictures of the new poster endlessly. After all, it was the most awaited game of the season and was touted as the biggest ever release by Delphie.
People started throwing questions about what and how and Akira was answering them all in a calm and patient demeanor even though her heart was racing, knowing that she had snubbed and stabbed Vikram in one go.
The whole thing was being telecasted live.
Sitting comfortably in his chair, Vikram was also tuned into his television to see the live telecast of the press conference.
A smug smile was spread all across his face, the moment he saw Akira, enter the room. He was happy and proud to see her carrying herself in such a poised and gracious way. That lady, whom everyone was admiring in the room, was soon going to be his girl. Just that thought itself made him happy.
But that happiness didn't last long.
The moment the poster was revealed, he was shocked to see the name of the game. That was so not the poster that he was expecting to see. He was baffled up. His jaws tightened and his fist was clenched in an instant and his face turned all cold.
He turned towards Peter who was equally surprised and asked him controlling his temper,
"Can you explain to me, what the hell is going on?"
Gulping his spit, Peter looked at the screen and then looking at Vikram he said,
"I am sorry Vikram, I have no idea about this. Maybe this is something else that they are planning to do. I seriously have no idea what is going on."

He said calmly looking straight at her. What was she supposed to say after hearing his words?'I did not mean to touch your highness's ...' she said with great difficulty.'That was not a touch.' He said not permitting her to brush it off as an accident, even though it clearly was.'It was a kiss.' He said with a hoarse determined voice.She widened her eyes, as her face flushed even more than it did when she realized what she had done. He dared to say the word she avoided.'That was not! I...' she tried to refute. 'What is a kiss Celia?' She could not answer. How could she say the definition of a kiss with her own mouth, it would only confirm his words.*'It was an accident. I am truly sorry, I did not mean any discourtesy towards your highness. If I can make up for my error somehow?' She quickly said.

He must have felt insulted.'Please don't call it an accident. For a first kiss of a person to be called an accident ...' He said again with a dejected tone, but did not continue. It was like he had already gotten his point across.'Ahhh. I am so sorry! It really was an ...' She wanted to say accident but, because of his pleading she could not actually say it. To have committed the blame of taking the king's first kiss and then not acknowledging it, how would he think of her?At this point she did not even realize that their roles had reversed, or that it was her first kiss also.PS: If you like loyal mates... then please proceed further :D
