Sanju bathed and came downstairs, slowly making her way to the dining table. She looked visibly pale and drained as she sat for breakfast.

Kowsalya noticed immediately and asked with concern, "Sanju, is everything okay? You look exhausted, dear."

"There's a lot of work at the office," Sanju replied weakly. "I haven't had time to relax at all."

"Okay," Kowsalya nodded, her voice softening. "Sir has instructed that you should eat a lot of vegetables and soup too. So complete your food and take some rest."

Sanju managed to eat a little before returning to her room. She lay down and soon drifted back to sleep, her body demanding the rest she had been denying it.

At the ARC office, Aryan wrapped up a few important calls and reviewed some documents. Once done, he left for the tender meet along with Ranjith. This project was massive worth 100 crores and several companies had turned up with hopes of winning it. The client was planning to build multiple colleges across the state, making this deal highly competitive.

As Aryan entered the hall minutes before the results were to be announced, he noticed Chandrasekar already present, seated with Nanda. Aryan greeted them politely.

"Good morning, Sir," Aryan said.

Chandrasekar gave a brief nod in return.

Just then, Maya appeared, walking confidently towards them. She threw her arms around her father in a side hug, then turned toward Aryan with a smirk.

"So, Mr. Aryan," she said smugly. "Why waste your time here? This project is going to be DC Group's for sure."

Aryan raised an eyebrow. "So confident, Ms. Maya?"

"Yes," she replied, crossing her arms. "Better you leave now. I still don't want to see your sad face."

Aryan smiled calmly. "You don't have to worry. Business is not new to me. ARC doesn't rely on any single project. Anyway, all the best."

"Thank you," she said with sarcasm. "I wish I could return the regards, but... why disappoint you?"

"Maya, let's go take our seats and wait for the results," Chandrasekar said, trying to end the conversation.

Everyone settled down. Moments later, the customer and his team walked onto the stage.

"Thank you all for being here," the customer began. "We'll now begin opening the bids. As stated, the lowest quote will win the project."

His assistant began unsealing the quotation envelopes, calling out each figure to the crowd. The anticipation in the room was thick.

"Next quotation is from DC Groups of Companies," the assistant announced. "The quoted amount is 102.50 crores."

Chandrasekar turned abruptly to Nanda, shocked.

"Nanda, this was not the amount we quoted! What nonsense is this?"

"That was the revised quote done by Maya madam," Nanda answered nervously.

Chandrasekar looked at Maya in disbelief. "Maya, why did you do this?"

"I know exactly what I did," Maya replied confidently. "Just watch we're going to seal this project."

The assistant continued, "Next and final quotation is from ARC. The quoted amount is 101 crores."
