Karan finds it hard to believe that the famous businessman Mr.Arora is standing in his restaurant. When Sanjay hurriedly introduces him to Mr.Arora, he finds it too overwhelming to stand still. Does it how it feel to meet someone who feels comfortable in their own skin?

His surprise takes a greater turn when Mr.Arora forwards his hand for a handshake. He wipes his hands on his shirt before he takes the hand and shakes it, it feels like his heart is shaking more than his hand right now. 

"If you don't mind, can we talk in private? Actually, it's about business." Mr.Arora has taken an oath to give him shockers one after another. 

Business? What business can he possibly have with Karan? Karan is anything but a man who can be spotted in the same circle as Mr.Arora, he isn't someone that Mr.Arora should associate with either. He belongs to the bottom of the food chain while the rich businessman in front of him belongs to the top. However, he can't control his beating heart. Has the man heard about his catering? Does he want him to supply food to his company? Anticipation is running thick in his body as he nods his head at the businessman.

"Sure, Mr.Arora. It would be more than a pleasure for me." Karan replies enthusiastically, not knowing what is actually cooking in the billionaire's head. 

"What business is he talking about?" Kairav mumbles to himself.

Mr.Arora doesn't have any business plan that can require help from a rundown restaurant like this. Kairav thinks to himself. 

"You don't have to run your little head, Mr.secretary." Kairav glares at the man. 

"I possess a brain unlike you, ghostie. So, yeah, I can think as much as I want." He retorts to the man before focusing on Karan and Vikram.

"You-" 

"Shhh." Kairav cuts him off. He just wants to listen to what they are talking about. 

"This way, please." Karan leads him into a small room, located next to the kitchen. It's a little resting room for the employees. 

"How is your family, Mr.Mehta?"

Now, Karam definitely didn't expect a personal question from Vikram. They have met for the first time so it's only natural to feel awkward upon being asked a question like that. It's another thing that he doesn't find it comfortable to talk about his family to anyone. Even his best friend doesn't know much about his family life. 

"Umm…. They are fine, Mr.Arora. Thanks for asking." Karan manages to reply somehow.

"Well, that's good to hear that they are good." Vikram smiles.

"Please, take a seat." Karan says, patting a chair, making sure it's clean before Vikram sits on it.

"When you don't even have a family." 

All the colors drain out of his face upon hearing Vikram. How did he know what? Karan hasn't spoken about his family life to anyone so how come a stranger, a very rich and powerful stranger knows about his family life? Sweat beads appear on his forehead as he stares at the man in shock.
