Chapter 3

I Love NYC

Avni was received by Mr. McKinley’s assistant, who was responsible to take her to the hotel, where a room was booked for her stay. A Luxury suit that was decked to perfection, Mr McKinley surely knows how to treat his associates. 15 hours of travel were ruthless on Avni's back, she slept like a baby for the next 9 hours. She woke with a phone call at around 7 in the morning, it was her mom. “ you were supposed to give me a call once you reach, do u realize I have had so many sleepless nights because of your business trips?” Her mother was furious yet right. So Avni decided to not say anything that can add fuel to the flames. While talking to her she realized that she has a meeting with Mr. McKinley within two hours. She told her mother that she has some urgent work and disconnect the phone to run towards the bathroom. In an hour she was ready for the meeting, white shirt with a black pencil fit skirt and black stilettos were perfect for the occasion. Her pearl necklace and subtle makeup were giving that perfect finishing touch to her look. She looked amazing and felt confident, many heads turned to have a look at this new Asian beauty in the city and Avni just couldn't stop enjoying the attention. The meeting was perfect and so was Avni’s day; after a long time she felt really complete and as she walked down the road to grab a coffee serendipity made its way in her life. Steve, a tall blue-eyed stranger with a contagious smile. This is what he was to her but little did she knew that he is a new beginning, a second chance for love.
