I emerged from the kitchen, gathering everything up. Savitri Maa was also with me, but she had left for the room just a while ago, I mean, she left when I insisted. It's not like I was alone; there were staff members with me.
I had just reached the dining area to wipe my hands when the doorbell rang. Glancing at the time, it was quarter to ten. "Who could it be at this hour?" I felt a twinge of fear, but then I thought, 'This is the Singhania mansion, what could possibly happen here?'
As I walked towards the door to open it, a staff member stopped me and went to open it himself, saying, "Ma'am, please wait, I'll open it." I simply nodded and smiled.
When the door opened, there stood a man dressed in a suit, holding a bag in his hand. He began talking to the staff member with a smile, who also bowed to him before the man put his hand on the staff member's shoulder and entered.
I just narrowed my eyes, watching him closely. When he looked at me, his smile widened even more, and I must admit, I felt a bit intimidated. Trusting my instincts, I took a couple of steps back; I still get nervous around new people.
