The ShowOffs - Part 4

The colour of Sonia's face matched her red chiffon salwar suit.  "You know what you are saying! Tarnish the image I built for my daughter for your stupid movie! No way! ", she spilled out her anger, controlling the tone of voice.

When two head weight people argue, sparks bound to happen. But RK didn't want to lose Simran. She was perfect for the role. He had to make this work.  RK controlled the temper building within him. "Simran's image will not be affected. This is just promotional gimmick for the movie. After the movie is released, Simran and Rajveer will move in different direction. Now every actors and actress are involved break ups and link ups.", he said calmly.

"Simran is not a common actress. She is a gem.", Sonia argued politely. "What if I tell you, I will promise you 50% profits of the movie if you accept my proposal.", he smartly bribed her. Sonia stared at him as she thought deeply. RK  patted his back in mind. He was sure she would accept his idea.

"Ok!", she said. He cheered himself for the victory in mind. He had almost waltzed in his room towards his favorite drink in his mind. But she wasn't finished. "But I have a condition.", she said. In quick second, he waltzed back to the reality. He was nervous. What was the condition. He wanted to bite his nails. For the first time, he was on the other side of table. But this was Sonia. Who could win over her?

"My condition is that if the movie works, you give me 60% profit but if it doesn't work, you give me 80% profit of the movie.", she said confidently. RK thought. If he agreed now, he wouldn't be able to bend down her conditions. But he had no option. He had to either agree or forgo Simran. After much thought, he agreed defeatedly.

Sonia relieved a sigh with a smile. She had whisked off the opportunity from RK'S hands. She thanked her naive daughter for bringing him to her.
