Raj went towards his office, and was very tense as he grew closer to his office. He reached his room door and then waited for a moment to get his breath back. He then went inside & the secretary told him to go in the room as Mr. Vikram had been waiting for him for a long time. He knocked at the door & the usual dominant voice summoned him in. There he saw that his master was sitting with another guy of the same age on the couch and having a drink. Raj could make out that he wasn't a business associate, but a friend of his. Vickram introduced Raj to his friend in a way that Raj found very uncomfortable. He told him that he was his new personal butler and would be ready to fulfill each of his wish. This sentence made Raj to think, as he could make out that there was something fishy,but he could not help it as he was in a do-or-die state and he knew that how badly he needed this job. And to top up the mess he was in, the video of his interview was with the G.M., who had now given it to the new boss. Taking advantage of that, they could black mail him for life and Raj could not do anything because if he tried to tell anyone, they would come to know of his "other" abilities than those he had of serving. So, he simply smiled and said "Yes Sir". Vickram told Raj that he could take an off till about 7.30 p.m. but should report at about 7.45 p.m.,as there was a party and he had to be serving there. He was told the venue and also that he had to reach there in time as he had to serve him and his friends there. He was then dismissed and reminded before leaving to be in time and if he didn't, it wouldn't be good for him. So, he meekly agreed and left. He kept on thinking about what would he be in for now. He was very nervous and worried about the evening. He thought that he would be in for some more embarrassment as now Vickram knew how to blackmail him and could make him do anything.
