“May I come in?” was a sweet voice.
Yes.”
She entered the chamber and wished him.
She was a tall girl, ruddy complexion and charming face and ravishing in her modern dress.
Sivasankar showed her seat and she sat on the seat conveying her thanks to him.
Then she closed her eyes as if she was meditating deeply. Then without opening her eyes, she began telling him the problem he faced. Then, she spoke:” Don’t ask anything about me. It is needless to you now. Follow what I say. You intend to bribe one lakh to the corrupted officer but you need not give such amount to the Export Officer but fifty per cent to the person who is going to make him sign on the documents. I don’t need your money or any help. But strictly follow what I say.”
