SUPREME TYCOON SYSTEM

Chapter 4: Viraj, You Forced Me to Do This!

Chapter 4: Viraj, You Forced Me to Do This!

“Riya, if the wedding has been cancelled, then let it remain cancelled.”

Tanya Mehra tried to console her friend.

“There is no shortage of men better than Viraj in this world. If he is leaving you, then it is his loss—not yours.”

Tanya had been standing nearby, so she had heard everything the courier agent said.

It gave her an excellent opportunity to provoke Riya’s wounded pride even further.

With a mysterious smile, she said, “Didn’t you tell me that Arjun Mehta has been trying to get close to you for quite some time?”

“In my opinion, he is far better than Viraj.”

“There is nothing like that. Stop talking nonsense.”

Riya suddenly returned to her senses and nervously denied Tanya’s words.

However, the guilt concealed within her voice was unmistakable.

Arjun Mehta was one of Viraj’s old friends.

Several months ago, Viraj had gone to dinner with some friends. During that dinner, he introduced Riya to Arjun.

Arjun was handsome, and anyone could tell from his clothes that he belonged to a wealthy family.

His father owned a large construction business, and his family possessed several properties throughout the city.

After dinner, Riya and Arjun exchanged phone numbers.

They soon began chatting on W******p.

Their conversations were ordinary at first.

But gradually, they started sharing every minor detail of their daily lives.

Arjun possessed a good sense of humor.

He knew how to make conversation and frequently made Riya laugh.

Sometimes, he even made suggestive jokes before teasing her further after seeing her reaction.

Compared with Viraj, conversations with Arjun felt far more exciting.

Viraj always discussed his job, savings, and future responsibilities.

Arjun, on the other hand, spoke about parties, cars, luxury hotels, and international travel.

Even yesterday, while Viraj was sitting in the coffee shop discussing their wedding arrangements, Riya had been chatting with Arjun on her phone.

“Stop pretending in front of me.”

Tanya smiled knowingly.

“I already understand everything.”

“If Arjun isn’t interested in you, why did he ask only for your number after dinner?”

“Why didn’t he ask for mine?”

“And why does he chat with you for so long every day?”

Tanya leaned forward and looked into her eyes.

“Tell me the truth. You like him a little too, don’t you?”

“If you weren’t interested in him, you wouldn’t talk to him every day.”

“No, it isn’t like that.”

Riya defended herself.

“I simply think he is a good person.”

“I enjoy talking to him, but that doesn’t mean I like him.”

“Feeling good about someone is the beginning of liking them.”

Tanya continued, “And what does Arjun lack?”

“He is handsome, he knows how to talk, and most importantly—he has money.”

“If you were with him, you could purchase any luxury handbag you wanted.”

She glanced mockingly at Riya’s handbag.

“You wouldn’t have to spend an entire year with someone like Viraj, who cannot even buy you one decent luxury bag.”

Riya’s thoughts were already in turmoil.

After listening to Tanya, her resolve became completely unstable.

She hesitantly asked, “But wouldn’t that be wrong?”

“Arjun and Viraj are old friends. If we encounter Viraj in the future, wouldn’t the situation become extremely awkward?”

“How would that be your fault?”

Tanya answered immediately.

“Viraj was the one who told you to leave his life yesterday.”

“He cancelled the wedding.”

“He even packed your belongings and sent them away.”

“He was the first to behave cruelly, not you.”

She placed a hand on Riya’s shoulder.

“You are simply choosing your own happiness. What is wrong with that?

“And even if you meet Viraj in the future, he should be the one who feels embarrassed.”

“You must show him that if he doesn’t want you, there are countless men better than him who are ready to have you.”

After thinking for several moments, Riya said, “Fine. I’ll consider it.”

“What is there to consider?”

Tanya spoke excitedly.

“Your relationship will never progress if you continue chatting only on W******p.”

“Your feelings will grow only after you start meeting in person.”

“Message him right now and ask him to meet you tomorrow.”

Riya looked at the dark sky visible outside the mall.

“It is already quite late. Would it be appropriate to message him now? This is the perfect time.”

Tanya smiled.

“The two of you can go on a night drive, enjoy the city lights, eat something late at night, and speak openly.”

“That is how people grow closer.”

Tanya’s suggestion seemed reasonable to Riya.

She took out her phone and opened her conversation with Arjun.

Arjun had invited her out that very evening. However, a small part of Riya still wanted to preserve her relationship with Viraj, so she had not given him a clear answer.

But now?

Viraj had sent her belongings home.

He had posted a W******p status announcing the cancellation of their wedding.

He had even blocked her number.

If he doesn’t care about me, why should I restrain myself because of him?

Riya sent Arjun a message—

Riya: Are you free tomorrow night? Let’s go somewhere.

A trace of hesitation arose within her after sending it.

But her wounded pride immediately suppressed that hesitation.

A cold light appeared in her eyes.

“Viraj, you forced me to do this!”

The Next Day

On Monday morning, Viraj Agnihotri arrived at his company.

The office was as busy as ever.

Employees were switching on their computers. Some were drinking tea, while others sat in their chairs cursing Monday morning.

With a calm expression, Viraj scanned his ID card at the attendance machine.

There was no fear on his face over rejecting his manager’s calls the previous day.

Sitting inside his cabin, Rakesh Sharma watched Viraj arrive.

Anger erupted within him when he saw Viraj’s calm expression and faint smile.

He looks extremely happy right now.

Let’s see where that smile disappears to in a few minutes!

Rakesh rose from his chair, opened his cabin door, and shouted, “Viraj! Come into my cabin!”

Hearing his voice, the nearby employees exchanged glances.

Amit Verma, who sat at the desk beside Viraj, leaned closer and whispered, “Viraj, be careful.”

“Rakesh Sir has been waiting for you since morning. Judging by his expression, he is planning to give you a serious scolding today.”

“Don’t worry.”

Viraj smiled and walked toward Rakesh’s cabin without fear.

He knew exactly why Rakesh was angry.

Viraj had rejected his call on his day off.

He had neither called back nor gone to the office to work overtime.

Previously, Viraj would report to the office after receiving a single call—even on his days off. Because of that, Rakesh had mistaken his diligence for weakness.

The moment Viraj entered the cabin, Rakesh angrily began, “Viraj, how many times did I call you yesterday—”

But before he could finish, Viraj removed the ID card hanging around his neck and placed it on the desk.

Rakesh’s words stopped midway.

He stared at the ID card in astonishment.

“What is the meaning of this?”

“It doesn’t mean anything special.”

Viraj casually shrugged.

“If you called me here because I refused to answer your call for unpaid overtime on my day off, please have the company dismiss me.”

“I’ll leave my ID card right here.”

Rakesh stared at him for several seconds.

He had never expected the habitually silent Viraj to speak to him this way.

“Do you believe this company cannot function without you?”

“I never said that.”

Viraj calmly replied, “But if the company wants to dismiss me, it must provide proper notice and compensation according to the law.”

“If the company terminates me without a valid reason, I will file a complaint with the Labour Department.”

“My records of working overtime for the past three years, the calls I received on holidays, and the late-night messages are all safely stored on my phone and computer.”

Rakesh’s expression changed slightly.

Looking directly into his eyes, Viraj asked, “So tell me—are you having me dismissed?”

“Are you threatening me?”

“No.”

A faint smile appeared on Viraj’s lips.

“I am merely explaining my rights.”

Silence filled the cabin for several moments.

Rakesh was only a low-level manager.

In reality, he did not possess the authority to dismiss an employee immediately.

He could file a complaint with Human Resources, but the company’s senior officials made the final decision.

Moreover, dismissing an employee merely because he refused to perform unpaid overtime on his day off could create serious trouble for the company.

If Viraj complained to the Labour Department, the company might also be forced to pay him for all his previous overtime.

Rakesh did not want the situation to escalate that far.

His face was filled with anger, but he could not respond.

Viraj picked up his ID card from the desk and placed it around his neck again.

“If there is nothing else, I will return to work.”

With that, he turned around and left the cabin.

Rakesh stared at his retreating back.

Disbelief covered his face.

Why isn’t he behaving according to the pattern I established?

Until yesterday, he lowered his head after a single reprimand!

He cursed Viraj repeatedly in his heart but lacked the courage to stop him openly.

The employees outside were all astonished.

Viraj had emerged from the cabin remarkably quickly.

He did not appear frightened or troubled. On the contrary, he was smiling.

Amit asked in surprise, “You’re back already? Didn’t Rakesh Sir say anything?”

“He spoke, and I answered.”

Viraj pulled out his chair.

“That’s all. The matter is over.”

He sat down at his desk.

At that moment, the mechanical voice of the Do-As-You-Please System echoed inside his mind—

[The host refused to remain silent before a manager who treated him unjustly.]

[The host opposed injustice according to his true desire and defended his rights.]

[Do-As-You-Please decision successful.]

[Reward: ₹500,000 in cash.]

The phone inside Viraj’s pocket vibrated.

He took it out and checked the bank message.

[₹500,000 has been credited to your SBI bank account.]

[Available balance: ₹4,053,000.]

“Another five hundred thousand rupees!”

Joy flashed in Viraj’s eyes.

“Is ₹500,000 the smallest reward offered by the Do-As-You-Please System?”

“If so, this is incredible!”

It became difficult to suppress the smile spreading across his face.

Viraj pressed his lips together in an attempt to conceal it, but the smile continued escaping.

It was like attempting to stop the force of a powerful blow with both hands.

At this point, Viraj no longer cared much whether he kept this job.

He had not resigned voluntarily only because it would be difficult to explain such a sudden decision to his mother.

If Sunita discovered that her son had become unemployed, she would worry every day.

Secondly, Viraj was still learning how the Do-As-You-Please System worked.

He did not want to transform his ordinary life completely through a reckless decision.

Until only a few days ago, he possessed the mentality of an ordinary employee.

If his manager assigned work, he had to complete it.

If he was summoned for overtime, he had to attend.

If someone insulted him, he had to endure it for his salary.

But now, the confidence of an owner was awakening within him.

If someone treated him unjustly, he would no longer remain silent.

People like Rakesh Sharma could no longer frighten or control him.

Coffee for the Entire Office

Viraj now possessed ₹4,053,000.

Seeing so much money made him want to spend a little.

During all his years at the company, he had never treated his colleagues to anything.

He had been saving every rupee for his wedding.

His colleagues, on the other hand, had often bought him tea, coffee, and lunch.

Viraj felt slightly guilty when he thought about it.

It was time to settle the old account.

He quietly took out his phone and opened a food delivery app.

After checking the total number of employees working in the company, he ordered Cafe Coffee Day beverages for everyone.

One coffee for every employee.

But he excluded one person—

Rakesh Sharma.

Why should I buy coffee for someone who wants to drink my blood even on my days off?

A short while later, the reception desk received a call.

The order was so large that two delivery agents were required to carry it.

Both entered the office carrying several enormous bags.

One of the agents asked, “Excuse me, did someone here order coffee?”

The employees looked at one another.

“I didn’t.”

“Neither did I.”

“Who ordered so much coffee?”

Viraj rose from his chair.

“I placed the order.”

Everyone turned toward him.

Viraj smiled.

“The weather is pleasant today, and I’m in a good mood. So there is one coffee for everyone—my treat.”

“Wow, Viraj!”

“Brother, you’ve done something incredible today!”

“Thank you!”

“I’m taking my coffee without feeling the slightest shame!”

“Is there a cold coffee for me?”

“Whoever picks first gets their preferred drink.”

Several people burst into laughter after hearing Viraj’s response.

The office’s serious atmosphere immediately became lighter.

Everyone began collecting their coffee and thanking him.

Amit placed a hand on Viraj’s shoulder.

“It seems Brother has truly discovered freedom after his wedding was cancelled.”

Viraj smiled.

“It’s only coffee. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Seeing his colleagues’ happiness produced a different feeling in Viraj’s heart.

Relationships between ordinary people were not actually that complicated.

One merely needed to respect others.

And if someone had money and was willing to share a little happiness, even a single cup of coffee could create goodwill in people’s hearts.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

A new W******p message had arrived.

A faint smile appeared on his face when he saw the sender’s name.

Ananya Di: What is going on? Why are you suddenly buying coffee for the entire office? Did you win the lottery?

Viraj immediately looked toward a nearby glass cabin.

A beautiful woman of approximately twenty-eight stood inside, holding a cup of coffee.

Her slightly curly black hair reached her shoulders.

She wore a modern cream-colored top and black formal trousers. Her clothes were simple but exceptionally elegant.

Her entire personality reflected that of a confident and intelligent professional woman.

Her name was Ananya Kapoor.

She was the head of the company’s Administration Department.

Human Resources, office purchases, employee attendance, and general administration—all important operations — were under her control.

She was a senior manager with considerable authority.

She was also regarded as the most beautiful woman in the company.

Watching Viraj from inside her glass cabin, Ananya raised her coffee cup slightly and smiled.

Viraj replied through his phone—

Viraj: I didn’t win the lottery. My wedding was cancelled, so now I have some money left to spend.

Ananya replied several seconds later—

Ananya Di: What? Are you truly not getting married?

Ananya Di: Don’t make a sudden decision. You may regret it later.

Viraj responded—

Viraj: It wasn’t a sudden decision. I thought it through carefully.

Viraj: That relationship wasn’t right for either me or my mother.

Ananya’s reply arrived—

Ananya Di: Fine. If you made the decision after careful thought, I won’t interfere.

Ananya Di: As long as you believe in your decision, that is enough.

Another message arrived a few moments later—

Ananya Di: By the way, there is a minor problem with your attendance this month. The system shows that one day’s entry is missing.

Ananya Di: I’ll correct it shortly. Otherwise, your perfect attendance bonus will be deducted.

Viraj smiled.

Viraj: Thank you, Ananya Di.

Ananya Di: There is no need to thank me. You have also helped me with my work many times.

As Viraj read Ananya’s messages, he remembered how their friendship had begun.

When Ananya first joined the company, she did not have a single friend there.

She had been directly appointed as the head of the Administration Department.

Her beauty, young age, and high position caused many employees to feel jealous of her.

Most importantly, the company’s owner paid special attention to Ananya.

He frequently summoned her to his cabin.

Sometimes he asked whether she had eaten, while on other occasions, he offered to drive her home.

Within days, rumors spread throughout the office that Ananya had an improper relationship with the company’s owner.

People claimed she had become a senior manager not because of her abilities, but because of her special relationship with him.

Several female employees began gossiping about her clothes and character.

Male employees smiled before her but made vulgar jokes about her behind her back.

Initially, Viraj had also believed those rumors.

He thought that becoming the Administration Head at such a young age could not have been easy for an ordinary employee.

But everything changed one night.

That night, Viraj had returned to the office to collect some important files.

The entire building was almost empty.

Most of the lights had been switched off, and only the cabin inside the Administration Department remained illuminated.

As Viraj approached the cabin, he heard a man shouting from inside.

It was the voice of the company’s owner.

Viraj unknowingly stopped near the door.

Then he heard the owner say to Ananya—

“If you refuse to obey me, there will be no place for you in this company from tomorrow onward!”

A sound then came from inside the cabin that completely shocked Viraj.

And when he looked through the small glass window in the door—

His eyes widened.

Writer’s Note

In this chapter, Riya Malhotra allowed her friend Tanya Mehra to influence her and sent a meeting invitation to Viraj’s old friend, Arjun Mehta.

Riya blames Viraj for her own wrongful decision. She believes that by returning her belongings and blocking her number, Viraj forced her to grow closer to Arjun.

Meanwhile, Viraj openly opposed his manager Rakesh Sharma’s unjust behavior for the first time. The Do-As-You-Please System rewarded him with ₹500,000 for defending his rights.

Viraj then compensated for his past behavior by purchasing coffee for the entire office—with the sole exception of Rakesh Sharma.
