Episode Guide - Part 6
Jassi goes to eat lunch at Office Cafe and the Gang asks her to join them at their table since there's nowhere else to sit. Each of them introduces herself. Berta, living up to her sterling reputation, tells Jassi that she's replacing Mireya, Arman's old secretary. Jassi asks why Mireya didn't just move positions to work for Arman when he became Chairman. They explain that she resigned because she fell in love with Arman and decided to leave because she couldn't stand being in that situation anymore, and that Arman never realized Mireya’s feelings for him. They warn Jassi not to fall for Arman, and she gives them a nervous answer saying how could they think something like that…
The Gang brings Jassi up to date about how Arman was able to become Chairman, as well as about his sister Camila, who made the mistake of falling in love with a poor man and married him behind her parents’ backs, which is why she's somewhat distant from the family, and only is in real touch with Arman. She separated from her husband and moved to Switzerland with her son. They also brief her about María Jassi, Mallika and Aryan’s sister, and tell her that she's had so much plastic surgery that even she doesn't remember what she used to look like. In the meantime, don Mr. Suri officially passes the baton to Arman during the Board Meeting. He explains that if within a year Arman is unable to meet the goals he has set for himself, Aryan will become Chairman. Aryan responds that he hopes that there will be a business to run, since he thinks that Arman's business plan will lead them to ruin. Sofía lets Jassi know that it was Mallika's vote that assured Arman the chairmanship, and they all say that Arman is paying a high price for that vote. They say that Mallika and Arman have been dating for over two years and that he cheats on her left and right, but Mallika always forgives him and takes him back. Sandra says that Mallika better be careful because one of these days some woman is going to come and take him from her. Maria says that both Raj and Arman only date beautiful women. That Arman stays with Mallika, and Sandra says that maybe that's not the woman that he's really looking for, that he may want a different kind of woman, different from those Hess used to (hmmm, another Gaitán freebie foreshadow!).
At the end of the Board Meeting meeting, Aryan leaves, and Raj talks to Arman and tells him that maybe Aryan is right and Arman's plan is too risky. The Gang and Jassi comeback to work and run into Aryan, Jassi literally, and he yells at her. Mr. Suri tells Arman that he and Mrs. Suri are going to Switzerland to visit his sister and nephew and will later settle down in London. Jassi confronts Pari about making the Board Meeting believe that she had prepared the report, and Mallika butts in to say that one measly report that Jassi prepares isn't going together a promotion. That she's a secretary and that's all shell ever be. Mr. Suri talks to Arman and gives him advice about how to run the business, to make sure that his pride and ego don't interfere with how he runs the company him to do something for which Hess going to be sorry (hey, another soothsayer), to make sure he doesn't get into any shady business. Jassi tells her Mom over the phone that she wants to resign and tells her about what Mallika and Pari did with the report. The entire Gulmohur staff says good-bye to Mr. Suri and Mrs. Suri.
Arman asks Jassi and Pari to come to his office, and since Hess sure that Jassi is the one who put the report together, he asks Pari for the original reports, to which she responds that Jassi has them. Raj congratulates Pari for doing such a good job an asks her out on a date to celebrate. Arman asks for a business plan and asks who wants to do it and Pari jumps in to say that Jassi can do it, but she says that since Pari did so well with the first report to the Board Meeting it’s only right that she should do this one as well, so Arman tells Pari to do it and tells her that it should be a snap for her to put together this plan after what she pulled off in just one day. In Jassi's office, Arman asks her about who really did the report. Jassi responds that he will know who did it once he reads Pari's business plan. Arman and Raj realize that their business plan is totally wrong. Pari tells Mallika about her “problem” and admits that she cant do what Arman has asked her to do and decides to take Raj up on his invitation to go out, so that she can get HIM to help her, so she invites him to her apartment. Jassi says good night to Pari, like “good luck with your little project, honey,” since she knows that Pari is way over her head. Jassi gets home and asks Nandu to work with her to design a business plan because if she doesn't get it ready before the next morning, its going to be her job on the line. Babe asks Jassi what’s going on, and Jassi ends up confessing that she's actually a secretary not an assistant. Babe asks her to tell her father the truth, but when he gets home with one of his friends he’s had a few too many and tells his friend how proud he is of his daughter and her new position, and Jassi loses her nerve.
BIG HINT AHEAD — Arman and Mallika start talking about their wedding, and Arman is adamant that it’s not going to be a church wedding, something that saddens Mallika to no end and they can’t reach a decision. Pari wants Raj to help her put together the business proposal, but he starts kissing her and they end up in bed. So, obviously no business plan was put together! In the meantime, Jassi and Nandu are working on their business plan proposal. Nandu asks Jassi if she’s doing this because she’s worried about her job or because of Arman. She answers that it’s for both reasons.
Jassi and Nandu pull an all-nighter, which makes Jassi be late for work. At Gulmohur, we see Arman ranting and raving in full petulant mode because Raj, Pari, AND Jassi haven’t arrived. When Jassi is almost at work, she falls, hurts her leg, and breaks her eyeglasses (pity Ruby wasn’t there for this one!). When she gets to Arman’s office he starts in on her, asking her whether there was a death in the family, or she broke something, or her bus broke down, to which Jassi has to respond "no señor,” and even though she’s trying to explain to him why she’s late, he won’t let her. He wants to know where Pari and Raj are, and Jassi further enrages him by asking if they’re together, to which Arman says — what do I know, I’m not their mother! He then tells Jassi to find them, and pleads with her to do something for him (“haga algo por mi”). Jassi grabs Arman’s stress ball and gives it to him, and he’s furious (yes, this is a pattern with our beloved bello bobo) and he bounces it on the floor saying, why are you giving this to me, I don’t need it !
