Will you be my salt - chapter 3 :)

Will you be my saltChapter -3
MR. Benerji’s OFFICE 

The heavy door swings open. MR. Benerji sits behind his massive mahogany desk, looking stressed. Across from him sits the polished, sharp-suited OWNER of the Sharchans company.

Trisha marches in, her expressive face locked in a mask of absolute, radiant confidence. Shalini slips in behind her, looking like she’s praying for a miracle.

MR. Benerji

Ah, Trisha! Come in, come in. This is the owner of the Sharchans company, Mr Gopal Das Ramji. He is saying that if the pitch appeals only then he will think about doing business with us. Now it all depends on you. What do you have for us?

Trisha steps right up to the desk, slamming her palms down dramatically as she looks straight at the owner. She doesn't just speak; she performs.

TRISHA (Booming with passion)

Sir, forget everything you know about standard breakfast marketing. The public is tired of choking down dry, depressing grains just to stay healthy! When I looked at this vibrant, amazing museli, I realised we aren't selling a chore. We are selling a revolution.

The Owner blinks, instantly intrigued by her loud, fiery energy.

OWNER(Gopal Das Ramji)  ..  Go on....

TRISHA (Gesticulating wildly)

Think about it! What is the one thing everyone craves but feels guilty about? Dessert. We have created a loophole in the system! Because this heart-healthy vegan muesli has that distinct, exquisite, luxurious hint of vanilla, it doesn't taste like cardboard, like the other ordinary mueslis in the market —it tastes like a treat.

MR Benerji (Leaning forward, his 120-kilo frame shifting)

A treat, you say?

TRISHA (Shouting with excitement)

Yes, Sir! It is a dessert which you can eat for breakfast! It’s for the modern, fast-paced world. Imagine the tagline blasting across billboards, social media, and television screens: 'Why wait for the night? Your morning dessert is waiting for you!'

Shalini’s eyes widen in absolute shock at how seamlessly Trisha is spinning this. She quickly nods along, trying to support the madness.

SHALINI (Chipping in expressively)

Exactly! A daily ritual where your taste buds crave the nutrient-dense crunch, but your soul feels like it's indulging in a morning delicacy!

TRISHA (Leaning over the desk, lower drop tone for dramatic effect)

Exactly! We hit the exact right notes with the public. They get the gut-loving fibre, the superfood pumpkin seeds, the raw energy—but their brain thinks they are cheating on their diet. It’s brilliant, it’s bold, and it’s going to skyrocket the sales of this collection! And I have a typo for it "DOSALOKAWA"....

The office goes dead silent for a nerve-wracking three seconds. Trisha holds her breath, her heart hammering against her ribs, maintaining her wide, theatrical smile.

The Owner slowly looks over at Mr Benerji, a massive grin breaking across his face.

Gopal Das Ramji (Slapping the armrest)

A dessert you can eat for breakfast... 'Your morning dessert is waiting for you.' 

Benerji, this girl is a genius! This is exactly the kind of aggressive, fresh pitch we need!
