I nudged him away as he laughed. Rolling my eyes, I playfully threatened him, "I will hunt you down and push you into their arms if something like that happens."
Mischievousness sparkled in his eyes as he opened his arms wide and let me stare at him with saucer eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Come on babe, don't be so shy. Everyone knows we are together," he announced loudly by giving me an unexpected hug.
"What the-" my words were muffled by his chest as he swayed us a little for show. His expensive cologne filled my windpipe as I tried to push him away but he wouldn't bulge.
"I can't breathe!" I gave a muffled shout making him chuckle as he let go off me. I breathed raggedly as I gave him a pointed look.
"What was that about?"
He just snickered, "You will find out about it soon."
With a wink, he wore his shades and with a smile and a wave, he headed back to his car. I stood there till he drove down the lane before turning to enter the building only to find every single pair of eyes staring at me.
"What?" I couldn't help but ask, making everyone snap back to reality and resume whatever they were doing.

Acafé coffee dayparcel landed on my desk with a light thud, it still managed to make me jump a bit in fright. I looked up to find Jaspreet giving me a sickly sweet smile as if we have been friends for a long time.
"It's such a tiring day, that's why I thought I'll get some coffee for you. You must be tired," she pushed my neatly arranged objects on the desk to a corner as she sat on the newly created space.
"Wait! What's going on?" I looked around to see that everyone was looking towards us. Even Prem had paused instructing the new developer and looked at us.
"Why? I am just extending my hand towards you in friendship! By the way, I'm so sorry for the all those things I had done, I was having a bad phase of my life..." She made a sad face as she completed her sentence. I was left completely speechless. What was I supposed to say or even think of this?
I looked around for a second, seeing everyone watching whatever was going on here.
"Okay..." I trailed off not knowing how to continue.
"I have always liked you from the time I first met you! I knew you are a very talented girl," I wanted to sing'liar, liar pants on fire'at her words but I didn't.
"Thanks...?" What even was going on around here?
"By the way, I didn't know you knewThe Raivardhans," oh okay, I think I knew where she was going now. The purpose of her to suddenly turn so sweet and nice towards me. Just as Aaryan had said, ′get ready to be worshiped by the queen bitches.′
I folded my hands across my chest as I dared her to continue by saying, "So?"
"It's... it's just that... You know... I just didn't know," she tried smiling but her composure kept breaking in between. She was just tolerating me, not that she miraculously had a change of heart.
"Next time, I'll remember to put a label over my forehead telling ′I know The Raivardhans′ wherever I go," I smiled innocently at her as I witnessed her eyes narrow a bit but the smile forced on her face was priceless to see.
She just forced a giggle like I had made a joke, my smile widened.
"I have a task to complete, bye!" I sang the last word as I wriggled my fingers at her face before turning back towards the computer screen. I felt her get down the table and march away. I swear I could even hear her teeth grinding before she left.
I was full on simpering as I took the coffee cup and sipped through it. I must admit, she did have a pretty decent taste in coffee.
By the end of the evening, I was burned out. I shut my laptop as I gathered my things and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Ms. Raivardhan-connection! How did your day go?" I felt Prem slightly clap over my shoulder.
"What?" I gave him a surprised look.
"Now, don't act like you don't know what I am talking about," Prem playfully scolded me. How did he know? He wasn't even there when Aaryan had dropped by. He was busy submitting the first half of the code to Mrs. D'Souza. And their meetings usually lasted forever.
"How did you know?" I asked him accusingly.
