"Yes, I do want to talk to you about something" he said hesitatingly "I am not sure how to ask you this but I want you to be comfortable with this…"

"What is it Krutik?" I said

"Amm... the thing is..."

"GOOD MORNING BABAIESS" a cheerful voice interrupted us

"Good Morning" Krutik and I replied simultaneously

"What's cooking? Why so serious?" She said while wiggling her eyebrows at both of us

"Don't start in the morning V" I said irretated.

Ivy innocently said "I was asking about my lunch. What did you thought I was asking? Unless.."

"No unless… go take a bath you don't want to be late on the very first day of your work"

"Yes MOM" she said dramatically

"You were saying something" I asked Krutik after Ivy left

"Yeahh…about that…let's talk later" Krutik said and left the kitchen

I and Krutik left for work. Today is going to be quite busy as we are planning some investment proposal for one of the very big MNC. It would be a life changing deal for our company, especially our team.

Honestly, my team did not get the recognition and respect in the office that they deserved. We were always taken lightly because we were new and not experienced enough. More than my company, I wanted this project for my team so I could prove to everyone what this team is actually capable of and we could shine way brighter if given an opportunity.

We had couple of meetings to finalize the proposal. We took approval from Mrs. Khosla, she did look quite happy but ofcourse God failed to teach her how to appreciate people. She suggested some changes and we were good to go. That day Krutik stayed late as he had to make PPT for the client.

I came home and I saw that Ivy was already home.

"So how was your first day?" I asked Ivy

"Just as great as me" She replied with a smirk

"Means really really bad" I said in a sad dramatic way

"HAHAHAHA… very funny" She replied with a fake laughter and then we both cracked into a big one

"So.. where is your boyfriend?" Ivy asked teasing me

"He has to work late… and he is not my boyfriend… Just give up already V"

"Okay oaky… but tell me honestly… don't you like him?" she said with a serious tone.

"ofcourse I like him… he is kind and smart.."

"No.. not in that sense idiot… I am asking that do you LIKE him?" Ivy said making sure I understand what she was trying to say by making a heart sign

"Ammm… Honestly I am not sure about it as well… I don't hate the idea but I am don't absolutely love it as well. Its like no romantic feeling involved types liking."

"See.. you got a thing for him. I knew it" Ivy said playfully

"I do not have a thing for him, I think I was very clear on that part when I said no romantic feeling involved. Do you ever listen to me? We don't talk about it again. End of discussion" I said showing her a stop sign with my hand.

"Whatever you say ma'am but still think about it" she said rolling her eyes.

"Enough about me how about you. Are you into anyone?" I said fishing for some gossip

"Well there is this guy in my office. He is in finance department, he is bomb" she said with starry eyes

"Language V, whats bomb?"

"Yes maama, but really he is hot AF but I don't think he is a boyfriend material. He looks like a playboy" She said

"I think someone got a thing for someone" I said fake coughing

"No not at all... He is hot for sure but definitely not my type... but I guess I should set you two up" she said nudging me

"First of all you just said he is a playboy yet you want to set me up with him and Second how can you judge a person in just one meeting." I said showing the two fingers.

"First of all I said he LOOKS like a playboy, there is a chance he might not be. And Second Playboy and a relationship virgin...JUST PERFECT COUPLE" She said mimicking me

"Ewwww, not at all. Playboys are not my type too okay..." I said making a bad face.

"Now whos judging?" Ivy said with a sarcastic smile.

"You just said... forget it..." I said making an 'I can't believe her that she said that' face

It was late so we ordered some food for us and went to bed immediately after having our dinner as we both had a long day and we were in a much need of sleep
