Vaidehi's POV:-

I couldn't believe I was going to see him again...

Yashvardhan Mishra -

the man who had been haunting my dreams ever since that first meeting..

"Vaidehi, take this file to the office,

beta,"

Papa said...

I clutched the folder to my chest,
my heart racing like a little rabbit..

"Calm down, Vaidehi...

it's just a file...

just a file...

And him...

The moment I stepped into his office,

the air shifted.

There he was...

White shirt,

black vest,

sleeves rolled up,

hair slightly messy -

And those sharp eyes that seemed to look through me...

"Miss Pandit?"

His voice was deep,
with the faintest curve of a smile..

My throat felt dry...

"Uh... Papa sent this file..."

My fingers trembled as I held it out..

His hand brushed mine -

just for a second -

And my breath hitched, a tiny gasp slipping out...

Oh God, Vaidehi... why are you like this?!

"Relax,"

he murmured,

voice smooth like velvet,

"I don't bite... unless you want me to."

My cheeks went up in flames..

What?!

Did I hear that right?!

When I dared to glance up,
he was already smirking softly...
