CHAPTER-31: The Date Crash

Week-8

I knew I was going to have a good day when my dad asked me to drop a file to Shayra's firm on the way to my work. Even though the chances might have be less that I encountered her but luck was always in my favor. I had accepted her rejection because I never fell for her with the hope of she would fall for me but because I had no control over my feelings. She was looking at him the way I had once hoped she would look at me but she doesn't even turn her head back at me. Our last conversation was a knife in my chest but I promised to be a friend, and if that's what it was- it was my duty to check on her if she was fine. She didn't seem fine that last week at Dua's party.

When I went in the receptionist showed me the way to a cabin to drop off the files which could have been anyone's but it was hers. She was sitting, fully engrossed in her work to even notice someone had entered.

I took two steps forward slowly as to not disturb her but in that moment she shook her head and looked at me with a done face "You know I can see you right?"
