Imlie reaches her office asking the guard where should she go 

The guard takes her through the office  showing around and finally to a room where she would be getting her internship training, opening the door imlie sees 2 people 

A boy pinned to the table by a girl

Introduction to new characters

Jasmine kapoor : 22 year old finished journalism degree in USA . Been working in bhaskar times from a year. She's sensible and a lady of brains 💅🏼

Ehaan kapoor: final year student in imlie's college. Got internship last month and had been pestering his dear mentor after getting crush at first sight. A jolly guy, man of heart ❤️‍🩹

-------------------


She looks at them in shock thinking she came to the wrong place when the girl calls out

"Imlie?" 

"Han..." 

She was afraid she could be next to get pinned down 

The girl leaves the boy moving to imlie putting forward her hand

"Hi, I'm jasmine Singh. You can call me jass . I'm going to be your mentor for the next 3 months here at bhaskar times" 

"H...hi.." imlie suddenly had that sleeping fear of her strict teacher awake 

"Umm not much good of a first impression i would say...but I'm not that bad...to everyone " she says glaring back at the boy

"Uhhuh, I'm telling you imlie she's totally evil. Itna atyachar karti h mujhpe! Btw I'm Ehaan, aryan sir told me about you. Same college, final year" 

"Hello.." 

"Chill imlie, mai bilkul evil nahi hu, just mujhse unprofessional behavior handle nahi hota" 

"Agar hum unprofessional hui h..to tum ka humka scale se marogi?" 

She laughs at that

"Nahi nahi"

"To tum isko ese table pe kaahe leta ke rakhi thi..." she asks

"Because..he..,ughhh itna irritating h na iske sath kaam karna.  Extra cheese pizza se jada cheesy h ye ! Har cheez me flirt. Ek to pure EK saal badi hu isse !" 

"To dekho pyaar me umar kaaha hoti h?!" Imlie says being defensive quickly.  If something happened between aryan n her then what? He's like 10 years older right.  Is it odd? 

"Han theek h nahi hoti, but I'm not intrested! Waise bhi co workers can't date here" 

"Aacha agar policy nahi hoti to kar leti date?" Ehaan asks

"Dekho! Dekho isko. Look at him. Itni flirting to wattpad ke writers ko bhi nhi aati"

 (Indirect to me and my fellow writers.  They know the pain of writing flirting 🤚🏻)

"Look at me, i know I'm very handsome " he says 

Imlie gigles at it. Maybe it won't be that bad for her

"Huh dekhna h to mai Aryan sir ko na dekhu" jasmine says

" kaaa?! Kah do tum bhi uu pagal si ladki naahi ho jo akad- aryan sir ke sath saat jeewan ke sath ke sapne ke sath sowat h!" Imlie says getting hyper. One preeta was enough 

"Nahi nahi, i mean sir is very handsome no doubt.  But bohat grumpy h"

"Like you" ehaan says 

"Tum chup baitho na !"
