I like shiny things,
but I'd marry you with paper rings.

***********

One day, I am going to put a ring on this finger.

Zoya leaned back on her chair while Shahveer's words kept playing in her mind.

Put a ring on her finger. She subconsciously grazed her right hand's fingers over her left hand's ring finger and smiled subtly.

Did he actually mean that? She didn't know, but she certainly hoped he did.

"Zoya?" Her colleague broke her trance.

She immediately straightened up.

"Vishwas sir is calling you." He informed her before walking away.

She got up from her chair and made her way towards her boss' cabin.

"You asked for me?" She entered the room after knocking.

Vishwas nodded without taking his eyes off his laptop. "Yes, take a seat."

She obliged and waited for him to finish whatever work he was doing.

"So," He finally directed his undivided attention towards her after a few minutes, "How does the position of Marketing Director sound to you?"

It took a second for her to comprehend what he said. And when she did, a smile spread across her face. She was not surprised at the promotion. She knew it was coming, especially after the Jaipur deal she cracked. She had worked so bloody hard for it, and she was more than ready to take over this new position.

They discussed her new designation along with the salary and responsibilities she was going to get with it. An hour later, she had packed up all her stuff and was ready to go back home. It was just 5, but she was too excited to stay back and work anymore. Instead of going home, she went to Shahveer's office and asked him to come down.

"What's going on?" He asked when he walked out of his office building, and in reply, she jumped in his arms excitedly. He managed to balance his excited girl and his own body without falling down at her sudden action.

"I got promoted." She yelled, managing to catch the attention of people around them. But she didn't care, and neither did he. As soon as he heard that, he swiftly lifted her off the ground and twirled her around.

"I am so proud, baby." He grinned and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Then they left for home together. On the way, they bought some Chinese takeout for everyone to celebrate. Zoya even called Aarti and Rohit over.
