Two people walked along the sandy beach, their shoes and sandals in hand, a soft smile gracing their faces. The waves lapped gently at the shore, creating a serene background for their conversation.

"Preeta, do you really think you were meant to be a doctor—specifically a heart surgeon?" Karan asked, breaking the comfortable silence. His tone was light, but his words caught her attention.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Preeta raised an eyebrow, confused by his question.

"I mean," he began, grinning mischievously, "if someone takes one look at you before surgery, they'll already feel half-healed. Even if they're planning to give up, you'd inspire them to fight for their life."

Preeta stared at him, her face frozen in a mix of disbelief and annoyance. "What the hell was that? That's the cheesiest line I've ever heard. Ugh!" she said, cringing dramatically.

"Stop flirting, Mr. Luthra!" She playfully smacked his shoulder, but her scolding only made him laugh.

"Are you heading to the hospital tomorrow?" he asked, watching her closely.

Preeta pouted, as if his question was utterly ridiculous. "Do you have short-term memory loss or what?" she teased. "I told you I'm on a week-long leave!" Her voice rose slightly as she emphasized the last part, making Karan blink in surprise.

"Ohh, right... no need to get so worked up! I forgot, okay? Office work fries my brain sometimes," he sighed dramatically, running a hand through his hair.

She glanced at him, then turned her gaze back to the sand ahead. "When do you take a break?"

Karan's brow furrowed. "Huh?"

"I mean, from all this business and work. Do you ever take time for yourself?" she clarified, her tone curious yet gentle.

"Who takes breaks, yaar? If there's a meeting or something important, Ankit and Priyanka handle it. Honestly, I've never thought about taking time off," he admitted nonchalantly.

Preeta stopped walking and turned to glare at him. Her expression screamed frustration, as if she couldn't fathom how someone could live like that.

"How do you even survive in the business world?" she muttered, half to herself.

"For your information," she continued, placing her hands on her hips, "I take three vacations every year. After every four months. It's my way of escaping work and people, and it makes me feel happier, calmer, and more refreshed."

Karan stared at her as if she'd just revealed a secret to eternal happiness. "Three times a year?" he echoed, incredulous.

"Where have you been so far?" he asked, now genuinely curious.

"Darjeeling, Dubai, Gangtok, Manali, and my last trip was to Goa," she said, ticking off the names on her fingers as she sat down on the sand, recalling each trip fondly.
