The forced alliance (Completed)

Chapter 15

Surprise! surprise!

So here we go.......

In the days following their heartfelt confession during the garba night, Abhimaan and Aradhyaa found themselves caught in a whirlwind of emotions. The excitement of being a couple and the anticipation of the next meeting at the office brought a mix of nervousness and joy.

Both Abhimaan and Aradhyaa went to great lengths to get ready for the day. Abhimaan chose his attire carefully, selecting a sharp suit that accentuated his confidence and charm. He couldn't help but steal glances at the mirror, making sure he looked his best. He wanted to impress Aradhyaa, even though they were already in love.

Aradhyaa, on the other hand, spent extra time choosing her outfit, settling on a chic yet elegant dress that brought out her grace and beauty. She applied makeup with a steady hand and styled her hair meticulously. Her heart raced with excitement, knowing she would see Abhimaan at the office.

When they finally came face to face in the office, there was an undeniable air of awkwardness. The dynamic had shifted from coworkers to a couple in love, and it was an entirely new experience for both of them.

Abhimaan, always the charismatic one, couldn't help but feel a bit flustered as he greeted Aradhyaa with a warm smile. He offered a subtle compliment, "You look stunning today, Aradhyaa." He hoped it would ease the tension between them.

Aradhyaa blushed, her cheeks tinged with a shade of pink as she replied, "Thank you, Abhimaan. You look quite handsome yourself."

The exchange of compliments broke the ice, and as the day progressed, they found ways to support each other and share moments of affection discreetly. A touch on the hand or a stolen glance served as a reminder of the deep connection they now shared.

Abhimaan, with a newfound sense of purpose, decided to have a serious discussion with Aradhyaa. He knew that while their love was flourishing, it was crucial to maintain professionalism at work. He called Aradhyaa into his cabin, where they could have a private conversation.

As they discussed the latest project they were working on, Abhimaan shared a new hunch he had about the project's direction. He valued Aradhyaa's insights and ideas, and he appreciated the unique perspective she brought to their work. Their professional synergy was undeniable, and it was one of the reasons their collaboration was so successful.

After a thorough discussion, Abhimaan looked into Aradhyaa's eyes, a sense of admiration and trust in his gaze. He spoke earnestly, "Aradhyaa, you bring an incredible level of dedication and brilliance to our projects. I've been thinking, given your exceptional skills, I would like to propose something. I want you to be my personal secretary for our project-related affairs. You will handle everything related to our projects, from scheduling to communication. This way, we can continue our successful collaboration without any disruptions. Of course, everything else, like my general administrative tasks, will be managed by my regular personal assistant."

Aradhyaa was taken aback by the proposal but felt honored that Abhimaan trusted her skills and professionalism enough to offer such a role. She nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude, and replied, "I appreciate your trust in me, Abhimaan. I'm more than willing to take on this role and ensure that our projects continue to succeed."

After their work-related discussion concluded, Abhimaan shifted the tone of the conversation with a warm smile. "Now that we've settled our professional matters, I think it's time for me to spend some quality time with my girlfriend," he said with a hint of playfulness.

Aradhyaa blushed at his words, her heart racing with excitement. She decided to tease him back, stepping closer to him with a playful glint in her eyes. "So, what should I call you now, sir? Abhimaan, Abhi, or just Maan?" she inquired, her voice laced with affection as she masked her nervousness with a playful demeanor.
