ishita / jai
when do i join?
monday
i should show up at the Mye office in Sterling Road, right?
yes, glad you know where i work at
you're the one of the biggest stationary brand in the country and your office is huge. it's hard not to notice
you'll be a part of that brand from monday
um
i have a question
what?
the pink dye at the ends of my hair... will that be a problem?
why would it be a problem?
i heard that might be one of the many reasons i wasn't given a job. idk how it works but apparently it makes me look reckless
i've never had a problem with hair colour. as long as you wear clothes that fit the dress code, act appropriately and do your job, i don't have a problem. besides, i've seen you at your worst. you can't do any more damage
what do you mean at my worst?
you don't remember?
WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO?
JAI! DON'T YOU EVEN THINK OF SEENZONING ME NOW!
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU JAI
YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON ON PLANET EARTH
AND MARS AND VENUS
calm down astronaut
i had to take a call
tell me what i did
you were clinging to me in the car, mumbling something about being scared your heart is going to grow cold without warmth.
oh god
you refused to let me go when we got to your apartment saying something about me being warm like hot chocolate in winter
sahana was shocked to see you clinging to me like that and she had to tempt you with hot chocolate to get you off my hands
that's why she kept smirking at me the whole time! fuck. did she take a video of me, by any chance?
not that i know of
i'm fucked
so, you're single?
that's all you got from that awfully embarrassing situation?
and that you like hot chocolate?
ugh, how am i going to face you again? this is too much, even for me. i bet you were laughing to yourself the entire time.
i didn't
it was the most difficult thing i had to do though
ugh
don't talk to me
i need two business days to process this
i understand, take your time
what is the procedure to make you sign a NDA about that night's events?
just show up at the office at 9 am sharp tomorrow
ugh
