Maya checking out the website where Anu has published her books

Maya tapped her finger against her knee as she waited for the website loaded. Finally a tick sign appeared, followed by the message 'your account has been made!'.

Maya headed to her chat with Anu.

Me
What's the name of your book?

Anu
╰(*°▽°*)╯
physics and love

Me
You've become more and more annoying to chat with ever since you discovered emoticons

Anu
╰（‵□′）╯
THEN DONT CHAT WITH ME!

Maya let out a sigh. It had been a month. When was she going to get over this emoticon phase? Maybe Maya should have a word with Vineet.

Maya blinked.

Nevermind. He'd probably say something like, 'It's cute, though. Everything she does is cute.'

Maya grimaced. Those two lovebirds.

Maya went back to the publishing app. She searched the name of the book. Before she began reading it, she scrolled through the recommended books.

My Master And Me (18+)
Avyansh Singhania is cold, ruthless. He gets women at the flick of his fingers-

Maya stopped reading. She proceeded to the next one.

Accidentally In Love
Abhishek Rathore is a nationally famous doctor. He's handsome and ruthless in his pursuit for success. He gets women at the flick of-

Maya's eyebrows furrowed. She clicked on genres and clicked on mystery.

The Police Inspector And Me
Jai Singhania is a famous investigator and police inspector. He's handsome and ruthless in his pursuit for criminals-

Why was this app filled with handsome and ruthless men?

Maya scrolled a little further and clicked out, sighing. She, then, clicked on adventure and fantasy.

An Adventure For A Lifetime
Avi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity. 

Maya expanded the summary, smiling that she found something different.

Avi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Her soulmate, Arjun Singhania-

Singhania again?!

is the god of war. And he wants nothing to do with her. Read as their journey unfolds, with cuteness and fluff-

What was cute about a guy not liking the female lead?! Unrequited love was a tragedy not a fluffy, life event!

Maya let out a long sigh. She searched Anu's book again and checked out her summary.

Once upon a time, he taught me physics. That was 10 years ago.
Now we meet again, our love story blooming once again.

Maya tentatively checked the names of the characters. Phew! It was Shivani and Arya.

Maya began reading the book, after her brief investigation of the app's books. Maya checked out the stats of the books before, beginning.

It had a lot of views.

Maya smiled, after finishing reading. The love story was too sweet. Maya would've swooned, had she not been at her office.

She headed to the Anu's chat.

Me
You should've made the FL's best friend a more sneakier character, who likes to explore places.

Anu
(¬‿¬)
I thought I was too annoying to text?

Maya, "...."

She really was annoying!

Anu
^_^
We don't need any reader taking inspiration from that sort of character and getting into mischief. They won't have a best friend to help calm down angry aunties, after all.

Maya narrowed her eyes at her screen.

That was only one auntie! One!

Rolling her eyes, Maya went back to the publishing app. She scrolled around, trying to find some good books.

Much to her disbelief, there were only romance novels. And all of the male leads were either police inspectors, doctors and CEOs.

She called on her assistant and began making a tally on which surname has the most frequency.

"Rathore, one more. Singhania...2 more. And...alright, that's all there is in the rankings. So, tell me. What's the frequency?"

Her assistant squinted her eyes at her notebook.

"Singhania, 1201. Rathore, 1001. Malhotra, 993, ma'am."

Maya looked impressed. "Damn, Singhania really won. I thought Rathore would win."

Me
Singhania won
