The morning sun gently kissed the room, signaling the start of a new day, and Ishan was already in a flurry of activity. His rushed movements and hasty phone conversation revealed the stress that had taken hold of him. Shubman, awakened from his peaceful slumber, observed the chaos with a bemused expression.

"Who's the unlucky person you're cursing this early in the morning?" Shubman quipped, his voice laced with playful mischief as he stretched lazily.

Ishan, still on the phone, shot Shubman a quick glance and sighed, "It's no one, just some work chaos." He motioned for Shubman to get ready as they needed to leave for the office quickly.

Shubman, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, complied with Ishan's request. When he emerged from the bathroom, Ishan was still engrossed in a serious conversation. Glancing at the clock and realizing it was only 6 am, Shubman decided it was the perfect time to inject a bit of playfulness into the atmosphere.

Approaching Ishan with a mischievous glint in his eyes, Shubman suddenly pulled him close, startling Ishan. "Why so serious, Ishan? It's the crack of dawn, and here you are, drowning in work. Let's add a little playfulness to this early morning chaos," Shubman suggested, his tone light and teasing.

Ishan, caught off guard by Shubman's sudden move, tried to maintain his serious demeanor. "Shubman, I don't have time for your antics. We need to leave soon, and I have this meeting to manage."

Undeterred, Shubman decided to take advantage of the situation. Leaning in, he whispered in Ishan's ear, "Well, Mr. Serious, what if I told you that a bit of playfulness might just make this day unforgettable?"

Ishan, despite his attempts to stay focused, couldn't help but crack a small smile. Shubman's infectious energy was beginning to have its effect. Shubman, satisfied with the crack in Ishan's stern exterior, decided to keep the playful mood alive.

"Come on, Ishan. Let's tackle this day together. It's a new beginning, after all. Who knows what surprises await us?" Shubman said, twirling Ishan playfully before grabbing his hand and leading him towards the door.

As they left for the office, Shubman couldn't resist continuing the banter. "Ishan, my dear secretary, let's make a deal. I'll handle the chaos, and you promise to bring a smile to that serious face of yours. Deal?"

Ishan chuckled, "Deal, but only if you promise to keep your mischief in check."

Shubman raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "Me? Mischief? Never!"

The banter continued as they made their way to the office, the playful exchange adding a touch of lightheartedness to the otherwise chaotic morning.
