Rahul, reveling in his teasing, decided to leave the duo with a parting remark.
**Rahul:** (smirking) Cool, cool. Enjoy your lunch, lovebirds.
As he walked away, Aarav still sported a lighthearted expression, blissfully unaware of the undercurrents. Alicia, on the other hand, maintained her composure, managing a smile for Aarav despite her evident irritation at Rahul's antics.
**Aarav:** (confused) What's his deal?
**Alicia:** (calmly) Ignore him, Aarav. Some people enjoy stirring the pot.
As the lunchtime chatter continued, a flicker of concern crept into Aarav's mind. He couldn't help but wonder why Rahul directed his teasing comments specifically at Alicia, injecting an undertone of discomfort into their otherwise cheerful lunch.
**Aarav:** (thoughtfully) Alicia, is everything okay? Rahul's comments seemed a bit... targeted.
Alicia, appreciating Aarav's genuine concern, offered a reassuring smile.
**Alicia:** (softly) Don't worry, Aarav. Rahul has his own way of being annoying. It's nothing serious.
Despite Alicia's attempt to downplay the situation, Aarav couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that there might be more to Rahul's behavior than meets the eye.
As Aarav immersed himself in his work, Alicia, being observant of his busy schedule, decided to bring him a cup of coffee to brighten his day. However, her thoughtful gesture didn't go unnoticed by Rahul, who, seizing the opportunity to tease, approached the duo.
**Rahul:** (smirking) Well, well, looks like someone's playing the role of the office barista today.
Alicia, maintaining her composure, smiled at Aarav before responding to Rahul.
**Alicia:** Just ensuring Aarav stays fueled for the day. You know, team spirit.
Aarav, appreciating Alicia's kindness, was genuinely touched.
**Aarav:** Thanks, Alicia. That's really thoughtful of you.
Rahul, not expecting Alicia's calm response, found himself momentarily taken aback.
**Rahul:** (mumbling) Well, aren't we the office sweetheart?
Alicia: (calmly) Just doing my part. It's called being supportive, Rahul.
Alicia's poised response left Rahul momentarily speechless, and as rahul left them with jealousy hang in the air
