Akash reached for Krithika's hand, steadying her as she tottered on her treacherous heels. Once she found her balance, she straightened up, gave him a once-over, and raised her brows with mock suspicion. "Chivalry, huh? Trying to score points?"
"Akash Gautam is always at the service of gorgeous ladies," he said, his lips curling into a smug grin. Leaning closer, he murmured, "And may I add, you're looking more than just beautiful tonight."
She giggled, spinning to face him fully. "Oh, I see," she drawled, then tilted her head. "Wait a second—are you flirting with me, Mr. Gautam?"
"Can't a guy have a little fun?"
Her laugh was bright and sharp as she swatted his arm. "If this is practice for Priya, you need a new playbook."
His face turned crimson, and he stammered, "Shut up!"
Before she could roast him further, the other two members of their so-called gang—though 'gang' was a stretch for their chaotic little crew—appeared. Rashi and Priya navigated through the crowd like pros, balancing glasses of something that was probably a mix of wine and juice.
Rashi's grin was a beacon. "It's starting!"
The microphone crackled as the emcee's voice boomed through the hall. "Hello, Xhasis family!"
A loud cheer erupted, echoing off the vaulted ceilings.
"This year has been an incredible success! I hope all of you cherished every moment as part of this fabulous organization."
The employees responded with hums of agreement, the collective energy in the grand hall electric. It was remarkable how such a large group could gather and still not feel cramped—the venue's sheer scale made it a luxurious, breathable space. Krithika's eyes wandered, catching every detail of the meticulous decor. They'd clearly splurged a fortune on this event.
"And now," the emcee continued, "in keeping with Xhasis tradition, let's welcome our two lovely bosses for a dance!"
The crowd erupted in whistles, claps, and a few suggestive whoops. People shuffled aside, clearing the center of the room.
There was no stage, just a flat, polished expanse of floor, but when Xavier and Satya stepped forward, it felt like the room itself tilted in their direction. They didn't just walk—they sauntered, radiating a confidence that made everyone else look like extras in their spotlight.
