Abhimanyu stormed out into his cabin after an encounter with Divisha. Anand who was looking at the scene unfolding in front of him from a corner chuckled. He took out his phone and messaged his wife, 'If you are free then call me, I have a gossip for you.' As soon as the message was delivered, the next moment he got a call from his wife.

"What's the gossip?" Preeti asked when he picked up the phone.

"Huh? No Hi, no hello?" He asked while Preeti continued rhyming with his sentence.

"Only gossip, dear fellow!"

"Okay! " He told her about everything that happened and she was giggling all the while.

"Abhimanyu Singh, who doesn't let people speak in front of him was silently hearing a girl named Divisha." Preeti said, both of them started laughing. Anand left talking to her while someone was standing behind a pillar from the very start and saw and heard both the incidents. The person was holding a paper cup which was now crushed in anger. That person stormed out of the area with red eyes and angry expressions.

After leaving the company, Divisha went to check on her brother's office. And after having dinner at a restaurant, she left for her penthouse.

Next day

Divisha came to the office and after giving a few tasks to her team, she started making the reports.

It was evening when she thought of having coffee. She headed to the pantry and grabbed a cup of coffee from the machine. When she was turning, her shoulder bumped with someone and coffee fell on her hand.

"Aahh..." She said in pain as the hot liquid fell on her hand.

"I'm so sorry, mam. Oh my god!" Naina, Abhimanyu's secretary said in a hurry, tension lingering in the atmosphere.

"It's okay." Divisha said and put her hand under the nearby tap.

"Mam, I'm so sorry. I didn't do it on purpose, I don't know how it happened." Naina said tearing up.

"Aree It's okay. It happens." Divisha said with a smile and asked Naina to not take stress. Divisha took an ice pack and gently applied it on her hand.
She went into her cabin and rested for a while. When she saw the burn was not much, she removed the ice pack and started doing her work.

After some time, she took the report and went towards Anand's cabin. She entered the cabin and found Abhimanyu and Anand were sitting on the nearby sofa discussing something.

She showed the report to Anand,who passed it to Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu was going through the report when Anand's sentence grabbed his attention.

"What happened to your hand, Divisha?" Divisha looked at Anand and then hid her hand behind awkwardly smiling.

"Nothing sir, a little coffee fell on it." Anand nodded even though he didn't believe her because her hand had reddened and swelled.

Before Abhimanyu could see her hand, she hid it behind so he continued his work. After checking the report, he passed her the file and gave a nod.

"Sir, actually I need someone's help with the report for today so please can you ask someone." Anand looked at the time in his watch and sighed.

"I think everyone must have left till now..... Abhimanyu can help you with it." Anand said after thinking for a while. Abhimanyu looked at Anand with wide eyes.

"Sir but I won't be able to stay in the office because of.... My hand." Divisha hesitated to take his help but then Anand said something which shocked both of them.
