"Frost and Petals" weaves a tale of contrasts, where the chilly demeanor of a CEO clashes with the warmth of his clumsy yet adorable secretary. Despite his reputation for aloofness, the CEO finds himself drawn to her genuine kindness and endearing q...
It's 8:30 in the morning, and Noor is still asleep, even though she has to go to the office. Completely unaware of this stress, she's peacefully sleeping, when her mom enters the room and wakes her up for work. "Mommaah...Let me sleep just for few more mints" Noor said to her mother in sleepy voice. "Noor it's already 8:30. You should get up now or you'll be late for the office as usual" Her mother, sighing, tells her as it's her daily routine to wake up late. "WTH!!!! Why didn't you wake me up earlier, Mom?"....... I'm already trying to wake you up for almost half an hour. "ahh whatever.....Is breakfast ready and what's about Aliyan bhai?" She asked while rushing towards the bathroom..... "Everything is ready, my dear, except for you." Her mother said to her in a sarcastic tone...

After completing her quick morning routine, she slipped into a chic black kurta and tailored trousers. Draping a delicate dupatta around her neck, she adorned her ears with petite earrings and slid her feet into elegant black sandals. With her hair cascading freely over her shoulders, she radiated a casual yet effortless charm.

After getting ready, she descended the stairs to join her family for breakfast. She greeted her parents with a cheerful 'salam.'.... "Good morning , Sleepy beauty, come have a seat here" Aliyan teased her and bowed a little for her in a dramatic way... "Oh, Bhai , I didn't sleep that much." She said, defending herself, even though she also knew that Aliyan was right.
"Bhai, how long did it take you to get ready today?" She asked after sitting on her chair "umm. Almost 20 minutes. I think." Aliyan replied to her casually, unaware of what was going on in his little sister's mind.. "Wohhoo!! I get ready only in 10 minutes" She said excitedly as she had just set a world record... "So what i get up before you" Aliyan proudly said that..
"But I'm the one who gets ready first" (she said happily) "But it doesn't matter because I'm the one who came to the dining table first." Aliyan said, giving her a reality check.... "But still yo....." Before she could complete her sentence, her mother's words interrupted her. "Both of you simply zip your mouths shut and peacefully enjoy your breakfast"...... "Mom, if we zip up our mouths, how are we supposed to eat? " Noor asked, and Aliyan gave her a thumbs up, saying, 'Point!' And at that moment, their mother shot them a death glare, and they sat back in silence.

"Slow down, my daughter; no one is going to eat from your plate." Noor's father said to her after seeing her eat her breakfast at an impatient speed. "I'm done. Bhai, you're a loser. Look, I'm already finished." She said while wiping her face. Her father chuckled upon realizing the reason she was eating at such a pace. " You cheater you have to tell me first. You didn't tell me that's why you won."..... " Bhai, Now you are making lame excuses....looser" She said while giggling cutely.
"Sometimes I wonder if they're really in their 20s" their father said while looking at his clueless children. "I believe it's imperative that we arrange for their brain check-up" their mother exclaimed in a serious tone. "Yes, you're right. We should consult a neurologist for them."
