As the night unfolded in the cozy ambiance of Meena's living room, the two of them found themselves engrossed in another Korean drama series recommended by Meena. The screen cast a soft glow over their faces as they laughed and gasped at the twists and turns of the plot, momentarily lost in the world of romantic intrigue and melodrama.

However, their tranquility was abruptly shattered by a sudden knock at the door, jolting them out of their reverie. Aoom, ever the gracious host, rose to answer it, her curiosity piqued by the unexpected interruption.

To their surprise, standing on the other side of the threshold was Charlotte, a bundle of energy and enthusiasm, clutching a tub of ice cream in one hand. Before Aoom could even utter a word of greeting, Charlotte launched into a rapid-fire explanation.

"Meena darling! I brought ice cream! I need to freeze my brain because Engfa—" Her words trailed off as she caught sight of Aoom standing in the doorway, her expression frozen in surprise. With a sheepish grin, Charlotte quickly backtracked and closed the door, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Aoom, bemused by the unexpected turn of events, reopened the door and peered at Charlotte with a quizzical expression. "You're here for Meena, right?" she ventured, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes.

Behind Aoom, Meena emerged from the shadows, her laughter bubbling forth uncontrollably as she reached out to pull Charlotte inside. "Come on in, Charlotte!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with mirth. "You've got perfect timing!"

Settling into the living room, the trio found themselves in a tangle of laughter and teasing, Charlotte's embarrassment quickly giving way to her usual playful banter. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she turned to Meena, her gaze flickering between her and Aoom.

As they bantered back and forth, the conversation took a teasing turn as Charlotte, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, directed her playful inquiry at Meena. "So, Meena darling," she began, a sly grin playing on her lips, "care to explain why your boss, the formidable CEO Aoom, is here wearing your clothes?"

Aoom's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, her usually composed demeanor momentarily faltering as she shifted uncomfortably under Charlotte's scrutiny. The CEO, known for her impeccable sense of style and polished appearance, found herself in an unexpectedly vulnerable position, clad in the casual attire of her secretary's home.

Meena couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, her laughter bubbling forth uncontrollably as she exchanged amused glances with Charlotte. Despite Aoom's dignified stature and authoritative presence, seeing her dressed down in Meena's clothing lent a touch of lightheartedness to the moment, humanizing the otherwise formidable CEO.

With a sheepish grin, Aoom attempted to regain her composure, offering a self-deprecating shrug as she attempted to play off the humorous situation. "Well, you see," she began, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement, "I suppose I just couldn't resist the cozy charm of Meena's wardrobe."
