White Tulips

Chapter- 4

As they returned to their city, Isha spoke up, "Neil, could you drop me off at the library? I need to pick up some books from there."

Neil nodded, "Sure thing, Isha. I'll take you there."

After a few minutes, Neil pulled up to the library and put the car in park. "We're here."

Isha smiled respectfully, "Thanks, Neil. I appreciate it."

Neil smiled back, "No problem. It was nice meeting you, Isha."

Isha echoed, "Likewise, Neil. Nice meeting you too."

Isha waved goodbye as she stepped out of the car. Neil smiled and drove off, watching her disappear into the library before merging back into traffic.

Isha walked home, her mind still replaying the events of the day. She was grateful for Neil's help and couldn't believe how much her day had changed.

As she settled into her new apartment, she felt a mix of emotions: excitement and nerves about her first day of work tomorrow. She had moved to this city for this job, and it was a fresh start for her. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of determination. Tomorrow was going to be a big day. With a sense of resolve, she prepared for bed, ready to face whatever tomorrow would bring.

The next morning, the sun peeked through the windows, casting a warm glow over Isha's new apartment. She woke up feeling refreshed and energized, the excitement and nerves from the previous day still lingering. She stretched her arms and yawned, feeling the softness of her new bed. After a quick shower and dressing in her professional attire, she headed to the kitchen to start her day with a cup of steaming hot coffee and a nutritious breakfast. As she sipped her coffee, she gazed out the window at the bustling city below, feeling a sense of anticipation and wonder at the new chapter unfolding before her.

With her breakfast finished and her bag packed, Isha took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for her first day at the new job. She double-checked her appearance in the mirror, smoothing out any wrinkles, and headed out the door, ready to take on the day with confidence and enthusiasm. The crisp morning air greeted her as she stepped out into the city, the sounds of traffic and chatter filling the air. With a spring in her step, she made her way to the office, eager to meet her new colleagues and dive into her new role.

As Isha walked into the office, she was greeted by a bustling atmosphere and friendly faces. She was introduced to her new colleagues, who welcomed her with warm smiles. As she settled into her new workstation, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. Just as she was getting familiar with her new surroundings, she heard a commotion at the entrance. She turned to see a tall, familiar figure walking into the office, It was Neil.

It dawned on her that it was his company.
She watched with interest as he made his way through the office, nodding briefly at a few colleagues before disappearing into his office. He didn't notice her, too focused on his own thoughts. Isha smiled to herself, feeling a sense of intrigue. She had no idea that the man who had helped her the day before was the CEO of the company she had just joined. She refocused on her work, eager to learn and grow in her new role.

As the day drew to a close, Neil made his way to the elevator, lost in thought. He was about to step in when he saw Isha already inside, pressing the buttons. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped in beside her. The doors closed, and they stood in silence for a moment, the only sound being the soft hum of the elevator.

As they walked out of the building together, Neil turned to her and asked, "How did you end up here?"

Isha replied, "I'm part of the design team. I just joined today."

Neil's eyes widened in surprise, "What? How did you...? I mean, welcome to the team, Isha!" He looked at her with a mix of confusion and curiosity, "I had no idea we were hiring for design."

Isha laughed, "I guess I'm a surprise addition!"

Neil nodded.

Neil continued to walk alongside Isha, still looking puzzled but also curious. "So, how's your first day been?" he asked, his tone a bit softer now.

Isha smiled, "It's been good so far. Just getting familiar with the team and the workspace."

Neil nodded, "Good, good. Glad to hear that. And how are you finding the company culture?"

Isha thought for a moment before responding, "It seems really collaborative and supportive so far. Everyone's been very welcoming."

Neil's expression turned thoughtful, "Yeah, we try to foster that kind of environment here. Glad you're feeling it."

They walked in silence for a few more steps before Neil spoke again, "Well, I should let you get back to your day. Nice running into you, Isha."

And with that, he turned and headed towards his car, leaving Isha to continue her way home.

Fate really brings people closer❤️
