White Tulips

Chapter-5

The office

Next day when Neil was entering the office, he saw Isha there and smiled very softly without anyone noticing. Isha smiled at him and he went in.

After sometime, through the glass partition, he can see Isha working. He gazes, mesmerized, at how beautiful she is looking. Her hair cascades down her back like a waterfall of night, with hints of dark chocolate and caramel that seem to dance in the fluorescent light. Her lips, a deep blush pink, curve into a subtle smile as she concentrates on her task. Her eyes, like two shimmering sapphires, sparkle with a quiet intensity, fringed with luscious lashes that add to their allure. As she works, her eyes light up with a soft glow, making Neil's heart skip a beat. He is transfixed by her beauty, his gaze frozen on her like a work of art.

He snapped out of his trance, realizing he'd been staring too long. "Get a grip, Neil," he thought, shaking his head. He tried to focus on his work, but his gaze kept drifting back to Isha.

Just then Rohan walked in, with a bright smile and spotted Isha, his eyes widening in surprise." Isha?! Wow, I didn't know you were joining our team!" he exclaimed, a huge grin spreading across his face.

Isha laughed, "Yeah, I'm the new recruit! Started yesterday."

Rohan looked thrilled, "That's amazing! How are you doing so far?"

Isha replied, "Good, thanks. Still finding my feet."

Rohan nodded, "I'm great, thanks for asking. Fantastic to see you again! What a wonderful surprise!"

"I can't believe we're gonna work together!" Rohan said, his enthusiasm evident.

"Me neither!" Isha replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"We're going to make an amazing team, I just know it!" Rohan exclaimed.

"Definitely," Isha agreed."We'll crush our projects and have some fun along the way."

Rohan grinned,"That's the spirit! Welcome to the team, Isha. Let's do this!"

Neil stood at his office window, gazing out at the city skyline. His eyes drifted to the floor below, where Isha and Rohan were working together. He watched them, his eyes fixed on Isha's dark hair and bright smile.

As he gazed down at her, he felt a sudden pang in his chest. It was a strange, unfamiliar sensation, one that left him feeling both curious and uneasy.

Neil's eyes remained fixed on Isha, his mind lost in thought. He couldn't explain what he was feeling, but he knew it was something significant.

In meeting room

Rohan walked into the meeting room with a cup of steaming coffee, a smile on his face. "Hey Isha, I brought your favorite coffee. Thought you might need a boost before our meeting."

Isha looked up from her notes, a bright smile spreading across her face. "Thanks, Rohan. You're a lifesaver!"

Rohan's eyes lingered on her smile, taking in the way her dark hair framed her face. "So, what's the plan for today's presentation?"

Isha's eyes sparkled as she began to explain her ideas. Rohan listened intently, nodding along, his gaze fixed on her face.

"That sounds great," Rohan said, impressed. "You've put a lot of thought into this."

Isha continued explaining her ideas, her confidence and enthusiasm evident in her voice. Rohan listened attentively, his eyes never leaving hers.

Just as Rohan and Isha were deeply engaged in their conversation, the door swung open and Neil walked in, his presence commanding attention. The room fell silent as everyone took their seats, awaiting the start of the meeting.

Rohan and Isha quickly parted, their smiles fading as they turned to face Neil. Neil's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on Isha for a moment before he began to speak.

"Alright, let's get started," Neil said, his voice firm and authoritative. "We have a lot to cover today."

The meeting began, with each team member presenting their updates and discussing their progress. Neil listened intently, his eyes frequently drifting back to Isha, his gaze fixed on her as she spoke and presented her ideas.

As the discussion progressed, Neil's attention remained focused on Isha, his eyes never leaving her face, as if he was trying to understand something about her.

As the day drew to a close, the office began to empty out. Isha and Rohan packed up their things and headed out together, chatting about their plans for the evening. Neil stood at the window, watching them leave, his eyes fixed on Isha.

"Hey, Isha, want to walk to the bus stop together?" Rohan asked, falling into step beside her.

Isha smiled, nodding. "Yeah, sure. I'd love to."

As they walked, Rohan told her about his weekend plans, making her laugh with a funny story about his cat. Neil watched them from the office window, his expression unreadable.

"Thanks for walking with me, Rohan," Isha said, as they approached the bus stop. "It's always more fun with company."

Rohan grinned. "Anytime, Isha. See you tomorrow?"

Isha smiled, waving goodbye as she boarded her bus. Rohan watched her go, then turned to head in the opposite direction. Neil's eyes lingered on the spot where Isha had disappeared from view, his gaze thoughtful.

Oh no! The man has started falling, what will happen next? Will neil fall for her? Will isha fall for neil?Will rohan.....
