Kaira's POV

Everything seemed to be falling into place. Rishav and I had settled into a rhythm of sorts, finding our way through the complexities of our relationship and the challenges that came with it. Yet, a playful idea had been brewing in my mind, a plan to inject a bit of fun into our otherwise serious lives.

One day, while we were at the office, I decided to put my plan into action. The office was bustling with activity, and I knew just how to capture Rishav's attention without him realizing it. My target was one of the employees, a charming young man named Arjun, who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

I approached Arjun's desk with a casual, yet purposeful stride. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and I could tell he was immediately intrigued.

"Hi, Arjun," I said, my voice light and flirtatious. "I've been meaning to discuss a few things with you."

He looked up from his work, clearly pleased by my attention. "Of course, Kaira. What can I help you with?"

I leaned in a little closer than necessary, letting my fingers brush lightly against his arm as I spoke. "I was thinking about the upcoming project. We need to ensure everything is perfect. I'm sure you can help me with that, right?"

Arjun nodded eagerly, his gaze fixed on me. "Absolutely. Just tell me what you need."

I smiled, feeling a thrill at the way his attention was entirely on me. "How about we discuss it over lunch? I'd love to get your insights and, of course, a bit of company."

He looked both surprised and pleased by the suggestion. "That sounds great. Let's do it."

Throughout the meeting, I made sure to keep the conversation engaging and light, maintaining a certain level of flirtation. My hand occasionally brushed his arm or shoulder, and I found myself enjoying the playful banter between us. The effect was exactly what I had hoped for; I could feel Rishav's gaze on us from across the room, his eyes dark with a mixture of curiosity and frustration.

During our conversation, I made sure to be subtly touchy, letting my fingers linger a bit too long on his arm, and maintaining eye contact that was perhaps a bit too intense. It was all in good fun, but I could tell it was having the desired effect.

As I stood up to leave, I leaned in close to Arjun, my voice dropping to a whisper. "I'm looking forward to our lunch. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun."

Arjun's smile widened, and I could see the admiration in his eyes. "I'm looking forward to it too."

I walked away from his desk with a satisfied grin, knowing full well that Rishav had witnessed every interaction. I hoped this would stir a bit of jealousy, and maybe a dash of reflection on his part.

When I returned to my own desk, Rishav was waiting for me, his expression a mix of annoyance and curiosity. "What was that all about?"

I met his gaze with a playful smile. "What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean, Kaira," he said, his voice low and tense. "Why were you flirting with Arjun?"

I shrugged, feigning innocence. "Just having a bit of fun, Rishav. Is that a problem?"

His eyes narrowed, but before he could say anything more, I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, giving him a cheeky smile. "Don't worry too much. It's all in good fun."
