♡CHAPTER 36♡

After freshening up, I grabbed a towel and began to dry my hair as I made my way to the room where Adhrit typically works.

The lights were on, piquing my curiosity.

Peeking inside, I found Adhrit deeply absorbed in his laptop. His focus made him look incredibly attractive-the version of Adhrit that I truly admire.

Suddenly, he lifted his gaze from the screen, and our eyes met.

He smiled at me, asking, "What are you doing here?"

I responded, "Oh, I was just thinking. Aren't you going to sleep?"

Just as he was about to answer, a notification popped up on his laptop, pulling his attention back.

A moment later, he glanced my way again and said, "I'm sorry, but I have some work to finish. You go on ahead; I'll wrap this up quickly and join you."

He smiled as he spoke, and I nodded, leaving the room.
Oddly enough, I felt a wave of melancholy wash over me when he said he would join me later.

It was as if I longed to curl up beside him and drift off to sleep. I can't help it; it's hard not to feel this way when he behaves so charmingly.
Before I knew it, I had settled into bed and was fast asleep, my head resting on the pillow.

I opened my eyes, the early morning light filtering through the window.

Today marked the end of my internship, a bittersweet moment. While I felt relief at reaching this milestone, I couldn't shake the sadness of parting ways with Miss Bhatt and Mrs. Gupta.

Then there was Yash-ever since that incident, our conversations had been strained. I made a mental note to apologize for any hurt I may have caused him.

Just as I was about to move, I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me from behind. It was Adhrit.

I placed my hand over him, gently removing his arm so I could turn to see him.

He was sleeping soundly, looking almost too perfect.

My fingers swept through his hair, and suddenly, I craved the comfort of his embrace. I leaned in and hugged him tightly, burying my face against his chest.

I could feel his hand resting on my back, providing an inexplicable sense of ease.

Yet, I wondered what tasks he had on his mind. Perhaps he was looking to explore something new.
For now, though, I wanted to linger in this cosy cocoon a little longer.

A brief extension of slumber wouldn't hurt-just five more minutes.

His soothing scent drew me in, and I quickly drifted back into a peaceful sleep.

My eyes snapped open and I jolted upright in bed.

Expletives escaped my lips as I glanced at my phone - 7:30 a.m.

I had a mere 30 minutes before I needed to be at the office.
Adhrit was nowhere to be found.

With no time to search for him, I briskly made my way to the bathroom.
Emerging shortly after, I quickly dressed and hurried downstairs towards the door.

To my surprise, there stood Adhrit by the entrance, almost as if he was waiting for me.

"What are you doing here?" I inquired, to which he responded with an air of entitlement,

"I mean, this house is as much mine as it is yours, so I believe I have every right to be here."

His handsome face amused me, making it hard to stay mad.
