After some days

In the office, the meeting hall buzzed with chatter as everyone waited for the arrival of the new project manager. Sangeeta was caught up in the excitement, trying to piece together what she had heard from her colleagues.

"You know, I heard the new project manager is only 26," one colleague said, sounding impressed.

"Only 26? And he's handling so many projects? He must be some sort of genius," another colleague replied.

Sangeeta, intrigued by the speculation, leaned in to listen. Just then, the door to the meeting room creaked open, and the room fell silent. Everyone straightened up to greet the new project manager.

In walked a guy in a grey suit. As he stepped into the room, Sangeeta's jaw nearly dropped. It was him-the man she had been searching for at the bookstore, the very same guy she had met in the rain.

Sangeeta's mind raced

Sangeeta's mind raced. "Oh my goodness, it's him! What is he doing here? Am I dreaming or what?"

Arunoday, with a composed demeanor, introduced himself. "Hello everyone, I'm Arunoday Ray, and I'll be managing this new project."

As he spoke, Sangeeta's eyes locked onto his. For a brief moment, their gazes met. Sangeeta's heart fluttered, but Arunoday quickly looked away, maintaining his composure.

Sangeeta's heart pounded. "Arunoday? That's his name? He's the project manager? Really? So, he's here every day? Why didn't I notice him before? I was waiting at the bookstore for someone who's been in this building all along!"

Sangeeta's thoughts were a whirlwind. "Did he recognize me? No, probably not. I'm just an average girl whom he helped that night. But I hope he remembers me a little bit. Maybe?" She sighed deeply, lost in her thoughts.

While Arunoday explained the details of the project, Sangeeta was lost in her thoughts, her mind swirling with excitement and confusion. She sighed deeply, her emotions running high.

Megha, who had been watching her closely, gave her a sharp pinch. "Hey, wake up! What's going on with you?"

Sangeeta, snapping back to reality, saw everyone staring at her. She immediately stood up, her face flushing red. "I'm so sorry! Didn't mean to cause a scene!" she stammered, bowing her head in apology.

Arunoday, trying to maintain his professional demeanor, said, "It's alright. Now, please sit down and pay attention."

He turned back to the projector, a small, amused smile appeared in the corner of his lips.

Megha leaned in and whispered, "Come on, spill! What's going on?"

Sangeeta, struggling to regain her composure, hissed back, "I'll explain after the meeting. Just keep it down!"

As the meeting wrapped up and everyone started to leave, Sangeeta told everything to Megha in a low voice.

Megha was practically bounced with excitement. She grabbed Sangeeta and pulled her out of the room. "Whoa! Sizzy! This is epic! Now I'm going to witness an office romance in real-time!"

Sangeeta, confused, slapped a hand over Megha's mouth. "Shush! Keep it down please! You're going to get us both in trouble. Everyone's staring!"

Her colleagues, now very curious, gathered around. "What romance? Tell us too!" they demanded, excitement evident in their voices.

Sangeeta, red-faced and dragging Megha along, said, "Oh, it's nothing! She's just hungry and being dramatic."

As she pulled Megha away, Arunoday watched the scene from the office, a smile spreading across his face. "Sizzy, huh? Her pet name is adorable." he thought, adjusting his tie with a pleased grin.

Sangeeta's heart raced as she left the meeting room, her mind buzzing with the excitement of having found the mysterious man she'd been searching for.
