Vedang had read all the updated chapters by Buttercup. He had also sent her a DM. At this moment, he was in the shower. When he came out after a while, he had wrapped a snow-white towel around his lower body as his only clothing. Water was still dripping from his hair, and his broad chest was well on display. He checked his phone first thing, hoping for a reply from Buttercup. And Buttercup didn't disappoint him. He had received replies from her. Vedang immediately opened the DM and started reading. Buttercup had written something like this:

"Hello Mr. Hot Chocolate! Hope you're doing well. I'm glad to know that you liked today's updates. It also makes me really happy to hear that my books provide peace to readers like you. After all, I started writing with the goal of giving people a brief escape from their reality, even if it's just for a while. I hope you'll soon heal from the things you're going through. I'll pray for you. Affectionately, your author, Buttercup!"

This message was enough to bring a smile to Vedang's face. For some reason, reading the message gave him a sense of calm. He smiled and liked the message, then headed to the dressing room. A little later, he came out of the dressing room, now dressed in a black V-neck T-shirt and gray lowers. He didn't even dry his hair and lay down on the bed to sleep. He thought he might have trouble falling asleep today, but nothing like that happened. He soon drifted off, without even realizing when.

The next morning, Akshvi woke up a bit earlier than usual. It was her first day at the office, after all. She had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a bathrobe. Clothes were scattered across the bed in front of her, and she was confused about what to wear. Just then, her phone pinged with a notification. When she unlocked it, there was a message from Hot Chocolate. It read:

"Hello, Buttercup! Good morning."

"Hope you have a wonderful day."

Akshvi read the message and typed a reply, "Good morning."

She then resumed looking through her clothing options. It was clear she needed to go shopping soon, as she didn't have many suitable office outfits. In Patna, she had always preferred traditional wear. She only had one or two western outfits, which she wore occasionally for parties. But now, living in a big city like Mumbai, she would have to change her dressing style and get some office wear. These thoughts weighed on her as she sighed deeply. Just then, her phone buzzed again. It was another message from Hot Chocolate, "Well, what are you doing?"

Akshvi replied, "Getting ready for the office."

Seconds later, Hot Chocolate replied, "You work in an office? Like, you're working?"

Akshvi, "What kind of question is this? I said I'm getting ready for the office, so obviously, I work. Common sense."

"Umm... I'm really sorry if that offended you. I was just asking," Hot Chocolate replied.

Since she was already struggling to decide what to wear, Akshvi messaged, "Can you help me decide what I should wear to the office today?"

"Umm... yeah?" Hot Chocolate replied, clearly confused.

Akshvi quickly followed up, "Umm... sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No... I mean, it's okay. I think you should wear something formal in sea green. I'm sure you'll look beautiful in sea green," Hot Chocolate replied.
