Destiny or Coincidence?

Chapter 14

Athira Patel

After completing our lunch we went down to meet karthik and Sahana. But they both already went to their training sessions it seems. So we too departed to our rooms after saying goodbye and to meet outside in the evening.

When I have entered into the conference room I can see that there are only two members present and rest of them still need to come. I went to my seat and placed my bag on the floor while taking my seat when someone called me from behind me.

"Hey Athira, you too are not shy type right?" Chandan asked me dragging his chair near to mine.

"What? Why do you ask like that" I asked him confused to why he got that doubt.

"Ya, because I tried to talk with Divya sometime ago, but she was so shy that she only answered my questions and nothing else. And I don't want the only other girl in our team to be shy too. So just clarifying my doubt you see" he said giving me his wide smile.

"Oh Divya. Ya even I too noticed that she is a bit shy. And don't worry, I am not shy definitely. " I said smiling at him.

"Thank God Athira." Said Ivan dragging his chair too near to mine. "Hai. We haven't officially met gorgeous. I am Ivan and people call me Ive when they love me" He said winking at me.

"Hai Ivan. Nice to meet you. But don't you think that this type of flirting became old." I asked making a look of thinking to which both of them laughed.

"Oh no. That's not fair Athira. Such a beautiful girl like you should not throw away a handsome guy like me you know" Ivan said as if he is the most handsome guy in the world.

"You know you have to try new types to flirt with a girl. These are old ways. Update Ivan." I said laughing to which he huffed his chest showing he is more than that.

"Burn." Chandan said laughing and tapping Ivan's shoulder. "You are awesome Athira. No one can easily flirt with you right. " Chandan asked smiling at me.

"Ya. You can say that. I have a friend who is a playboy too. So you can say that I got used to these type of old tricks" I said looking at both of us and winking.

"You think these are old ways. I will show you my new ways . Wait and see" Ivan said huffing his chest showing his male ego. I think I have busted his male ego.

"Bring it on Ivan" I said winking to which Chandan laughed making us all laugh when the rest of the team members came inside with Abhilash. The moment I saw him my laughter died down making my heart beat faster. I averted my eyes to see Ivan and Chandan seated on either side of me.

"Ok guys. I hope you enjoyed your lunch." Abhilash said standing near the table leaning on it and folding his hands. "Now everyone take this file and look into it. This is what your task will be to complete your design. I will give you one week of time to complete this design. Everyone will get a different one. So there won't be any copying" He explained while distributing our files.

After I got my file I have opened it to see I got the task to design a bedroom with furniture and classy but trendy looking walls. Looking at a task seems easy but it's not. Giving it a classy and at the same time trendy takes much work. I still like this task and I am eager to start it.

Someone got inside carrying the laptop bags with them and disturbed it to each of them and went out. We carefully placed them down and looked at Abhilash for further instructions.

"Now that you got your laptop bags, you can sign in to your personal account to check your official mail I'd details. I hope you all got the access cards." He asked to which we all nodded. "Good. Now come with me. I will show you to your places." He said getting to the front doors. We all got up with him and went out behind him.
