✯
Kiara Bansal didn't move to the city because she had some grand dream. Her parents simply knew she was capable of more and gently pushed her out of her comfort zone, hoping she'd build a life bigger than the one she'd always known.
On the very first day of her internship, she confidently waves at a ridiculously handsome man she assumes is just another employee. Why? Because she never bothered looking up the CEO. In her defense, she'd always imagined CEOs as grumpy, bald men with reading glasses.
Well...
She'd just waved at the man who owns the entire company.
As if surviving that embarrassment wasn't enough, she finds out their best friends are dating. Which means escaping him is practically impossible. Dinners. Hangouts. Random plans. Somehow, they're always in the same room... and she's always one awkward sentence away from disappearing into the floor.
To Kunal Agarwal, she's pure chaos wrapped in confidence. Too loud. Too honest. Way too comfortable around him.
To Kiara, he's annoyingly composed, painfully intimidating, and somehow impossible to act normal around.
Somewhere between accidental conversations, shared glances, inside jokes, and moments that weren't supposed to matter, the awkwardness begins to fade. The distance quietly disappears, replaced by a comfort neither of them ever planned for.
They don't notice when annoyance turns into concern.
When silence starts saying more than words ever could.
Or when looking for each other becomes second nature.
Neither of them was trying to fall in love.
But destiny has a funny habit of putting them in the same room...
...until pretending they don't care becomes the hardest thing they've ever done.
