As they sat in the car, Bhumija shot Vardaan a playful glare. "Okay, Mr. Malhotra, remember our plan? Just act like a normal colleague today!"
Vardaan smirked. "Normal? How can I resist teasing my beautiful wife? I can't even shower you with compliments!"
"Because everyone will notice! I don't want people treating me differently," she replied.
"Fine, but I'll miss you," he said, his tone sincere.
Bhumija smiled, leaning closer. "Aw, I'll miss you too! Just remember, I'll be back to steal all your snacks later."
"Deal," taking her hand and kissing it, both feeling the warmth of their connection as they prepared to face the day ahead.
