Riya didn't see it coming. After that evening, everything had changed. Her interactions with Vikram seemed to have crossed an invisible line, blurring the boundary between work and personal life. They had met a few times after dinner—lunches, casual chats during client meetings, even spontaneous coffee breaks. Each time, she couldn't help but feel the magnetic pull between them, the growing connection that wasn't just professional anymore. But things weren't as simple as they seemed.

The next morning, Riya was on a call with her colleague, Neha, when she received a message from Vikram.
