That night, at the rooftop restaurant, all her colleagues were shocked to see Rishika dancing with a different man, laughing and hugging him. No one believed that she could be like this as well. Usually at the office, Rishika is a different person. She will come early in the morning, go straight to her desk and bury herself in her work, most of the time she puts on her headphones so that no one will come to her to talk or gossip around the Office. She is the most uninterested creature on the floor, however, on the other side, she is also the most brilliant among all focused on her work, never missing a deadline and always gets the most appreciation her confining behavior attracts much gossip mongers, Some think that she must be having some troubles in her life, unhappy with her marriage blah blah, so that’s the reason why everyone was so flabbergasted to see her enjoying the Office party to the fullest, that too with some random guy who out of nowhere, asked her for dance and they immediately hit the dance floor. She was drinking shots and having a gala time with him, this kept everybody staring at her.
For that, she did not care even an inch after the dance. She even kissed the man hugged him and returned to the dinner table. It didn’t take much for her to realize the air around the table. To tease everyone more she thanked HR loudly for choosing that place, HR responded by thanking her for making it to the party, even though she lives far away from the venue. The curious ones around wittingly asked her if she wanted anyone to drop her at her home, she replied rather mischievously. No, but thanks, I will be going with that guy to his house, pointing at the same man She was dancing with. After some chitchat, everybody was ready to leave, she left the table and went straight to the mystery man, who was waiting for her. Their affection and closeness did not go unnoticed. She playfully winked at everyone and left. Now the challenge is to avoid tons of gossip she would face the next day, headphones could be her rescue weapon, but how will she circumvent the suspecting eyes? Well, nothing like that happened. As she entered the floor, everyone was normal and greeted her with a warm smile. HR came and said to her
"Someone had a nice time last night".
She just smiled.
Right before coming to the office, Rishika posted on her social media account about the previous night's party bash, and how her handsome husband accompanied her to spend some precious time with her. With both working and living in the time crunch situation they rarely get enough time to spend with each other so when she told him about the Office party and how she is finding excuses to dodge the invite. An amazing plan came to his mind which was well executed. Now everyone knows how amazing She is. Also, she likes to keep things private and wants it that way. of course, now everyone is waiting for the next office, Party.
-Renuka.
