It was the time of the day, the sun was shining over the huge building of Khanna enterprise. The receptionist kept the phone and Avni entered the office and she came to the reception. The receptionist smiled to see her. 
Receptionist: Hello, ma'am 
Avni: Hi, how are you? 
Receptionist: good. How are you? 
Avni: fine. Ab, Neil? 
Receptionist: he is in his cabin. 
Avni: alone? 
Receptionist: yeah but he is working so he asked to not let anyone enter. 
Avni: you don't worry about it. I will handle him. 
They smiled. 
Receptionist: ok. 
Avni: don't inform him about me. 
Avni whispered: it's a surprise. 
The receptionist whispered: ok. All the best. 
Avni smiled and she goes. Neil was engrossed in studying a file and here like always, Neil's heart caught the signals of Avni's heart. Neil looked up and he thinks. Neil shook his head while smiling. 
Neil: Neil, stop behaving like filmy heroes. 
Neil looked at the heart side. 
Neil: and you, stop disturbing me, a lot of work is pending. So (Neil kept his finger on his lips) ssshhhh. 
Neil smiled and looked at the file. Neil was not able to concentrate and he sighed and he ruffled his hair. 
Neil: Neil, what are you doing, during working hours, think from the mind, not from the heart. Concentrate on work. 
The door knocked. Neil looked at the door and then he thinks. Neil looked at his file. Again, he heard the knock and the door opened. 
Neil: I am busy right now, come after some time. 
Person: but, you can not say no to your boss. 
Neil looked up and he was surprised to see Avni. Neil smiled. 
Neil: Avni. 
Avni: yes. 
Neil closed the file and got up. 
Neil: what a pleasant surprise. 
Avni smiled and came to him. Avni kept the bag of the lunch box on the table. Neil saw that and then he looked at Avni. 
Neil: what is it? 
Avni: Lunch time. 
Neil saw the time on his watch. 
Neil: 01: 30. 
Avni: yes, Mr Khanna. 
Neil looked at Avni and smiled. 
Neil: I didn't realise the time. 
Avni: I knew it that's the reason, I came here with the lunch because I knew that once you get engrossed in work then you forget every other thing. 
Neil smiled. 
Neil: except, you. 
Avni was stunned then they smiled. 
Avni: now, come on, have lunch and then I will help you with your work. 
Neil was surprised. 
Neil: you will help me? 
Avni: yes, why? Can't I help you? 
Neil was looking at Avni. 
Neil: tell me honestly, you came here to lessen the workload from my shoulders, right?
