Cynthia had become boring for him His interest was now on an innocent beauty in his office so instead of going home after dinner he dropped a reluctant Cynthia at her home.
Since the office party was in two days he decided to invite Jiya as his date .
When Jiya came with his cup of coffee he asked her.," Jiya there is a party in our office on Saturday to celebrate our new partnership with Nikhil. Will you accompany me to the party?"
"I am sorry Sagar but Nikhil had askedme last week that he would take me to a business dinner andIi accepted I didn't know that he was speaking of our office party."
"Oh well not a problem I am sure Cynthia will be happy to come along. You continue with your work."
He banged the table when she left the room
Why eas Nikhil always a step ahead of him?
For two days they worked in silence not speaking much.
Once or twice Sagar caught her talking and laughing with Nikhil over the room phone.
On Saturday Jiya had left office around 4 pm. A day before the party she had gone shopping with Myra who had insisted on buying a red ball gown for her.Jiya was not very much into western clothes or bold colours but Myra was the opposite.
