She needed a job. She didn't expect it to be his. Aanya Sharma has spent eight months collecting rejections. She's competent, smart, ambitious running out of options. So when Malhotra Industries calls her back the very next morning, she tells herself not to ask questions. She should have asked questions. Because the man sitting at the head of that conference room is Vikram Malhotra — and she knows that face. She walked away from it four years ago for reasons that made sense then and feel a lot more complicated now. He gives her the job anyway. Doesn't explain why. Doesn't have to. What follows is neither clean nor simple. There's a woman named Riya who has loved him for twenty years and has the kind of history with him that Aanya can't compete with and refuses to hate her for. There's a man from Aanya's past who has just reappeared at the worst possible moment, carrying things she thought she'd buried. And there's Vikram himself — cold one day, unbearably human the next, the kind of man who says everything through what he refuses to say out loud. Aanya tells herself she isn't jealous. She tells herself this is just a job. She tells herself a lot of things at eleven PM when she can't sleep. How long can she sustain lying to herself? This isn't just a story about two people. People get jealous. They misunderstand each other. And still they can't let go of each other, whereas it becomes loving someone means watching them choose fear over happiness. Aanya keeps telling herself it's just a job, but things change when she goes there.
