Chapter 28 Desires In The Mirror"

• In the quietness of the dressing room, as Maithri prepared to change her dress and leave the office, she could hear the fading sounds of people leaving as the company's working hours came to an end. Just as she was about to close the door, Adhrith, a colleague, unexpectedly entered and gently placed his hand on the door. Maithri, taken aback, instinctively took a step back as he moved forward and quietly closed the door behind him, creating an atmosphere of privacy within the confines of the dressing room.
• The sudden entry and closing of the door left Maithri slightly startled, and her eyes widened in surprise. Adhrith, aware of the unexpected nature of his entrance, offered a reassuring smile. The dressing room, once filled with the hustle and bustle of colleagues preparing for various tasks, now held a different energy—one of secrecy and intimacy.
• Adhrith moved closer, Maithri instinctively took a step back, creating a subtle dance of anticipation between them. The dressing room, typically a space of quick changes and efficient preparations, now echoed with the synchronized rhythm of their heartbeats, an unspoken symphony in the air.
