Chapter 21 A New Colleague

• Four and half months later…
• Time flew at its own pace without any care of anyone. Summer, Spring and Fall all came and went away and now it was Winter's turn. Fortunately or unfortunately this January, it didn’t snow in Toronto. Even though the cold was here but the snow had yet to come. Celeste who was sitting on the table near the window of the tall building smiled , looking at the scene in front of her. Diana was dancing crazily with Mathew on the table while everyone else was cheering up for them. There was loud music going on in the background and everyone was busy dancing, drinking, eating and laughing. Celeste took a sip of her juice while watching Diana's craziness. She had called her a few times to join her but Celeste had refused every time with laughter. She didn’t want to be involved in her craziness. She was too shy for that. It was the day of their annual office party. Everyone was enjoying a festive air. Celeste didn’t want to come at first but Diana didn’t listen to her and brought her here.
• " Mind if I sit here?" Suddenly someone said from otherside making Celeste turn around. She found it was Ashton. One of the four people who were selected with her when she had first applied for this job. She didn’t get to talk to him before as he was appointed on a different floor than her. Celeste had to admit Ashton was a really handsome man with a height around 6 feet and a slim built body. He had blue eyes and bronze colour hair. He always wore thick glasses on his eyes adding to more sexiness. Celeste averted her eyes and plastered a smile on her face when she realised she was staring at him for too long.
