ishita / jai

it's your dad's birthday tomorrow. you have a party to attend

i have to go?

jai!

you coming, right?

yes! i'm excited. do they serve good food?

you act like you haven't eaten good food in years

it's free rich people food!

the lunch you ate yesterday and every day of the three weeks before that is also free rich people food.

are you offended? lololol

i didn't mean it like that

you cook so fucking well but it tastes like home. the food at the party will be fancy, too hotel-like and i know if i had to buy it myself, i'd have to sell my kidney and my liver.

my food tastes like home?

yeah. i thought i'd told you

you didn't

oh. weird. ig i said it in my head too many times but never said it out loud

thanks

i should be the one thanking you, jai. you've given me a job and you feed me everyday. saying the truth is the least i can do

you realise you're giving me too many compliments these days?

huh? am i?

i'll keep it to a minimum then

i don't mind

too late, asshole

i heard you came up with the idea to save Project Edit. it was a great idea.

i saw jeffina stressing over it while i was making myself hot chocolate and i threw my idea her way if it can help her in any way

she started screaming and hugging me like a lunatic teddy bear

yeah jeffina is never afraid to show the child in her. she comes up with the most creative ideas.

kudos to you for picking her. she's an asset

everyone in this company is an asset. except maybe tarun and oviya. i still don't know what they do in the office

lmao

they are in the social media team. they're shooting some reel or something every other day. they are so fun

to you. they look like clowns to me, running around the office. everyone seems to get a laugh out of them though so no problem i guess

you're such an asshole

i know

i meant it in a nice way

i know ishita

after a month of being called an asshole, don't you think i would know them apart?

uh

um you don't have work to do?

taking a break

since when do you take a break?

since my assistant made it a point to make a schedule with ample breaks in it

i didn't know you were following through with it. i thought you were secretly skipping it and starting on the next thing to do in that time

i wouldn't do that to you. you put so much work to squeeze those breaks in every day even when i tell you not to bother

i don't do it for you! it is so suffocating to look at it so i do it for my mental peace

whatever it is

i kind of like it

what?

the breaks in between

you just text me during the breaks

that's the only thing i want to do

don't be weird

weird? how?

just shut up and go back to work

break's over

bye
