Her cheeks heated at the last part. She could sense her arrogant neighbor’s gaze on her. He sat on the chair next to the couch.

“Yes. He’s definitely a decent cook,” she remarked.

She was yet to taste the food. Quickly, she took a bite of the aromatic rice.

She nearly had a food orgasm.

Oh God.

Unable to stop herself, she had a few more bites. It was the best she had ever tasted. None of the restaurants could ever match the rich, flavorful yet complex taste.

“I’m glad you approve and think I’m a decent cook,” a deep, amused voice remarked.

She didn’t realize her eyes had fallen close. Immediately, she shot them open, only to see the annoying yet sexy smirk of her arrogant neighbor.

Annoyed, she dragged her eyes away from him. She turned to Sameer and smiled widely.

“I thought I would come across you at your work today,” she said.

Sameer looked surprised.

Smiling, she explained. “I went to the Prism building for an appointment.”

“Oh.” Sameer smiled. “You should have called me. I would have come and met you.”

Tanvi shook her head with a laugh. “I know. But I realized I don’t have your phone number. I’m going to have to take it now.”

Sameer nodded with a blush.

Her eyes couldn’t help but fall to the other man, who was the complete opposite of Sameer. The arrogant jerk was watching her with a lazy, knowing look.

Dragging her eyes away from him, she ignored him again.

“I actually went there looking for a job,” she continued to speak with Sameer.

Sameer looked surprised. “That’s great! I’m sure you’ll get the job.”

She laughed. “I hope so. But I haven’t applied for a position yet. And I heard the company is quite picky about hiring.”

Sameer nodded. “Yes, they are picky. But I can help you. I can forward your resume as an employee referral.”

She smiled widely. “Oh. That will be of great help. Thank you so much, Sameer.”

“Arjun can send a copy of your resume too. Two referrals could help you even more.”

She froze mid-bite.

Sameer smiled. “Since Arjun attended the interview more recently, he can help you with the process.”

Suddenly, Tanvi remembered the first time she met the arrogant neighbor. He had been going to an interview at Prism Corporation.

She continued to smile. Although, it became forced. “Yes. I will take... Arjun’s help too if needed.”

The rest of the dinner continued with light chit-chat about the company. Sameer kept the conversation going while she and Arjun remained mostly quiet. Just when she thought she would have to come up with an excuse to leave, it was Sameer who got up first.

“I have a meeting in a few minutes. I’ll speak to you later, Tanvi.”

Tanvi nodded with a smile. “Sure. Thank you once again for offering to help.”
