14. Evil Cassandra

The journey back to London was uneventful as Ava managed to stick to Ameya during her travel and surprisingly Zayed didn't make a fuss.

Back in the office, Ava was subjected to the scrutiny of her colleagues.

The word had spread that Zayed and Ava got stuck alone during their journey to Delhi.

The envious stares and whispers are getting on her nerves.

But she couldn't react. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Zayed.

"Hello Ava" she looked up to see a woman caked in make up looking at her with a very

fake smile. But the malicious glint in her eyes gave it away.

"Hello" she said wondering what this woman, whose name is still unknown to her is doing at her desk.

"I'm Cassandra" she said smiling and Ava returned an equally fake smile back.

"How can I help you Cassandra" she asked.

"Oh no silly. I just came to introduce myself. You are new to our floor so you may not have many friends here and I thought why not make friends" she said

"Thank-you so much Cassandra"
