Long, Intense Office Romance

– The Interview That Changed Everything

Aarohi Mehta had one rule—never let a

man define her.

She had fought her way through a world dominated by power-hungry, businessmen, fake smiles, and ruthless competition.

Now, standing outside the glass-walled office of Malhotra Enterprises, she took a deep breath.

This job was everything. If she nailed the interview, she’d finally escape her past and prove herself.

But she wasn’t prepared for him.

Riyan Malhotra—the CEO.

A man known for his cold, ruthless business tactics… and his devastatingly good looks.

When she stepped inside, their eyes met, and for the first time in years—he hesitated.

The Fire Between Them

The first few weeks at Malhotra Enterprises were… intense.

Aarohi was brilliant at her job. Sharp, confident, fearless.

But Riyan?

He was impossible.

Demanding. Perfectionist. And absolutely, undeniably distracting.

Every time she was in a room with him, she felt his presence like a storm waiting to consume her.

Late nights in the office turned into stolen glances.

Accidental touches that lingered too long.

Tension so thick, it was only a matter of time before they snapped.

And one night, they did.

It started with an argument.

"You think you can intimidate me?"

Aarohi challenged, standing her ground.

Riyan stepped closer, his eyes darkening. "I don’t need to intimidate you. You already feel it, don’t you?"

Her breath caught. "Feel what?"

"This."

And before she could stop herself—she kissed him first, Hard and Fierce. Like a challenge.

And he kissed her back, like he was claiming her.

The Jealousy That Ignited a Fire

Aarohi thought that one kiss would be enough.

It wasn’t.

Because after that night, everything changed.

Riyan became possessive, Protective.

She saw it in the way his jaw clenched when other men talked to her.

The way he burned with jealousy when she laughed at someone else’s joke.

And one night, at a company event, he finally lost control.

Aarohi was talking to a client—a handsome, charming businessman.

Riyan watched from across the room, his hands tightening into fists.

Then, suddenly—he was behind her, his hand on her waist.

"We need to talk," he murmured, his lips brushing her ear.

"I’m busy," she said, her pulse racing.

"Not anymore."

And before she could argue, he dragged her into a dark corridor—and kissed her like he was losing his mind.

"You’re mine" he growled against her lips.

"Don’t ever forget that."

And that night?

They didn’t make it home.

They barely made it to his office before clothes hit the floor and all rules were forgotten.

When Love Becomes a Weakness

What they had was undeniable.

But Riyan had one weakness—he didn’t believe in love.

And when Aarohi realized that, it broke her.

One night, after a passionate evening together, she asked softly—

"What are we?"

Riyan tensed.

"We don’t need labels, Aarohi."

Her heart sank.

"So, I’m just another woman to you?"

He didn’t answer.

And that was enough.

She walked away.

And this time?

He let her go.

But he never expected it to hurt this much.

The Breaking Point

Days passed. Weeks.

Riyan buried himself in work, but nothing felt the same without her.

And when he saw her laughing with another man?

Something inside him snapped.

That night, he showed up at her apartment, banging on the door.

When she opened it, she gasped. "Riyan?"

He stepped inside, slamming the door behind him.

"I can’t do this anymore."

She swallowed. "Do what?"

His hands framed her face, his voice raw.

"Pretend that I don’t love you."

Tears burned in her eyes. "You love me?"

He nodded, his forehead resting against hers.

"I love you so damn much, Aarohi. And if you walk away again… I won’t survive it."

She kissed him, pouring everything she felt into that one moment.

And this time?

She knew he wouldn’t let her go.

The Promise of Forever

Months later, the office buzzed with gossip.

Because the cold, ruthless CEO was no longer heartless.

He was in love.

And when Aarohi walked into his office one evening, she smirked.

"So, do I still have to call you sir?"

Riyan chuckled, pulling her onto his lap. "Only in the office, Jaan."

Her cheeks flushed. "And outside?"

He kissed her softly, whispering against her lips.

"Outside, you can call me yours."

And with that, they sealed their forever.

The End.

Final Thoughts?

This was a long, intense, and emotional office romance with passion, jealousy, deep connection, and a powerful love story.
