"I think you should start calling me Dev" he said, with a little bit of humor in his voice.

He got up from the table they were sitting at and moved towards the exit of the coffee shop. She interrupted him from behind.

"I don't think that's appropriate Mr. Dixit, considering the nature of our relationship"

He turned around to face her again. "Oh yeah...Why is that?"

She scoffed. "Maybe because you're my boss, and we need to maintain some professionalism."

"Professionalism, like boundaries we shouldn't cross? "he said.

"Exactly" she said triumphantly.

"You mean the same boundaries you cross with my mom and sisters everyday" he continued.

She began to argue which seemed like a default setting in her now. "Don't try to deny it, I've never heard you call my mom Mrs. Dixit once". She closed her mouth and pouted like a wounded kitten which he thought was beyond adorable.

She stood in thought for a few moments. "I see your point, Dev" tasting the word for the first time. "I guess you can also call me Sonakshi then" She said a little hesitantly.

"Was already planning to" he ended cheekily." See you tomorrow Sonakshi."

She stood there dumbfounded. "What just happened".
