Chapter 40 - teasers
"Pantene.."
"Sunsilk..."
"Nah, perhaps an imported brand." Intrigued by the discussion, Jodha stopped by the group of girls gossiping at coffee machine. "What is it about?" she winked cheesy.
"Shampoo," first girl mumbled. "Which brand do you think it is that makes his hair silkier than a woman's? Look at me. I'm striving so hard to retain these four strands and look at his... how lush and dark it's getting."
"I guess his shampoo is Sunsilk as it has silk in it," the other jested.
"And I'm guessing it should be some imported brand, after all he's The US returned MD", the first one added.
"Pch, pch, very valid doubt ..." the amused girl slyly agreed. What'd be these girls reaction if I say - you can only see and admire, but I can touch and play with his silky locks? Waise.. what brand was it? She tried identifying the known fragrance but gave up. Why wasting energy when I can know it for myself?
"Hey Jo... leaving early today?" another girl plunged in.
"Yeah.. not much work, so thought of going home than unnecessarily lingering around."
"Me too, but boss came and smashed the plan," the third one patted her head.
"As if he's going to question you or stop you from leaving," the second one scoffed.
"Not he yaar, marketing-wali," the third one whined. "I asked her to drop me home and we're supposed to start ten minutes back. But boss came and... you know..." she rolled eyes in exasperation. "Now I've to wait till he leaves."
"Hey I discovered a new formula..." the first one exuberantly whispered. "Ms. AMM's dupatta placement is inversely proportional to boss's buttons," staring at the farther end, the marketing section, she quipped. "The deeper his shirt is open, the upper her dupatta goes."
"What?!!" the three listeners scrunched their faces and peeked at the direction the first one saw.

"My shampoo?!" His face scrunched. "Seriously?"
"Mm.." pressing lips, she asserted with a nod.
"Jobless girls. Anyways what did you answer?"
"What'd I answer when I don't know it?" Her eyes shone with mirth, "...and even if do, what exactly should I say? That I live with him and I know his shampoo brand because I barged into his bathroom and checked?!"
"You could very well do that," he solemnly agreed, bringing the vehicle to halt at a traffic signal. "But please care to knock before barging in to my bathroom as I seldom forget to latch the door. Not that I've a problem... but you might not be quite comfortable with what you se..."
The listener's eyes widened at his gall and before he could complete her fingers whooshed towards his waist.
