Ayaan's company was expanding rapidly, and he needed more people to join his team. That's when Eshaal arrived as an intern. She was Alia's best friend, and Ayaan had heard a lot about her from her. He was excited to meet her and see what she had to offer.

As Eshaal walked into his office, Ayaan stood up to greet her. "Welcome, Eshaal. I'm glad to have you on board," he said, extending his hand. Eshaal looked at him coldly and refused to shake his hand. "I'm only here because Alia asked me to be. I don't need your welcome," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Ayaan was taken aback by her attitude. He had never met anyone who was so rude and disrespectful. He decided to ignore her behavior and focus on her work instead.

Days turned into weeks, and Eshaal continued to make Ayaan's life difficult. She was always late, didn't complete her work on time, and was constantly arguing with him. Ayaan tried his best to be patient, but he was growing tired of her behavior.

One day, he called her into his office and sat her down. "Eshaal, I don't know what your problem is, but you need to start acting like a professional. You're not here to make my life difficult. You're here to learn and grow. If you can't do that, then maybe you should leave," he said, his voice stern.

Eshaal looked at him defiantly. "I don't have to take orders from you. I'm only here because of Alia, and I'll leave when I want to," she said, getting up to leave. Ayaan sighed, feeling frustrated with her behavior. He knew that he had to find a way to deal with her, or else she would continue to make his life difficult.

Little did he know, Eshaal had her own reasons for being so hostile towards him. Her past was filled with pain and hurt, and she was afraid to let anyone get close to her.
