Wrapping his work Manik stood up and taking his blazer and phone in his hand turning the lights off walks out of his cabin. He stops walking when noticed lights still on from Neil's cabin.
He thought why was Neil still working when Neil himself said he will be finishing early and will be taking Avni out for dinner today. He frowns and his way towards Neil's cabin.
He opens the door and saw Neil engrossed on his laptop typing away. He clears his throat gaining Neil's attention who stops typing and looks at him.
Neil : Bhai, you haven't left? I thought you might be gone to pick Bhabhi up? Busy today.
Manik : I was just leaving then saw you in office. How come you are still in office? Aren't you supposed to take Avni out for dinner?
Neil : I got little busy. I had so many work left to complete before tomorrow. I know I was supposed to take Avni out for dinner but it got cancelled.
Manik: did you cancel it Neil? You shouldn't cancel your dinner with Avni. You shouldn't overwork Neil.
Neil : I didn't cancel it Bhai. Avni called up earlier and had cancel it because her mother took her out whole day for wedding shopping and she was very exhausted for dinner. I didn't wanted her to he be tired so I suggested her to cancel the plan.
