After meeting with Navya, she made her way back to the office. Her new cabin, located next to Shredyansh's cabin, was a constant reminder of the changing dynamics within the company. This was the second time the legal department had shifted locations.

Just as she approached the entrance to her cabin, Arin emerged from within, his eyes locking onto hers with a hint of confusion. "Ma'am, haven't you gone yet?"

Aadya's eyes narrowed slightly as she regarded Arin, her expression a mask of puzzlement. "Gone?" she repeated, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity. "Where?" she asked, her tone gentle, yet probing.

Arin's expression turned sheepish as he realized the miscommunication. "I didn't see you in your cabin, so I thought you also went with the boss," he explained.

Aadya's eyes widened, her interest piqued. "Shredyansh has gone?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of surprise. "Where?"

Arin's response was straightforward. "Home!"

Aadya's whisper was barely audible. "Home...." She paused, her eyes locked onto Arin's. "When?" she asked, her voice low and even.

Arin's reply was matter-of-fact. "About an hour ago."

Aadya's mind began to wander, her thoughts consumed by the sudden change in Shredyansh's behavior. Over the past two to three days, he had been acting strangely, and today's abrupt departure only added to her confusion.

She racked her brain, trying to recall if she had said anything to offend him during their conversation. "What's going on with him?" she wondered. "I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

Aadya's reverie was interrupted by Arin's gentle query, "Ma'am?" She snapped back to reality, her eyes focusing on Arin's expectant face.

"Yes...?" she replied hastily, still shaking off the remnants of her daydream.

Arin gestured toward the cabin. "I've left some files on your desk. Could you please sign them?" Aadya nodded, and with a brief smile, Arin took his leave.

As soon as Arin departed, Aadya steeled herself and stepped into her cabin. Her eyes landed on the three files neatly arranged on her desk. With swift efficiency, she retrieved a pen from the holder and signed each file in turn. Task complete, Aadya gathered her belongings and files, and then made her way out of the cabin. Her next stop was Nia's glass-walled office, conveniently located in front of her own.

Nia looked up from her computer as Aadya approached. "Here are the signed files, Nia," Aadya said, handing them over. "Could you double-check them? I'm heading home now and if you want you can also go."

Nia's eyes sparkled with concern as she asked, "Home? Are you alright?"

Aadya reassured her with a gentle nod and a brief explanation. "Just some work," she said with a warm smile.
