At 5PM puja came over to pick roopa up. They both smiled at each other and left the office.
“So how was your first day” puja asked as she drove through the traffic
“You said I was a team lead? Even my resume doesn’t state that” roopa asked
“I changed your resume and relax rajesh is not that technical” puja replied
“But what if he finds out?” roopa asked concerned
“You just have to make sure he doesn’t and if he does i already told you how to keep him happy” puja said winking.
“So how was it ?” puja asked again
“It was different from my previous company's first days…. The team mates are kids but are nice overall and the other people at the office were nice to me as well.” roopa replied
“I hope this job works out” roopa added
“I am sure it will work.. ” puja replied
“I don’t know” roopa said unsure
“Just be nice to them and talk to them like they are your friends” pooja said with a hint of mischief
Roopa recalled how her new teammates had sat close to her and chatted like friends. She was uncomfortable at first but got used to it. Then she recalled how they ogled at her and blushed.
“Puja… I am not sure if this dress is a good idea …. Too much showing” roopa said unsure
“Roopa do you want to go back to your old self and get fired again” puja said now annoyed
“No no.. it's just that today… my teammates were peeking at me.. I think” roopa said blushing
“So? You also said they helped you a lot today right? Do you think they helped you out of kindness? They only have their eyes for your beauty…. What's the harm if they steal a few glances of you?”
“Anyway we already got you new sarees so just continue to wear them like I showed you for a few more weeks. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can go back to your ones“ puja added.
Roopa nodded accepting her words. Puja was right. Never before had anyone helped her or been nice to her so much at work. Maybe talking to them and dressing up like this is a small price to pay to keep the job, roopa thought to herself.
“Roopa... you did good today. I know it was hard for you, but it will pay off” puja said, assuring her as they reached roopa’s place.
“Thanks puja.. I owe you big time. Thanks for picking me up today. I will take the bus tomorrow” roopa said, getting out of the car and waving her goodbye.
