The morning rush had already engulfed the bustling city, but he found solace in the familiar walls of his workspace. With a cup of steaming coffee in hand, he settled into his leather chair, ready to face the day.

As he glanced at his neatly organized desk, a flash of unease washed over him. The date with Serie lingered in his thoughts, a mix of anticipation and uncertainty intertwining within him. He had agreed to this arranged encounter, hoping to appease his parents and maintain harmony within the family. Yet, deep down, he couldn't deny the curiosity that gnawed at his heart .
