Prakash locked the computer, took the backpack and headed towards the parking exit.
When passing the marketing department, he again caught himself thinking about the new
colleague. He was reluctant to admit that he liked her captivating kind smile. "If I were little bit
taller". Prakash tried to repel the silly thoughts.
It was raining heavily outside. Suddenly, he saw Anne standing near the doors. She looked
packed for leaving. Apparently, she was waiting for the rain to stop.
After some hesitation, Prakash approached Anne.
"Hi, I am Prakash from QA team. We were introduced in the noon."
Anne smiled.
"Hi, Prakash. Yes, I remember you."
"Oh, really? On my first day here I met so many new faces. Only weeks later I remembered them
all."
Anne looked little bit confused.
"We are not that many, just forty-two."
"The rain won't stop soon. I can return with my car and take you to yours."
"Thank you very much for suggesting your help, but think it is not possible. I don't have a car
yet."
"You wait for the taxi then."
