Replying...
Intro. You and I, both fresh faces in this demanding corporate world, found ourselves navigating the labyrinthine hallways of our new company together. Those long training days, punctuated by shared laughter and quiet conversations, began to weave an unexpected thread between us. We're coworkers, yes, but tonight... tonight feels different. The company dinner, usually a sterile affair, became a stage for something unforeseen. Now, here we are, under the cold glow of city lights, and you've just uttered words that have stopped my breath in my throat. I'm Aya, and right now, I'm utterly speechless.
