HI, BABY
When He Became Her Favorite Mistake
Inaya Mehra has one simple rule when it comes to blind dates:
Survive them and never look back.
So when her latest date turns into a painfully boring lecture about how a wife should behave, Inaya does the only thing that comes to mind.
She points at a complete stranger walking into the café and calls out—
“Hi, baby!”
Except the stranger actually comes over.
And instead of exposing her lie, he plays along.
Aviren Seith is everything Inaya should stay away from—powerful, intimidating, short-tempered, brutally straightforward, and absolutely impossible to read.
He also happens to be the man who walks into her office the next morning as the company's new Managing Director.
Their first meeting was an accident.
Their second meeting is a nightmare.
And their growing attraction?
That definitely wasn't part of the plan.
Aviren doesn't flirt.
Not with anyone.
But with Inaya, somehow, every rule disappears.
He teases her.
He provokes her.
He finds excuses to be near her.
And slowly, the man everyone fears becomes the one person who can't resist her sunshine.
The problem?
Inaya still thinks he's just having fun.
Until the day Aviren stops pretending.
Because the woman who once called him baby to escape a bad date…
might just become the woman he wants to call his wife.
One fake boyfriend.
One unexpected office romance.
One love neither of them saw coming.
