The Occasional Betrayals

A young and ambitious woman joins a top rung advertising firm as a management trainee and immediately attracts the benevolence of her senior colleague. Finding herself physically & emotionally drawn to him as well, she sets out on a journey of finding the perfect harmony in her life while cleverly manipulating it between her live-in partner and him. 

Starting with flirtatious innuendo, their relationship slowly gets built over a strong foundation of physical attraction, and survives many a test over a sustained period of time.

The unique novella, written in a combination that purely consists of a monologist narration and bilateral dialogues between the two protagonists, beautifully captures several moments of their togetherness and the resultant conflict in their respective lives. The story reaches its crescendo with both discovering their true feelings; but still finding themselves betrayed by each other in a very strange sort of way.
