No Deadline For Love - Manasi Vaidya

‘So have you always been this hot-headed?’ asked Yudi, continuing to smile. ‘Well, I could ask you the same thing,’ I retorted cheekily. ‘Touche!’ Yudi grinned. ‘I don’t deny the charge. But at least I make an effort to apologize—at least to some people.’

All her life Megha has diligently done what was expected of her: the graduation in economics, the MBA in marketing and now the straitlaced job in a high-profile FMCG company.

But lately, she’s been wondering if this unending routine of juggling late hours and unreasonable deadlines is really her life’s calling. Her mother’s desperate attempts to put her on the ‘marriage market’ are not making life any easier. And to top it all, Megha’s latest project has been bogged down by a complete dearth of creative ideas, giving her nasty boss the perfect excuse to disregard the blood, sweat and tears she’s poured into her job so far. The last thing she needs is having her suggestions trampled upon by the team’s new creative consultant, Yudi—gorgeous, sardonic and only too eager to disagree with Megha. And so the stage is set for a quirky battle of wits and some unexpected romance.
