It had been a long day at work. Sidharth could not think of anything more than the office party to end this dreadful day. It is not like he enjoyed them but having some company and free beer was not entirely bad. His team had already left and taken their places at the large 12 seater table in the nearby bar.
He arrived late and found the corner seat vacant for him. It was next to Shikha, the intern who he had exchanged a casual few smiles with. She wore the usual salwar kameez or formal shirt and pants in office but today she had dressed up and her skirt, although not too short, had ridden up to her knees as she sat. She noticed him and her eyes lit up. From the empty glasses in front of her it looked like she was already quite drunk.
He had a reputation in the office of being a master seducer. His prowess in bed was discussed in the girls bathrooms in hushed voices. A few women including that cute one in the HR, the thick one in Admin and that tall one in Finance had experienced his skills. He had also received some offers from a few guys to engage in some cuckolding scenarios with their wives.
But he was not in the mood today. All he wanted was to get drunk out of his mind and go to bed.
The discussions were always about their clients or the big man at the company. The bitching and cribbing reached its peak midway when every person was sufficiently drunk and a few risked falling and getting unconscious. No one wanted that responsibility and such cases were immediately put in a cab and sent home. The girls were the first ones to leave. Very few had the courage to witness their colleagues at their drunken worst.
Shikha had started singing and dancing to the music. Sid found this opening up very surprising. He thought that the folks who really enjoy these office parties do not have many friends in life. He wondered how could she be someone like that. With her looks and figure she should be surrounded by people.
She looked charming and tried her best to engage him in a dance but he refused. He maintained a stoic pose at these parties and only attended it for the entertainment, not to become one.
Her manager did not like her drooling all over him and thought it best to send her home. He insisted and after some convincing, she agreed to leave. She bid everyone good bye and got up from the chair. Her skirt had now come up to her thighs and revealed more than they were meant for. She felt the eyes all turn towards her and she quickly straightened it.
