She fought her whole life not to disappear at her desk. He risked his reputation to stand beside her in the light. Their love begins where office gossip thinks it ends.
For years, Naina Rao treated her desk as both refuge and cage. After walking out of a marriage that erased her, she rebuilt her life in a new city and a new agency, tucked quietly into a corner seat that gave her just enough visibility to survive. She knows how to impress clients, keep deadlines from falling apart, and hold an entire strategy in her head. What she does not know is how to be seen without losing herself again.
When senior strategist Arjun Sinha walks into her world, he brings a career full of big pitches, hard-won wins and a complicated personal past he does not talk about. To him, Naina is not the "quiet analyst" everyone is used to; she is the person who sees what others miss. Working together on a high-stakes corporate transformation for Northbridge, they build maps, narratives and late-night war rooms that slowly turn professional respect into something more dangerous and far more tender.
But offices are made of glass as much as concrete, and glass carries stories. As whispers about their relationship spread through corridors and boardrooms, Naina must decide whether she is willing to step into the full light of her life-with her work and her heart visible at the same time. Arjun, haunted by the mistakes of a previous marriage, is forced to choose whether he will use his seniority to overshadow her or to step sideways so she can stand where she has always belonged.
Desk One Love is a slow-burn, deeply human office romance about two people who dare to build love inside a world that is always watching. It's a story about rumors and HR meetings, about campaigns and coffee, about parents and promotions, and about one woman who finally refuses to shrink so someone else can shine.
