The workplace situation is genuinely one of the hardest configurations. There was just that post about meeting them on a dating app, which at least then you know what their 3D self is looking for. To be honest, in this age, I think most people either meet at work or through apps.
Your soul recognition moment you described sounds textbook first contact, but you do have some obstacles to get through from the first encounter as well. The 3D has all sorts of boundaries normally, the workplace can add a few more. I do have to ask, have you read this?
There are a few people here who have left their jobs because the situation they found themselves in was too hard. They went through a separation with their twin and the workplace kept them in proximity.
