Chapter 16 Messages
Eden stood from his chair, walked near her and asked, “What’s wrong, Lavanya?”
She didn’t say anything and looked at him with a piercing gaze.
“Tell me, Lavanya.”
She stood up and shouted, “You say you love me but here you have another girl in your cabin, standing very close to you.”
The girl standing there looked at both of them in surprise when she heard this. He understood everything and smiled. He wrapped his arm around Lavanya’s waist, pulling her close. He seductively whispered in her ears, “My baby is getting jealous.”
She tried to remove his hand from her waist. “Yes, I am jealous.” She said quickly without thinking.
“Don’t you trust me, baby. She is my secretary, Hanna.” He removed his hand from her waist. She looked at Hanna, then looked back at him and said, “You will have a male assistant from now on and you will stay away from other girls.”
“You’re kidding right.” She raised her eyebrow. “Come on, Lavanya. You know that I love you only.”
“I know that, but I am not kidding after I clearly saw her, standing really close to you. You will have a male assistant.” She announced, and he frowned.
“Fine, I agree with you.” He said, and Lavanya smiled proudly.
Hanna was surprised to see that someone was giving orders to her boss, and he wasn’t yelling at that person. Eden signaled Hanna to leave and she left.
Hanna went out of the cabin, and all the female colleagues gathered around her. One of them asks her. “Hanna, I saw a girl going inside the boss’s cabin. Who is she?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I think she is his girlfriend.” Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as Hanna replied. Hanna left from there. Another girl said, looking towards Eden’s cabin, “That girl is really very lucky.”
Inside his cabin, Lavanya sat on the couch with Eden beside her. He held her hand. “Why did you come here?”
“You told me in the morning that you wish to spend your entire day with me. I came here to spend the rest of the day with you.” She said and He smiled.
“Just give me a minute.” He moved near his desk to look for something.
Lavanya was observing his office when her gaze fell on the amazing view of the buildings outside, through the huge glass window. She walked near it, tried to look down but quickly took a step back.
Eden noticed this, moved closer to her, and held her in his arms from behind.
“Wha.. What are y.. you doing?”
“Try to look down.” He said and she tried to look down again but closed her eyes.
“I can’t do this.” She removed his arms from her waist.
“How did you travel by airplane if you had this fear?” He asked, looking down through the window.
“I was excited to come here. I didn’t realize it at that time in excitement.” She said innocently.
“You’ve to overcome this fear. Life will be hard to live with this fear.” He held her hand, and she looked at him, confused by his words that he just said. They walked out of the cabin. As they stepped out, all the female colleagues looked at both of them leaving together, holding each other’s hand and felt envious of Lavanya.
Eden went to the car parking with her, opened the door of his blue coloured Audi Q8 for Lavanya to sit but she was looking at the car carefully. He closed the door, walked to her and asked, “Why are you looking at my car like this?”
“How many cars do you own?” Eden chuckled at her question and replied, “Many cars.”
“Being rich is good.” She said in a low voice, but he heard it. He again opened the door for her, and she sat on the passenger seat. They drove out of the car parking lot, and he asked her, “Where do you want to go?”
“Can we go and get some ice cream? I haven’t had ice cream for so long.” He smiled. He stopped the car in front of an ice cream shop.
“Which flavor do you want?” He asked her, unbuckling his seat belt.
“Chocolate with lots of choco chips.”
“Okay, wait for me here.” He stepped out of the car and went inside the ice cream shop. Few minutes later, She saw him coming out of the shop, holding two cups of ice cream in his hands. He sat inside the car, gave the cup of chocolate ice cream to her, and they both started enjoying it.
She looked at his cup. “Which flavor you’re having?”
He was about to answer when his phone started ringing. He slid it out of his pocket, looked at the caller ID and answered it.
“What is it?”
“Sir, I signed the deal with Shah corporation on your behalf.” His manager, Robert informed him and he looked at Lavanya, who was giving full attention to the ice-cream in her hands.
“Okay, good.” He ended the call and slid the phone inside his pocket.
“Sorry, I had to answer it.” He said, and She shifted her attention to him.”It was important. I Understand. So, which flavor is this?”
He smiled and said, “It’s Taro flavor.”
“I never heard of this flavor.”
“You want to taste it.” He asked, putting the spoon full of ice cream in his mouth, and she nodded.
He lifted the spoon full of ice cream to her mouth and put it in her mouth. “It’s so delicious.”
“Yes, it is.”

Five months passed quickly with Eden staying busy with his work and Lavanya with her studies, but in these Four months, Eden and Lavanya got to know each other better. She started enjoying his company even more that her time hardly passed when he was not with her, and also started trusting him more.
They both were having breakfast, when Eden’s phone beeped with the message notifications. He unlocked his phone, looked at the message notifications. He opened the messages and a huge smile spread on his lips.
Lavanya looked at his smiling face and thought, “These messages must have been sent by some girl. Why would he smile like this if these are work related messages?”
