Chapter 39 What’s Wrong With Boss
He sat beside her. “What happened at the mall?”
“I felt someone was following me, but I didn’t see anyone.” She informed him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He widened his eyes and asked, “Did you inform Ray about this?”
“No, I thought I should inform you first. Maybe it’s my hallucination.” She looked at the ground.
He held her hand and kissed it. “Don’t worry. I will discuss this with Ray, and if needed, I will increase your security.”
At night, Eden was discussing everything that Lavanya informed him about with Ray.
“I didn’t see anyone or felt someone’s presence, but will be more attentive around her from now on.” Ray said.
“Good.” Eden cut the call and laid down on his bed.

“Sir, I followed her all day at the mall today as you ordered me to do, and I think the man who always accompanies her is her bodyguard.” A boy informed Louis.
“Eden Richards is really protecting his girlfriend well!” Louis smirked.
“Sir, I think it’s going to be hard for you to kill her with her bodyguard around her.” The boy said, and Louis yelled at him, “Shut up! Nothing is hard for me. I have promised them to kill Eden Richards’ girlfriend, and I will fulfill it.”

On Eden’s birthday, He was getting ready to go to work when Lavanya happily entered his room with a bag in her hand. “Happy Birthday!”
He smiled. “Thank you!”
“See what I have got for you.” She placed the bag on the table. He quickly recognized that bag and smiled as it was the same bag about which she lied to him that day in his office.
She takes out the shirt which she brought for him from the bag and gives it to him. “I brought this for you. Hope you like it.”
“It’s nice. I love it, and it’s really special for me because this is the first time you have brought something for me, but when did you buy it?” He asked while opening the packing of the shirt.
“That day when I went shopping with Jaime.” She answered honestly.
He chuckled. “So, why did you lie to me when I asked you about it?”
“I wanted to gift this to you.” She pouted. He already knew what she had brought that day but hid it from her for her happiness.
“I love it. It’s a really nice color. Thank you.” He kissed her forehead.
“It’s nice, right? You should wear this today.” She took the shirt from him and started opening its buttons.
“Lavanya, I am already dressed up. I will wear it some other day.” He was hesitant to wear it.
She made an innocent face and requested. “Please, wear it for me.”
He took a deep breath. “Okay, Give it to me.”
She gave the shirt to him and sat down on the couch. He removed his blazer and started opening the buttons of the shirt he was wearing. With each button he was opening, his chest was slowly coming into her view. She was looking at his half-naked body, and her eyes landed on his six-pack abs when he finished opening the last button of his shirt. He took off the shirt, and she looked at his muscular and perfectly shaped body. She felt a little shy, and her cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she was continuously staring at his body without even blinking her eyes for once.
He noticed this and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
“You’re looking like a model on the cover page of Vogue magazine.” He chuckled at her comment and said, “Thanks for the compliment.”
He wore the shirt and then the dark blue blazer which he was wearing earlier. She looked at him from head to toe. “This blue blazer does not look good on this shirt. You’re not looking good in this look.”
She stood from the couch, went inside his walk-in closet, and after carefully looking through his clothes, came out holding a white blazer. She gave it to him. “Wear this.”
He wore the white blazer and looked in the mirror. She stood in front of him. She adjusted his blazer from the neck and said, “You’re looking very handsome.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist. “Don’t you realize that you’re behaving like my wife?”
She tried to remove his hand, but he tightened his hold, pulling her closer to him and her breast collided against his chest. “There’s nothing like that.”
“Really! Then taking care of what I am wearing and if it’s looking good on me or not, choosing clothes for me which will look good on me and also, adjusting my clothes to make me look perfect. Aren’t these all the works that a wife does?” He asked, looking at her with love.
“You…You’re getting l…late for your work.” She tried to get out of his hold. He removed his hand, kissed her forehead and left.
He arrived at the company, and everyone was surprised to see his look today because he always liked to wear light shade shirts at work, but today, it was for the first time he was wearing a dark shade shirt at work.
He went inside his cabin, and all his female staff started gossiping about his look today.
“What’s wrong with the boss today? He is wearing sea-green color at work.” One of the female colleagues said.
“Leave this. He is looking so handsome today.”

Lavanya went to Aunt Bella. “Aunt Bella, I have a request for you.”
Bella smiled and asked, “Tell me, what can I do for you?”
“Today is Eden’s birthday. I am planning to give him a surprise. Please go and buy a chocolate cake for him.” She requested, and Bella’s smile disappeared after hearing her request. She noticed her expression and asked, “What happened, Aunt Bella?”
“No…Nothing, I will buy it.”
“Thank you.” She happily went from there, and Bella said inside her mind watching her, “Oh Lavanya! I hope you’re well aware of the thing you’re trying to do.”

Edward came to meet Eden in the evening. “What’s up, birthday boy?”
“Having lots of fun.” Eden showed him the stack of files placed in front of him.
Edward laughed loudly while sitting in front of him. “Are you having a fever?”
Eden furrowed his eyebrows. “What?”
“You’re wearing a dark color shirt at the office?”
Eden looked at his shirt and said, “Lavanya gifted this to me and made me wear it today.”
“She can really make impossible things possible. Her choice is also really nice, but wait, shouldn’t you be with her celebrating your birthday?” Edward questioned him.
Eden looked at him and replied, “You know I don’t celebrate my birthday.”
