Chapter 15 Jealous Lavanya
Eden went to Lavanya’s room. She was sitting on the bed, reading a book. He stood beside her and asked, “Why are you not going to college?”
“I am not going.” She looked up at him from the book, “Because I don’t want to go.”
Eden sat on the bed, held her face in his hands. “You shouldn’t be afraid of anyone. I am here for you, always.” This reminded her of Daksh, as he had also told her the same thing when she was coming to London.
Tears filled her eyes as she remembered him. She asked, “What if he tries to molest me again?”
“Lavanya, I promise to you, nothing like that will happen. You shouldn’t be afraid of anyone. Trust me, I have clearly instructed Ray about this. Go, get ready. I will drop you.” He kissed her forehead.
“You and Daksh Bhaiya (Brother), both are the same and equally protective when it comes to me.” She smiled and got up to get ready.
They had their breakfast and left. Lavanya was looking afraid and tense. Eden moved closer to her, held her hand, and said, “I wish to spend my entire day with you but it’s important for you to go to college.”
“I understand.” She said, looking outside.
He dropped her at college with Ray and left for his work.

Daksh got the partnership with Eden’s company, Richards Corporation, which will help Daksh in successfully launching the products he has been working on in the international market, as Eden’s manager signed the deal on his behalf.
He was sitting in the living room with Jai, Aakash, and Sakshi. He was missing Lavanya because if she should’ve been here, she must’ve been celebrating his achievement with him, asking him for a huge celebration and party.
Jai looked at him proudly. He was more relaxed because Eden fulfilled his promise to help Daksh in business, and Daksh didn’t get to know how he got this deal. He smiled and said, “My grandson is doing well in business and reaching new heights. Now, we should start looking for good proposals for his marriage.”
Daksh was smiling a little but it quickly faded when he heard Jai talking about his marriage and felt sad and anger inside his heart. He remembered his conversation on this topic with Lavanya.

“My dreams are coming true. I have successfully joined dad in his business and two years, I will be successful in it. After that one more dream will be left to fulfill.” He said, looking at Lavanya, who was sitting on the bed in his room.
“Which dream is it?” She asked.
“It is to find the most beautiful girl in this world and marry her.” He told her about his dream.
“I will find your bride. I hope you trust my choices. I will find the most beautiful girl in this world for my most handsome brother.” Lavanya said excitedly.

Daksh smiled remembering this and said, “Lavanya wanted to choose a beautiful Bhabhi (Sister-in-law) for her with me and to see me getting married. I will not get married without her. I will wait for her to come.”
Aakash and Sakshi looked at him sadly, whereas Jai was feeling angry as they all saw tears filling Daksh’s eyes, and he left the living room without saying anything.

Lavanya’s classes ended early today. She was sitting in the backseat of the car, reading a novel.
“She wanted to surprise him at work and to spend time with him. She went to his office to surprise him.” She read this and suddenly remembered Eden’s words which he had said to her in the morning,”I wish to spend my entire day with you.”
She smiled thinking about it, looked at Ray, and asked, “Can we go to Eden’s office, please?”
Ray looked back at her. “Why do you want to go there?”
“To meet Eden.”
“Sir doesn’t like to get disturbed at work. He will get angry and scold me.” He replied and looked ahead.
“I promise he will not get angry. Please, take me there.” Lavanya requested. Ray sighed, asking the driver to take the car to Eden’s office. She smiled and thoughts, “Please word really works. From now on, I will use it to make everyone agree on my wishes, whenever I want someone to do something for me.”
The car stopped in front of Richards Corporation. Lavanya went inside, walked to the reception, and asked the receptionist about Eden.
“Do you have an appointment to meet him?” The Receptionist asked, and Lavanya shook her head.
“Sorry, you can’t meet Sir wi…”
Before the receptionist could finish saying, Ray appeared there and said, “Let her go. She doesn’t need any kind of appointment to meet him. She can meet him anytime.”
He turned to Lavanya. “His cabin is on the twenty-third floor. You may go from there.” He pointed towards the lift. Lavanya was nervous and a little bit afraid to go to the twenty-third floor because of her fear of heights.
Lavanya reached in front of Eden’s cabin and saw a girl standing very close to him through the glass door. They both were looking at something on the laptop screen. She didn’t understand why but she started feeling so jealous of that girl. She forgot about her fear of heights, and she wanted to push that girl away from him as she noticed their hands getting touched with each other’s accidentally. She was feeling her anger towards Eden, and soon her jealousy, and anger was visible on her face.
Eden looked up from the laptop screen and saw Lavanya through the glass door, standing outside his cabin. He smiled as his dark black eyes met her anger and jealousy filled, honey brown eyes as she glared at him and the girl standing beside him in anger.
She opened the door, went inside, sat on the couch without saying anything to him or looking at him. Eden got confused by her behavior.
