Billionaire’s Love From India

Lavanya narrowed her eyes. “Hey! Stop threatening my Brother.”

Eden chuckled. “I was just having fun with him.” He placed his hand on Ray’s shoulder. “I know you think that I will always treat you as a bodyguard, but it’s not like that anymore. Don’t forget that Lavanya has accepted you as her brother, which means we also have a relationship now.”

He hugged Ray. Lavanya smiled, looking at them as they broke the hug. She held Eden’s arm and turned to Ray. “You’re supposed to give a gift to me as a ritual.”

Ray quickly asked, “Tell me, What do you want?”

“I will tell you when I need something from you. Promise me you’ll give that gift to me no matter what I ask for.” She stretched out her hand in his direction, and Ray placed his hand upon her hand. “I promise.”

Lavanya was getting ready in her room to go downstairs to have breakfast. She was adjusting her dress standing in front of the mirror when someone hugged her from behind. She looked up at the mirror only to find Eden standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist.

“Is there anything special?” She asked, smiling.

He held her from the shoulders to make her face him. “I was thinking about taking you to the office with me.”

Her smile disappeared when she heard this, and tears welled up in her eyes. He got worried seeing her like this. “What happened, Baby? Are you alright?”

“I…I am f…fine.” She took a deep breath. “Daksh Bhaiya(Brother) wanted me to join the office with him after graduation. He wanted to help me in gaining my experience in the business. I am missing him. I don’t think I can do this without him.”

He sat on the couch with her. “I can understand what you’re feeling.”

She looked at him with questioning eyes. “What are you trying to say?”

He held her hand. “When I was a child, I always got excited whenever I saw my dad wearing a business suit, and I used to tell him that one day, I wish to be like him.” He smiled a little. “At that time, my dad told me that he would help me to learn business, and he wishes seeing me sitting on his chair, taking over his position, but when I was ready to learn and taking over his business, he was no more by my side. Still, I did it. I joined the office and learned to manage it on my own.”

He cupped her face. “Lavanya, People come and go in our life, but this doesn’t mean that we should stop our life. I wouldn’t have been the boss of the Richards Corporation if I had waited for someone to come and teach me. Life always goes on, with or without people.”

A tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped it with his thumb and said, “I know your brother is not here with you in an important part of your life, but you’ve your life partner.”

She smiled, wiping her tears. He pulled her into an embrace. “Your brother would be very proud of you when he knows what you’ve achieved without him.”

She kissed his cheek and snuggled more into his embrace. He looked out at the blue sky through the balcony of her room and said, “I hope you both are proud of me, mom and dad.”

He kissed her forehead. “Are you ready to come with me to the office now, or do you want to pick you up in my arms and take you there?”

She pouted. “I want to come with you, but I really liked the option of you picking me up in your arms and taking me there.”

He didn’t say anything else, lifted her up in bridal position, and went out of the room. She got stunned by his sudden action. “Eden, I was kidding. Someone can see us like this.”

He raised his eyebrows. “So, we love each other. I don’t care about someone watching us like this.”

He helped her to sit inside the car and sat beside her. He was looking really happy as if he had achieved something big in his life. Lavanya wanted to laugh. “Are you really excited to take me to the office with you?”

“Yes, because I want everyone in the company to know that I am taken.” He quickly replied. She laughed loudly after hearing this.

They reached Richards Corporation. Eden held Lavanya’s hand and walked inside the building. They went into the lift. She told him to leave her hand but he tightened his hold on her hand because he knew she was afraid of heights.

All eyes were set on them as they walked towards Eden’s cabin. Eden entered the cabin with her. Lavanya was about to sit on the couch but Eden made her sit on his chair. Lavanya looked at him with wide eyes, and tried to stand up but he stopped her, placing his hands on either side of the chair. “I told you. The boss of Richards Corporation can make you sit on his chair without taking any interview.”

“Let me get up. This is your chair.” She stood up as he moved aside. She sat on the couch. Eden gave her some files. “These files are of the deals I am soon going to sign with other companies. Please read them carefully, and you can mark the mistakes if you find any. I will sign the papers in these files after that.”

“Okay, I will do it.” She started reading the file while Eden busied himself with his work. She was only done reading two files when Eden came near her to ask her for lunch.

“I didn’t realize that I have been reading the files for so long that it’s almost lunchtime.” She closed the file and put it on the table.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s your first day. Don’t indulge yourself too much in work.” He held her hand to take her out for lunch. They came to his restaurant. Lavanya started looking at the menu and smiled when she saw vegetarian dishes on it.

“Did you add vegetarian dishes to this menu for me?” She asked Eden, who was busy in typing something on his phone.

He looked at her. “Yeah! What’s the point of having own restaurant when the owner of this restaurant can’t enjoy her favorite dishes.”

“You’re so sweet.” She smiled and looked at the menu, but suddenly again looked at him as she realized something. “Eden.”

“Yes.”

“Yo…you said the owner of this restaurant. Don’t tell me that you…” He understood what she wanted to say, so he said, “You’re thinking right. This restaurant is yours now. You’re the new owner of this restaurant.”

She was surprised with this news and was looking at him in disbelief. He snapped his fingers in front of her. “Order something, Lavanya. I am starving.”

She placed the order. Their food arrived soon. They quickly ate their lunch and left for the office.

Lavanya again indulged herself in reading the files. She took another file and opened it to read, but got surprised when she saw Shah Corporation’s name on it. She started reading it, and found Daksh’s signature on it. “So, this is the reason why I was sent here by my grandfather, and Daksh Bhai (Brother) already knows everything about what grandfather did with me if he had signed this contract, but then why he pretended that he didn’t know about it when I called him. Is he also really involved in it? What’s the truth of this contract?”
