Chapter 38 Male Assistant
Lavanya was thinking about the person she feels is trying to follow her. “Is someone really following me? Even if it’s not true, I should inform Eden about this.”
Jaime looked at her. “We should go to meet brother.”
“Your brother doesn’t like to get disturbed at work!” Lavanya said, looking out of the window.
“Oh! But it was my cold-hearted brother who set these rules. Now, he is changed. He started smiling more, and he doesn’t even get angry easily, and the most important thing, he will never get disturbed by you.” Jaime held her hand and requested, “Please.”
Lavanya laughed. She looked at Ray and said, “Take us to Eden.”
They reached Richards Corporation and entered the lift to reach Eden’s cabin. Eden was busy reading a file when Lavanya and Jaime barged inside his cabin without knocking on the door, with Ray following them.
Eden was surprised to see them there. “You both were going shopping. What are you doing here?”
“Lavanya was missing you so much that’s why we came here, otherwise, I was planning to have dinner with her.” Jaime said while sitting on the couch, and Lavanya looked at her with wide eyes.
“Really?” Eden asked, with shine in his eyes.
“Of course, Brother! You can ask her.” Jaime smiled.
Lavanya bit her lower lip in nervousness while Jaime was trying to suppress her laughter.
“I don’t need to ask her. I know she can’t live without me for even a minute, and she eagerly waits for me to come home from work every day.” Eden said with his eyes full of love for Lavanya.
“Sometimes, I still can’t believe that you’re that same Eden who used to yell at everyone without any reason.” Jaime pouted.
“Every person in their life needs someone who can fulfill their life with colors of love and happiness. I used to yell at everyone to vent out the frustration of my heart because I wanted the feeling of love. I wished to have a person in my life who understands me, and loves me a lot, and can change me with her love, and she is in my life now.” He smiled, looking at Lavanya who had tears in her eyes.
“Brother, you made my sister-in-law cry.” Jaime wiped her tears.
Eden stood from his chair and sat beside Lavanya. “She is the most important part of my life. My life is incomplete without her.” He said, holding her hand.
“I think I should leave the lovebirds alone now.” Jaime stood from the couch.
“Ray will drop you!” Lavanya said, looking at Ray, who was a little surprised after hearing Lavanya as he clearly understood what she was trying to do.
“No, it’s fine. I will go by myself. I can drive my car.”
“I know you can go by yourself, but still, you should take him with you. It’s going to get dark soon.” Lavanya insisted.
“I think she is right. It’s going to take you almost two hours to reach home, and it will get dark by that time. It’s not safe for you to go alone.” Eden said and turned to Ray. “Go with her and drop her at home safely.”
“Okay, Sir.” Ray didn’t want to go, but he couldn’t say no to Eden so he left with Jaime.
Eden eyes fell on the shopping bag, which was placed near Lavanya. “What did you buy?”
She looked at the bag and said, “I can’t tell you about this. It’s a girly thing.” She lied to him.
“I understand.”
She was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Eden said, and a young man walked inside with lots of files in his hand.
“Sir, These are the files you asked for.” He placed the stack of files on the desk.
Eden stood from the sofa, moved to his desk and gave some papers to him. “Get the printouts of these papers and arrange my meeting over a lunch with Mr. Leo Kyle.”
Lavanya felt something strange because the work Eden was asking this man to do was all his secretary Hanna’s work.
“Okay Sir.” He left, and Lavanya asked Eden, “Who was he?”

Jaime was sitting on the backseat of her car doing something on her phone and Ray was driving the car. He stopped the car on the signal. He looked back at Jaime because he wanted to apologize to her for his behavior at the mall, but didn’t know how to say it. He was feeling nervous while thinking about how to start this conversation with her and was trying to imagine how it will turn out in his head.
She lifted her eyes from the phone to look at the road, but her eyes met with his nervousness filled eyes. “Do you want to say something to me?” She asked as if she had read his eyes.
“Yes, Miss Jaime.” He didn’t hide it.
“Say it then.”
“I wanted to apologize to you for complimenting you at the mall. I really didn’t meant it. It was just my…” Before he could complete his sentence, She started laughing. He was confused because he thought that she would get angry with him but here, she was laughing.
She controlled her laughter and said, “It’s alright. You said nothing wrong. I am gorgeous, but tell me one thing, why were you nervous just now?”
“I…I didn’t know how to start a conversation with you about this. I was a little scared too.” He said and she again started laughing. “I am not like your boss, in front whom you have to think a lot before speaking. I am Jaime. You can tell me anything. I will never get angry.”
“Thank you, Miss Jaime.”
The signal turned green, and he started driving happily.

“He is my assistant.” Eden replied.
“Okay, but why were you telling him all the work of Hanna?” Lavanya asked curiously.
“You were the one who told me to have a male assistant ” She widened her eyes at his reply. “Where is Hanna?”
He smiled. “Don’t worry, I haven’t fired her. I have promoted her and have placed her in the best department of this company.”
She sighed and remembered about the thing she wanted to inform him about. “I want to inform you about something that happened at the mall today.” She said and he furrowed his eyebrows.
