Chapter 12


    Why is it that I can''t stop thinking about you?


    Sangavi''s Pov


    First day:


    I released a breath I didn''t even know I was holding as soon as my foot touched the entrance of this


    beautiful building but it wasn''t breathtaking as Caleb''s. There was something about that building that


    made it so weing and homey for me. Eden interlocked his fingers with mine and dragged me along


    with him. I was so shocked by this sudden gesture that I let out an involuntary gasp. On hearing this he


    turned around and winked at me, a small smile ying on his lips. I knew he was just being friendly so I


    didn''t think anything of it and allowed him to pull me.


    I looked around nervously as the people in the building stared at us in shock. Some were staring at me


    and some at our interlocked hands but Eden didn''t seem to care that we are putting on a show for


    them. I gave a small smile at everyone that I passed, not wanting to seem rude and they responded the


    same. I was confused as to why they were reacting this way. I mean had they never seen Eden with a


    girl before. I mean surely he had plenty of girlspany judging by his looks.


    "But not as many as Caleb though" my mind taunted me. I knew that was right. I mean Caleb changed


    his girl everyday like he changes his clothes, and lets not forget the fact that he only dates models and


    not ordinary people like me. For some reason that made my heart drop. I had walked in on him having


    intense make out session numerous times and sometimes some clothes were missing if you know what


    I mean. Every time that happens I feel like something has been ripped out of me. Hurt is all I feel and I


    hate it. I hate him for making me feel this way. I hate the fact that he always seemed to have some sort


    of effect on me even though he was not here and I intend on changing that.


    Maybe a week away from him will be good, it will help me calm and control whatever I was feeling for


    him. With that thought I entered Eden''s personal lift along with him.


    "So are you excited to be working with me?" Eden teased wiggling his eyebrows as he turned his body


    towards me.


    Iughed at his flirting skills as I yfully rolled my eyes.


    " Sure I am", I teased back.


    I liked this friendly banter between us, something me and Caleb never hard. He never treated me as


    anything more than a PA, but once in a while he would show his hatred for me by giving me extra work,


    regardless of the fact that I would have been extremely tired. He is an asshole. And a jerk. Whilst we


    were in the elevator, Eden exined to me the importance of this project and what I had to do. I


    nodded understanding everything and knowing what to do as well. As soon as the elevator sprang


    open, Eden showed me the way and presented me with my temporary room. It was medium in size, a


    little smaller then the one Caleb gave me, but still it looked very pretty andfortable. It was


    connected to Eden meaning that it will be easier for me to enter his office . Eden''s phone started


    ringing so he left me to settle whilst he dealt with the phone call. I started to work straight away as I


    didn''t have to unpack seeing I didn''t bring anything with me.


    Soon it was 12:30 pm and Eden sauntered into my office, with a smile on his face.


    "Hungry yet workaholic?", he teased smiling.


    Iughed shaking my head at his silly nickname.


    "I will take my lunch break as soon as I finished this", I responded typing furiously on myptop. I was


    so engrossed in the work that I didn''t even realize he was standing a mere foot from me. Only when he


    closed myptop did I realize how close he was.


    "No your not, your going to have lunch with me now, then you can get back to your work darling." he


    stated, hovering over my table.


    "But I have to finish this. You go eat then I wille. Please Eden," I begged him but he justughed.


    "Nope, you''re going to have lunch with me now and that''s final", he spoke firmly but his eye twinkled


    brightly telling me he wasn''t being serious.


    Sighing in defeat I nodded my head and stood up. " Fine!" I grumbled sticking my tongue out at him


    yfully, something I could never do to Caleb without getting fired. Eden burst outughing at that and


    pulled at my arm, dragging a stumbling me behind him.


    I wonder what Caleb is doing now. Who is he having lunch with? Is it a girl? At that thought a bitter


    feeling settled in the pit of my stomach but I chose to ignore it and concentrate of my lunch with Eden.


    Second day:


    Yesterday was actually quite fun. I was enjoying myself with Eden during lunch, Iughed at his jokes


    and he to mine. In fact I was really enjoying hispany but part of me, the part which I don''t like and


    has nomon sense was missing Caleb so much but I chose to stamp down on that part. After lunch


    I went back to my work and Eden to his. He allowed me to go home early since it was my first day and


    even dropped me off. Something that he said he will do everyday. It was also something Caleb never


    did. I was here early in the morning responding to one of the emails when I got a phone call. I picked


    up not bothering to check the caller ID seeing I was very busy. "Hello" I asked.


    "Who is this?", I asked again and furrowed my eyebrows when no one responded.


    " So busy that you can''t even check the caller ID before picking up huh?" the voice mocked me


    chuckling and immediately I shivered hearing that muscr husky voice.


    I quickly looked down at the Caller ID to confirm my suspicion and I was right. It was none other than


    my jerk of a boss. CALEB. A small gasp left my mouth as I realized he was still on the line whilst I was


    trying to get over the shock of him calling me. I wonder why he did. cing the phone back in my ear I


    hurriedly spoke, "uh so sorry ! I was so involved in my work that I couldn''t eve-", he cut me off before I


    could finish my rambling.


    "Rx! Its okay." he cajoled. His smooth voice sending shivers all over my body.


    " uh so is there anything I could help you with sir?", I asked, wanting to know what the reason was.


    When he said yes, I couldn''t believe my ears. I mean he must have appointed a temporary PA whilst I


    was here so why does he need my help. Confused, I asked him what he needed.


    "Where is my coffee?", he shouted from the other line.


    "Coffee? but how can I give you your coffee when i''m here sir?", I asked confused.


    "uh I said that to Bailey",he said in a dismissive tone.


    "Bailey?", I asked, curious as to who she is.


    "My new PA", he rified my confusion. "Her name is Bailey. She is really good in her work you know.


    She took care of everything in just one day. I never thought she could ever do that and work that


    efficiently. She even broke your record of being efficient to her work in just one day.....", I listened as he


    rambled on about how good his new PA was. Anger was bubbling up inside of me. How could he even


    sudden. Why couldn''t he appraise me like this. Not wanting to hear anymore I cut in. " That''s nice!


    Finally you found a PA with whom you can workfortably. So? What is it that Bailey can''t help you


    and you are asking me for?" I asked with a neutral tone trying to hide my jealousy that was on the


    surface.


    As soon as he asked me," Where was Mr Novak''s file?", my forehead creased in confusion.


    "Mr Novak''s file? It is right on your desk. I left it there thest time," I said in a hurry.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "I called you because I am not getting the file?", he started, telling me how careless I was. I was getting


    more and more anxious and tried telling him that I put it there and that I was sure. I knew how important


    this file was and that is why I was stressing. He told me to rx as he had a copy but I couldn''t so I


    asked him to text me if he finds it. The call ended but I was still shaking. Where did I put that god damn


    file? I was sure I put it on the table.


    10 minutes passed and I was still stressing over that file when a beep from my phone caught my


    attention. It was from Caleb, telling me he had found the file. I let out a loud relieved breath and


    thanked God. Although I was relieved, my mind still went back to how easily Bailey adjusted yet he


    made my first day hell. If he hadn''t been such a dickhead then I would have easily adjusted as well. If


    anything it was his fault.


    4 days of working with Eden has passed and I was actually enjoying here time with him. He makes me


    every way. Whilst Eden is a gentleman, Caleb is a prick, bastard and a womanizer. Not once did I see


    Eden kissing another girl since I had stepped foot in this building. But why is it that I am still attracted to


    the bad boy Caleb. But recently I had forgotten about Caleb all thanks to Eden but he was there deep


    down but I had started to take a liking in Eden. His jokes, his flirty remarks and smile has made me see


    him in a new light. Plus he was hot, but not as sexy as Caleb but that wasn''t the point. The point is he


    was perfect for me.


    Fifth day:


    Today was a regr day. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. I was typing a letter when a knock on


    the door interrupted me. Before I could tell the person toe in, Eden barged through the door and


    swaggered towards me. He looked amazing today in his blue Armani suit. I wondered what the special


    asion was. He held something behind his back, hiding it from my view. I scrunched up my face in


    confusion, not knowing what was going on. He stood before me in front of the table and smiled a breath


    taking smile. "What are you hiding Eden?", I asked suspiciously eyeing his hand behind his back. He


    smiled but still didn''t respond. He came around to my side and kneeled on the floor.


    What was going on?


    "uuhh.. Eden?" I stuttered not knowing where this was heading.


    "shhhhh" he said cing his fingers on my lips.


    "Sangavi carter, would you please go on a date with me today?" he asked with puppy dog eyes, as he


    revealed a bouquet of red roses and a box which he was hiding.


    I gasped audibly, shocked at what he just said. I giggled like a teenager at his failed attempt at doing


    the puppy dog eyes but it was cute none the less. I took the roses whilst nodding my head to say yes.


    His face lit up in happiness as he jumped to his feet. He ced the box on the table and picked me up,


    spinning me around. Iughed wholeheartedly at his action. " ok ok put me down Eden. By the way


    what is in that box?" I asked curiously as he gently ced me back on my feet.


    "Open it and you will see", he grinned boyishly.


    Taking the box, I carefully opened it and whaty inside took my breath away. Inside was the most


    beautiful red dress I have ever seen. I looked at him and embraced him in a tight hug.


    "Why?", I asked still holding him as he arms snaked around my waist. " I saw it in a shop and I knew


    straight away it would look beautiful on you so I got it for you to wear on our date. Do you like it?" he


    asked looking into my eyes.


    "Like it? I love it. Thank you so so much for everything Eden", this time I looked him in the eyes to show


    how genuine I was being.


    "No problem sweetheart, now get dressed, I will wait downstairs. We will go now?" he stated.


    "Now? what about work?" I asked


    "Don''t worry about that. Just get dressed ande down."


    Nodding my head, I smiled at his retreating figure. As soon as he left I went into the bathroom and


    changed. The dress looked amazing on me. I looked hot and sexy. It hugged all my curves,


    emphasizing my slim waist. It had a slit at the side, giving a good view of my slender long Legs. It came


    just above my knees. It had thin straps that satfortably on my shoulder. There were some slits on


    my chest area that exposed some cleavage but it wasn''t deep. I loved it so much. My thick ck hair


    was already curled from yesterday so I released it from my bun and let it cascade down to my waist. I


    grabbed my red high heels that I brought here in case of emergency. I thanked god it was red. My


    make up was already fine and my hoop earnings went with the dress so there was no need for anything


    else. I did a quick touch up on my mascara and lipstick that I had in my bag and now I was ready to go.


    Feeling confident and sexy, I picked up my clutch and made my way downstairs. As soon as the


    elevator opened on the ground floor, Eden''s head whipped around. The moment he saw me his mouth


    fell open and he stared at me. I blushed and looked down feeling embarrassed. I could feel the stares


    of all the employers but I didn''t dare look at them. Eden came towards me and looked me up and


    down. " You look so sexy and beautiful." he said huskily, staring intensely at me. "Thank you", I


    muttered feeling shy.


    "Lets go now," he ced his hand on my waist and guided me towards his car. I didn''t bother asking


    where he was taking me because I knew there was no point seeing he wouldn''t tell me.


    The car ride was fun as we had our regr banter and suddenly the car ride came to a halt. I looked


    outside the window to see the most expensive and beautiful Italian restaurant. This ce was for


    romantic couples and I remember this ce as I came with Caleb for a meeting. I always wanted to


    that dream but here I was with Eden. This was close enough to my dream. It wouldn''t get any better so


    I might as well enjoy this, I thought to myself and Eden ced his arms around my waist and guided


    me inside.


    He had reserved a table for 2 by the window which had an amazing view of the city. We ced our


    order and chatted about our self. He told me about his family and I told him about mine. He told me that


    I had an exotic look because of my background and that he finds my background and tradition


    interesting. The date was going very well. I enjoyed every second spent with him. We chatted a bit


    more until the night came to an end.


    Eden went to pay the bill whilst I packed my clutch and stood up. Just as I was going to turn around,


    my dress got caught in the table and I slipped but before I could touch the floor, a pair of strong arms


    held me firmly in their embrace. Sparks went of at his touch and the familiar cologne hit my nose and


    somehow the touches seemed familiar. I tilted my face to see who my savior was and I was met with


    those same striking green eyes that live to haunt me. Just my luck to bump into my Caleb. He looked at


    me nkly but I could see the anger in his eyes. Once I was back on my feet, he eyed me from top to


    bottom, lingering on my curves. I shifted under his heated gaze but I took some time to analyse him. He


    was also wearing an Armani suit but it was ck. The first two buttons were not done up, teasing you


    with small glimpse of his toned chest. His hair was neatly styled back and I wanted to run my hands


    through it but held myself back. "What are you doing here and what the fuck are you wearing?", he


    yelled not caring that people were around.


    I was taken back by his anger but I managed to answer him. " I''m wearing a dress if you hadn''t realized


    and I''m here with....", before I could finish my sentence Eden cut in.


    "She''s here with me. Hey What''s up Caleb?" he finished, looking at me then returning his gaze to


    Caleb. Caleb was throwing deadly daggers at me but for what I didn''t know.


    "Oh I see you guys are on a date. I''m here with a date too. How''s the project going?", he asked


    seeming annoyed.


    When I heard the word date, my head shot up. Before I could decipher what he meant a slutty looking


    bimbo came and embraced Caleb in a sexual hug. She was wearing a tight dress that showed


    everything and covered nothing really. She wore heavy make up and you could see just by looking at


    her that she is a total bitch. She kissed him in front of me and he responded just as passionately. I


    couldn''t bear to see this. I felt jealousy stab me. I wanted to p this bitch. This hurt but why? I


    signaled subtly to Eden telling him I wanted to leave. He nodded and said bye to Caleb who returned


    the gesture. He threw a nce at me and our eyes met. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and


    smirked before going back to sucking faces with that bimbo. With that exchange Eden and I left. He


    dropped me off at home before leaving. The night went good apart from seeing Caleb. He looked even


    more handsome. His 5 o''clock shadow made him look feral and I liked that. Closing my eyes, I forced


    him out of my system before I let sleep take over me.


    Final day:


    The day after the date went good. He woulde into my office once in a while and we would have


    our regr banter. Today was thest day. We presented our project and we won. The offer went to


    Eden and to say he was happy would be an understatement. He was thrilled. He hugged me and span


    me around like a little child in front of the clients and I giggled. Because there was nothing else to do.


    Eden took me out. We went to the cinema to watch conjuring 2. It was fucking scary and Eden would


    justugh every time I screamed but I had fun. Then he took me to a carnival. He won me a teddy bear


    by ying that shooting game. It was funny to see his face full of concentration. It reminded of a young


    innocent boy but Eden was definitely not innocent. Time passed quickly with us having so much fun. It


    was gettingte so Eden decided to drop me home.


    The car ride was quick and we reached my house fast. As soon as we stepped out of the car, thunder


    and rain decided to make an appearance. Whoop de fricking do! But that was not the worst thing. I was


    wearing a white tunic shirt with a pick short pencil skirt. The rain drenched me, making my clothes cling


    to me like a second skin. My dark hairy motionless,resting against me, tempting Eden even more.


    You could very clearly see my red bra through my now transparent shirt. I watched as desire shone in


    Eden''s eyes. He looked me up and down, his heated gaze lingering on my chest. He took predatory


    steps towards me, his eyes never leaving my lips. I stood there, frozen. I knew what he wanted to do


    but still I stood there. It was just a kiss right? Wasn''t going to hurt anyone. Plus I wanted this. I waited in


    anticipation, wetting my lips as he cocked his head and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me


    towards him. He leaned in and I closed my eyes. But before his lips could touch mine an angry shout


    made us jump apart.


    "SANGAVI!!!" bellowed an angry voice. On recognizing that voice, my head whipped towards him in


    shock as I stared at his deadly figure which shook violently. Oh god! He was mad. No scratch that he


    was ferocious. His eyes were bloodshot and his arms were balled into a fist. To say I was scared would


    be an understatement. I was petrified.......


    But my only question is "What the hell is his problem?"
