Chapter 24 Winter Shopping
Charles was shocked, when Aaron said, “I will not do any kind of partnership with you from now on, and I am terminating all my contracts with you.”
“Mr. Rodriguez, please try to understand. We will suffer a great loss. I apologize for my son’s behavior, and if you want, I will make Eden apologize to Gavin, but please don’t do this.” Charles said, hoping for him to change his decision.
“I was away for a few days, that’s why I asked Gavin to attend your Annual Ball, but your son insulted him in front of everyone and punched him. I don’t want to have any partnership with you. Bye.” Aaron hung up the phone without giving any chance to Charles to say something.
He hit the table with his fist in anger. “Eden, Why didn’t you die along with your parents?”
He went home and told everything to Sarah. “It’s all because of that orphan and his so-called Indian girlfriend. First, she embarrassed us at a party, and now this. These Indian girls are all like this.”
“We will lose everything if anything happens to our business.” He said, massaging his temples.
“We can’t let this happen. Find a way to make Mr. Rodriguez change his mind.” Sarah said, with expectation.
“I tried to convince him to change his decision, but he clearly stated that he doesn’t want to do partnership with us anymore, and he is terminating all the contracts.” He said, and facepalmed himself.
“We should teach a lesson to Lavanya! This girl is bad luck for us.” Sarah said in anger, and he started thinking about something.
Eden also got to know about this, but he was very calm about it, enjoying his evening coffee while spending time with Lavanya.
“Lavanya, It’s November, and winters are here. You don’t have winter clothes. I was thinking about taking you shopping.” He said, taking a sip of his coffee.
“Yes, I don’t have winter clothes. Let’s go.” She stood, and he laughed.
He held her hand. “I was planning to take you out tomorrow. Not right now.”
She pouted and sat beside him again.
“Do you want to go right now?” He asked, and she nodded. “Let’s go please.”
He pulled her cheeks. “Okay! My cute angel. Go and get ready.”
She went upstairs and started getting ready. She selected a baby blue dress that had a little bow on the side. She wore it and tied her hair in a high ponytail, with a bow style hair band that was matching with her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
Eden smiled when he saw her. She was looking cute in the blue dress. They reached the mall, and Eden entered a famous shop, holding her hand. The sales assistant came to attend to them.
“How can I help you, Sir?” She asked politely, with a smile.
“I am looking for winter clothes for my beautiful girlfriend.” He said, sliding his arm around Lavanya’s waist.
“Sure, Sir. Please come this way.” The sales assistant led them to an area where all the winter clothes were arranged nicely. “This is our latest winter collection arrival. You will also find beanies and mufflers here.”
“Thank you.”
Lavanya started looking at the clothes. There were some really nice woolen sweaters, tops, dresses and jeans with matching woolen caps and mufflers. She was finding it hard to select the clothes, and got confused in choosing which one to buy as they all were very beautiful.
“They all are beautiful. I am confused. Please help me with selecting them.” She said with a pout.
Eden moved forward and started looking through them. He quickly chose lots of pairs of clothes for her and gave them to the sales assistant.
“Pack all these.”
Lavanya saw the assistant taking all the clothes with her and said to him, “You should’ve at least let me try them on. What if they didn’t fit me?”
“I know your size very well, and they are of your size.” He said, confidently.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“How are you so sure?”
“Come on Baby, I have hugged you so many times and I have held your waist so many times that I can easily tell if a dress will fit you or not, without any need of you trying it.” Eden said, and Lavanya’s face turned red. “Stop, walls have ears. How can you talk about all this openly?”
“I talked about this with the girl, whom I love a lot. It’s not a crime to talk about all this.” He said, and came back to the front of the shop, where the sales assistant was packing all the clothes Eden chose for Lavanya.
Lavanya looked at the plenty of bags and said, “These are lots of clothes. We shouldn’t buy all these. These all are too expensive.”
“You need all of them, and you’re forgetting that I am rich. I can easily afford all of these.” Eden said, giving his card to the sales assistant to pay.
“But Eden these…” She tried to say, but he cut her off and said, “I want to treat you like my queen, and my queen deserves all of this.”
Lavanya didn’t say anything else, and watched the sales assistant giving all the bags and his card to Eden. They came out of the shop with lots of shopping bags, as if they had brought the entire shop.
He placed all the bags in the backseat of the car and settled on the driving seat. They reached home and entered her room. He placed all the bags inside the walk-in closet.
“Are you happy?” He asked.
“Yes, but you shouldn’t have brought this much clothes.” He touched her cheek and kissed her forehead.
“What did I tell you? You’re my queen. Anyways, Christmas is coming next month, and this time, I plan to celebrate it happily.” He said, holding her hand.
“I am also very excited about it. I will be celebrating Christmas for the first time.” She said in excitement.
