(Mature Language 18+; Double Update Read CHAPTER 4 First!)
Sitting at the dining table, he kept looking at her hoping that she would look back at him like yesterday but oh boy, how wrong he was.
He wasn't a fool! He could clearly understand that the reason behind her avoiding him was the little 'almost kiss' incident that happened a while back in his room. And to say he was mad at himself for not controlling himself and giving into his heart's desire would be so small.
He wanted to hit himself for making things so uncomfortable for her. For sure, she is a shy girl and he should have considered that before pulling her into his arms.
Why was he so impatient?
Without even raising her head, she started serving 'sabudana khichdi'. While Xavier shamelessly relished the tasty food licking his fingers, Abhimanyu praised her for her great cooking. Of course she just politely smiled at them as if thanking them but had not uttered even a single word.
Oh how much he wanted to pull her back in his arms and apologise to her for being so impatient. But the question is how long will he be able to control himself?
"What's wrong? Why are you not eating?" Xavier asked taking a second help of this delicious food while Eric cleared his throat and said, "Nothing! I was just thinking about something."
His lips curled up a little the instant he tasted this divine thing. He didn't know how she managed it but even after being lost in her thoughts, she cooked so well. How could he resist himself from not kissing her hands? He had no idea if all women in India cooked so well but he surely knew one thing that this woman was way beyond excellent.
Without any second thoughts, he cleared his throat and looked at the men saying, "I won't be coming to the site today. You guys can carry on!"
"Why?"
"Because I am jet lagged!" Eric responded back ever so nonchalantly nearly irking Xavier. Of course he couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes and snap at him, "As if you are the only one who took a flight from Canada to India!"
"I have something to take care of. I have already completed the plant design last night. I am sure you won't have any problem." He said eating another spoon of this deliciousness while Xavier narrowed his eyes into thin slits and mouthed, "You f*****! I know you why exactly you are jet-lagged!"
But like did Eric care? Nope!
Without even paying any heed to his best friend's irritation, Eric shamelessly stuffed his mouth with the delicious khichdi while poor little Mahima who had no clue what this man was planning, simply stood there hoping the men will leave very soon giving her sometime alone for a good self talk that would bring her wandering mind and heart back in place.

To say her jaw dropped down and hit the floor the instant she realised this man wasn't going to work would be way beyond nothing. Her eyes had popped out of their sockets and her heart dropped without any delay.
