Healed By Love

Chapter 8: Love Birds

" Argh! Who has to call now?" I mumbled getting up from my sleep. I tried to get up but them realised his arms were around me. I opened my eyes by great difficulty, and there he was, with his eyes closed, looking so cute. The flashbacks of last night hit me. It seems like all of that was a dream.

It was just a week ago that my life was nothing but hell. Just work was the only thing I knew. How in just a week my life has changed. I am not alone anymore. I have Advik back. I have Ahaana back. What more can I ask for? Just this was the thing I wanted. If only Mom and Dad have also been here. But they are not.

Advik's eyes slowly opened and a smile formed on his face.
" Good morning." He said scooting closer, his voice more husky.

" 'morning. Did you sleep well?"

" I did. I even dreamt of you."

I let out a chuckle. " You have become so clingy now."

" Just for you. Do you know something? You are so beautiful." He said while caressing my hair.

" Are you sure because I think I look like a mess."

" You are beautiful and I am not taking it back." I chuckled at it.

My phone again started ringing.
" Argh! I don't want to get up." I said while trying to get up but he again held me and made me fall down on his chest.

" Then don't."

" I have to. Those creatures might burn down my whole house." He laughed at it and removed his hands from my waist. I got up. This dress is not meant to sleep in.

I looked for my phone and it was there on the table. I picked it and checked the caller ID. It was my assistant. Hell with it! I rubbed my neck in habit and touched the cold metal there was. The pendant made a smile on my face.

I picked up the phone. " Hello mam?"

" I am here. What happened?"

" Mam, actually we got a call from L.A. branch and actually...umm..."

" What happened? Tell me."

" They are saying that the designs that they selected for the anniversary was released by some other brand today. And it has been done by the same designers."

" What the fuck." I was in utter shock.

" And mam, the shareholders want to have a conference as to why so many designs are rapidly being leaked."

" What the fuck is going on in my company?! What is the legel team doing? The bastard is still roaming freely?"

" I am sorry Mam."

" Why would you be sorry? Fix the conference in an hour."

" Ok mam." With that she hung up the call and I again fell on my back and took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

" What happened?" I looked at Advik who was sitting straight now. Still sleepy. I can't even tell how I would be looking. I washed the makeup from my face yesterday and went to sleep. My hair is a mess.

" The Managing director of my company is leaking all the designs. The summer collection was revealed and now the anniversary collection. At this rate I won't even get to sleep. And plus, I have to go Canada. What will I do?" I said looking straight in the sky.

" Canada? Why?" I looked at him and sat straight.

" I have opened a resort there, so I have to check how it is going and also have to be there for the inauguration ceremony."

" For how many days?" I looked down at my lap. I will again be alone. This has been my life. Every month I am at a different place to handle the work of that place. Apart from Earthly Fashions, there are two more companies managed by me. A tech company and a hotel branch. Earthly Fashions was the company that I started my career with. I never really thought I would get someone so special in my life again and that's why I did every work that came in my hand without thinking because I had no one else to give time to.
