Her Innocent Love

9 ~ Office Lunch

Reyansh's POV

She was hurt and broken. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be something like this. My knuckles turned white when she mentioned that the guy wanted to get physical with her. I wanted to kill that bastard. How dare he think of manipulating munji ghull. This was too much for her innocent heart. No wonder she doesn't want to have friends. Why would anyone want to after such experiences? I had considered being her friend first, but not anymore. I can't make her go through the same thing again. She'll never trust me. The only way left now is to ask her directly, but what if she still loves him? I'll let her decide whatever she wants. No matter what she decides, I'll always be by her side. She will not be alone anymore. She must be crying right now. I can feel it. Only I know how I'm controlling the urge to run to her and wipe those tears from her beautiful eyes. I'll remove every reason for your tears, munji ghull (my flower). I kept the the phone down and took a quick nap.

I woke up early to attend a few meetings. After having breakfast with my princess, I left for work. I visited a few sites to finalize a plot for the restaurant. It was a hectic day, so I didn't get a chance to talk with her. It's fine. I'll call her tonight. I want to hear her honey coated voice. I'm missing it so much.

"Sir, Mr. Douglas sent an invitation for his daughter's birthday," my PA, Nicole, informed me.

"When is it?"

"It's tomorrow evening."

"Okay, add it to my calendar."

"Sure," she nodded and left. Should I text her? But I don't want to seem like those wannabe guys. Let me call that bastard first. He didn't even text me once.

"Hi Jindal ji, are you alive?"

"What's up, Rey?"

"Everything is down without you, my love."

"Can you stop with your cheesy lines for once?"

"Never. When are you coming to see me?"

"I won't be able to come today. Dad made me handle his new hotel."

"Which one, Paradise?"

"Yeah, the manager there resigned, and he wants me to take over for a while."

"Oh, so that's what he wanted to discuss with you that day."

"Yeah. Kabir is also accompanying me."

"That's nice. Well, it's okay if you can't come. My work is almost done. I can come and see you guys. Also, I'll see if I need a partnership with Paradise," I said sarcastically.

"Sure, sure. Mr. Rushabh would love to have Takhtani's branch in Paradise. I'll be done in an hour, hopefully. Come around that time."

"Okay. See you." I hung up and reviewed some files before leaving for Paradise.

I parked my Audi in the VIP section and headed towards the entrance. As I walked inside, I was immediately impressed by its sophisticated elegance. The entrance showcased sleek, minimalist furniture that highlighted vibrant Indian textiles and stunning artwork. In the center, a polished concierge desk stood ready for service, exuding efficiency and professionalism. Warm wooden accents blended seamlessly with polished glass and metal finishes, creating a chic yet inviting atmosphere. Soft, ambient lighting enhanced the luxurious feel, while the subtle fragrance of fresh flowers added a refined touch. This perfect fusion of modern style and cultural richness set the stage for a truly exceptional experience, ideal for both business and pleasure.

I approached a concierge named Chetna, who was busy with multiple guests, so I decided to go to another one who was arranging files on the other side.

"Hi, Miss."
