As Damien pulled Eden closer snaking his arm around her waist, Eden flashed him a smile showing her dimples. As if everything got blurred from the background and it were just they were there, with a soft romantic song playing somewhere, spicing the emotions in them.Being lost in each other, they continued to dance passionately. But as the song came to an end and Damien caught Eden in his arms again after swirling her around, the applaud from all around pulled them back to reality. Damien smiled at Eden only to find Martha staring at him with confusion flickering in her eyes.His smile faded away in a matter of seconds. He didn't know when he started assuming Martha as Eden. He never danced with Martha like this. Period. He never danced with her. Martha thought.Damien looked around only to find Eden walking away. Before Martha could ask her something, he left the dance floor and followed Eden. He couldn't believe all the while he was thinking about Eden as he was dancing with Marth

Damien was about to knock again when Eden answered the door. Damien came into her sight looking devilishly handsome with black jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket on it. Eden couldn't help staring at him for a few moments. Damien also took her appearance in detail. She was looking so alluring for her own damn good! Damien just mentally groaned. He looked up and found her eyes still on him but she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. He wasn't being able to come up with a resolve but now seeing Eden staring at him like this, he knew what he had to do only if he wasn't so mad at her."Ready to leave?" Damien said in his as usual cold voice. Eden was pulled out of her thoughts at his voice and looked at his icy cold eyes. "Yes, Sir." She answered, thankful that she hadn't stuttered. Eden had anticipated some scenarios like Damien talking about last night or expressing his thoughts that he wanted to give them a chance or something like they had made any progress over their fake engag

Eden didn't know how she found it in her to say everything straight to Damien but she was glad, she said it anyway. The possibility of Damien falling for her was near impossible though and she was well aware of that. Now he would shower her with cold words and show her her place gracefully. She thought. And she needed some of these to get back to the reality. Damien didn't do as per her anticipation, rather he stared at her. His heart stopped few beats as her words got registered in his mind. Her words were simple but frightening at the same time. He shook his head, convincing himself more than Eden that there would be no falling for each other between them. It would just be a marriage of convenience. That's all.Though Damien didn’t do anything like Eden thought, Eden got her answer in his look, in his silence. She got up with an intention to leave but she didn't even make it to few steps ahead before Damien stopped her."What are you_" Eden's words were stalled as Damien kissed her

When Damien reached his cabin, his as usual coffee wasn't waiting for him. Nor his desk looked like arranged neatly. He took an overall glance at his cabin and then turned to the wall of his cabin. Eden's cabin wasn't next to his but he still stared at it wondering if she wasn't in yet. She had never been late until now. He walked to his desk and took the intercom to make a call to her. His direct phone calls and messages were getting ignored anyway. Her intercom also remained unanswered too much for his irritation. Half an hour passed but there was no sight of Eden and this time, Damien got worried. Did she decide to leave the job? Leave him altogether? Without even bothering to talk to him for once! He took the intercom and called the receptionist to know if Eden was in. Her answer disappointed him even more. He reached for his phone only to notice the text from Eden. She was asking for two days off. No, she wasn’t asking. She was just informing him that she was taking it. Who

When Eden took another step toward him, Damien casually kept the ring on the desk as if it had nothing to do with her. His voice was as cold as ever when he voiced out, "You should have knocked." "Sorry, Sir. I did a knock. But you didn't respond." Eden replied with a frown. What's the matter with him? Just now he was staring at the ring longingly that belonged to her a few days back. No, not belonged to. She had it on her finger just. Her mind reminded her. "Then you should have waited." Damien said coldly and shoved the ring into the drawer. He turned to her again and said, "Anyways, you were saying something?" "Yes, Sir. You have a meeting in half an hour." "Okay. You go. Arrange it. I will be there." Damien was thinking of asking about her father but at last, he didn't. What's the point? ~~ Two days got passed but the air between Damien and Eden was still dense. None of them tried to clear it having different types of thoughts going on in their mind. Damien was relived findi
