Chapter 37 Girls Day Out
She looked towards the entrance and saw Jaime entering the mansion.
She hugged her. “What a pleasant surprise, Jaime.”
They sat down on the sofa. “I am here to take you out with me for shopping.” Jaime said while placing her white luxury handbag on the table.
“Oh! I need to ask your brother about this first.”
“Why? My brother will not mind if you go out with me.” Jaime laughed.
“It’s not about that. I have to inform him.” She wanted to inform him because she was a little afraid after the molestation she faced at college and also everything that happened at the Annual Ball party. “Can I use your phone please?” She asked, looking at Jaime expectantly. Jaime furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “You don’t have a phone?”
“Your brother has my phone with him.” She replied. Jaime didn’t ask any more questions as she knew why Eden had taken her phone, dialed Eden’s number, and gave her phone to Lavanya.
He quickly answered the call and said, “Hello! Jaime.”
“It’s not Jaime. It’s me.” She said, looking at Jaime.
“Baby, Is everything alright? Why are you calling from Jaime’s phone?” He asked.
“It’s because you have my phone. That’s why I called you from her phone to inform you that I am going shopping with Jaime.” She informed him.
“Okay, I am sending Ray. He will go with you, and I will also send my card for you with him. You can spend as much as you want. It’s password is yours and my birthdate.” He said, looking at Ray, who was standing beside him.
“There’s no need for this. I don’t want to buy anything. I am just going to accompany Jaime.” She said, biting her lower lip.
“If you like something, you can buy it. Enjoy your Girls Day Out.” He hung up the call and thought, looking at the blank screen. “I should give her a phone now.”
He gave his card to Ray and said, “I got this card for Lavanya. Give this to her and make sure of her safety.”
“Okay, Sir.” Ray left his cabin.

Lavanya gave the phone back to Jaime and said, “We have to wait for Ray. I will go get and get ready.”
After twenty minutes, they saw Ray entering the mansion. He greeted Lavanya, and his cheeks turned a little red while greeting Jaime. Lavanya noticed this and hardly controlled herself from laughing at Ray.
“Miss Lavanya, Sir told me to give this to you.” He forwarded the card in her direction. She took it from him and placed it inside her handbag.
They all left for the shopping mall. It was the same shopping mall where Eden had brought her before. Jaime held Lavanya’s hand and entered a shop with her, with Ray following them. They started looking for clothes.
“How’s this?” Jaime showed a yellow color dress to Lavanya.
“It’s nice. You should try it.” She said, and Jaime went inside the changing room to try the dress. She felt someone’s eyes on her when she was waiting for Jaime to come out. She moved her eyes all around the shop but didn’t find anyone.
Ray saw her looking around the shop nervously and asked, “Is everything alright, Miss Lavanya?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She looked at him. “Everything is fine.”
He nodded, and she started looking the clothes. She took a deep breath and thought, “Maybe, I am hallucinating.”
“Lavanya.” Jaime’s voice broke her trance. She looked at Jaime and smiled as she was looking beautiful in that yellow dress. Ray also looked at Jaime.
“Gorgeous!” He said, and both Jaime and Lavanya looked at him with wide eyes. Jaime was shocked by his compliment, and her cheeks turned a deep shade of red whereas Lavanya was smiling.
Ray realized what he had said, so he quickly apologized to her. “Sorry, Miss Jaime.”
Jaime ran inside the changing room to hide her blush from him, and Lavanya laughed seeing her like this. She looked at Ray. “If you like her, just confess it.”
“Sir will never accept our relationship.” He said, and Lavanya furrowed her eyebrows. “Don’t worry about him. I know how to make him agree.”
Jaime came out of the changing room, and tried more dresses. Jaime purchased all the dresses, looked at Lavanya and said, “You should also buy something. You have my brother’s card with you.”
She pressed her lips in a straight line and thought, “I should buy something for Eden.”
Jaime snapped her fingers to break her trance. “What are you thinking?”
She smiled. “I am thinking about buying a shirt for Eden.”
“Okay then, let’s go.” They all exited that shop and entered an another shop which was famous for men’s wear. She selected a sea-green shirt and showed it to Jaime. “This will look nice on brother.”
Lavanya took out the card from her handbag and gave it to the sales assistant along with the shirt.
“Ma’am, please fill out the password to complete the payment.”
She filled in her birthdate first, but she didn’t know about Eden’s birthdate. She looked at Jaime and Ray. “I don’t know what is Eden’s birthdate.”
Jaime raised her eyebrows. “You don’t about his birthday.”
She shook her head, and Jaime whispered it in her ears. “It’s Eighteenth March.”
“His birthday is next month?”
“Yes! You can gift him this shirt on his birthday.” Jaime said excitedly.
“Buying a gift for him with his money. It’s not right. I am not buying it.” She was about to say something to the sales assistant, but Jaime stopped her and said, “You should buy this. The best part of this gift to him will not be this shirt. The best part will be that you brought this for him. You’re special in his life.”
She smiled and brought the shirt. They were done with their shopping and were going to exit the shopping mall when she again felt someone following her. She turned to look around. Ray noticed her, and he too looked around, but both of them didn’t see anyone or anything suspicious. Jaime also turned and asked, “What happened, Lavanya?”
She looked at her and said, “No…nothing.”
They all exited the shopping mall. A person hiding behind a pillar came out and said to himself, “It’s going to be really hard for boss to kill her because of this Bodyguard, who always accompanies her.”
