Once they reached London and Pari had enough rest, Ian took her to his mom's place. He thought his mom could handle her better right now than him. He knew she was scared of being lonely after that incident, so he always made sure to spend most part of his day with her. Every night when she got nightmares, he was there to console her and assure her that he would stay by her side always. Though he had managed to handle work from home, he got continuous calls from Seattle asking him to return back since the issue was out of hand right now. Leaving her alone was not something he would want to do.But situations were pushing him towards the other end of the road. He knew she was the only one who could keep him sane all the time. He really wished he could have taken her with him than let her go that day.Things were harsh for Pari after the incident. All she had now was tears, pain, heartbreak. It was as if someone had snatched her happiness right in front of her eyes and she couldn't do a
It's almost been a week since Ian went to Seattle. The situation in the factories was almost settled but he had to stay there for some more time. Though Pari missed him more than she had imagined, she couldn't complain since she was the one who pushed him to complete his work. Even though Pari wasn't in a mood to attend a party, she couldn't deny joining Avery's birthday party organised by her friends. She even had to help Noah to pick a gift for Avery. After the celebration, she went back to Ian's mom's place as she was staying there till he returned. As per his strict instructions she called him before going to bed only to hear him rant about his day. She knew it wasn't easy for him to handle everything on his own there. "I wish I could fly back to London at the earliest and cuddle next to you baby. Working without you has been a horrible experience" He let out a long sigh. "I'll join you at work once you come back. But when will you be done there? Are there any new issues at th
Ian asked the driver to hand over the keys and said he would drive by himself. He drove slowly and smoothly on the empty roads of Richmond. But he stopped the car randomly and got down and pulled Pari out. She was entirely clueless about his actions. "I don't think I can hold back anymore" He breathed in her ear and claimed her lips. Even Pari had missed him so much. So she let him take control. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer. His torrid kissing had her pinned to the car surface. "It's no-parking space. We might end up with fines" She spoke with a staggered breath. "It's worth a heavy fine. Your man is rich enough to pay them" Ian replied with a cocky smile. She smiled into the kiss and continued to kiss him enjoying the warmth of his lips . He pulled her into a tight embrace after breaking the kiss."I feel like I'm back home" He said as he kissed her hair."I feel home too now that you're back" She replied, kissing his chest. He resumed driving once both of
They reached the office along with their banters. For Pari, walking to the office felt nostalgic as she hadn't been here for a long time now. She got busy with work again. This helped her to calm down and focus on life. She knew this would be the new lifestyle that she was going to choose leaving behind all her past. Austin was really happy to see her back at work. They both had a lot to discuss about each other's life which included a lot of ranting by Austin about Ian's crazy behaviour at work. Pari thoroughly enjoyed the gossip session during their lunch break. "Anyways, I'm really happy that you're back and hope you'll be here always" Austin said as they wrapped up their lunch break. "Of course I'll be here always since I have nowhere else to go and more than anything, I've realised that this is what I need in my life right now" She knew London would be her new address henceforth since her home in Pune didn't want her anymore. Life was back to the normal track after she starte
After spending a good Saturday night at Ian's place, Pari thought her Sunday wouldn't be much different. She lazily woke up and prepared some breakfast only to find her boyfriend busy making some phone calls. After waiting for a long time, finally Ian was back in the dining room. "You looked busy.. " She was curious but didn't want to make it obvious. "Yeah. I'll be out on a trip" He curtly replied. “Is it important?" She asked him with a puppy face and he nodded in response. “Then why am I not travelling with you?" She didn't remember any of his schedules mentioning this trip. “Baby.. If we both travel, who'll take care of the office?" Ian wanted to travel alone this time, which was indeed a rare occasion. “Austin can. Actually he does it all the time" “He does. But I want my girlfriend to take her boyfriend's role. So please baby" Ian was trying hard to convince her to say yes. Though Pari wasn't really happy, she had no other options but to say yes. “I'll miss you"
Ian was still thinking about his conversation with Pari. She was particularly too distracted that day. She even made silly mistakes while noting down the details of the meeting. She didn't even meet Ian during lunch break, instead went out to catch some fresh air. Ian couldn't understand why she was behaving this way. After lunch they had an important investors meeting and Pari was supposed to make the presentation. But due to her clumsiness, she had deleted the presentation and ended up crying in front of Ian in his cabin. Though Ian was upset, he couldn't really bring himself to raise his voice against her. He asked her to take a day off and handled the meeting himself. Though Ian had asked her to go home, Pari had stayed back in his cabin. Ian returned back from the meeting late, only to see Pari in his cabin. "If I'm not wrong, I asked you to go home Ms. Deshmukh. Why are you still here? " Ian sternly asked her as he settled in his seat. "I… I'm sorry… I should have been caref
Ian asked Austin to stay back with the driver and went ahead to ring the doorbell. He saw a lady in her early fifties opening the door slightly. That was Pari's mother, he had seen her in Pari's photos. “May I know who it is? " She asked him. “I'm here to meet Mr. and Mrs. Deshmukh." He tried to speak slowly and steadily. She let him in and called her husband and asked him to sit down. Ian sat there and glanced at the room. It wasn't a huge one but it was aesthetically decorated. Pari's father walked in and settled in the seat opposite to Ian. “I'm Ajay Deshmukh and this is my wife Shilpa. I heard you wanted to meet us?" Ajay asked, glancing at his foreigner guest. Ian looked at the man of the house who was now in his late fifties with a few grey hairs here and there. “Yes Sir. I'm here to talk something about your daughter Pari '' Ian replied. “So you're her boss? " His demeanour changed quickly. “Let me introduce myself to you. I'm Ian Evans, as you guessed I'm your
Ian was back in the car and Austin was confused if or not to ask him anything. “You can ask me," Ian said, understanding the situation. “How was it?" Austin asked him finally. Though he was aware of his boss's relationship, he never really asked him or Pari about anything. If anything, he was happy for them. Though Ian was a strict boss, Austin had learnt a lot from him and he was grateful for it. On the other hand, Pari was a great colleague and a dear friend. So he silently supported their relationship. “Pretty intense..." Ian replied with a long sigh. “Hope things go well " “Hope so. Take me to the hotel. We'll leave in the evening. Get the jet ready" Ian was eager to run back home to his beloved lady. “Yes sir. I'll make the arrangements." Austin instantly got busy with phone calls. They returned to the hotel soon and Ian decided to take a long shower. He decided to enjoy the authentic Indian food that his girlfriend always praised and true to her words, the food
