บท 114: how beautiful?

His childlike smile had vanished the moment she mentioned the Kirat hill. Wasn't he delighted to get his hands on it?

When Mr. Jain offered her the place, Ira wasn't that excited. Now when she saw Vivan's eagerness, she was proud to inform him she got hold of not one but thirty villas there. In the back of her mind, she held Vivan's interests. As an architect, the greatest joy lies in building a dream home for people.

When Ira noticed his sullen look, she mistakenly assumed he got hurt by her words. Smack her lips. She said the quarry wouldn't be in his name, not his surprise gift.

'I was joking. What's mine also belongs to you, husband.' She thought, but words were too cheeky to leave her proud tongue. Ira did not know how to console him. So she tried to divert his attention.

"Vivan about the Quarry, as I am an expert in the management of hotels, you leave everything regarding management to me. Just do your best to build a beautiful hotel." she tried to explain.
