Jessica received a phone call from her parents which brought her back to her senses . She took phone from her bag which Austin gave her before she got down from the car saying that his a.s.sistant brought it to the hospital . The call she received was from her mother .Sweetheart , how are you . I just came to know about you from your aunt .
She sounded apologetically for not being there with her daughter when she needed her the most .
I"m fine mom , I just reached home , Jessica replied unlocking her door .
Why do you have to work and live alone , look what happened now , should"ve listened to your father and married that guy , do you have any idea how much your dad and I was worried when we got to know that you admitted in hospital ? , she said on the phone which made Jessica"s head ache .
I"m fine mom , please tell dad not to worry about me , she said lying on the bed as soon as she got into her bedroom .
We are coming tomorrow , her mother said to which Jessica replied with an Okay and then ended the call after saying , I"ll see you both tomorrow then .
She must"ve been exhausted because of the work and because of the pressure we were putting on her to marry , Jessica"s father who was listening to their conversation said to his wife .
I guess we need to give her time , her father said taking his phone from her mother .
She only nodded to his words .
But they had no idea that the reason for her to faint was due to the shock given by Austin by appearing in front of her .
As soon as Austin reached his house , he called his a.s.sistant .
Good morning Sir , you don"t have to worry about the people who took pictures , Only few people saw you taking Ms. Olsen with you and everything is under our control now , Steve said .
Good , Austin replied .
Is everything ready ? , Austin asked Steve.
Yes sir , Steve replied on the phone .
Okay , Austin replied and ended the call .
Steve is a man in his early thirties , he is Austin"s a.s.sistant whom Austin trusts the most . He is a person who gives his best to completes the work given by his boss at any cost .
After ending her mother"s call Jessica checked her messages on her phone .
She received a message from an unknown number . It was the same number from which she received a message few days ago which said " I"ll meet you on Tuesday ."
That day she ignored the message thinking that it was Jake"s number . But it wasn"t Jake"s number .
//
Don"t think much about what happened few minutes ago .
Sleep well and give me an answer to my question after waking up .
I"ll be waiting . //
The girl who was lying on bed until now got up and sat on the edge of the bed in shock .
How did he even know my number ? , Was it from Justin ? , No that can"t be . Think Jessica Think .... Wait , doesn"t that mean our meeting wasn"t coincidence , he knew that I would be there yesterday , right ? , she thought .
How did you get my number ? , she texted him .
After thinking for almost an hour she texted him back . It was after she sent him the message it struck her mind that the person who texted her was Austin Ames who can get anything if he wanted , getting her number was just a piece of cake to him .
Why didn"t my brain work before sending him this message , she said out loud as she was the only one in her room .
Austin looked at the message she sent him and smiled but he didn"t reply .
Jessica decided of not going to work today so she left a message to Hannah who is her colleague , Hannah is a designer too . Jessica texted her that she is taking a leave today .
She thought of sleeping instead of thinking more and stressing her brain but then Hannah called her .
No , you can"t take a leave today , we have an important meeting , Hannah said on the phone .
What meeting ? , Jessica asked her .
Hannah doesn"t know anything about what happened to her and also about the things which took place in the make up room .
We have an important meeting today , I thought you knew about it , Hannah said.
Oh , I forgot about it , I"ll see you ithe office , Jessica said and ended the call .
Few days ago , top designers who work in Sanchez received a notification that there would be a meeting the very next day after fashion show and it was an order by the president for everyone not to take leave on that day .
It was already eight in the morning and the meeting was at ten . Jessica reluctantly got up from her bed and went to take shower . After coming from shower she checked her phone for the n"th time now . She kept checking her phone if she got any reply from Austin . But she didn"t receive any message from him .
Jessica took a cab to her office since her car was parked at the place where the fashion show rook place the other day . By the time she reached office it was already 9:30 .
Everybody in the office were busy since their president was coming today . It was the first time for their president to call the top designers for a meeting without any reason .
Jessica took the lift to go to fifteenth floor where the meeting was going to be held . She looked at her watch and saw that fifteen minutes were left for the meeting to start . When everybody in the lift moved out she was stopped from leaving .
Austin caught her hand and pulled her towards him . She was surprised to see him .
After the lift doors got closed , Austin pressed the stop b.u.t.ton so the lift wouldn"t open .Only these two were in the lift .
What are you doing here ? , she asked him .
Shouldn"t you reply to my question instead of asking me ? , he said to the girl who stood only a few inches away from him .
The question he asked her wasn"t a difficult question and it wasn"t easy too . She would"ve given him an answer without any delay if only he had told her what he actually felt for her instead of teasing her by asking a question which she didn"t expect .
Did you come here to know my answer ? , she asked him .
Isn"t that obvious , he smirked.
She didn"t ask him about how he came inside because she knew that n.o.body would stop a person like him from entering into her office .
Austin I have a meeting now , she said trying to release her hand from his but she failed .He pulled her closer towards him holding her hand little tighter than before .
You answer me and I"ll leave your hand for now . I promise , he whispered into her ear which tickled her .
She took a deep breathe before answering him .
Okay , she said.
What do you mean by Okay , he said pulling her more closer towards him .
Love me then , she said with a blushy smile on her face .
The expression she had while answering his question made him want to pull her closer to him instead of leaving her but he was man who would keep his words , he left her hand free and pressed the b.u.t.ton to let the lift doors open.
I"ll see you later . she said taking a few steps back from him and left with a bright smile on her face which Austin didn"t miss to notice .
As soon as she entered the meeting hall everyone stood which made her stop at the entrance in confusion . She didn"t know that the reason they stood was not because of her but because of the man who stood behind her .
