On hearing Austin's words Lilly's heart started fluttering..... Deep inside her heart she started urging more such words from Austin. She is lost in Austin's eyes and does not want to come back to senses. Maybe, because she started feeling that somewhere Austin is different with her. Also, in her life no boy before has given this much attention to her or maybe she never cared about someone before him.

But she replied by mustering her courage, "Huhhhh???"

Austin has now no idea that how should he reply her back, he started feeling annoyed at himself and says in his head, "How many times I am going to say dumb things in front of her. I always end up messing up our simple conversation... She must be feeling ridiculous on my statement."

Austin clears his throat and replied intermittently, "I mean that, I never have thought of having a girlfriend before. Thank you for your suggestion. Youuu are the first person to make me realize that I should have girlfriend. That's what I meant."

Lilly got little sad on Austin's answer and says to herself, "Maybe, I had thought too much high for myself. Why he will be interested in me?"

She took her eyes off from Austin and started looking to the ground and says, "OOOhhh. I understand. Don't worry you have a handsome face, great personality, kind behavior, established career. It will not be difficult for you to have a girlfriend."

Austin is very happy to hear such compliments from Lilly and says, "I never knew you know so well about my traits. What about you? You are beautiful and talented. Don't you have a boyfriend?"

Lilly sighed and replied, "No not yet."

Austin got so much happy to get assured that she is not seeing anyone as well as is unable to control his cheerful emotions and immediately replied by smiling, "That's Great!!"

Lilly was bit shocked and started thinking, "Why is he happy on knowing that I don't have any boyfriend. Is that possible that he is interested in me?". By having this thought Lilly's heart again started pounding strongly. Her face got more brighter and she asked immediately, "What is great about me having no boyfriend?"

Austin this time now really can't stay calm and started bending his head with annoying expression, he closed his fist near his head and started hitting it very lightly and says himself, "NO....... Nottttt againnnnn.........!!!

He looked back to Lilly; she was looking at him, he sees that her eyes are full of doubts and thus started feeling more complex... He took a deep breath and tries to calm down himself and says, "I mean we are on a same boat. I found that great that I am not the only person who is single at this age."

Lilly replied, "OH I see.... To be single at this age is common thing, my colleagues Ava and Daniel are also single."

Austin figured out that Daniel must be the same boy that was playing with Lilly in canteen. He got furious on hearing his name. He says in a resentful way to Lilly, "Daniel must be the boy with whom you were playing in canteen. Right?"

Lilly was surprised that he remembers that they were playing around in canteen and says, "I know you were there, but I thought you didn't paid attention to us. You seemed to be busy on a phone call."

Austin was feeling angry but was not showing it much and says, "You both were laughing and playing in canteen. Everyone around has saw that. I didn't like that Daniel. He seemed to be very notorious." He said this with a complete expression of jealousy on his face, obviously he was not knowing it, hence is looking cute.

Lilly on seeing this expression of Austin somewhere felt the vibes of jealousy from him and hence felt elated on seeing his cute expressions and started grinning.

Here the break gets finished and next session is of Aerobics. Everyone got up from the ground and joined the enthusiastic rhythm for Aerobics.

After few minutes, while taking turn Lilly's ankle got twisted, she became imbalanced and fell over Austin. Austin immediately balances himself to save Lilly from falling and saved her. This is their moment....... He is holding Lilly and looking deep inside her eyes. They both get lost in each other's eyes and after locking their eyes for minute Austin with a concerned tone asks, "Are you alright. What happened?"

Lilly suddenly realizes that she was just lost in his eyes and promptly looses herself from his hands and says, "I am very sorry. I got imbalanced. Thanks for saving me."

Austin in a concerned tone says, "Are you sure, you are fine. Just check your ankle. Is it okay? You are not hurt anywhere?"

Lilly is so elated on hearing Austin's concerned words and try to move her ankle but felt acute pain. She can't control her pain and shouts, "Ouccchhh...."

Austin got nervous on hearing Lilly's scream and promptly sat down to check her ankle and says, "Lilly you are not fine. Your ankle is swollen."

Lilly surprisingly asks, "Is it?"

Austin says in a worried state, "You can't continue for now. You need first aid to get this cured. Come with me I will treat you. Let's go"

Lilly astonishingly asks, "Now?? You know how to treat this? I think its fine."

Austin pulled her hands and says, "Don't be irresponsible. Just come with me."

He waved at Henry and then  by putting her hands on his shoulders Austin lifted Lilly in his arms and took her for treatment..

Lilly is just looking in his eyes and can't contain herself in this close proximity of Austin and started feeling millions of butterflies in her stomach...

They went inside he made Lilly sat on a chair and goes to search Relief spray. Henry has texted him and hence Austin could easily find spray.

He sat down on his knees took her ankle and started spraying it. He looks extremely worried, while spraying his hands are shaking as he is feeling the pain of Lilly and asking Lilly, "Is this going fine. It's not hurting much right?"

Lilly is numb and forgot all her pain by seeing Austin's worried face, she started melting from Austin's touch and is so pleased with Austin's concern and says, "I am the one who is hurt but look at you it seems that you are hurt."

Austin stops, looks into Lilly's eyes and says, "I can see the swelling hence I know that it's painful. I can feel you are in pain. Is this spray being effective or we should go to a doctor."

Lilly laughed and says, "Why are you worried so much. It's nothing much. I am already feeling good... In few minutes I will be able to run a marathon."

Austin laughed on hearing Lilly's words and says, "You are brave and confident. Not like other girls who cries over little pain."

Lilly replied him with a wide smile, "Yeah!! I am very strong. But what about you? I saw you were so scared now and were behaving as you are hurt instead of me. Are you not strong?"

Austin by looking deep into Lilly's eyes replied, "I was feeling your pain and praying hard that you can't feel it instead I should feel that pain."

Lilly is mesmerized in Austin's words and locked her eyes into his eyes and asks, "Why?"

Austin's heartbeat is speeding up, he wants to say his feelings for Lilly but can't say anything as he is not sure completely as well as scared of Lilly's reaction and murmured, "Because......"

She asks him with all her hopes getting high, "Because......????"

Austin took off his eyes from Lilly and replied, "Ummm...!! Because you are my employee..."

Lilly's all hopes again dropped on hearing this and she murmured, "Are you really this very nice with every employee?!?"

Austin lays his eyes on Lilly and asks, "What? Did you say something?"

Lilly replied, "No... Nothing. I think I should leave now. Thanks for today..."

Austin says, "Are you going home? Let me drop you. You can't go alone in this state."

Lilly replied, "No. I said I am fine besides I have my car I can go by myself."

Austin is still worried for Lilly and says, "Okay fine. Let me take you to your car. Let's go..."

They both went to the parking Austin called his driver to receive him, "Hello!" What? Where? How?" Austin says these words in a startled state and ended his call."

Lilly got curious on seeing Austin worried and asks him, "What happened? Something is wrong?"

Austin promptly replied, "My driver met an accident. Currently he is in hospital. I have to go there. You head back safely towards your home and call me back once you are reached safely."

Lilly got worried for Austin by hearing this and says, "Hey I have a car. Let's go there together. It's not easy for a cab to arrive on time at this hour."

Austin says, "No... I can't bother you for my matter. Also, you are not well."

Lilly says in an assured tone, "I am very fine and if you feel so... Take these keys and drive yourself. C'mon hurry up..."

Austin felt that Lilly is right in this situation hence, agreed to her and drive her car. They rushed to the hospital. They reach there and Austin found his driver. His driver's hands are hurt and bit on head also. But doctor has examined him completely and did all the required dressing.

Austin in a concerned tone says to his driver, "Are you alright?"

His driver replied, "Yes Master. I am now completely fine. It's just a bit painful in hands. Otherwise I am well now."

Austin feels relaxed on hearing this and says, "I am so glad that you are fine. Please take proper rest now and don't worry about your job I will manage by my own for few days. Now I will go and settle the bills."

His driver is extremely happy by hearing Austin's words and says, "Thank you Master."

Lilly is observing Austin's kind behavior and can't help herself but just falling for him. She thinks in her head, "He is not worried a bit also about his car damage and all his concern is for his driver. How can someone be this generous? He must be saying right,he is like this only with his employees.....Either it is me or his driver....... We all are same for him.....!!"

Austin and Lilly go to the counter for paying bills and Austin is thankful for Lilly's help.

"Lilly. Thankyou so much for your help today. Because of you I was able to reach to my driver on time."

Lilly smiled and says, "You also helped me today. So now we are even."

Austin laughed on Lilly's answer and says, "Today you must be very tired. As a gesture of thanks let me treat you to dinner today. Is that okay?"

Lilly is extremely enjoying Austin's company and want to spend more time with him and says, "Well... I think we should definitely eat now. I am extremely tired and hungry. Let's go."

Austin is very happy that Lilly get agreed for dinner and he drove Lilly's car and heads to the restaurant.

Austin picked a restaurant nearby and after reaching there, they are checking menu to order food. Austin ordered soft drinks for them.

While Lilly is checking menu, suddenly she heard Daniel's voice, "Lilly, CEO you both here?"

A/N: Lilly also started giving in now. It's just because of Austin's behavior. When someone care about you, treat you special it's inevitable that you will start to fall for them. Austin wants to confess but he has actually not confessed to himself that he is in love with Lilly, hence can't do it. But as you all have felt that things have started happening now. Sooner or later they have to confess. I expect that all my lovely readers are enjoying this. So please show your responses through comments. On seeing your lovely comments I feel that I am on cloud eleven. It just makes my day. Love you all.
