The One I've Loved 52 A Bright Smile On Her Face

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 fas.h.i.+on 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 fas.h.i.+on 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 .
