Dismissing the meeting, he leans back and rested his head back of the chair. He glanced at neha who stood close to him wanting to grab his attention.

He frowns and straightened himself and passed a cold look.

Neil : what are you doing here? Didn't I dismiss all the staff to take a break? Why are you still here? You my employer. The rules applies to you too. Go and take a break.

He sighs seeing her still there. He losing himself. He hated the day he chose her to be his Pa till his pervious Pa comes back from his holiday.

Neil rolls his eyes and closed the file.

Neil flinched his  hand away feeling her hand touching his. He looks at her angrily.

Neil : what the heck are you doing? Do you even realise what you just did.

Neha : I know what I am saying Neil.. I love you.

Neil fisted his hand controlling his anger. His jaw clenched. He looks at Neha who wouldn't stop confessing her feelings.

At one point he had enough, he slammed his hand on the table making her flinch.

He threw a deadly glare and walks next to her and holding her hand drags her out of the meeting room and brought in the area where it caught whole staff attentions.

Neil : be quiet now. I had it enough. You were here to work and earn not fall in love with me. I don't care what your feelings are towards me but as a employer you broke my office rules. I don't want you near my office. Get you termination letter on my desk. You're fired from right now...

He yelled keeping his anger in control, even though he was fuming in anger. He looks at the security and gestures him to come near.

Neil : get this girl out of office. I don't her near this building.

Neha cries and bowing her head. She tilts her  head and looks at him in tears.

Neha : Neil.. please don't fire me.. please. I love you. I haven't done crime falling for you. Why can't you accept me? Is it because of that bitch? I knew it she had her eyes on you. It because of her. Right.

Neil : what are you waiting for? Take her out.

He gave stern a look to security guard who took her out of the office ignoring her protest.

Neil looks at his employers who went to work seeing him furious and his one glare was enough to know what do next.

Neil composed himself and went back to his cabin. He opens his cabin door and his anger immediately melts seeing the scene front of him.

His lips curves into a smile finding Avni sleeping with her head on his desk. He smiles and walks near her.

He softly caressed her hair and admires how beautiful she is when she is asleep.

His eyes fell on the clock and seeing the time realisation hits him. He sighs and softly bending down saving the work closed the laptop and kept it side.

He pecks her head and softly calls her name out.

Neil : sweetheart... wake up.

Neil smiles as he felt her stirring up and straightening herself up sitting on chair leaning her back against the chair.

He caressed her cheeks and cups her face.

Neil : would you like to eat something? It's 2pm. You have to medicine too.

Avni covers her mouth and smiles looking at Neil.

Avni : how did I fall asleep?

Neil : it's okay. You must be tired. I don't blame you. Shall I order good? Or you wanna eat out?

Avni : can we please go out and eat? I want to eat with you. Are you free? No meetings.

Neil shook his head and leans back with his body facing the door and her between him.

Neil : I haven't got a meeting. We can go out. Do you wanna grab your bag then wr will head out.

Avni gets up and kissing his cheek walks out of the cabin leaving Neil stunned. Neil chuckles at her antics.

He shook his head and sitting down on his chair pinks intercom come and informed receptionist about him going out of office for an hour.

Neil ending the call gets up grabbing his phone and blazer. He wore his blazer and locking his cabin he walks to Avni's desk unbothered about the gossip and stares that was happening behind his back.

Neil stood at Avni's desk and looks at Avni who was finding something unaware of his presence. He clears his throat gaining her attention.

Avni : hey. I didn't notice you there. Give me few minutes.. I can't find my phone. I don't remember where I left it.

Neil : you didn't leave in my cabin. It might be there. You wait here. I will grab it for you.

Neil went back to his cabin and comes back with Avni's phone in his hand. He handed the phone and ask her to hurry up.

Avni thanking him garbs the bag and stood up. She didn't fail notice pair of eyes on them.

She chucked her thoughts away and giving a small smile to Neil starts walking beside him.

Neil returns the smile back and held her hand in his. He didn't care about the gossip or what people thinks about him. All it matters to him is her happiness.

Neil with his stern face walks outside of office holding Avni's hand. Corner of his eyes he noticed shivangi smiling at them. He shook his head and nearing by the car opens the door and gestures Avni to get in.

Neil closed the door and went to other side. He settles down and fastening the seatbelt looks at Avni while starts the engine up.

Neil : which place would you like to go?

Avni : your favourite place. I am craving for Chinese and Italian.

Neil chuckles and nodding his head drove to his favourite place which wasn't that far away from the place.

Neil turns the radio and corner of his eyes he saw her smiling. He took her hand in his and rested on her lap. He would withdraw back in between.

She smiles humming the song and rested her head on his shoulder. They were so much comfortable with each other.

Neil stops the car and looks at Avni who unfasten the seatbelt and gets out of the car. Neil shook his head and comes out of the car and follows her inside.

The receptionist looks at them and smiled welcoming both of them in.

Receptionist: hello sir.. would you like to table in private room?

Neil : no! We would like one table by the view. Can you please book it for us?

Receptionist: absolutely sir. Give me a minute.

Neil nodded his head and watched the receptionist booking their table.

The receptionist guided them to their table.

Receptionist: please, make yourself comfortable. Waiter will be with you shortly.

Neil thanks her and pulls a chair for Avni and gesture her to take a sit down.

Avni's heart melted seeing his love and care. She sat down and looks through the menu feeling hungry.

Neil let's a giggle escape from his mouth settling himself down.

Neil went through menu and ordered once the waiter arrives.

They both randomly talks till their food arrives.

The waiter the food and left out keeping it on table. Neil looks at Avni and gestures her to start.

Neil : how is it? Do you love it?

Avni : this heaven Neil. I love it. I can see why you love this restaurant so much.

Neil smiles and continues to have his food.

Neil wipes his mouth with a tissue and looks at Avni who was still eating.

Neil : would you like to order dessert?

Avni : yes please.. order your favourite. I will have the same.

Neil nodded his head and calls for a waiter who comes and takes their dessert order and went.

Neil : Avni.. I was thinking about something?

Avni stops eating and looks at him in confusion.

Avni : what were you thinking?

Neil : I know you are Intelligent girl. In these months I have seen your progress and hardwork. I really don't know if I have the right to say this but I can't hold myself. I want you to progress a lot in future. I think...

He stops and looks at Avni who was listening to him carefully and trying to understand what he was saying even though she was confused.

Avni : what do you think Neil? All I have is you. You have all the damn rights to ask me or think what is right for me. I have full trust on you Neil. You won't do something to hurt me. I know it.

Neil proudly smiles seeing the faith and trust she has on him made his love increase more.

Neil : I was thanking, why don't you pursue your passion. Your passion is art. How about you do something in that field? I would love to have you as an employer in my company. You're the best but I think you could do more than this. You will ace it Avni. I want you to live the dream of yours. Follow your dream. Please think about that. It will make me happy.

Neil spoke holding her hands and caressed it lightly before he withdrew it back.

Neil thanks the waiter who brought the dessert. He did see how Avni was lost after the conversation he had.

He sighs and wondered what will happen next.
