"I dedicate this chapter to my best friend 'Jasleen' to tell you that anything is possible in this world. you just have to have faith on yourself and let fate play its games."

I and Amelia walk side by side to the Refreshment Area which is on the ground floor of the building. This is one of the facilities I like here the most. This area is like a mini five-star restaurant. Every kind of dish is available here and is made of very good quality. I am very grateful to Andrew's dad to think this much about the health of the employees.

We sit at the same table on the one corner of the area near the window with outside view of the bustling city of New York. Amelia orders her usual chicken salad and I order my all time favorite Sushi. The food here is so delicious that it feels like there is heaven in your mouth.

I sigh dreamily thinking about 'the food from heaven' and Amelia raises her one eyebrow at me giving me a questioning look. I know what she is thinking. Here's coming the question of century.

"Are you thinking about Andrew?" ,she says while staring straight in my eyes to catch any lie she is going to think I am going to say.

I seriously doubt her thinking process sometimes. I'm not some teenage hormonal girl who can only think about her crush all the time. I shake my head in disappointment and reply, "Why do you always think I can only think about him and not anything else?"

After replying, when my eyes automatically move above Amelia's head, I see Andrew is walking towards the main counter which is in the center of the area and attached to the far wall of the room. When he sees me watching him, he just smiles at me sweetly that is enough for a girl to swoon at him. I blush in embarrassment and just smile at him shyly.

Amelia turns her head towards Andrew and watches the whole scenario happening. When she turns her head back towards me, she raises her one eyebrow in challenge again and gives me her 'See' look when Andrew was not looking here anymore.

"That's what I was talking about. That's why I asked you that question. Have you seen your face? You are looking like a tomato, red. I don't know why you always deny the fact of liking him. You always start blushing whenever he even looks in your direction. What do you expect from me to think when you are this obvious?"

I furrow my brows in reply. I'm not obvious. I don't even like him. Okay deep down I know I like him but I don't want him to think that. I don't want anyone to know that like any other girl I also have crush on my boss. The other girls work here is enough display of that type of nonsense. It's not the type of attitude you should have on your work place. I know better that that. I am sensible enough to know where I should cross the mine and where not. And it's the fact that Andrew is my boss and there is a line which I should not cross ever.

"Even if I'm obvious but you should say things like that, Amelia. He is our boss and I can't think about it. The show these extravagant women put on display everyday is enough to teach me the lesson of not thinking of Andrew more than 'The Boss'". I sigh helplessly.

"Why are you thinking like that Julia? The way that whores cling on Andrew and the look of disgust Andrew gives to them is enough proof for me that Andrew is not like the other guys. The appearance doesn't matter for him. He is a good guy, Julie. Give him a chance." ,she says while giving me a small smile.

"I know he is a good guy, Amelia. But I'm not going to do anything about it. My fears are enough to scare me and risking my heart which I have never ever given to anyone for the impossible is just too much for me. I can't handle this. I'm not strong enough for this. I can never be strong for this." I reply with a look of defeat.

"I know you are not confident in yourself. You don't think you are beautiful but if you see through my eyes you are the most beautiful and kind girl I have ever met. Anyone will be lucky to have you, Julie. You should not degrade yourself, ever. And like I said before, anything is possible in this world. Fate has very strange ways to do things, Julie. So have some faith in yourself." She says in an encouraging voice.

I just nod and start eating my lunch. I don't want to continue this conversation. I know she is saying this to just make me feel better about myself but I can't help it. I don't want to tell my negative thoughts to her who is like sunshine, always bright and positive about life. We eat in silence after this. When the lunch time over, we walk back to our respective floors. We say our goodbyes to each other when she walks out of the elevator to her floor. I walk back to my cabin and resume my remaining work for the day.

The clock strikes seven when I look at my watch. It gets very late today. Usually I leave the office at six. Today was very distracting. All the events of today were repeating again and again in my mind like a broken tape recorder. It was not an easy day. All the opinions of Amelia about me and Andrew were just giving me headache. Usually all the employees are gone till six so I just walk out of my cabin carelessly and lock the door. It's dark outside already so I sigh helplessly thinking about walking alone to the bus stand. As I start walking in the hallway, I see a shadow around the corner walking towards this direction.

The whole office is empty. Who is it at this hour? It can't be a serial killer. No one can enter this building. It's highly secured. I shake my head at my naïve thoughts and start panicking a little. When that shadow reaches me I make myself ready to run for my dear life. My heart was beating erratically in my chest when that shadow turned the corner but I sigh in relief when I see the face of that shadow. It was not a serial killer but the one who was all day in my mind and whose face i love to see every day in the morning. Yes, the famous Mr. Andrew Cahill. His surprised expressions are enough to tell me that he didn't expect me here too.

"What are you doing here this late, Julia?" he asks me surprisingly. After thinking about him all day he is here in front of me with a surprised expression and I am here have no voice to even answer him. I remind myself to just control my erratic heartbeat and distracting thoughts and reply him with a small smile, "Oh I just didn't realize the time today while working. So when my work got totally finished, it was already seven. But what are you doing here?"

"Oh I go home daily at this hour. The office is always empty at this time so I was really surprised to see you here", he replies while we walk into the elevator. He presses the button of ground floor and we wait in silence for it to reach the ground floor.

To break the silence Andrew asks me, "So how are you going to go home? Do you have any car or something?" I reply while shrugging, "No I'm just going to catch a bus to home."

His eyes get wide at my answer then he says in a voice full of concern like this morning, "No, it's dark outside and for a girl like you; it's dangerous to walk alone the streets of New York at this hour."

"No, no it's okay. I always go home through a bus. So it's not a big deal. I can manage." I reply defensively.

"No I'm going to drop you home safely. That way I will be relieved to know that you are safe." He says stubbornly.

My heart skips a beat at this statement. I didn't know he care this much about me. Sure we are friends but I didn't expect him to care for a girl like me. I am nobody for him. I thought he has enough important girls in his life to care about. I am not feeling good thinking about other girls in Andrew's life but it is true. So why does he care about me?

I shake my internally to come out of these crazy thoughts and say to Andrew, "Thank you for the concern Andrew. I really appreciate it but I can manage myself. I'm an independent girl so I can go alone. It's not like you are here every day to pick me up or drop me home safely so I can come and go alone today too. Like I said, it's not a big deal."

I didn't realize the meaning of my statement until a second later that I'm giving the idea of picking and dropping me every day to Andrew. But I didn't mean that. I didn't even think before speaking it. It's not good. Andrew's concern face changes into a smug one with his famous boyish smirk which the Metropolitan magazines always talk about.

I try to restrain my blush seeing that Andrew is taking this thing in the direction which I didn't want him to take it. Oh no, it's bad.

"Oh if I get it straight, so you are suggesting me to pick you up and drop you home safely everyday from now on. Huh?"

When I start trying to deny it he quickly says, "I accept it. I will be happy to do that."

I stare openly at him in surprise. I didn't expect that. I certainly did not. I say while shaking my head, "No, no Andrew, I was just joking. I didn't mean that."

His smirk grows in to a real genuine smile when he replies, "I know Julia. But I decide it myself. So it's decided then. From now on, I will pick you up from home and drop you home safely in my car. Okay?"

"No, you don't have to. I can go myself. I was just joking before" I say try to convince him.

"You know very well Julia, I can't hear 'No' for an answer. So it's decided you will with me every day from now on. You don't have a say in this." ,he replies stubbornly in a tone of finality. I sigh in defeat and nod at him.

I know he is stubborn. That stubborn side of him is always visible whenever we sign a deal. He doesn't hear 'No' in anything.

Andrew just grins at me and we walk out of the elevator when the door of elevator opens on the sound of ding. We walk in silence to parking area and climb into Andrew's Black Ferrari which he already knows I'm in love with. It is the result of one of my rants about this car one day when I and Andrew were discussing cars. That's when I told him how much I love this specific car. Then he told me he has this car in his collections and started taunting me how he has this car and not I like a 2 year-old kid. I really pouted like a kid then after hearing that. That's why he is grinning at me like that while driving after asking me about directions to my home.

"I know you know how much I love this car." I say with a smile. Andrew starts laughing loudly the sound of which is very sweet melody like. I start chuckling too. After some minutes, we sit in a comfortable silence.

After almost twenty minutes of driving, Andrew parks his car in front of my building and I climb out of it.

"Good night Julia. Take care. See you tomorrow." ,he says with a smile.

"Good night and thanks for the ride. See you." ,I reply while smiling back.

"No Problem." ,he replies and turns his car around and starts driving back into the direction from where we came towards his apartment.I just wave at the retreating figure of his car in the dark.
