Now Nicole was subconsciously shivering inside. She couldn't afford to met her eyes with him but she isn't aware about the fact that Alexander is waiting for her reply still now.
"Miss Parker is it ok?" He asked her in the same cold and aloof voice. And like that finally she decided to look at him. And then mustering up her all courage she looked through his eyes and reply slowly, "Yes, master I'm fine with it." She knew she has no other choice but to obey him like an obedient student. But still she saw that he is not looking pleased at all.
What actually has happened with him? she thought. May be some office work.
Then without saying anything he just continued the class. After ending of it he told Nicole to stay back here so that thay can discuss about their project. Nicole's heart started to thumping against her chest very loudly. Nervousness started to make home in her mind. How can she even face this man and that to be now! In between her thoughts she failed to notice that all the students are already started to leave the class.
"Good luck Nick!" Ava suddenly told her near her ear slowly and she got startled and came back to her senses.
"Why did you betrayed me like this Ava? Am I not your bestie? Then how could you?" Nicole asked her showing her disappointment towards her. But Ava didn't mind her words but started to chuckled a bit,
"I know you are not happy at all bestie, but I had no choice." Ava told her. And she didn't replied anything and then he again continued. "You know one secret? That my brother didn't wanted to be my partner but you." When Nicole heard this line from her she got very much surprised and replied her, "Really?" Then Ava replied her "Yes Nick, he didn't want to take your name in front of the whole class so he took my name so that I can reject his offer and then make you his partner and look it exactly happened like what he had planned and the most interesting thing is we both didn't even discussed about this plan and my guess came out to be true. So how can I even thought to dissapoint my brother ? And also deep down you yourself knows very well that you don't have any problem to be with my bro.So just chill ok! Don't forget that you are my bestie and I love you so much and I always wants the best for you. So don't be so much upset on me ok. I know I made the right decision and I'm sure about it that you will thank me later for taking this decision for you!" Ava told her in a reassuring voice while the last part in a teasing voice.
"But Ava we are supposed to be partners and..." Nicole tried to told her but Ava cut her in her mid way and said, " I'm leaving now ok! All the best Nick." With saying that Ava started to leave that place as soon as possible. Ashton already leave the room because he had to attend one call urgently. So he couldn't get any chance to ask Nicole that what's exactly happening between her and Alex. After ending his call he was about to enter the class again but he found Ava at the doorstep holding a teasing smile on her face.
"Why are you smiling like this buddy?" Ashton asked her. She just told him, "Don't go in and disturb them buddy. Come on, let's go. We both also have to discuss about our project."
"But I wants to know what's going on between them?" He asked her getting impatient very badly. Ava started to laugh by hearing out him.
"It's ok buddy, come I will tell you everything but for now don't disturb them." Ava told him and started to drag him away.

INSIDE THE CLASSROOM...
Both are now alone in a big classroom and no one is saying anything. The air inside the room is very thick and it's getting very difficult for her to breath normally. Now Alexander came towards her bench and sat beside her. Nicole didn't even dare to look at him directly. All the time she was keep looking at her fingers which was placed on her lap.
"Miss Parker..." He called her and the moment she heard him calling her name her body got stiffened. She didn't know what to say at that time. Finally gathering up her courage she slightly moved her head towards him to saw his face. When she look through his eyes it's like she got lost in his eyes. At that time he was holding an unknown emotions in his face.
What actually is he thinking right now?
When he finally able to saw her instantly he got mesmerized by her heavenly beauty. What's really happening with him now a days?
After that party Alexander immediately leave the clubhouse and went straight to his personal penthouse. His mind was not in the right state at that time. He cursed himself numerous times that how can he failed to execute his own plan? Nothing is going on according to his plan. Why even in the first place he got jealous? Why why why! He was not ready to admit the fact that he is slowly slowly falling for her. Deep down he knew but afraid to accept this.
He was sitting at the bar counter and continuously drank his favourite wine without any stopping. His mind is only thinking about the one girl and his heart was only screaming the name of the only one person 'Nicole'. Then lost in her thoughts he went to his room and took a shower, wore something comfortable and went to sleep like that while thinking about the same person.
Then the morning came and when he wake up the first thing came in his mind that today he has to to go to the university again and also he has to face her. Then he immediately got ready for the university but he could not understand that how to face her that's why forcefully he tried to hold a very cold expression on his face but deep down he was also very much nervous. He couldn't remember last time when he had faced this nervousness situation. Then he suddenly remembers that Ashton has also returned back from his business trip so it's definitely true that he will want to join the team of Nicole and Ava in that project and if it happens then definitely he will not get to spend his precious time with Nicole so he planned all this and decided that students should do their project in pairs and then only he can able to made her his partner with the help of his sister.
"Master c...can we start our project? It's already getting late." She blurted out suddenly. She couldn't take this anymore, his piercing gaze and silent nature. But suddenly what he did next got shocked her to the core.
He placed his his right hand on her left palm which was still placed on her lap and gently squeezed it as if telling her that it's ok to talk with him normally. When again she looked at his face, this time see saw that he was now holding a very warm expression on his face unlike his previous cold and aloof expression but what he said next to her ear by hearing that she really couldn't believe her own ears and eyes at that time,
"I'm sorry Seraphina!"...
