CHAPTER 24

"Calm down Calista,I am not eating you up,I only asked you to have lunch with me because I like you or should I say I am in love with you and I want to get to know more about the lady that has won my heart",Xander said when he saw Calista looking scared and nervous.

"Is it that obvious ?",Calista asked,

Yes,very obvious and if people look over here they will think I kidnapped you and brought you here forcefully,Xander said jokingly.

"I am sorry I just wasn't expecting you to take a liking to me,and with the phone incident that happened I was worried that I would be sent to the prison even before I can finish my internship and start working,now that I know I am not going to jail,I can finally sleep well",Calista said.

When she saw that Xander was looking at her with a questioning look,It is nothing serious,I have just been having weird dreams that you brought the police to arrest me,she continued. Xander couldn't control himself and he laughed out loud,when he looked back at Calista,her mouth was wide open.

"What ? he asked ,I didn't know you can laugh,I mean I have never seen you laughing,you are always having this serious look on your face,Calista replied.

"That is not true,I laugh a lot whenever I am with people I love,you can't expect me to be laughing without any reason to,unless you wanted me to be on the next news headline,Xander replied back.

The atmosphere got a little better and Calista told him about herself,how her parents had died in an accident and she was brought up in an orphanage, because she was brilliant,she was given a scholarship and with that scholarship she was able to finish her education and how her dream to become a doctor was almost coming true.

From her talks,Xander was able to guess that she was one of the beneficiaries of the scholarship foundation his parents owned and at a point he was thankful to his parents because their good deeds had actually helped a lot of people become great people in the society.

They talked about their likes and dislikes,movies and other things and at the end of the lunch Xander had known almost everything about Calista,when it was time to go,he didn't even want her to leave.

He wanted to see her the next day as well but she told him she was going to volunteer in the orphanage where she was brought up,Xander asked to go with her,which she agreed.

They left the restaurant and drove straight to the hospital,Xander took her phone and saved his number there,he returned the phone to her,she took it and was about to thank him for the meal but an emergency came up,she had to rush and join the emergency team to push the patients inside and prepare them for treatment.

Xander stood there looking at how compassionate and hardworking she was,trying to console the patients family and also giving them hope,he knew he was right about how he felt about calista,he was in love and he knew she also had feelings for him.

His assistant called to remind him of the meeting he had ,he got into the car and the driver drove off.
