Zeya splashed water on her face and looked into the mirror. Her face was flushed and her ears were all red.

''What is wrong with me? Do I really like him?'' Zeya sighed. She looked at herself in the mirror and placed her hand on her beating chest.

''Why is my heart beating so fast? Get it together, Zeya. He is not a man you can mess with. He is your boss. Stop having wild thoughts''

Zeya splashed water on her face again and removed a tissue and wiped her face. She turned towards the door and saw Alice.

''Are you alright?'' Alice asked, stepping into the washroom.

''I am fine, what are you doing here?''

''I was worried about you. You spent a lot of time in the washroom so I came to see what was going on''

''Is Sebastian gone?''

''I think so, I heard him making a call. Something about a blind date organized by his family''

''Blind date?'' Zeya asked hesitantly.

''Yes, that is why you should tell him right away if you like him. Don't just bottle things up in your heart. If you tell him how you feel how is he going to know?''

''I can't tell him. He once rejected a woman who confessed her feelings to him. She is the PR in their company and also a family friend. He said they even grew up together''

''He did? Maybe he rejected her because he didn't feel the same way. That has nothing to do with you. Listen to me, I am an outsider so I see things more clearly. Sebastian treats you different''

''That's because I am the brand ambassador for their company. He is trying to be friendly and a gentleman'' Zeya said and they leaned against the sink.

''I doubt that is the only reason. Look, I asked Mikael about Sebastian and he told me that Sebastian doesn't do favors for ladies. He has a rule for every lady and that is he never crosses the line. Contrary to what the internet says, he rejects women bluntly as you saw him do with that PR but you are different. Everyone sees the way he looks at you. Do you think that he waits till midnight everyday to personally take you home because you are just his brand ambassador? No! since we started filming, he has sent you home more than your own driver did. A man wouldn't do such a thing if he didn't feel something special for the woman''

''You think so?''

''I know so, so stop doubting yourself and go for him if he is the one you want''

''What about my past with Lucas. He called me a fool for going out with a man like Lucas''

''That is because he thinks that you deserve better, you deserve someone who will treat you right. Tell me, that kiss just now. Was it really just acting? Don't you think that he did more than just act a kiss scene with you? Everyone felt the chemistry between the two of you. If nobody was watching, trust me it would have turned into an X rated scene. You two were deep in your feelings, I couldn't even tell it was acting''

''That is true. I felt that the kiss was different but that is how it's supposed to be right? We are two people who are passionate about our work''

''Aye, forget it. You are a lost case. You need to face a serious crisis before you wake up and acknowledge your feelings. Maybe if the blind date today succeeds, it will wake you up''

…..

Zeya's house.

''Blind date…?'' Zeya muttered as she sat down on the dining table with a glass of warm milk. She sipped the milk and pouted her lips.

''He didn't even call me. Did his blind date succeed?'' Zeya stood up and went to take her phone at the hall. She looked at it.

''It's past 10:00PM, Zeya what is wrong with you? Do you want to wake up with puffy eyes?'' she shook her head and gulped down all the milk.

''Let's go to bed, it's late already''

…..

Zeya pushed the brush in her mouth gently back and forth as she looked at her phone. She had logged into her moments and was checking Sebastian's profile.

''He hasn't made a post since leaving for the blind date. I wonder what he is doing. Why hasn't he posted anything yet? He always keeps his fans informed about what he is doing''

Zeya decided to check his fan page and indeed there was a post there that he had made a few minutes ago.

'Had the best day of my life today. I finally found out she is really the one for me'

Zeya's face turned red as she looked at the post. ''He just said he finally found the one. Does it mean he finally met the one at the blind date?''

''How can he fall in love at first sight like that so fast? Is that how it's supposed to be? What about getting to know each other? What about giving yourselves time to know the other person? Am I the only one who thinks that it's wrong to fall for someone at first sight? How can he just tell she is the one after meeting her for the first time?''

''Annoying!'' Zeya turned on the tap and washed her mouth. She washed the brush and put it away before leaving the bathroom.

…..

''Annoying! This is so annoying!'' Zeya sat up on the bed and muttered. ''If he was going to fall for someone so fast, then why did he act like he was interested in me? Why did he lead me on and made me think that he somewhat liked me?''

Zeya stretched her hand and picked her phone from the table, she logged into his fan page and started reading the comments under the post.

''Whoa! My idol is finally in love. I wonder who the lucky lady is?' one fan said.

''Somebody pinched me. My idol just announced he found the one'

''My idol, can you tell us who she is? Is she someone also in the same industry?'

''As long as that person isn't Zeya Sher''

"..."

''What? As long as that person isn't me? What doesn't this person mean by such a comment?'' Zeya looked at the comment feeling frustrated and furious.

''Zeya is an opportunist, I don't like her' the same fan added again.

Zeya couldn't stand after seeing such a comment again. She wondered what she did to that person for them to not like her. It was fine if that person didn't like her, but did that person have to say such nasty things on the internet?

Zeya started typing a message, ''fine, if no one fights for me, I will fight for myself''

After typing a full page of insults, she was about to send it when she noticed that someone had kicked out and even blocked the user who insulted her.

''Oo, this….'' Zeya paused and looked at the person who did that. That was no other person than Sebastian. He was the one who kicked out and even blocked that user.

''Did… did he just fight for me?'' Zeya asked herself. She suddenly felt excited and was about to delete the message but mistakenly sent it… that too, to the wrong person. Sebastian!

''This… this… what have you done? What have I done? Zeya, have you gone crazy?'' She tried to delete the message but realized it was marked with two blue marks meaning the other person had seen the message already. It couldn't be deleted anymore.

''Aye…'' Zeya bit her lips and looked at the phone. Her eyes widened when she saw the other person typing.

''He is typing. What does he want to say?'' Zeya got down from the bed and paced around in the room, biting her nails as she looked at the phone.

Ding!

Zeya looked at the message and stood, puzzled by the message. It was a single emoji. A puzzled question mark emoji.

''That's all? I thought he was typing something long, why did it suddenly turn into a simple emoji?'' Zeya frowned. 'Is he mocking me?''

Zeya shook her head and froze when the phone in her hand started ringing. She looked at it and flushed.

''He is calling me? Why? Why is he calling me? I sent a text, if you want to talk, then text back why are you calling me?''

Zeya looked at the call until it ended. Then a message popped up.

''Answer the call. I know you are not sleeping'

Zeya frowned. ''How does he know I am not sleeping? Does this man have superpowers?''

The phone started ringing again. This time Zeya answered but she started with a yawn.

''He… hello'' her voice sounded like someone who was woken up from her sleep.

''Cut it out. I know you are not sleeping'' Sebastian said and Zeya rolled her eyes.

''That message wasn't for you. I sent it by mistake'' Zeya quickly explained.
