Seeing that Alex walking towards Avery, the students started squabbling.

"Look! Where President Alex is going?" Said, one senior female student.

"I think Sir is going towards Avery." Said her friend.

And her name was Ester

"And why do you think about this?" Said Ester's friend.

"To talk to her. Didn't you see in the fresher's party how beautiful President Sir and Avery were dancing?" Said, Ester.

"Yeah, I saw it. But what does that thing have to related to this thing?"

"Because I think Sir likes her."

"Not possible."

"But why?"

"Because my cousin is in her class and he said that the President sir hates Avery the most. The president leaves no chance to insult her."

"Yeah, I agree with you. And just because the President sir danced with her doesn't mean he likes her. The whole college knows that Clara is the President's girlfriend. My sister is also in her class and she was saying the same thing as your cousin." Said Ester's second friend.

"But where there is hate, there is love," Ester said while looking at Alex.

Ester belonged to a prestigious family. Her father was working on a high position in the ELIZA Group. Ester knew almost all the members of Hill family very closely and she considered Alex as her ideal person.

Ester was Avery's senior and she was sitting behind Violet's table with her friends. Violet was eavesdropping their whole conversation. She became happy when she heard Ester's friend but she turned red with anger when she heard Ester's last words.

Now there was only a short distance left between Avery and Alex.

"Ahh..." Suddenly something came between Avery's legs and the food tray in her hands bounced in the air, before she could take care of herself, she lost her balance and her body started falling. At that moment, there was only one fear came in her eye. And that was about her unborn child.

She placed both hands on her belly in no time and prayed to God to keep her child safe. And just her body was about to hit to the ground, two strong hands catches her and took her load on himself.

There was still fear in her closed eyes for her unborn child and was in the arms of strong-willed man. She didn't take a moment to recognize that person's familiar scent as she took his name. "Alex!" She unknowingly placed one of her hands on his hand which was on her stomach and another placed it on his chest and clenched his coat. Her long and silky hair, which was loose, bounced from their place and stuck in the thin beard on his cheek. This way her hair hid his half face.

What would have happened if Alex hadn't caught her. with that thought she gasped for air and her body began to tremble. Those present in the canteen had seen it all with their own eyes. They had seen how Avery had lost her balance. How her food tray was thrown into the air and came towards Alex. How did Alex save himself from that falling food tray?

Some of them thought that Avery had done it all on purpose, while others thought it was an accident. But for both sides, they were all waiting for Alex's reaction. What will happen to Avery later? The thought caused some students to feel cold sweat on their heads.

But Ester was one of those students who found it all very romantic and she started clicking photos of the two of them. She hid her mobile in the book and clicked all the photos so that no one could see when she clicked the photo.

When Alex felt Avery's trembling body in his arms, he immediately whispered in her ear. "Everything is fine now! Don't be afraid! I am here my love!" He said it all in a very subtle voice that only she could hear, and noticing everyone's presence, he took her away from himself. Avery had slipped out of his arms but still, her hand was on his chest and she was standing next to him. Her head was down and she didn't dare to face him.

All one was now waiting for Alex to say something but to their surprise he said nothing to her and left from there. He went towards canteen manager. "Clean up all that mess and don't dare say a word to her." He said in a very cold and dominating tone and then went into the canteen's kitchen. Avery was still standing there, staring at the food on the floor.

Moments later, Raina, Emily, and David approached her. Raina put her hand on Avery's shoulder and took her away with them. Because all this was happening in the canteen, the students did not know that their favourite professor was present in the canteen and was watching all from the beginning. The way Alex saved Avery from falling, Lucas had clenched his fists and there was a terrible rage on his face.

Lucas didn't like the way Alex saved Avery from falling. There could have been another way to save her from falling, in his sight in which Alex would not have had to touch her so closely. Then he walked away in anger.

But there was still a person who was looking at the place where Avery was with wide eyes. She had a hand behind Avery's sudden fall. It was because of her that Avery suddenly fell and that person was none other than Violet. The purpose for which Violet did it was not fulfilled. Her plan had failed.

She had so cleverly stumbled upon Avery's feet that no one noticed. Not even Alex couldn't notice Violet's trick due to the sight on Avery.

.....

The three girlfriends were sitting at their favourite place with David. Avery's hand was on her stomach and she was still nervous. Seeing her so nervous, David couldn't help but ask her. "Avery! You are safe now. Nothing happened to you. President Alex saved you on time. So now change the expression on your face and give a sweet smile." But still, she was not affected so David tried to do something different to encourage her.
