Chapter 02— A moment with him.

Austin is talking with a doctor about Jenny's mother.

   "What is her condition, doctor?" He asked while crossing his leg over another.

   "She has a brain tumor, and this kind of patient needs surgery, but the patient's daughter said that she needs some time to settle the money for the surgery." He explained everything in one breath while turning his attention toward the computer on the table in front of him.

   "The patient has been doing well in the morning with the help of medicines, but now her condition has become critical." The doctor said this while checking the CT scan.

    "What are the chances to save the patient?" Austin inquires while rubbing his thumb on his forehead.

   "Yes, the patient has a high chance of survival, but we need to operate on her within two days; otherwise, the complications will take over in her body." The doctor looked at Austin.

Austin nodded his head in response while thinking about things.

    "What is the cost of the surgery?" Austin looked at the doctor.

   "4 million dollar!" The doctor said.

    "Alright, prepare for the surgery." He muttered while standing up and fixing his coat with his hands.

   "I will clear the payment by today; I want you to keep the surgery as a priority." Austin said this while taking his phone out and calling some numbers.

      "Of course, I will definitely update you about the time and date of surgery as soon as you complete the formalities." Austin nodded his head and the doctor handshake with him.

Austin comes out, shuts the door behind him, and makes his way straight to the ICU room.

He looks at Jenny through the window; she is holding her mother's hand and crying like a baby.

Jenny's mother didn't come into consciousness yet, but Jenny is talking with her and sharing her feelings.

Austin cleared his throat before knocking on the window and grabbing her attention.

Jenny looked at him, and he opened the door, stepping inside.

   "Can I have a word with you?" He sounded, rolling his eyes at Jenny's mother.

Both of them come out, and Jenny is looking down at the floor—the tears are rolling in her eyes, but she doesn't want to show her weak side to Austin.

He rolled his fingers through his hair while his body straightened up and his biceps moved as he rolled his hand.

   "Why didn't you tell me?" He looked at her, placing his hand on his waist.

She rolled her eyes and looked at him in response—he is taller than her, and his broad shoulders are covering her presence.

    "I didn't want to take money from my workplace—you have always given me a bonus along with my salary, and sometimes you paid more than my work." She muttered while breaking the silence and pressing her hands together, avoiding eye contact with him.

He sighed at her way of thinking—he is alike; you can't be a decent person in such a problematic condition.

    "How are you planning to pay?" He asked.

   "I am trying to arrange money through my friends."

   "Do you think you have enough time?" He questioned her. 

No, she knew that she didn't have enough time.

She has to save her mother, and she is giving her best, but time is not supporting her.

She does not have any family members or relatives who can support her financially—the time is ticking and running fast.

    "The doctor said, your mother will have to operate in two days to save her life otherwise it will be tough to save her. " He revealed the piece of information, pressing his nose.

The tears start dropping from Jenny's eyes in response—she is not looking at Austin but pressing her hands and trying to think of something.

She can't lose her mother, yes.

Her breath hitches in her throat as he takes her chin with his one calloused hand and gently lifts her head, making her look at him.

The goosebumps are rising over her body, making her shiver in response as soon as his warm finger touches her skin.

A pleasurable sigh escaped from her mouth as his green eyes captured her sight.

Damn, he is so handsome with a beard and messy hair—he was wearing a white shirt that was fitted against his biceps, showing his muscles.

   "Let me help you." He muttered, bending down and bringing her close to him.

    "I will help you with your mother's surgery." He blinked his eyes.

    "But!" She wanted to say something back, but he placed his finger on her lips, shutting her mouth.

    "Shut up!" He sounded so sexy, almost making her jump in excitement.

  "Nothing will happen to your mother; we will save her. Don't worry about her." His encouraging words brought peace to her heart.

   "You are fighting alone all the time, but now I am with you—I will help you."

He rolled his thumb on her cheek while wiping her tears.

    "Moreover, saving your mother is our priority right now." He showed his finger.

She feels strong and confident with his words and presence—no one has supported her to date like this except her mother.

Jenny is now very happy, watching the care and concern in his eyes toward her.

   "First, let your mother have surgery, then we will talk about our issues." He grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him, not giving her a chance to refuse his offer anymore.

She can't help but look at him with a mixture of feelings—there are tears in her eyes and a smile arousing on her lips.

He pressed the elevator button, and the door opened after ten seconds.

Austin takes Jenny inside, and the doors close behind them.

She is standing behind him, staring at him—there is no one in the elevator except both of them.

She can't believe that she is standing so close to her boss—she is feeling so good that he was helping her even though she didn't tell him about her decision on the marriage offer.

The elevator doors opened as soon as they reached the next block.

A bunch of people enter the elevator, reducing the gap between them.

Now, Austin is standing beside Jenny, and when his shoulder touches hers, her eyes widen and her body shivers.

He is Austin William, the taste of every girl—handsome and smart.

He is holding his suit in his hand; his chest is rising and falling as he is taking breaths.

The doors open again as soon as the elevator reaches the next floor.

The nurse brings the patient inside—who is sitting in a wheelchair—and another security team gets inside with some boxes.

Now the small space is crammed—there is no space around it.

The strangers start pressing against Jenny; she feels uncomfortable.

He looked at her while watching her try to move.

When a random man is about to hit Jenny, Austin comes in front of her, caging her into his arms and placing his hands on either of her sides.

She looked at him with wide eyes.

They make cute eye contact while looking at each other for the first time.

Everyone started disappearing in front of Jenny's sight—she couldn't see anyone but her handsome boss, Austin William.

The truth is, no one knew other than her inner feelings—yes, Austin William is her crush and teenage love.

The very first time she met him, she fell for him—in short, he is her secret love.

He is an intelligent, smart, and handsome man.

Today, Austin William offered to marry him.

She is literally on the moon because he is a dream man for every girl—she would love to marry him and become the mother of his child, but she doesn't want to rush things.

As the people push each other, their bodies end up pressing against each other.

He is hell-close to her—she can smell his scent of presence.

He smells so nice, with a light milky fragrance.

He is trying his best not to press his body against her, but the people are just so harsh.

Moreover, there are some patients on the wheels, which take up more space.

There is zero distance between Austin and Jenny.

His belt is poking against her hips, making her feel thirsty.

His muscular chest is touching her boobs, and it feels like electricity running through her body. Sure, he can feel the warmth and size of her, and his breath increases when he feels her nipple arousing his skin.

The position is like this: she is standing between his legs.

She is shy even to move, but the feeling is heaven.

The radiation from his body is spreading through her body, and she feels the warmth of his body.

She can feel her body burning inside.

    "Why did you decide to pay for my mother's surgery?" Jenny muttered while licking her lower lip, which grabbed his attention and made him roll his eyes at her pinkish eyes.

    "What?" Austin sounded.

She was standing behind everyone, almost pinning themselves against the door.

     "I can't give you anything in return, boss." She looked into his eyes.

     "Moreover, I haven't decided anything about the marriage offer." She lowered her head and said

He rolled his eyes while straightening up his body and pressing her with his broad shoulders.

There are many girls who are hitting on him and who want to be his girlfriend, and here he is proposing to her for marriage, but she is still thinking about his offer.

He is impressed with her somewhere with the thought that she doesn't care about money and fame but people.

    "I don't help everyone!" He chuckled—haha, she knew it as well.

He is a billionaire but doesn't like to spend money.

He invests money in somebody who is only worthy.

   "You are the babysitters for my twins."

    "There were many babysitters before you whom I fired because they only cared about dollars but didn't care about my kids." He muttered, rubbing his thumb on his forehead.

     "But you are different." He looked into her eyes.

     "You were with my kids all the time, even in my absence." 

    "You picked up and dropped off my kids from school and help them with their homework as well."

    "You feed them, and moreover, you are with them all the time when they are alone!" He removed some of the hair on her face, interlocking it behind her ear. 

   "You definitely deserve my help." A smile appeared on Jenny's face.

    "You changed my kid's lives!" Austin patted his hand on her head while making her feel amazing.

This is the first time he has given her some compliments in the past two years.

She doesn't know Austin has such good opinions of her.

Soon, Austin paid the surgery fee, and Jenny cleared all of the formalities.

When Austin and Jenny went back to the ICU, Jenny's mother had already come into consciousness.

Now, she is playing with her mother; hehe, to say, Jenny is hugging and kissing her while talking with her.

    "Are you sure, baby?" Jenny's mother grabbed her attention.

"How can you arrange the million dollars money for my surgery at the one time?" There is a concern in her eyes.

     "Do not worry!" Jenny cupped her face.

     "My boss is helping me with your surgery!" She smiled at the end, remembering Austin.

    "Your boss!" Jenny's mother sounded.

     "Yes, you are gonna be fine!" But yet there was concern rolling in Jenny's mother's eyes for some reason.

   "Oh, Mommy, I love you!" Jenny roared while tickling her mother and making her laugh.

    "Stop, baby." The mother chuckled.

On the other hand, Austin is looking at them through the window.

He is just watching Jenny and her cute behavior.

The way she is looking after her mother gives him pause—she can definitely become the best mother for his children.

   "Indeed, SHE IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR ME." He grinned, but it didn't last long when he remembered someone.

    "WILL HE ACCEPT JENNY?"

    "I can't marry her if he can't approve the marriage." Austin sighed, and now he is looking damn cute.

To Be continued.
