" Mr Augustine, you may sit with " the professor looked around and his eyes landed on Asteria.

" You may sit with Ms Faith, Ms Faith can you please raise your hands "

Asteria’s eyes widened by hearing what professor said. Asteria slightly raised her hands.

Giving the professor a little bow Ian marched towards Asteria’s seat and sat beside her.

" Hi, I am Ian Augustine " Ian offered a handshake.

Asteria looked at him awkwardly and accepted his handshake

" Hello, I'm Asteria Faith " both gave each other a warm smile.

Days and months passed, Asteria and Ian became good friends.

They often hangout together. Ian was new to H-city so the only friends he had were Asteria and Kylie.

Asteria and Ian had little crush on each other from the first they met but both of them were too shy to confess but everything changed one day.

On Casper Hamington's birthday.

Asteria was wearing a beautiful red knee length frock with off shoulder and her messy bun hairstyle makes her ethereal.

Asteria and Kylie were waiting for Ian.

" Didn't your friend arrive yet ? " Casper asked from behind.

" Oh, Mr Hamington. You look so handsome " Kylie complimented him.

" Thank you, Miss Bourgeois " Casper said as looked at Asteria. Asteria was looking outside waiting for Ian.

she didn't even compliment him, thinking about it he felt a little pang in his heart but he shrugged it off. Thinking about Ian, Casper was too curious to see Ian.

" Look Ian arrived "

Kylie excitedly said. Asteria looked at the figure who walked to them.

He was wearing a black shirt with matching black pants. Ian smiled at seeing them, when Asteria saw his smiling green eyes she felt butterflies in her stomach.

" Did you guys wait for me too much, I'm sorry "

Ian apologized and looked at Casper who was looking at him.

" Hi, I am Ian Augustine. Happy birthday to you Mr Hamington. " Ian greeted Casper. Casper forced a smile and said

" thank you Mr Augustine. I have heard a lot about you from Asteria."

"Oh, really?"

Ian looked at Asteria who was mesmerized by Ian. Their eyes met and there was a special feeling in their eyes that they didn't know.

" So, I think all of them are here then how about we cut the cake " Kylie interrupted them.

Casper hummed at Kylie's suggestion.

After the cake cutting Kylie and Asteria were sitting in a corner talking about random things. Ian went outside to attend a phone call and Casper was busy with the guest that his father invited.

Suddenly " Hey, girls. Are you guys alone tonight? Do you guys need any company ? "

Felix Marshall, one of the investors of Hamington group asked them.

" No, thank you "

they rejected him politely.

" Oh come on. You guys are alone and I will accompany you both.

Well, I have my friend with me. Let's have fun tonight. I like this red sexy girl "

Felix said with his dirty smirk and touched Asteria's shoulder.
