He definitely is attracted to her. I don't think its love per say but lets say he is fascinated by her, by his interactions with her, she is probably the only girl who is going toe to toe with him in her interactions and not simping over him. Like I said in a much earlier episode, he offered to help her when there was absolutely no need, infact from what we have seen with him, he does not go out of his way even for people he knows well let alone some random acquaitance. By her constant sparring with him, she has intrigued him on some level.
