Chapter 54

"Oh crap." She heard him mutter as he went through his phone. They were already out of the school and on their way to daddy's house. She turned her head to his way. "What's wrong?" She asked him, eyes still glued to his side burn. "I am needed at the office right now. I am sorry but we have to go now." He took a left turn and stepped on the gas. "I hope it's not something bad." She tilted her head as she spoke this time. He smiled and shook his head. "I have to go through a contract that needs to be signed tonight or I lose the deal." She nodded her head and looked away. Few minutes drive later, they stepped out of the the and headed towards the entrance. "Bring out the other one and make sure it's cleaned before I am out." He handed the car keys to one of the securities out waiting for his arrival. They headed in as he nodded, acknowledging their greetings. "Sir I've set everything at the forth hall, we are just waiting for you." Anwar explained after he had greeted him. "Yes, yes, I will be in there in few minutes. I need to get something in my office." He walks ahead of him as dalia tailed behind. They entered the elevator which took them to the first floor as Muhsin pressed. It dinged opened to his office. Everything was there as she last saw it. "Isn't this office too big for you? Like don't you get bored?" She couldn't help but ask as she looked around as if it was her first time coming. "Would you like to visit me and keep me company if I told you I was bored?" He asked the silly question as he walked over to his desk. He opened the drawer and brought out some papers before he read through it. He closed the drawer and walked over to her. "I can't do that. You know I have school." She retorted with a little smile. "And I sometimes work during the weekends too. Now make yourself comfortable. I have a coffee machine that you can help yourself with, that's if you take coffee. And you can call the receptionist using that buttons there if you need anything." He pointed at the buttons on the wall his receptionist once showed her. "I will be back in less than thirty minutes or so." He walked to the glass door which slides open. He disappeared into the elevator without a back glance. She collapsed on the soft sofa with a sigh. Before she could move again, she heard a noise from the door. She sat upright to see him. "The Tv remote is on my desk." He flashed her a smile before he left again. She smiled and shook her head. He came back just to tell her about the tv remote? He's.... Incomparable, she mused. She turned on the tv and laid down on the soft sofa as she flipped through the channels. She kept the remote on the large rectangular wooden table and focused on watching as she tried so hard not to drool over his picture right above the TV. Her eyes kept wondering off to the picture and every time she looked, her heart throbbed against her chest. Why was that? She hissed softly and closed her eyes instead. When her thoughts turned into nonsense, and all more interesting for it, she knew she was falling asleep. Now all she had to do was let go, and she did. He tapped the sofa several times before she finally jerked her eyes opened. "Was I gone for too long? If I could remember I left here exactly thirty four minutes ago." He smiled at her as he talked. She rubbed the back of her neck. "Your sofa is so soft and I couldn't help it," she mouthed as she got off it. "You can come here whenever you want and sleep on it." He grinned from ear to ear. He looked away and charged towards the table before he took the remote and turned the tv off. "Lets go." He led the way out. They stepped outside, the chilly air hitting them like a wall, instantly sobering them up. She looked back at the building, looming over the bright parking lot  as if the sun hadn't set an hour ago. They entered a different car and zoned of the site. He dropped her off at home before he left to his whereabouts. She entered the house and went to mommy's room to greet her before she headed to her room. She had her bath and prayed maghrib before she laid on her bed to rest before isha. Just few minutes after she had prayed Isha, her phone started ringing from her bag. She heaved a sigh, she always forgets she had a phone now. She was still not used to it, especially when mommy had no idea about it. She hopped on her bed as she answered the call. "I hope you are not already asleep." She simpered and exhaled. "No not yet, I had a short nap in your office before you interrupted it, remember?" She spoke with a hint of joke. "I'm sorry I woke you up but I had to. Okay, next time I won't wake you up, I'll just carry you to the car and take you home." She gasped as she covered her mouth. "You can't carry me. Do you know how much I weigh?" he hears her giggle at the end. He heaved a sigh, he thought she wouldn't get the joke. "Highest fifty, I am sure of that." "Hah! I weigh fifty one, you got it wrong." She chuckled happily. "Well what's the difference, madam? I can still carry you either ways." "Whatever you'll say, you cannot carry me cause I'm heavy and I would be much more heavier when I'm asleep." He threw his head back laughing. "Okay, we shall see. I'll prove you wrong about this."
