Enna Sona [Ziam]

Thirty Three

Zayn looked at Liam who was getting up from his seat, abandoning his work in the middle.

"Where are you going?"

Was Liam tempted ask "tujhse matlab" ? Yes. Will he ask that and annoy Zayn in the morning itself? No.

"The new intern is here. I should go welcome him."

"See! This is why I say you're not good for this job! You should never lower yourself and go meet an intern. They should come to you."

Zayn lectured as if he has been doing this for years. Reality is Zayn himself has never been an intern. He had no idea about any of this. But he loves to contradict Liam.

"This intern is not someone normal, Zayn!"

"This intern is a unicorn, then?"

Zayn snorted at his own joke. Liam sighed. Should he explain or just leave? He's treading on eggshells around Zayn since yesterday. He could tell Zayn wasn't happy about Charlie, and now the new intern is here.. Liam hoped it was someone like Stephen. Zayn was okay with that kid. Probably because he asked for some fashion advice from Zayn, who knows.

"No, Zayn! This intern is Abba's friend's son. So we can't treat him like normal, can we? Or would that be biased?"

Now Liam is confused. So if he treated this guy any different, would Stephen feel bad?

But Zayn didn't hear anything after "Abba."

"Who's friend's son?"

Liam looked at Zayn without understanding what he was asking.

"Huh?"

"No, you said this guy is.. Who's friend's son?"

Oh. Liam blushed.

"Abba's..."

Zayn crossed his arms smirking at Liam. This was not like Liam calling his Ammi by that title. This was different.

"When did my Baba become your Abba?"

When he married Zayn! Duh!

"Um.. Abba asked me to call him that. He wouldn't let me call him Uncle Yasser anymore. And I don't have time, the intern is at the front office. Bye."

Liam ran away before Zayn could make some comment about it. Is it necessary for Zayn to tease him about everything!?

Sure enough, there was a guy who looked about their age standing at the reception chatting up the girl who's face was flushed hearing whatever this guy was saying.

"Hello.."

Liam said catching the guy's attention who now turned to him, gave him a once-over and smirked. The guy had piercing blue eyes and Liam felt no warmth.

"Liam."

Liam said as he extended his hand for the guy to shake. The guy's smirk grew as he grasped Liam's hand, taking longer than necessary to shake it.

"Roman Kemp."
