13. She's not easy to bully

'Cause we're young and
we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Rosa's anger mounted with every step.
When she reached the lobby, Taahir was gone; not even his car was there. Only Nadir waited for her by the hospital entrance.

"Where's Taahir?" Rosa asked the assistant.

Nadir answered respectfully, "CEO had an important business meeting to attend so he had to leave first. He left me behind to wait for Ms. Khan. Don't worry, Ms. Khan, I've asked for a driver, your ride will be here soon."

"He left?" Rosa asked incredulously.

"Yes." Nadir nodded.

The smile she prepared for Taahir disappeared instantly. Taahir is not only forwent their lunch, he had the heart to leave her alone at the hospital without informing her beforehand!

Rosa intended to share with him the grief she had suffered under Tahera's hands but he had left her behind! She wondered if she even had a place in his heart. Wasn't he even a tiny bit interested in the act of kindness that she intended to provide to Tahera?

Rosa gritted her teeth because her plan had completely unraveled. She returned to Tahera to accomplish two purposes, one was to grind her confidence to the floor and another was to demonstrate to Taahir her grace and kindness.

But... Tahera had proved more resilient than she thought and now Taahir had left. If she couldn't show off her grace to Taahir then what was the point in her going back to Tahera? Other than that, she wanted to complain to him about how badly Tahera had treated her kindness.

Based on Taahir's personality, if he knew she held on to this grudge, it would only worsen her image in his eyes. He didn't like people who held on to old grievances. Her only brief window to slander Tahera in his eyes was now.

Alas, the man had already left. She couldn't possibly call him just to complain about Tahera. It wouldn't help her cultivate a positive image. However, if she missed this chance, she wouldn't be unable to bring it up again. In other words, her plan had completely backfired.

Or had it... She sneaked a sidelong glance at Nadir who stood beside her and her eyes welled up with tears.

Nadir became flustered seeing her cry and said hurriedly, "Ms. Khan, what's wrong? CEO really didn't leave you here on purpose, he had something important to attend to. Please don't be sad..."

Rosa rubbed away her tears and forced a smile, adding, "This has nothing to do with Taahir. It's all my fault for forgetting how prideful Tahera can be. I should have known it would be difficult for her to stomach her pride and accept my help. Who can I blame but myself for being too insensitive..."

"Ms. Khan, what are you talking about?" Nadir questioned.

"It's nothing. I too have something important to catch, thank you for waiting for me," Rosa said before turning to leave. She remembered to purposely wipe away the tears that fell down her face.

No matter how hard Nadir called after her, she made sure she didn't turn around. Nadir watched helplessly as she hailed a cab and left. He returned to report to Taahir.

Taahir didn't actually have an important meeting even though he returned to the office early. He was maddened by Tahera's behavior so he didn't want to stay at the hospital.

Reclining in his chair, he removed the top button of his shirt as his thoughts returned to the moment Tahera tore up the cheque before his eyes.

A cheque for one hundred million, and she tore up it without even batting an eye. Is she really that principled or did she do it to piss him off?
