Black Silk

CHAPTER 11

NADIA'S POV

"I should go" I said opening the door to get out but he quickly locked it. "What are you doing? Open it please I have to go..." I insisted looking at him again.

"You don't have to"

"What do you mean, I have to get to work Raheem open the door."

"Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn-"
Someone knocked on his window to get his attention cutting him off from what he was about to say. He looked at the person annoyed then looked at me "don't go anywhere" then unlocked the door to talk to him.

"Yes, what is it??" He grunted.

I realised he had unlocked the doors so I took this chance and got out and walked towards the lift. Once I reached the lift and the doors were closing I realised I left my hot chocolate in the car and I was really enjoying it, I couldn't exactly leave it to go to waste.

"Hey can you bring my hot chocolate when you're coming up" I asked over the phone.

"Why'd you run off?"

"Thanks ok bye" I hung up on him. I didn't feel like answering any of his questions, he was right I did feel something in that brief moment but I didn't want to acknowledge it, I didn't want to feel anything for him, just yet.

When I got to my office ( I'm still getting used to the thought of having it, when this is all over and done with I don't think I'm gonna want my old job back) I saw Malik waiting there he probably wanted to talk to me but just wanted him to go away before Raheem gets here and sees him talking to me.

"Hey, what's up" I chimed and his head shot up to look at me from looking down at his phone.

"Oh hey nothing much just wanted to check in"

"Okay umm walk with me?" I said trying to lead him out of sight.

"Okay.....So I see you've had an upgrade"

"Yea no, it was kinda last minute" I mumbled

"I'm happy for you, so what to you think of the big boss?" He asked

"Hmm I don't know yet I'll have to spend more time around him but I'll let you know" I replied honestly, and my cheeks turned red just thinking about him, but I didn't want to talk about him especially with Malik.

"I heard about the meeting in Paris, your going right?"

"Yea I am, it's tomorrow and I haven't even packed yet Ugh" he looked at me and chuckled.

"Well hope you have a good time and don't overwork yourself, I gotta go but we'll catch up later"

"Okay later" I replied turning to walk back to my office. I got to my office and found Raheem sitting in my chair "Sit" he said, so I sat in the opposite chair after taking my drink from him.

"Thank you...so what's on the schedule for today?"

"Why did you leave?" He asked completely ignoring my question.

"I came up here... to work..."

"You know what I'm talking about Rose" he said with no emotion, I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or if he was getting angry at me...

"I don't enlighten me" I said sarcastically I don't think he likes my humour.

He got up out of the chair walked round and sat on the edge of the table in front or me, I sat back in my chair as he moved closer. "Don't be smart with me Nadia just answer my question" he said in just above a whisper an unpleasant tone I wasn't used to.
