Don't be in a rush. Take things in your stride, one day at a time. It's easy to be overwhelmed by what's going on around you. Don't overthink and worry about the nitty gritty. Do your best. Remember, the Almighty is in full control. He will protect you. You will see better days.

Recap
"I heard noises from this room and it was opened while I was passing... that's how I found you" Nasir chuckled

"You will pay for what you did" Salma gritted her teeth.

"Don't you want such a handsome dude, like me?" Nasir laughed out loud when he saw her expression

"You'll get uglier if you do that" Nasir looked down and smiled curtly

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
Third Person's POV
Salma and Nasir left the girl's room together but when they reached the elevator, Salma told him to go alone.

"Why should I?" Nasir asked her

"So, another scene be created? No, thank you" She looked ahead of him while he just smiled

"The reason I told that girl we are a couple is because they won't leave your life alone if they found out we weren't"

"How? What do you mean?" She raised her eyebrow

"The hug...duuhhhh"

"Hahaha...wait...what?" Salma laughed out loud and quickly composed herself when she got the message

"I know these people and you don't" with that he left and she joined the dinner party after 10 minutes.

"I love your dress" a random girl complimented Salma

"Thank you" she uncomfortably answered

"Who's Salma Ahmad please? Can I get her attention please" A middle aged man in a plain clothes asked the security personnel at the door

"Any problem?" Jackson asked him

"There's a package for her from..."

"Fuck!, give me..."

"Here I am, I'm Salma Ahmad" Salma smiled at the man

"Shit!" Jackson hit a table with his leg

"Any problem, Jackson?" Salma looked at him

"All is well...all is well" he walked backwards and left while Salma signed and collected her package with curiousness

"Hi Nas...the package arrived and Salma has already collected it" Jackson bent over and spoke to Nasir in his ear.

"Told you guys it was a bad idea but you didn't listen to meeeee" Hammad sipped irritatingly from a cup.

"Duuddddeee?!" Jackson raised his hands

"This is from Aunt Zee??" Salma murmured in surprise

"Hi Aunt Zee, u sent two packages?" Salma asked

"Nahh, I sent one, hope it wasn't late" Zainab calmly spoke through the phone

"One? Not two?" Salma asked again to confirm

"Yeahh, just one ma'am" Zainab chuckled

"Okay" Dalmsy lightly laughed and ended the call

"Can you believe something?" Salma quietly spoke to Hammad when she went back to their table. Each table has four seats. Her voice was laced with unbelief and surprise.

"What?" Hammad asked with the same energy she emitted although he knows exactly what she wanted to talk about. Jackson and Nasir narrowed their eyes.
