HAJRA POV
After a few minutes of driving, we were finally at the company's resort . Zarah pulled over at the parking lot meant for the contestant and judges and all vip invites. Just as we step out of the car , I gave a glance at the decor of the place . WOW was just all I could exclaimed
"Wow they really spent lot of money in this" Zarah said
"They sure did" I answered.

The entrance was beautifully decorated with beautiful night bulbs. As we move further towards the hall, we could hear some slow jazz music playing in the background. Guest were filled in the hall, some were non Nigerians but mostly the guest were Nigerian.

We were standing in the hall when we heard a voice behind us
"Assalamu alaikum"it's was Muhammad nazir contestant no 4.
"Wa alaikum mussalam" we both answered
" I'm Muhammad by name though it wasn't necessary to introduce myself as we all knew each other's name" he joked and I smiled at him

"Yeah I'm HAJRA and she's Zarah" I answered and he smiled at both of us
"You girls are looking masha Allah" he complimented
"You don't look bad yourself" I replied with a smile on my face.  No doubt he looks handsome in his black armaan suit with a matching gold tie.

"Come this way please, take a seat" he guide us towards a table as we all sat down .
"Why is your friend silent" he asked glancing towards Zarah .
(Sneak peek: I noticed he was staring at Zarah for a long time since after the first round and I felt he's smitten for her )

I glanced towards Zarah but the girl is on her phone giving the poor guy attitude .
"Could you tell your new friend I'm not interested" she sassed
"Wow you're a fierce one I like it" he smirked as she glared at him while I smiled at both of them

We were talking and suddenly spoke through the mic.
"Hello ladies and gentlemens, I welcome you all to our 10th annual National Arts gallery competition. Thank you to each and everyone of you for being here with us tonight. We are very pleased to be able to welcome those that has been with us for a long time and now , as well to those who are new here". It was judge James who was also dressed in thesame outfit as Muhammad
Wait is that the dress code for tonight event I thought before I glanced around and room and I got my answer yes it is

"I would like give a huge  appreciation to our top 5 competitors, you guys were great artists and also tighten your belts for the next and final round" he continues

"I would like to call our chief of guests to the vip table please" miss Norah said with a smile on her face
" The owner of the arts gallery please ladies and gentlemen welcome Mr Christian Grey " she yelled through the mic as the hall was filled with applause

I glanced towards this Mr Christian Grey and wow this guy looks incredibly handsome and I'm surprised is not a Nigerian that explains the non Nigerian guest . The paparazzi are already on their jobs taking pictures of this young man.

" And now please put your hands together for his co partner and his lovely wife Mrs Angelina Grey" she smiled and sat beside him she was beautiful as well

"The next guest is the company's managing director ALHAJI YUSUF TAMBUWAL here with his beautiful wife, HAJIYA JAMILA TAMBUWAL" and the crowds applauded again

"The last but not the least on the vip guest is......." Miss Norah tease
"Hey don't stress the guest just tell them and I'm eager also" mr ibrahim glared at her jokingly as the crowd laughed at the duo

"The 50-50 partner of this establishment who is none other than your famous eligible bachelor ......"
" okay since you are eager let's say it together" she smiled . Even I was eager to know this person as I looked towards Zarah and thesame expression on her face

"IMRAAN SIDDIQUE" they both yelled and I felt my world stopped moving at that moment. What the hell is going on here, I thought . I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw he was a judge earlier and now he owns 50% of this company . This is too much to take in.
