Forever Intertwined (A Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22

“Sorry for almost blowing our cover.” Liz says when we get back to the workroom.

“It’s ok.” I say.

“Maybe you should tell him.” Liz says almost inaudibly.

“Yeah, maybe.” I say.

“Especially since all he would have to do is look it up. Not to mention we’re bound to be recognized.” Liz says. I’m just about to respond when someone else does instead.

“Of course. No one can forget your ugly faces.” Jasmine says, walking in with Vita. Oh great, it’s Vita’s henchman. Well technically, Jasmine is Vita’s best friend. She doesn’t work here, but she visits Vita constantly. They are alike in so many ways. The funniest part is that they backstab each other all the time, but never fight. They just talk about each other behind their backs.

“Do you have mail for us, Vita? Because if not, you have no business being in here.” Liz says.

“Please. I do what I want, when I want.” Vita replies.

“Is that so.” Laila challenges. We all look at the doorway and see her standing there with her arms crossed, looking scarily calm. Ever hear the expression ‘Calm before the Storm?’ Well that is usually the best way to describe Laila.

“I am sick and tired of you causing trouble and making a mockery of this company, miss Phillips. I swear if your name comes up even one more time in a complaint, I’m going to have a serious talk with your father. He happens to be a very old friend of mine. Now. Tell your friend to leave and then get back to the mailroom, where you belong.” Laila says. Vita, who has been cowering the whole time Laila was speaking, grabs Jasmine and rushes out of the room.

Laila is the best.

“Ladies, your overachieving has put you incredibly far ahead. Your next shoot isn’t for a few more weeks, so until then I will have you helping other teams with their work.” she says to us.

“Ok.” Liz says.

“Well, I’ve got to go talk to Anne, so I’ll leave you two alone. By the way Jayd, good choice.” Laila says. I stare at her confused.

“Umm, what do you mean?” I ask.

“Wow dummy. She’s talking about your boyfriend.” Liz says, playfully hitting the back of my head.

“Oh! Thank you.” I say, feeling my cheeks heat up. Laila cracks a smile and then walks out of the room. I take out my phone and text Zayn.

Me: My boss likes you :)

Zayn: Yay! She’s hot

Me: Lol I’m hurt that u would say that

Zayn: Would it help if I said you kinda look like her?

Me: No -___-

Zayn: Awww. Oh well :)

Me: You are so messed up

Zayn: Do me a favor?

Me: What?

Zayn: Build a bridge, and then get over it haha

Me: You’re not funny

Zayn: Yes I am. Will your super hot boss let you off work early?

Me: Yeah, cuz Liz and I are overachievers :)

Zayn: See? Being a nerd always pays off

Me: Did u just call me a nerd?

Zayn: Not sure what you’ll do to me if I answer that question, so….
