New Girl In The Court

Chapter 24

Salam!
Hey!
Sorry!
I really did not intend to but I got caught up in a few things! I will try my level best to cover up all the missed updates soon. This is a relatively small chapter, sorry again. I will come back with a bang soon. 

Until then, Enjoy:)

Sufyaan opened a file and analysed it for a moment before passing it to Afzal who was sitting to his right. Afzal gave a glance to it before passing it to Aman who was sitting to his right and in front of Sufyaan. He opened it and started to read. Raiyan was sitting at the far end of the table with a few papers in his hand and his mind wandering in an enchanted land. After five more minutes Afzal looked up from his laptop and observed his colleagues. He frowned as he said, "We are not keeping up with the time. We are still living in the stone age."

"You mean we need to modernise our techniques to overcome this problem?" Aman asked his friend. "I think that can solve the problem. I think that will work."

"I am not talking about that. Look at us. Only men. We are in the 21st century and we have no Female leaders here. That is our problem."

Sufyaan frowned as he said, "It is not that we are not allowing Females in our workplace. We just never found someone."

"That is even sadder. We should have looked deeper. Ah, forget it," he closed the file. "I am so tired. Let us take a break and talk about this problem. Work can wait."

"It is not a problem, Afzal," Sufyaan said not looking up from his paper, "We are more than willing to give a position and great pay to anyone and everyone who works well. We do not have time or resources at the moment to recruit someone new. So for now let's hold on to what we have and get over with this. We are almost done. Once we tackle the shipping issue, we are back on track. So let that be our focus."

"Ah, you are so technical, sufyaan. I feel bad for Zyva. She must get so bored of you. So bored."

"Better than getting irritated. Yamina really got some patience."

"Wow, you still fight like a kid. Grow up Sufyaan, grow up."

As Sufyaan rolled his eyes Afzal changed his focus to the man sitting in front of him but far away to be a part of their conversation. He examined Raiyan for a moment before leaning forward. "What is he working at? What's so intense?"

"He seems lost in his thoughts," Aman said. Afzal looked to his left and then to his right before picking up a piece of paper. He rolled it before throwing it in Raiyan's Direction, catching his attention immediately.

"Yes, sir?"

"Yeah. Hello. Is everything alright? What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing much. Do I need to do anything?"

"No, no we are taking a break. Leave those papers. Breathe deeply." Raiyan smiled as he kept the papers on the table. "Good boy. Raiyan, why don't you do us a favour? Get married. It has been such a long time since we did something fun. We are living a very stagnant life these days, aren't we?"

"You are talking like Amal now. She said that to Haajar yesterday." Sufyaan closed his file and looked up.

"Oh, yes. We have Haajar too. Aren't you guys looking for a groom for her? She is done with her studies and works now. Maybe now is the time."

"Her mother was saying something about that a few days ago. She asked me if I know any good guy." Raiyan looked at Sufyaan before raising his head high. "Maybe it is time. I will ask her what she wants. Until then maybe I will look for good guys."
