Habiba's POV:

Mr Caleb was presently sitting opposite me with a lusty gaze, he bits his lips eyeing me from head to toe.

"Beauty, you look surprised to see me?" He winks.

"She has a name, don't call her that!" Najib groans.

I'd observed Najib's growing anger but I decided to pretend I didn't notice as my biggest fear for him is to lose his temper at such a place filled with his business associates and other prominent people.

"Habiba right?" He smirks. "I know her name but I just felt like appreciating her beauty, you could learn two or more things from me Najib." He winks again still maintaining his lustful look.

Mr Caleb was loving the drama he was steering, he had succeeded in irritating Najib and I didn't want Najib letting out his fury, not here, not tonight.

"Mr Caleb thanks for your kind words, but can you stop?" I say forcing a smile.

"Aww! You're welcome, but I can't seem to take my eyes off you, you look extra pretty tonight." He whispers licking his lips disgustingly, in such manner that it feels like a thousand cockroaches were crawling on my skin.

"Caleb or whatever your name is shut the f*ck up!" Najib growls banging his fist on the table.

"Najib, please calm down." I whispered to him but he ignores.

"Or what? What will you do?!" Mr Caleb chuckles.

"Hi." He turns to the other couple who were sitting quietly watching our drama unfolds.

"Please tell me, is it a crime to praise such beauty? She is the prettiest tonight right?" He smirks while asking them.

His presence was infuriating not only for us but for the couple as well.

"You can praise her beauty, but remember she is not your wife, she is with her husband so it's considered inappropriate." The man replies.

"Oh shut it, asking you was a mistake." He mumbled.

"Najib, you don't wanna spoil your mood with such a sour face, C'mon let's share a toast." He smiled raising his glass of wine to Najib, but Najib had lost his temper when he shoved the glass to the floor shattering it to pieces.

"Ya salam!" I gasped at the broken glass littered around the floor.

Precisely, the attention of half of the crowd in the hall had diverted to us as the hostesses runs to our table.

"Sorry, It broke by mistake can you clear it away?" I say to them.

"Sure, I'll get the cleaners." She replied.

At that moment I could hear people whispering while gazing at us, the atmosphere was slowly turning noisy with their murmurs so I had to do what I have never done before.

I took it up myself to pacify him, gently I took his hand and slowly began to pat them.

"Najib please ignore him, he's clueless, he just wants to irritate us...

"I'm clueless for you!" Mr Caleb interrupts passing me an eye wink.

And that was the last straw Mr Caleb pulled as Najib got up angrily from his seat.

"Someone needs to teach this fool a lesson!" He glares and before I knew it he was already pulling Mr Caleb out by his collar.

I had to run behind to stop Najib from causing any trouble that could jeopardize the night, but before I reached for him, he was already passing Mr Caleb a series of slaps.
