Yours

Chapter 18

"Soo...you and Mr Yusuf huh?" Sarah said with a grin as she spun on the chair she was on.

We were currently seated in her little office space, we had arrived at their office about 2 hours ago.

We have a little coffee break and the both of us ditched it to come sit in her office.

I frowned at her statement, what would make her say that?

"What? What do you mean?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes "oh please! The both of you look like you're 10 seconds away from confessing your un denying love for each other. "

I rolled my eyes at her "Sarah."

"What? It's the truth! Yesterday I only lowkey said what I said about him to see your reaction, and you didn't disappoint, I said lowkey because I actually meant it, he's fine as hell! Anyways that's besides the point, as I was saying, I sensed something yesterday because y'all kept speaking to each other and there was this chemistry there" she paused to take a sip of her tea as I glared at her.

"And then this meeting that we came out of was so much worse! The eye contact! The biggest mistake ever made was letting y'all sit opposite each other, I swear I'm not exaggerating when I say y'all were looking at each other the entire time, I'm pretty sure Mr Brown was annoyed because whenever Mr Yusuf was speaking to him, his gaze was still on you, what a love story!" She said as she clapped her hands.

"Great, another loyal member added to Hameeda's ship team" I murmured to my self as I took a sip of the strong coffee, frowning my face at the bitter taste.

"What?" Sarah asked after she hadn't heard what I had said.

"First of all, I have always thought of myself as the most delusional person ever but I promise you, you can take the crown, second of all, there's nothing going on, he doesn't look at me that way and most importantly he has a girlfriend-" she didn't let me finish and she interrupted.

"That's not what I asked, do you or do you not like him?" She said.

"You didn't even ask that! And I don't!"

"Liar!"

"Shut up!" I said.

"You like him!" She said.

I was about to reply but a voice stopped me.

"Who likes who?" Ya Abdul asked as he came into the office.

I and Sarah paused as we watched him take a seat on the sofa in her office before picking up the magazine on it.

I was scared they could hear the beating of heart because of how him walking in caught me off guard.

WHAT IF HE HEARD BUT HE WAS JUST PLAYING ALONG???

"Rabi'ah, there's this guy that she fancies and I told her to give it a shot" Sarah blabbered with her big mouth.

I almost face palmed myself.

He gaze immediately fell on me "Really?"

Ya Allah...PLEASE.

I didn't answer as I resisted the urge to scratch my head.

"Yes!" She answered for me "what do you think Mr Yusuf? Don't you think she should give it a-try, he makes her blush a lot"

I don't even blush! What on earth is this girl on about.

He moved his gaze to Sarah "of course, if something or someone makes you happy you go for it"

Ugh, I told her that Abdul didn't care.

Sarah looked a bit disappointed by his reply but she was a good actress so she was quick to cover it up with a huge grin.
