❛ Why are you acting this way? ❜
❛ I feel infuriated.❜
❛ And why is that so? ❜
❛ Because I can't figure out if I should scream at you or have you screaming for me.❜

"I feel like a Red Panda." I shriek out as I look at the guests gawking in our direction. Kabir— yes, I only address him as sir when I am talking to him otherwise he is called by the other colourful names I have allotted to him. He had listed off my duties for tonight as his pretend partner.
"What!?" His eyes widen at my comparison, his steps faltering a bit before he regains his composed state. His fingers brush against my exposed waist, and I feel my breath halting in my throat.
We had parked the car and taken a walk to the entrance, his hand had snaked to my lower back then, as a gesture. He was careful with his contact, respectful but even those small brushes against my skin were strong enough to make a shiver run down my spine.
"Like how spectators in a zoo get excited when they see a panda, and more so if it's a red one? That way. I can feel the burn of their gazes, charring to the core of my soul." I exclaim, whispering my observations to my uninterested boss who is smiling at everyone.
"Snob."
"Behave."
"Should I kneel down, sir?" I give him a side-eye. Looking caught off guard by my statement, he opens his mouth clearly to berate me for my language when he stops. His eyes widen and narrow in accord, and the grip around my waist tightens, pulling me towards him.
"What are you doing, sir?" I murmur under my breath, our bodies so close.
"Kabir."
"Call me Kabir." He explains once I give him a confused expression. Before I can ask more questions, a new voice interrupts our conversation.
In the car, Kabir apologised for using Sana's card to blackmail.
'By the way...'
'Hmm?'
'I am sorry.'
'You finally realised that you trouble me?'
'Noor..'
'Okay go ahead.'
'I am sorry for using Sana to blackmail you. That was my only resort. I had no other option, I needed you to be there with me.'
