"Am sorry about them" Aliya stood up and shake their hands with an apologetic smile on her face
"It okay Miss Aliya,I'm 'Zara Alisko'. I Was your father's secretary and this is' Mary Jane', she's a best friend of mine" the taller woman introduced pointing at her shorter companion.
"You welcome take a seat" Aliya showed them the sofas and sat down her leg on top the other with Amanda and Sofia by her sides
"Thank you. Am sorry about your father Miss Aliya"
"It's okay,it isn't like it was your fault, so never mind" Aliya said waving her hand not knowing her words had stabbed the woman who shifted on her seat uncomfortably.
"I need to tell you something, it's a secret that concerns you.so we need to talk in private cause it's a sensitive information" Zara Alisko said glancing at the girls sitting at Aliya's two side trying to trace her meaning
"It's okay I trust them with everything about me,they're my best friends, so you can tell me here"
"Okay. I-it was on the 15th of June,I received a message saying I should come to jalem's Restaurant in the evening at 6pm.
****************
A tall slim bodied woman in red short gown entered a rich classy restaurant, her black heels click sound fill the almost empty restaurant
"Hey" she greeted the receptionist
"Hello ma'am do you have a reservation here?" The receptionist asked with a polite smile
"Nope.Am Zara Alisk..." She notified just as asked to do
"Oh.Am sorry let me take you to your booth,he's waiting" the young receptionist led the way and they walked to a private booth far into the restaurant before she stopped
"Here ma'am, the waiter will soon arrive" she gestured at the booth were a handsome man was seated in a black suit looking at the bustling street down peacefully
She definitely knows that face,almost anyone involved in clothing business deeply will know 'Adam Samson' owner of'Samson's Collection'
Her heartbeat doubled it beating rate
'Why will Adam Samson want to see her' she wondered, she was scared of what he want from her cause anyone's definition of Adam Samson that went into business with him is 'The Sly Fox'
She slip in and sat down opposite him but he still didn't take his eyes from the view
"Hello..." She greeted calling his attention
He sighed and turn to her with a smirk on his eyes twinkling with evil amusement
"You came" he said brushing off her greeting
She nodded not finding her words,this man is handsome with the devil's eyes,the one you know one is always plotting evil.
"What are you going to have?" The waiter interrupted her train of thoughts
"Nothing"
"Okay..." He left after that
"So ...why am I here" she asked after some minutes of looking at the guy in her front cutting his steak leisurely with a calm.expression as if they are acquaintance
He lift the piece of steak he cut and slip it into his mouth chewing it slowly and took his wine sipping without looking at her,still gazing down at the busy street down with people coming back from work to reach their comfort home making the street busier
He put down his wine glass and took an iPad that was near him at the side of the table and passed it to her.
Holding the tablet she saw a paused video and squeeze her brow in confusion but played it to see why will Adam give this to her to watch.
Her face contorted into horror, her eyes glazed with fear and rage as she watched the content of the video.
"How did you got this and why?" She asked in anger her nose flaring, her eyes shimmering with fear of the inevitable video,what it lead to and the possible result
Adam stared at her ,that devious smirk of his now plastered on his lips and his eyes twinkling in amusement liking her reaction
"How I got it doesn't matter to you now but why?"
She twitched on her seat uncomfortably, balling her trembling hands under the table hiding how they react from the eyes of the devil who doesn't even care
"You see I .. got the video so that I can hold it against you and make you do some dirty works for me cause only you can do it perfectly without raising a suspicion".
What do you want?" She asked although her heart is beating like crazy
He took the blue file folder next to him which she hadn't notice since her arrival and pushed it to her. She glanced at the file in confusion then looked up to him for inquiry
"You're to make Sultan Malik sign those papers"
"Why will I do that,what's it?"
"You shouldn't care about that rather do what you're told to" he reprimand her sternly like a kid, she nodded gulping hardly.
"That's all for now. Good night Miss Alisko" he stood up and left her there pondering over her decision and the result of disobeying.
