Faisal was pacing around his office, feeling lost and confused before he sat down. He was starting to get irritated realising what Ibrahim had done behind his eyes and if only he knew, he would have known what to do better.

Henry knocked before turning the knobs and walked in. However, Faisal didn't care to spare him a glance as his eyes were fixed on his computer screen. "What do you what!?" He asked.

Henry dropped him a file. "It's the project concerning the collaboration between our company and that of Faruq's. The Co engineering." He answered. Faisal hissed and grabbed the file from him. "Now what do you want me to do? Agree to all of this? If only you put me in your plans!" He groaned annoyingly as he rubbed his face, going through the file when Ibrahim walked in.

"I just spoke to Faruq!" He said, walking in.

"And? What did he say?" Faisal asked, sounding not interested in whatever they were going to say.

"He said that Maryam will be having a meeting with Peter and while they are at the meeting, we would be discussing the project he is working on and through that we would be able to raise the company insurance. Are you in or not?" He asked and for the first time since Ibrahim entered he looked at him with the thought of declining.

"And what if I don't?" He asked.

Ibrahim scoffs. "We are in this brother!"

Faisal sighed, realising there was no way back. Arif isn't here neither is Khalil. He leaned on his chair and asked Ibrahim to take a seat so they would be able to discuss it properly, just when he was taking a seat Maryam barged in with her Secretary startling the three of them. She stood by the door with a cold stare at the m men.

"Is there something i am missing out?" She asked, but none of them answered. She sighed. "Is there something wrong Faisal, that i need to know and you are not telling me?" She asked but he shook his head. 

"There is nothing, Maryam. You don't have to worry!" He said firmly.

"Are you sure? I don't think it is something I shouldn't worry about!" She said which shook the three men. However, they still didn't understand her. She moved away from the doorway and walked towards  Ibrahim who still held on a strong expression.

"What are you getting at Maryam?" He asked.

She shrugged and turned to Faisal. "I don't think you know what he did, do you?" She asked, as they looked at her confused. Ibrahim was pissed off by her on and off talks. "What are you trying to insinuate Maryam. If you have nothing meaningful to say, get out. We have something to discuss with Faisal!"

"Or you want to team against me huh!?"

"What!?" His brows drew together, she smirked and turned to Faisal. "Faisal, you are fired!" She denounced. Like an electric shock, Faisal went numb to his feet, cogitate what she had just said.

Ibrahim hissed. "You have no power to fire Faisal. Khalil put him in that position.!"

"And why not? Khalil is not even here!" She said, giggling awkwardly.

"I am the CEO Maryam, I have had enough of your tyranny." He yelled.

"That is because I let you Ibrahim, Faisal is a traitor. He leaked our intel out and guess what, he is Secretly working with Faruq or is it, the Co Engineering company?" She asked, rhetorically as Ibrahim and Faisal stared at each other stunned.

How did she know that?

Fasial didn't... I…

Wait a sec?

"What evidence do you have that Faisal did that?" He asked and without saying a word, she gestured to her Secretary to hand her a file as she collected it and then handed it over to Faisal. Faisal was still in a state of delusion when he collected the file, opened it to start reading but was left aghast to see a picture_pictures of himself shaking hands with Faruq and Peter. The first thought that came to his mind was...
