The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 11

I climbed my bed going into the covers and I sat up and picked my phone up to check my alarms

I put my phone down on the bedside table when it rang, indicating I got a message

I unlocked my password and checked the message, it was an unknown number
I opened the message and read it

"Hi"
" It's Iqraam"

And I realized I didn't ask for his number and only gave him mine

I decided to reply
" Oh hi"
" How are you"
Was my reply

" I'm great, what about you?"

" I'm all good"

He asked and I replied back and he didn't message me anymore

I was somewhat disappointed

I sighed and dropped my phone on the bedside table before making Dua and falling asleep

******

"Urgh" I groaned, I couldn't figure out what to wear

I woke up to pray tahajjud and Fajr and read a portion of the Qur'an, I managed to sleep for two hours

I got a message from Iqraam, he sent me his office address and he said he'll take me to see the hotel after we discuss

And now I don't know what to wear, I looked at my wardrobe and decided to wear a white chiffon top paired with black pants, a grey overcoat and hijab

I took a black channel bag and black pumps to go with my outfit

I love black a lot

Afterwards, I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up and got dressed, after using my perfume, I applied lip balm and I'm ready to go

I walked out of my room to the dining hall and everyone was seated
In the usual sitting position

Dad and Abdullah were dressed in suits, going to work

"As Salam alaikum" I said making my way to sit next to Abdullah

" Wa alaikumus salam" they all replied

" How was your night" dad asked me smiling

"Alhamdulilah" I replied to him smiling back and he nodded

" You're meeting Iqraam today for the hotel issue" Abdullah asked me tilting his head to look at me

" Yes I am" I replied to him smiling
I don't know why I'm feeling excited at the thought of seeing Iqraam

" What issue" mum asks me interrupting my trail of thoughts

" Oh, something came up with the hotel we booked before but insha' Allah I'll sort it out today" I tell her and she nodded

We ate breakfast in silence afterwards, I pecked mum on the cheeks and made my way to the garage

I decided to drive my Mercedes today

I picked the key and made my way to the car, unlocking it, I got inside and drove out, starting my day

I drove to my office building, it was a 45 minutes drive
I parked my car at the underground parking lot and made my way to my private elevator

I pressed the open button and it opened
I walked in and the doors closed

I pressed the number 12 on the buttons indicating the floors

My office was on the 12th floor and that's the highest floor

After a few minutes I got there and the elevator doors opened and I stepped out

Making my way out of the elevator, I was greeted by some staffs and I smiled at them nodding politely

I walked towards my office and Reya met me on the way

She started telling me my schedule for today and it was sure tight

" Bring me the files and prepare for our Appointment with Mr. Iqraam" I said to her after she was done speaking and she left my office

My office has a simple design, a brown mahogany table and a black seat was at the front of a glass wall with two other seats at the front of the table and a shelf was beside the table to the right, where I kept my files

And a long couch was opposite the table with a smaller table in front of it

I walked towards the table and took my seat on the black seat behind the table
