Ties

~Chapter 13

Khalil woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning, and it was Wednesday, the busiest day at the firm. He also had an important meeting with an international client.

"Ughhh, kill me!" Khalil groaned as he sat up. He said his azkhar, then he checked the time. It read 8:30, he was almost late for work. "Oh God, I'm almost late." He said and stood up immediately, making his way to the bathroom to take his bath.

You would wonder why he was worried about being late, considering he was the boss. But if he as the boss wasn't punctual, how does he expect the employees to be punctual to work?
They look up to him, so he is supposed to set a good example for them because the way he acts towards work will most definitely reflect on his employees.

He was out of the shower some minutes later. He was in a rush because it's not in his principles to be late for work. He quickly wore a white shirt and along with a navy blue suit and its matching office trousers. He wore his navy blue Emperio Armani EA7, coupled with a black Armani wristwatch.
He rushed downstairs, and he met everyone having breakfast at the dining area - the kids were eating on their cute little dining table, while the adults were on the main table. -

"Morning everyone." Khalil greeted. He didn't have the time to greet everyone one after the other.

"Morning." Everyone chorused.

"I'm running late, bye." He said and turned to leave.

"Won't you have breakfast, khalil?" Mami asked.

"No, mami, I'll have something at the office. Bye."

"Drive safely." She said, and he left. He got into his beloved g80, and he revved it to life. He waited till he was out of the gates before he sped off, just not too much because, well, he was the one giving speeding advice the other day.
The day he met his Ms. Arrogant.

I'm so glad I did that. He started getting lost in his thoughts before he brought himself back to reality and continued his journey to the office.

He arrived at his office by exactly 8:50 am. He parked his car in his reserved parking space - perks of being the boss -
A feeling of pride washed over him when he stood in front of the building, admiring his hard work. It took so much time and effort, hard work, and determination for him to have that company. His very own coding firm Smart Tech, famously known as ST.
He took in a deep breath and made his way to the main entrance.

The place was already bustling, and it wasn't even 9:00 yet. He admired the competence of his employees. They were very responsible. He had carefully selected them, and not once had he ever regretted his decisions.

"Good morning, sir." A group of interns greeted.

"Morning." He replied with a smile and walked to the receptionist.

"Morning, sir." The receptionist greeted with a warm smile.

"Morning khadijah."

"Sir, the reports for the software arrived earlier."

"Oh, that's great. Have them sent to my office please."

"Already did, sir."

"Thank you." He said, and she replied with a smile.

"Sir, Mr. Yasir is in your cabin. He's waiting for you."

"Alright, I'll be on my way then."

"Assalamu Alaikum." Khalil said as he walked into his office. It was a grey coloured room, it had a full wall window by the left side. The black mahogany table situated by the wall opposite the window. A black couch by the right and a 75" television in front of it.
