Talha hands files to Ezzah.

"Pretty soul, you just joined today, so I won't give you much work—just these two or three files you need to complete."

"Boss, these are two or three files?" she said, standing with ten files in her hand.

"They are still few... Pretty soul, do you have any issues?" Talha asked gently.

"No, I will manage," Ezzah replied. She then starts to leave the cabin when Talha stops her.

"You can sit here and work. After all, you are my secretary."

Ezzah sits at the table in front of Talha and begins her work.

A While Later:

Ezzah was doing her work, but Talha had been looking into her eyes for a long time. At that moment, his younger brother, Ibrahim, entered the cabin.

"Brother, I’m here! Teach me how to do things," Ibrahim said, standing in front of Talha.

"Step back," Talha replied absentmindedly, his eyes still on Ezzah.

"Huh?" Ibrahim looked at Talha and noticed him staring at Ezzah.

"Ezzah, is that you?" Ibrahim exclaimed as he walked towards her, which Talha noticed.

Ezzah stood up from her seat upon hearing Ibrahim's words.

"You two know each other?" Talha asked, biting his lower lip.

"Yes, brother. We both go to the same university."

"Ezzah, you didn’t tell me that you attend university too," Talha asked her.

"Boss, I was about to tell you but didn’t get the chance."

"It’s fine. And you, Ibrahim, what are you doing here?" Talha pointed at him with a pen.

"Well, you said you'd teach me the office work tomorrow," Ibrahim said, standing next to Talha.

"Yes, I will. Go home now."

"Okay, brother. And Ezzah, will you come to uni tomorrow?" Ibrahim asked as he was leaving.

"Yes," Ezzah nodded.

"Okay, Allah Hafiz," Ibrahim said and left.

"Why is this Ibrahim getting so familiar with my pretty soul?" Talha thought to himself.

Ezzah's POV:

It was night.

It was getting late, and it was time for the Isha prayer. There was so much work left to do, and I couldn’t finish in time.

Talha noticed that I looked worried, so he walked over to me.

"Is everything okay, pretty soul? You look worried."

"Boss, can I pray here? It’s time for the Isha prayer," I said quickly.

"Okay," Talha replied thoughtfully.

I quickly got up from my seat and began offering the Isha prayer. Talha was just watching me, lost in his thoughts.

On the Other Side:

Elif's POV:

I had been waiting for Ezzah to come home, but she hadn’t returned yet, so I decided to go to her office to check on her.

As I was walking to the office, I saw Ibrahim coming out of the building. I was about to turn back, but he saw me and called out.

"Elif, stop!"
