Broken Hearts, Hidden Secrets

Chapter Fourteen.

 Zianna's Secret Behind Her Bucket List.

Ever since Azhar read the bucket list, he knew that something serious was going on with Zianna. The main problem was that he needed to learn how to ask her about the list.

She would get angry with him for many reasons, one being that he lied to her about not knowing where the list was and photocopying it without her permission.

As a lawyer, Azhar knew Zianna was entitled to file a case against him.

What if I ask Uncle Khalid for help? No, I can't do that...

He didn't even hear Zianna walk inside his office and placed the cup of coffee on his desk. She cleared her throat trying to get his attention but couldn't, so she just spoke up as clients were waiting for her boss outside of his office.

"Sir, the client is here to discuss about the case," Zianna says interrupting his chain of thoughts.

"Send them in," he says.

Zianna nods and walks out of the office to let the clients in the office.

Something is wrong with Mr. Muhsin today. Maybe he is sick or something is bothering him. What am I even saying? He is just my boss, who gave me a bunch of useless rules to follow. I can't follow any of them as they are absurd. Besides, why am I the only one to get rules from my boss?...

"Asalam Aleikum, Zian..."

Zianna looked up to see who was greeting her only to find her older brother was standing there smiling at her.

"Waleikum salaam, Tay. What brings you here?" She asked with a huge smile.

"Well, I was planning on getting lunch at our favourite cafe and I wanted you to join me, if your boss would let you?" Tayyal explained to her.

Meanwhile, in the office, Azhar was almost done with the meeting, he looked outside his office to find Zianna talking and laughing with a guy.

Something inside him started building up, but Azhar quickly shut it down as he remembered Her.

But Zianna isn't her. She is very different and doesn't take your crap.

His conscious says to him but all Azhar felt was mixed emotions of anger, jealousy and rage.

"Okay, then that settles it, right?" One of the clients asked Azhar who nodded.

"Yes, for now, we just need to keep the case a low-profile as you don't want the other party to get to know what kind of evidence we have to put them where they belong," Azhar says while looking at Zianna and that man who was smiling.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Muhsin, for your help. We will keep in touch. Goodbye."

"You are welcome and see you."

As the clients walked out of the office, Zianna then noted down when their next meeting would be.

"So, now can we go for lunch or are you stil busy?" Tayyal asks his sister.

He noticed that his sister's boss was looking at them intensely and didn't even blink.

Azhar Muhsin, my sister's boss or maybe something else. Sorry, sis. I need to do this to make sure of something. I hope I am right about this and we need to talk about what medical condition you have my dear sister.

"Let me just inform my boss that I am now taking my lunch break, okay?"

"Sure, I will wait for you."

Zianna got up from her desk and then knocked on her boss's door.
