If you let me love you.. (Season II)

chapter twenty seven

.
Ayesha's POV
.

"Put all the awards according to how they will be given and stack the name card somewhere where it's easy to pull out". I said to my team and they immediately did what I asked them to.

Today is the appreciation awards day, and I was giving instructions to my people.

With Allah's grace everything went super well till now, I want it to continue.

The decorators came to ask me if I liked the stage setting, I felt bad, I shouted at them on the first day for no reason, I could have dealt with the situation more maturely.

I went to see the stage and gave it a thumbs up, it was bright and beautiful. I loved how they had made hand written banners and stuck them to the wall.

I was sitting with my staff and repeating the check list with them, suddenly everyone turned quiet and stood straight, I frowned. I turned around and found Athar walking towards us.

"Hello sir" everyone said in unison.

"Hi" he smiled, "so, how is it going, Miss Ayesha?" He asked

"Too good sir, we all are very confident in our preparation" I said while hiding my smile, I was having fun pretending that we only had a professional relationship.

"Good to know that" he nodded.

I turned to face my team.

"Have you all understood your work?" I asked

"Yes ma'am" they chorused

"Excellent, now get to work" I said, and everyone scattered around.

I sat on the chair and opened a file, since I was hosting the awards ceremony I had to go through the script once.

"Miss Ayesha, if you don't mind, can I see the list of award categories one more time" he asked standing behind me.

I looked around, even though everyone was busy with their work, but still we were in between so many people, so I had to keep pretending.

"Sure sir" I smiled and put down the file I was reading from and picked up the other one, I flipped the pages to take out the list.

I was about to turn around to hand him over the file, but he surprised me by leaning down, he rested his palm on the table and bent behind me.

"Oh thanks! Let me see it" he said and went through it.

"Athar, what are you doing?" I whispered.

"I'm looking at the list, what else?" his mouth was so close to my ear, I felt his breath touching my skin, I shuddered.

"Everyone is here, move back" I said in the lowest tone possible.

"So what Ayesha, I'm not doing anything wrong, let them look" I felt him coming closer, I panicked and stood up, I stumbled and was about to fall, but thankfully he held me just in time.

"Careful love" he said.

I looked in his eyes, they were full of love for me, a small smile was playing on his lips, there was so much peace on his face, he looked unbelievably handsome.

"Aaaa baby! I don't mind holding you all day, but people are still looking" he smiled mischievously and said in a whisper.

The trance I went in, broke and I realised I was still in his arms, and we were way too close to each other.

I immediately stood straight and stepped back from him. I could see him trying to hide his smile, I glared at him, I was so sure he was purposely annoying me.
