The text contains, "I am watching you Ms. Zain, be careful maybe I am in front of you, you never know right?"

Zahra was looking at her phone scared, tension was building inside her.

Zahra are you alright? Said Zayn.

She flinched even this slight sound scared her and replied, Yes, I am.

With that the vacation comes to an end. She wasn't even able to sleep. Everything seems suspicious to her. The workers working there are all old they are wokrking for them for so many years still they were in the suspicious list of Zahra's.

Next day...

Zahra was working at her office, she was in an online conference with Mr. Alex. He is the New Client of Zahra who is investing on a high end development which includes residential buildings offices and many things and he wants some of the best Architects to work in his project as a result Zahra and Victor got the deal.

Yes Mr. Alex I will make sure to give you the best and modern design you know my work right. Me with my team will ensure that you get the best designs.

I know, Ms. Zain that's why I appointed you and yeah I would like you to know that Mr. Voss will be with you and I want the best anyhow.

Sure Mr. Alex. Ok I will update you soon.

Hello, Ms. Lila, I want you to set an appointment with Mr. Voss whenever he wants and make sure the time is within today.

Ok, mam.

"I see you're busy, Zahra. I just wanted to remind you that no matter how many projects you undertake, I'll always be watching. Your success won't make you invisible. Be careful."

Reading the text she freezes, her eyes widening as she reads the text. Her hands tremble slightly as she sets her phone down.
She could feel a rush of anxiety, her heart racing. Despite her fear,  she is trying to maintain a calm exterior, forcing herself to focus on her work, but it is slightly visible that she is tensed. She informed her office security to check if there was any suspicious person inside the building and asked for the CCTV footage which she would check by herself.

Later that day,

She came to her conference room as she got to know Victor will be here within few minutes. She got her team ready,

Guys I want you to work extra hours for upcoming two weeks we need to get this project done anyhow. Mr. Voss will be here soon with his team.

Soon Victor was there. He along with everyone sat on their respective seats and the meeting went on discussing about work. Victor decided that he will stay and work with Zahra here in her office today, actually his intention was to stay closer to her.

Mr. Voss would you like to come to my cabin we can work and discuss there?

Sure, Ms. Zain you go I am coming, I need to grab a cup of coffee.

With that both went to their respective direction. Zahra came to her cabin and she noticed some things weren't in their place. Zahra is a very tidy and clean girl. Like she loves to keep things in its place and something like this in her cabin is impossible. She noticed her drawer is slightly open. Fear built within her. She carefully entered the room taking every step carefully and scan the whole room to see if someone is present or not. She came near the drawer and about to open it

Ms. Zain-

Zahra flinched hard, it was visible in her face that she got scared but seeing it's her secretory she calm herself down.
