CHAPTER SEVEN

                     
                 "Sleeplessness upon sleeplessness, and one like me is sleepless, And my grief increases and my tears trickle. The effort of passion is to be as I see, A sleepless eye and a throbbing heart. Whenever lightning flashes or a bird sings, I turn back,     And I have a yearning heart."

                       Asad Aziz

you know when you have a routine and someone just comes and ruins it for you ?yeah that's exactly what my sister and her friend are doing,I have a meeting in a hour and I'm currently going through the documents, Zainab and her friend were talking about random things at the moment and they chose my office for that,how amazing

" Did you see that sweet girl I met at the cafeteria earlier fay?,she was also pretty Allahoma Barik"I heard my sister excitedly say but I didn't give any attention to it

"I couldn't say the same,what was her name again?"Fiona asked sounding annoyed

"It was Nour,she was wonderful"Zainab replied making me stop mid flipping the paper and look up at her interested now

"From the design department?I asked but I made sure not to sound weird

"Oh yeah she even asked me to go there if I needed anything,and she made me laugh so much that I ran out of breath"Zainab is easy going and friendly ,sometimes too much and I had to talk to her about it at some point,but hearing this I think she really likes her

"I don't understand the hype Zay,what did you exactly see in her,she is too basic "Fiona boredly said which only got a cold look from me

"Zainab if you will keep on talking about my employees badly I suggest you leave now"I said but I was still looking at the Fiona girl

"Asad,ah I think you misunderstood me,I just said that well  she is simple,normal,nothing to see or like"she said again rolling her eyes, and that made me angry ,I had to take a breath

"Enough"I said calmly
Getting my phone I called Hamza and he picked up instantly
"Come to my office"
"On my way "he replied and hung up
Not even a minute later he came in
"You asked for me Sir?"he knew that woman said or did something that made my face look like I had just ate a chilli sauce because he was frowning

"Take Zainab's friend to the apartment we prepared for them and provide her with everything she needs"

"Asad Brother..."Zainab tried to say something but I just held a hand
"You will follow her later,I need to talk to you"I looked Into her eyes and I think she understood because she nodded at me

"Fiona,you go first and we will go touring after,okay?"she told her friend with a smile

"But zay,I was just ...."she still has some tongue to run uff
"Please fay,we will catch up after some time"

"Ok ,letar then"Fiona said and got up now staring  at me like I just killed her dog.

After they said their good byes Zainab looked at me with a side eye
"Why were you so rude brother?"she said with an attitude

"I wasn't rude,she was basically bashing my employee "i said defending myself

"Well she did,you could've let me handle it "she said a little sad which I hated,I grew up trying to make her happy and give her everything she  wanted and making her sad was never in my dictionary

"Zainab,I'm sorry ,I didn't mean to make you sad but you heard what she said ,and I couldn't just let her.."I blabbered but what she said next made me stop functioning
