Zunair's Pov

As soon as my attention went towards her my heart forgot it's task to do. She asked about her look and I don't know what has gotten into me I unconsciously blurted out an angel. To avoid being awkward I quickly offered heading out which she gladly accepted.

We soon arrived at the restaurant as it was not so far. She grabbed my hand and intervined it with hers shocking me but I covered it smoothly. We spotted the client easily as we greeted them and sat down opposite to them. The client was here with his wife too.

We had the lunch and I noticed the women was staring at me I mean I'm charming but that doesn't mean you forget the fact that I'm married and she is too and Ada throwing daggers at with her eyes on the other hand. I ignored her eyes and continued the talk with Mr Joshi.

I ate namely bites feeling uncomfortable with the eyes on me. I don't really want to create a scene but this woman has left me with no choice.

"Babe! I think you should try my dish it's so delicious and let me taste yours." I intentionally spoke loudly. It didn't take her a sec to understand the assignment and replied with "I would like to stick to my dish hun. I don't share what's mine." She said the second line while gazing at Mrs Joshi.

The woman stopped staring thankfully. I continued my talk with Mr Joshi later on while eating my lunch.

After ceiling the deal, I grabbed her waist as soon as we stood up and she played along well.

"Nice meeting you Mr Joshi." I said before heading out with her.

We were in a complete silence. I was very well aware of her mood which I wanted to lit up. My eyes fell on the icecream shop and I pushed the break unconsciously.

I went up to her side and opened the door she gave me a questioning look while keeping her hand in mine.

I took her in the shop and saw a smile spreading on her face which made me smile too. I ordered our favourites after seating on the chair opposite to her. The shop was giving cozy vibes.

I grabbed her hand catching her off guard as she dug into the food. I gave an innocent smile before continuing my icecream. She turned into a tomato as we continued to eat.

We had a casual conversation while being back home. I knew I was successful on lighting her mood.

We arrived home and I saw Adiba looking more like a snowball snuggling into herself for creating heat. I mentally noted to place her bed out of our room as she needed heat and the airconditioner was troubling her.

I took her in my lap and she snuggled into it. I stroked her back which she liked I guess. Ada entered the room and seated leaning on to me.

"The makeup artist is going to be here in 15 minutes." She voiced out and I nodded but her sadness about something wasn't unnoticed by me. "What's wrong?" I asked "Nothing Zunair it's just that I can't bear people trying to get what's mine and you don't give a crap about it. I hated it! The way she was looking at you." She bursted out. I wasn't expecting her to think about it till now. "I'm sorry but it was just buisness and nothing else I won't see that woman nor the man again once the deal is sealed and it's already done." She nodded understandingly as I explained her.

The door bell rang and she went to see it as I was having Adiba in my lap.

"The artist is here." I nodded before getting up taking Adiba with me. As I was about to leave she added "Hafsa, Sara and Zainab are here too." I nodded again before heading out.

I went downstairs only to find the three girls leaving in hurry. I saw Samir laying on the couch as if owning it.

"You're uninvited get out." I voiced out before seating on the opposite couch. He rolled his eyes. "Whatever this is my brother's house and I'll stay here even if you humiliate me to my core because I got this job from Ammi to drop and pick them all up." His firm voice was transparent to his mood.
