"Have they been able to find anything?'

Irtaza asked while taking a sip through his black coffee. After dropping Miraal to her work, he made a beeline to Arsalan's firm. Arsalan who was sitting on the other side nodded

"It wasn't enough. But a lead is a lead."

He pulled out a file and opened a certain paragraph before passing the file in Irtaza's direction. As he leaned to take a look, he gazed back at him.

"He was found meeting a man mysteriously quite a few times. It could be a wealthy client per se but I have a feeling it isn't."

Arsalan voiced out his concerns. Irtaza nodded.

"Yeah. It seems strange. Anything on the man?"

Arsalan shook his head. Dead ends after dead ends. They were getting pulled into a big trap with no way out.

"Why are you so keen that Rohaan might be involved?"

Arsalan asked. His face filled with confusion. It made Irtaza paused for a little while before he answered

"I just had an intuition. He seems too good to be true. And...I've felt I've seen him somewhere."

Arsalan's eyebrows furrowed.

"In Turkey?"

Irtaza nodded.

"Demir's been quite too after that."

Arsalan muttered.

"That's not a good sign. Whenever he's out like that, he's planning something big."

Irtaza voiced out knowing Demir's tactic very well. He was a cunning, cunning man. He knew when to lay down his cards. He masters in manipulation. His dirty mind might be calculating his next steps.

A dinged sounded in the air as Irtaza's eyes snapped to Arsalan's. He picked up his phone before gazing back at Irtaza

"We have a lead on Abrar."

He informed.

"Where?"

They needed that Abrar. Only he can solve some of their issues.

"It's says a restaurant out in the west side."

He showed Irtaza the location. And after seeing the location, Irtaza's mind went alert. It was the same. It was the same restaurant where Miraal told him was going to meet a client. Could be that it she was going to meet Abrar? Or is just a coincidence?

"What's wrong?"

Arsalan asked when he found Irtaza irresponsive. He looked up before standing up from his place.

"That's the same place Miraal messaged me about meeting a client there."

It was enough of an information for Arsalan to stand up alerted. They both left his cabin in a rush. If Abrar is the one Miraal going to be meeting today, then there in bigger trap than Irtaza had imagined.

Miraal looked at the outstretched hand of Abrar Malik before passing him a small professional smile. He jerked his hand back when found no response from her side. His eyes clashed with Rohaan and he found them glaring at him. He gulped down before taking a seat to the centre.

"Miraal, this is Abrar Malik. The one your father was working with."

Miraal turned her head in Abrar's direction before asking him
