"Well, there's someone who knows about her," she said in a calm tone and with a slight smile.
"Who?" I stood up immediately and asked instantly, being incredibly curious to know about the woman I had been searching for years.
She smiled at my respon...

So, am I supposed to scream or just faint right now? What on earth just happened to me? The way he called me "princess" so smoothly made my stomach do flips. I've never blushed at any nickname given to me by my loved ones, but when he said it in that deep voice, I felt my knees give way. If I hadn't tried to act bold, I'd probably be lying on the ground, weak from hearing his dangerously deep, ocean-like voice calling me "princess."
And the way he looked at me when I was talking to Sahil made my cheeks heat up for no reason. I'm sure he was incredibly jealous, but the craziest part is that my heart was actually loving his jealousy and his sternness.
And those shirt buttons... If he'd just let me, I'd have undone those remaining buttons and seen the most incredible view, his abs-no, shut up, Jasmine, control your wild thoughts; he's your boss now. But my stubborn heart just can't get over our encounter.
He didn't smile the entire ride, as my Rehan Qureshi, aka my boss, was busy being jealous. But I couldn't help noticing how his jaw clenched every time Sahil complimented me.
My feet might be heading toward my room, but I left my heart with him.
After getting inside, I closed the door and sat comfortably on my bed, opening the bag to see what "Mr. Angry Bird" gifted me as his apology. As I unwrapped the items, a smile crept onto my already blushing face. They were different kinds of chocolates. Not bad-kind of cute.
I never thought this angry man would think of giving me chocolates. I was engrossed in choosing which one to eat when my eyes landed on another packet. I opened it only laughed out loud.
Seriously, Qureshi, an antiseptic cream?
Does he think I'd use something to erase his touch? Yes! I will! How could he hold me so tightly?
Holding the cream, I walked to the mirror, turned slightly to get a clear view, and saw how red my skin had become from his jealous grip.
Umm, not too bad, but enough that I should apply the cream to soothe the irritation.
After placing the cream on the dressing table, I changed into comfortable red night suit. A few minutes later, I went near my bed and grabbed some chocolates and the cream, and made my way to the terrace because the room isn't the safe place of apply the cream as anytime the door can be burst open revealing two female beauties to take the gossip.
It was around 1:00 AM, so I quietly walked up, only to cover my mouth in shock, no I was wrong, terrace isn't a safer place too!
Front of me Aleena was applying the same antibiotic cream on her neck! I'm sure she didn't see me because she was still applying it, staring at the half-moon.
I walked up behind her.
"Did Mr Asad give you that cream?" I teased her from behind. She instantly turned to me, about to scream, but I covered her mouth.
