Questions??

Mr. Malak's POV

"Do you like tacos?" I asked her as I observed her face. If you ask me she looked as if she was expecting a different question. You know a more interesting question. And what about you? Isn't that what you were expecting too?

Honestly I did wanted to ask her an "interesting" question but I just couldn't. Why you ask? In my defense she is my employee, it's against the rules.

"Tacos?" She finally spoke. I nod my head.

*HONK HONK!!*

I looked away and saw a few cars honking at me in the mirror. Finally the traffic is no more, and I can continue driving.

I placed my hands on the steering wheel and started driving.

Silence was the only thing surrounding us right now at this moment. I kept driving looking ahead and she kept on staring at the window.

I looked up at the mirror and caught Jannah's eyes staring at me. She takes them off fast and looks away as if she never stared at me.

"You still haven't answered my question." I said as I put my eyes back on the road.

" I didn't get your question."

"What's not to get? Do you like tacos?"
"Of course! I mean its tacos, who doesn't like them?"

Boy am I reviled to hear that.

"Good." I said as I parked the car.

"Why--" "We're here." I said cutting her off. I guess you can say that I want to surprise her a little. You'll see my point later, but as for now? Stick around. ;)

I put my shades on, took my bag and phone and got out of the car quickly

Before Jannah could open the door, I opened it for her. She looked at me as she formed a surprised face expression. "Thank you." She said while trying to get out of the car picking up her long skirt.

Why are you shocked? I mean I agree I am kind of cold but I have a sister and a mother who teaches me respect for women and manners as well.

Jannah's POV

Well his certainly acting weird today. Is it just me or is Mr. Malak changing? Maybe it's those pills I took in the morning. I think that they have some side effects

Every time, I try to think and set my mind straight my annoying loud heels interprets my thoughts...

I wonder what people are going to say when they see us both walking in together. They might be shocked, maybe really really shocked you know considering the fact that he and I never got along

"Good morning sir. Good morning Jannah." Said Ms. Malia as she opens the door for me and sir.

"Good Morning." I said back with a smile. Oh, I'm sorry. You're wondering about what Mr. Malak said? Well that shouldn't be a surprise. The dude said nothing. He just nodded his head and gave a fake obvious smile.

I must admit this moment is wired. I'm with sir in the elevator which appears to be singing a love song.

Can you do me a favor once again? Please? Pry for me. Make dua that this awkward moment fades.

FINALY!

As soon as the elevator door opened everyone's eyes fell on us. They stared at us as if we are a newly married couple that eloped and just now came back home. The good thing is that Rebecca came and broke the silence like always. My angel.

"Welcome back Jannah." She said as she quickly walks to me giving me a hug. "Good Morning sir." She said adding in a smile. "Good morning Rebecca."

Wait, are my ears deceiving me? Did the cold hearted man just.... You know what? Your right, I should just shut up and continue...

He left me and Rebecca in the middle of the room and walked to his office. For some reason he looked at me and then walked away. Alright.

A FEW HOURS LATER!

I must admit, it feels sooo good to be back in my office. I sipped my tea as I put my files down. I'm prepared for the interview I'm doing in 35 minutes with Khalid. And then I have to do a single one with Mr. Freedmen. Talk about a busy day.

"Nervous much?" Rebecca asks as she sits down on the chair facing me. "Is it that obvious?" "Well duhh. I mean you are sipping tea. That's not like you." She's right. I hate hot tea. Ew. I like ice tea, hot tea is only something I drink to calm me down in intense stages.

I sigh and put the tea down on the table turning my head to Rebecca. "I don't know. I mean I feel somewhat confident because I know that Khalid is going to be there, but it's just..." "You feel wired?" "Yes. Exactly. I feel like I'm going to hear bad news today." "Why?" "I don't know. You know that feeling you get when you feel that things are about to be real?" She nods her head.

"Well that's the feeling I have right now." I said as I put my head down.

She gets up from her chair and sits next to me.

"Are you okay?" I slowly nod my head. "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Well then, let's change this topic. Tell me..."

I looked up and oh no. That's the face she makes when she's about to annoy me with questions regarding Mr. Malak.

"Oh no Rebecca. I don't need this now." "Oh come on. Just one question please?" "No, Rebecca." "Please, tell me why did you and sir come together?"

Yup. There it goes.

"I picked my head up and held her hands. "Rebecca it's nothing. Trust me." "Just tell me." I really don't want to tell her because if I do... Do I even have to tell you what she's going to say? I mean you already know her.

It's loveeee Pshhhh!

"We just ended up in the elevator together that's all." "I hope you're not lying." "No. I would never." I said putting my hands to my chest in a dramatic way.

She gets up from the chair and heads for the door. "Where are you going?" "I'll be back. I have to take to Amanda about something." "Something?" I ask. She looks back and gives me that "I'm annoyed." Glance. "Yeah something. We have a case together. So I need to work on it with her." She said as she pulls the doorknob.

Why do I feel that sometimes she and Kate are hiding something from me? Do you know something?

*KNOCK KNOCK* Hold on I will have to question you later. Someone's knocking the door. "Come in." I said. I didn't bother to look up thinking that it'd be Essa or Lehman or Khalid or maybe Aisha coming to see me.

I continued turning the papers until one file fell down on the floor. My eyes followed it until it fell on someone's shoes.

Did you miss me?"

That voice....
It sounds so familiar.....
Why? Could it be?!!!
I looked up slowly and my eyes finally caught his face.

I dropped the files that were on my hands onto the ground.

Did my heart just died because I can't feel it beating.
