Chapter 8

"She sent me here. I wasn't interested in coming though," Komal muttered, rolling her eyes.

On the screen near the entrance, both Erum and Zoya exchanged glances as they observed her.

"Oh, please. Just ask that robot-thing at the gate," she added, her tone dripping with boredom.

Zoya turned to Haelin and ordered, "Let her in."

With that, the door unlocked, and Komal stepped inside. The moment she took in the sight before her, a single word slipped from her lips.

"Wow."

Her eyes roamed the vast, well-furnished house, admiration dripping in her expression. "You guys have a really nice place," she remarked.

Then, her gaze landed on Erum, who stood in front of her with her arms crossed, one eyebrow raised in suspicion.

"If you're Dua's cousin, why didn’t she mention your arrival?" Erum questioned.

Zoya added, "And what exactly are you doing here?"

Komal, unbothered, wandered further into the hall, still examining her surroundings. "She had an accident, and I cam—"

She barely finished her sentence before Erum and Zoya’s voices overlapped in shock.

"ACCIDENT?!"

Realization struck Komal like a wave, and her eyes widened. "Oops," She raised her hands in mock surrender. "She told me not to tell anyone," she admitted sheepishly.

Zoya and Erum exchanged another glance, their expressions darkening with concern. Without wasting a second, Zoya grabbed her phone and tapped on Dua's contact.

"We need to hear this from her," Zoya muttered as she pressed the video call button.

The phone rang twice before the screen lit up with Dua’s face. She looked a little pale, but otherwise, she seemed fine.

"Hey, what’s up?" Dua greeted, raising an eyebrow at their serious expressions.

"What’s up?!" Erum snapped. "We just found out you had an accident! And you didn’t even cared to tell us?"

Dua’s eyes widened briefly before narrowing at Komal, who gave a nervous chuckle and looked away.

"Komal," Dua sighed, "I literally told you not to tell anyone."

Komal shrugged. "It slipped."

Zoya leaned closer to the screen. "Are you okay, though? Like, really okay?"

Dua smiled reassuringly. "I promise, I’m fine. It was just a minor accident. I just need some rest."

Erum folded her arms. "Then why did she come here like it was some kind of emergency?" pointing at Komal.

Komal huffed, crossing her arms. "Because someone had to check my business! And since no one else knew, that little mouse knew about my whole business upcoming deals."

Zoya asked, surprisedly. "This girl deals with business, this little balloon."

Dua chuckled. "She’s dramatic, but she is so damn intelligent."

Erum sighed in relief, shaking her head. "Next time, just tell us yourself if anything happens, okay?"

Dua nodded. "There is a 'Deal' she had to complete. And Komal, please try not to spill every secret I tell you." Dua glared are her.

Komal smirked. "No promises."

With that, Dua ended the call, leaving Erum and Zoya still processing what had just happened.
