FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 77: She Kept Feeling Uncomfortable

Tasleem's and Auntie U's eyes met each other. 

Tasleem said, "Well, then if you saw her then go look for her. We really didn't see her."

Auntie U nodded. "Yeah, we didn't see her."

Nuab was speechless for a moment. No matter what he said, they were not going to admit it. What more could he say?

Amira was not stupid. She was in the car all this time.

 Tasleem touched her forehead sickly, "Auntie U, let's go home I'm tired." She said,

"Mm, let's go home." They got into the car.

Nuab looked at them leaving coldly. When the door swung open, he could see clearly that a head ducked.

Nuab smiled coldly, 'hmm.. you can escape the first day, let's see if you could escape another day. We'll see, how many more times could you dodge.'

Nuab was about to turn around and leave as he saw a head stretched out from the car window. She made a face at him after they drove a few meters further away.

His friend walked to him and said, "The lady that spoke to you just now looked fine, introduce her to me."

Prince Nuab glanced at him. "That was Rayyan Ahmed Attajiri's wife. If I were daring enough to tell you, would you dare to woo her?" Nuab said.

"D*mn it..." He said, "but... She looks familiar."

Naub glanced at him, "You think so too?"

Tasleem stretched out her hand to pull Amira's head back in. "Don't you go and challenge him and dig your own grave."

Amira chuckled, "He is such an eyesore. I'm glad I pissed him off."

Tasleem sighed, she hoped Amira would not encounter him alone! "Amira, you need to be careful." She warned her.

When they got home, Tasleem went to the kitchen to help Auntie U. However, when Auntie U brought out the fish, Tasleem turned around and ran out.

She had wanted to cook, but... Forget it. She didn't feel too good today. She didn't know if it was because she had eaten too much in the morning, but she kept feeling uncomfortable.

Her stomach churned the moment she smelled the fishy smell. Tasleem rubbed her stomach. Was her stomach acting up? However, it had been a long time since she had a stomachache.

Tasleem went to have a glass of hot water. After she felt better, she wanted to go to the kitchen to try again, but the moment she entered the door, she smelled fish. 

Auntie U, why does the fish smell fishy today?" She covered her nose and sniffed. 

"No, it's the same as usual."

"And this meat, are you sure it's fresh?" She asked.

Auntie U nodded. "That's right. Don't worry, I'm the most experienced in buying meat. I can tell if the meat is fresh or not with one look."

Tasleem nodded. "Auntie U, I wanted to help you, but I'm afraid I'll mess it up. I think... You should do it."

"Don't worry, Tasleem, please go and rest. Leave it to me. Go upstairs and take a nap. You don't look so well."

Tasleem touched her face and nodded. "Then... I'll go up first." After entering the bedroom, Tasleem let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed.

In the afternoon, Auntie U packed a meal for Rayyan and Tasleem prepared to go to the office. 

"Tasleem, aren't you going to eat at home before going over?" Auntie U asked.

It would be almost 1 p.m by the time she finished eating and went over, Rayyan must be hungry."I'm not eating. I'll eat with him over there." She said, and looked at Amira. "are you coming with me to the office?" She asked.

Amira shook her head immediately, "No, no, go and enjoy your time with your husband. I'll go back home after eating." She had been hiding from Ya Rayyan since the day she offended Nuab, knowing he would definitely scold her.

She carried two thermal containers to the office.

In the elevator, Assistant Sa'eed said to Tasleem, "Lady boss, Boss has been waiting for you. He told me to come down at 11."

Tasleem smiled apologically. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, no.. I mean, the boss is looking forward to your arrival."

The elevator door opened and they walked out.

 This time around no one stopped her and everyone was respectful to her, except Secretary Maryam who glared at her with jealousy.

"I'll go by myself. You should go too."

"Thank you for your concern, Lady boss."

Sa'eed watched as Tasleem left, and went downstairs to eat. 

Tasleem knocked on the door and only pushed it open when she heard Rayyan say to go in. 

Rayyan was still buried in his work. Tasleem's heart ached at the sight. "Don't be too busy, come over and eat first."

Rayyan lifted his head in joy when he heard Tasleem's voice. He walked quickly to Tasleem's side and took the thermos from her. When he touched her hand, he felt a chill and quickly pulled her to sit down.

"It's cold outside, I'll go home for lunch tomorrow."

"It's not too cold. You've been in the room for too long."

"Rest more at home and stop running around." He knew that Tasleem must be worried that he would starve in the company if it was too late after she was done eating. 

Tasleem looked at the two stacks of documents on Rayyan's desk. "Do you have a lot of work?"

Rayyan rubbed Tasleem's hands and said casually, "it's alright, not too much."

When he was almost done warning up, he got up and poured Tasleem a glass of hot water.

Tasleem opened the thermal container and took out the food inside. "Come quickly, it's not cold yet." Auntie U made chicken wings, fried rice, and steak.

Rayyan picked a piece for Tasleem first. 

Tasleem did not know why, but when she looked at the alluring and fragrant piece of meat, she felt that it was greasy and her stomach started feeling uncomfortable. She quickly put the meat back in the thermos flask and said, "I don't feel like eating meat."

Rayyan put down his spoon and reached out to touch Tasleem's forehead."What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" He asked, because he knew that only sickness could stop Tasleem from eating meat.

Tasleem shook her head. "No, I'm on a diet." She said, "I'll eat the fried rice."

"What are you dieting for?" He asked. "You're perfect like this."

Tasleem smiled. "Just eat, It's a girl thing, you wouldn't understand." 

It was a simple lunch, the two of them chatted as they ate. 

If an outsider came in at this time and saw them, they would definitely leave silently, because there was no room for a third person between them. It was the kind of feeling that even a mosquito could not be accommodated, that no one could step in.
