Hello everyone! 3-4 days extended into a week, sorry! But anyway, it's here now, so enjoy!

Nida's POV

Ever since Abeer joined, he changed everything! Like all of our schedules and working hours and even cabins! He made me change my cabin. So now my cabin is right in front of his office. Good thing he didn't change Amna and Noor's schedules. We all have the same working hours, but now we are not right next to each other anymore.

Today, I had tons of work. First I had a freaking two hour meeting, then I had to go to construction site for like 4 hours, and then when I came back and though I must be going, Abeer's secretary barged in my office and announced that before I leave I must check all the two hundred and twenty files and see what changes need to be made. Two hundred and twenty files! By the time I was done, it was past 11, pitch black outside

"How on earth am I going to get home?" I asked myself once I was out the building. I don't even have a freaking car. Amna and Noor don't have one either. Haye Allah! Ghar toh 30 minutes dhoor hai yehaan se. ab kya karoon? I raced my mind to someone I knew who could possibly pick me up. Hussain! Nahh! Wo nahi ayega. But then koi aur bhi toh nahi hai.

I took my phone out and dialed his number. Seconds later he answer, "Hello?"

"Uh...hi. Nida bol rahi hoon." I said hesitantly. There was silence for a couple of seconds until he spoke.

"Oh hey, what's up?"

"Um...I need a ride home; can you pick me up...? Please don't say no! I am outside the building in this dark alone and- " however I was cut by his scream.

"What tum akeli ho? Pagal ho? I'll be there in 20. Wahi rehna, don't go anywhere" With that he hung up.

20 minutes. Tab tak kya karu? I took a seat on the steps of the building and started going through my phone. I called Amna and Noor letting them know when I will be coming back home so they don't get worried.

All of the sudden, my belly started grumbling. Ah, I should have eaten that nasty sandwich Noor bought. I tried ignoring the sounds and tried focusing on my phone, but the grumbling didn't stop.

"Well, Hussain did say it was going to take him 20 minutes and barley 10 minutes passed so why don't I go get a cup of coffee?" so I shoved my phone in my purse and walked across the street and bought myself a cup of coffee. I sat there and drank my coffee and ran back to the front of the building thinking Hussain might be there now, but he wasn't.

I huffed and started walking back and forth. I sat back down and waited again. Several minutes later, a car that was passing by slowed down and stopped in front of the building. Finally he is here.

I got up and walked towards the car but halted in my tracks when a muscular guy with ripped jeans, a tank, and a whole lot of tattoos on his arms came out of the car. By the look, I could tell he is not the type of person I would like to bump into.

"Hey lovely lady...saw you sitting there all alone...need company?" he asked in a nasty tone as he walked closer to me. "Wanna tag along with me? Just you and me?" I tightened my grip around my bag. I gulped as his dangerous eyes traveled up and down my body. Feeling uncomfortable, I turned around and started walking away.

I heard his footsteps following me so fastened my pace. But all of the sudden, a strong arm grabbed me by my elbow and turned me around. "It's a good deal you know." his face dangerously close to mine. "Lemme go!" I tried pushing him away but he didn't move nor budge.

He grabbed me by both of my arms and pulled me closer to him. His nasty alcoholic breath fanned my face. "Let me!" I yelled as I struggled to get out of his. He smiled and dug his head in my hair and took a deep breath. "Hmmm...smell so good." Now I had tears in my eyes.
