SHUMAYLL 

I growled because i saw what he was doing 

Now, I am not a jealous person, jealousy is a feeling that comes from what you don't have, i am territorial, whats mine is mine. PERIOD! 

"Shumayll" she whispered shakily and Alex smiled warmly at me 

Iqra pulled her hand away from him and turned away, walking out of the office 

I glared at Alex and he smirked at me 

he had no idea what he is getting himself into!

"Is there a problem?" asked Aleya and i shook my head 

"Nothing- I would like to speak to Ms. Ibrahim for a brief moment-" i said and Aleha nodded 

I walked out of the office and to Iqra's desk 

she set there, shocked and silent 

unlike her 

"Iqra-" i said firmly and she did not look up 

"Iqra- you heard me- look up- i need to talk to you-" I said and she still did not look up 

"Damn it Fluffy!" I muttered and she looked up

Her eyes were glassy, she was at the verge of tears 

"Follow me outside" i said and she nodded, standing up 

We walked side by side outside and stood by my car with Tara 

"Iqraar, you alright?' asked Tara and Iqra nodded smiling at her 

"He shouldn't have, he did not have the right to-" said Tara and Iqra chuckled lowly 

"Its fine, a greater power is with me-" she smiled and i knew it was about Allah 

that girl was into Islam too much, Masha Allah 

I remember she was the reason why i began praying daily- until i realized why prayers were important though- 

"Alright- be safe, I will see you at lunch" I said and she shook her head

"I can't- I have work" she said and i glared at her 

"Sure as if i don't! but lunch is important- i know you will not eat-" i said and she nodded absentmindedly 

"Listen Iqra......" i said and she looked up to me 

Tara had gone back into the office to see the receptionist about something 

Her eyes bored into mine and i smiled at how much vulnerable she was

"No one can hurt you as long as I am there!" i said and she nodded slightly dazed 

"No one-" i said and she smiled slightly 

"Now, lunch?" i asked her and she nodded 

"I will message you-" i said and she nodded again 

why can't she just speak?

"Allah hafiz" i muttered and she finally spoke to reply 

i saw her retreat into the boutique and then walked to my mercedes 

"Get in, Tara" i said and she chuckled before getting in 

I started the ignition and headed out of the car park
