It was nice meeting Kareem's sister but I instantly became very bored. I wasn't impressed by the expensive food nor the lavish silverware.
I tried to keep my mind busy but I was lost in my head thinking about Amir.
It was nice to see Kareem's kind dark coffee eyes, and his pearly white teeth when he gave a charming laugh.
However I missed Amir's blazing green eyes, his husky laugh he gave when I was being stupid, and even how petty he was that time when he told me how his Id tag could open any door and wouldn't let me use it.
I just in the end to take a taxi home and let the regret consume me knowing that I left Amir and didn't even know if he fixed the issue at the company.
I didn't know what I was thinking when I left him there. I just felt slight anger that he left so I just decide to go with Kareem. I knew that my inner self was trying to get Amir jealous in a way.
I'm such an idiot.

"Enjoyed your fanatics?" Amir rose a brow as he stared me down.
I barely stepped into his office and he's already on fire. "What?" I said before going into my stacks of papers finding out what papers I was supposed to have him sign.
"As my assistant you were supposed to stay with me yesterday. Not venture off with Romeo." He gritted. I could easily see how irritated he was. And he was very irritated.
"I'm sorry, I got-"
"I don't want to hear about it Malak." His eyes pierced right through me.
I bit my lip. "I guess I'll just give this to you and please sign them?" I put the papers on top of his desk, in front of him and then bolted out.
I instead went to the restroom. While I was in the stall I overheard too girls walk in and get very chatty.
"They have had to be together. I mean he gives her special treatment." One said and I frowned. Who were they talking about?
"Well he's angry at her today." The other laughed. "He is so hot it doesn't make any sense. Can't we report her or something? She's basically hitting on our team leader?"
I felt my stomach twist. I knew exactly what they were talking about. It was me and Amir.
The other one snickered. "That's a great idea. Let's get her out of here and one of us will have to be promoted to his assistant."
I felt afraid now to go out of the restroom. Even though I wasn't completely sure who they were talking about I 99% believed that it was me.

I took the bus today and then missed it because I had to stay a few minutes behind to help Amir set up the new designs on the wall.
I honestly think he did it on purpose to torture me for what I did yesterday. We were all alone in the office and he was still ignoring me.
"I missed the bus." I say to myself hoping Amir would notice and let me go so I could catch the second one.
He didn't even turn. So I said it a little louder. "Oh no I missed the bus!" I pretend to freak out.
