Love? OR Politics?

Together?

"Email it to Mr.Hamid", he said in his business tone. "Okay sir", she nodded and started to type the email to Mr.Hamid about the case meanwhile Sohail stole glances at her.

"Seriously this man won't even let me have a break even when we're on road.....like I just got in the car and we're on our way to Murree and all he does is talk about work....its not that I want him to talk about other stuff but let me just have a peace of my mind....you I could've had a peace of my mind if we weren't to go on this stupid trip to Murree regarding his so called work. I could've stayed at home lying on my bed watching Netflix just like every other normal human being..........", she was in her own train of thoughts when Sohail snapped his fingers in front of her face",earth to Miss.Ahmed".

"Yes what is it sir?", she asked by faking a smile.

"Nothing .....have you sent the email?", he wanted to make some kind of conversation between themselves.

"Yes I have", she replied curtly and turned her gaze towards the window to look at the beautiful scenery. "It is better to look outside than to look at him....and look who's getting all friendly ...huh! seems he's up for a conversation", once again she was having a mind talk with herself.

"Is there something wrong love?", he was not liking one bit of the ignorance which Anum was giving him.

"Hun? no and don't you dare call me that....boss or not but just stop calling me by this or any other name..........its only Miss.Ahmed to you", she said while pointing her index finger at him. Sohail was shocked to see this,"looks like somebody is not in the mood", he spoke with a glint of amusement in his tone.

"It would be in the best interest for the both of us if you would keep it professional", and with that she resumed on looking out the car window.

"letting it go right now love...won't happen next time though." With that being said Anum glared at him for a second and huffed,"I hope we reach there soon....I can't tolerate this for long."

Sohail was pretty much hurt by this remark but he tried to mask it and took out his phone, turned on the camera and brought it up in the air so that way Anum's face could be captured in the camera. Sohail was persistent today on making her talk to him and guess he just found out a way to do it.

The clicking of the camera alerted Anum and she turned her head to see the source of the sound and it was like someone just stole something of hers in her mere presence as she was fuming with anger. Her face color resembled that of scarlet. Sohail had never ending a smirk on his face.

"What the hell did you just do did you take my picture?"

"Oh God no why would I do that? You're not the kind I would take a picture of", he replied acting all calm.

"Ouch- that hurt", she spoke to her inner self.

"What ever but I just heard the clicking sound of the camera and might I add that it was facing towards me so I assumed that you might have taken my picture", she replied confidently.

"Oh so the if the camera was facing you that means I took a picture of you", he questioned with amusement and with that smirk never leaving his face.

"Someday his face is going to be smacked so hard by me cause of this stupid smirk of his", she murmured to which Sohail  raised his eyebrow.

"I just have a feeling that you took my picture and let me see it if you haven't then", she said while folding her hands near her chest.

"Very well if that's the case then here you go,"he said while scooting a little towards her side to show her the picture. She looked through the pictures file which he opened for her to see in. She looked through that folder but didn't see her picture and she looked at Sohail questioningly. "What", Sohail said with his both hands in the air. "Are you sure that this is the folder where all your camera pictures are ....I mean all the ones which you take from your camera....Is there any other folder ?" Before Sohail could answer her she spoke again, "Oh let me just check the other folders too...in case."

"What...NO-no", he replied quickly and snatched his phone from her hands. "There is no picture of yours that's why you can't find it", he spoke this time a bit calmly.

"Ookay- if you say so", and she once again started to look out the window.

Sohail sighed in relief. "Woah that was close man", he thought to himself.

***************************************************************************************************

"Anum...Anum", he tried to wake her up by jerking her shoulder.

She moved a little while still sleeping. "Anum love please wake up", this time Anum abruptly opened her eyes and sat straight up. "Didn't know you liked this endearment so much for yourself......or else I would've done that in the first place", he said to her with a half smirk forming on his face.

"Ughh--whatever I told you not to call me with that thing/ name-ish .....", she spoke while waving her hands confusingly in the air as she didn't know what to call it.

Sohail thought not to push it so tried to dismiss the topic and spoke with a stoic face,"we've reached so would you mind getting off the car so we could get going." He did so as he was now around people his side of the car door was opened and the servants were standing there along with the other staff of the rest house they were to stay in.

Anum nodded and got off the car and made her way in to the rest house towards the reception. "DO they have receptions in rest house too?" she asked herself acting all stupid for a second but then brushed the thought away and focused on staying mad at Sohail for his bipolar attitude and also she wanted to go to her room as soon as possible because she didn't want to be anywhere near Sohail.

She heard foot steps following her but refrained from looking back as she knew very well who it was. "Anum .....wait!", Sohail called her from behind but Anum payed no heed to it.

"Hi I'm Anum Ahmed Mr. Sohail Khan's secretary. I've booked us two rooms may I have the key to my room please.", she said while smiling toothily.

"Ah-yes but I'm so sorry Miss. Anum as we've got only one room .....you see its summer and nowadays there are a lot of tourists here so we're all out of rooms except for one....", the receptionist spoke with a sorry look on her face.

"You're what??", they both spoke with wide eyes in unison while the receptionist just smiled and shrugged a little.

"Why didn't you tell me this before hand?" Anum interrogated.

"I'm so sorry Miss.Anum for the in convenience I thought you two were together so I didn't bother informing you ", the receptionist said a bit hesitantly.

"Are you kidding me right now", Sohail roared while slamming his fist on the desk to which both Anum and the receptionist jumped a little and the rest of the staff stopped all their work, having all their attention to the scene happening in front of them currently.

"Sir- sir", the receptionist tried to talk but Sohail cut her,"Oh don't you sir me ....I'll get you fired this instant", Sohail said and called the manager but Anum stopped him and took him to a corner.

"Sir please don't do this to her...Its not her fault I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding .....don't fire her please", Anum tried to reason out with him with pleading eyes. Sohail sighed and nodded to which Anum smiled genuinely.

'Okay lets go take that damn key then", Sohail said while going towards the reception but Anum stopped him again. "Si- sir I-I can't stay with you in--in the same room", she spoke while closing her eyes a bit to much as she was scared of him right now because him shouting at her was not even the last thing she wanted right now.

"I know...I mean lets just take the key and freshen up a little then we'll look for rooms some where else okay....I wont bite", he said coming a little closer to her and bending a little so that he could be at her eye level while Anum nodded and took a few steps back.
