Chapter 18- Freedom..Or Not?

*Azra's P.O.V*

Okay, I have to calm down now. I seriously need to calm down. I need to stop acting like a courageous girl, when in reality Im not. I still curse myself for giving speeches. I indirectly asked him to accept that deal or whatever they call it. I dont know whats 'A' here and whats 'Z' here, but I had to go up in there and tell him what to do. Like, who do you think you are Azra Khan?

But then again, I cant control what Im doing when Im with Zayn. It hurted me to see him thinking hard about that Pal- Paske- Oh, Parker thing. It was a funny feeling inside my heart when I looked at him in distress. I looked around my room and then I looked down at my dress. This is not where I belong. This huge place is not where I wished to be. I wanted to become a famous fashion designer. And look at what Im doing. I may be doing something bigger than what I expected but passion is passion. My passion always was on Fashion Designing, and it will remain there always.

Im feeling uncomfortable here. I miss Afra more than anyone. Im feeling bored. Im feeling lonely. After all what I wished, I had to be stucked inside this strict den, named Corporate. Sure, this room was spaceous, bright, beautiful, neat but its not mine. Theres a difference. I grabbed my phone and unlocked to see the time, and it showed 4:30pm. I sighed, I dont know when I'll go home. I want to go home and stay with Afra more than anything. I just talked to her, asking if she had her lunch or not. Of course, she had it and was having a good time with Scarlett. Completely opposite of what Im feeling over here.

I wanted to scream, because I hate silence. No one to talk and no work to do. Its super boring. I was twirling my hair and letting it go, watching it spring out. I have to do something, I have to- I looked up, as I heard a knock on my door. I was sitting on my desk and I wondered if I should stand up or not. I shrugged, Im the boss's P.A, I'll remain in my current posture. I grabbed a file from the shelf to make it look like I was busy. I smiled to myself, because this is the first time Im going to say 'Come in' for someone. I cleared my throat, "Come in", I called out and mentally giggled. It was fun. The door opened and in stepped a female figure. I looked at her confused, as to who she was. She looked like a model. She was simply gorgeous, "Can I help you?", I asked her, Geez Az, wheres that bitterness came from? She raised her eyebrows and stepped inside completely, "Why would I need your help?", she asked with her face filled with humour as she looked at me. I craned my neck, with my eyes narrow, why does trouble always follow me even when I didnt invite it, "Okay, so who are you?", I asked and she chuckled before making her way over to the lift-up stools in my room and crossed her legs, "Who are 'you'?", she repeated my question, emphasizing the 'you', and I sighed. Okay, this is not the time you have to act like a queen bitch Az, she maybe someone related to Zayn, "Im Mr. Malik's new P.A", I told her and her jaw dropped, "What?! You- I mean YOU?!", she exclaimed, pointing her manicured pointer at me. I remained calm. I mean I had to, "Yes, I am, Any problem?", I asked and she scoffed, "I see nothing in you for being his P.A", she exclaimed waving her hands at me. Okay, that hurt. Calm down Az, "Im sorry, but I cant do anything about it", I said as I stood up from the table and made my way towards the shelf, setting the file back in, "Exactly what I mean, You cant do anything!", she said as she stood up from her stool with her hands on her waist. I gripped the file hard, as I turned to look at her, "Yeah, I cant do anything", I replied as calmly as I could, ignoring the burning fire inside me, "Gosh, why are you so annoying, why are you so...empty?!", she said, more like scolded, waving her hands here and there. Empty? Wow. I wish Alexa, Afra or Elena was here right now. I didnt respond to her as I made myself busy with the files. I had nothing to do with the files, yet, I made it look like Im busy, "Oh. My. God, Malik Corporate's P.A, is so dumb. Zayn's choices are always rich, what happened to him this time? I mean just look at you", she looked like she was going to explode any minute, as she looked at me up and down with disgust. Gosh, her words are so sharp.
