When the devil keeps on asking you to look at your past, there must be something good in the future he doesn't want you to see.

I tap my fingers in rhythm at my lap. What was it? Desperation or was it nervousness. I'm not very sure about my feelings but I am sure about the outcome I guess. It didn't take a genius to figure that out.

After the heck of a revelation inside the elderly lady who I got to know now was the head of the interviewing department, asked me to wait outside while they talk.

I have been waiting for their decision for almost 30 minutes now. They weren't even inside now. All of them walked out to go somewhere and on their way, all of them stared at me but the only person's eyes I could feel was his. That steel grey eyes had me hooked.

I even got up to ask Dan where they went she said she had no idea. Is it dumb enough of me to still think I would get the job? But why should they care who my family is? I'm not a part of my dad's company and after my internship, I am not going to join OAK. I wanted to start my own business, I didn't want it to be a huge empire but I wanted a small business that I open by myself. This was not her dream, this is mine.

I rub my hands on my face and look at my phone to see a message from Osman and Bhabi.

Xara B-Mika honey, How is it?

Xara B-did u get the job?

Xara B-Is ur interview still not over?

Xara B-reply fast!!

The above messages were sent by bhabi but I didn't find enough energy to send a reply so I opened Osman's chat and found only one message. One question that I've always wanted people to ask me. one question I'm not sure about. But I still reply.

Ossie-U good?

Me-I guess...

I keep my phone inside my purse and just then Dan comes.

"Hey Mika," She grabbed my hand and pulled me up "Let's go I'll take you to the board room, You were called. Come on girl." She dragged me while I tried keeping up with her.

Board room? called me? what's going on?

"Dan, what's going on?" I asked freaking out.

She stopped in the mid hallway and turned towards me, grabbing my shoulders, "You will be fine, okay?" She stressed her point and I just nodded while she comforted me with her smile and grabbed my hand again.

We walked towards the lift and she pressed the button while we waited. There was someone else sitting at the reception desk.

I was freaking out but kept calm. Whatever happens, happens with Allah's will. That calmed me down considerably as we stepped in the lift.

"Did you ask someone to take your place to guide me? I'll be fine Dan." I say but she just laughed at me.

"No girl, I was taking Anne's place in the morning because she had to use the washroom."She said which made me gape at her. Oh.

"So what is your actual post?" I ask her.

"I work in the finance department, I'm the vise head and hence Arsalan got angry when they spoke like that with me."She said as the lift opens on the 39th floor. We walk forward to a single huge door.
