Chapter 24 | Zain

Zain

"If the distance didn't exist, we would probably be fucking right now."

➽───────────────❥

A WEEK PASSED by with the blink of an eye. Neither Zain nor Kiara were free - Kiara was away to Japan in search for a new perfume scent, after which she would make her way to Sri Lanka and then, India whereas Zain was busy managing the companies in Kiara's absence and also, producing his own music.

None of them talked about that night since they knew that Damien and Nikita posed as no threat to their relationship. The feelings they had for each other were pure and strong, and no one can ever disturb their bond. Moreover, luckily for him, both of them had stepped back from doing anything reckless. At least, that's what they thought.

Zain talked to Kiara every day as she informed him but her discoveries. She had her own sources in the countries who lived in the forests to search for new and beautiful perfumes. Kiara had a keen sense of smell and Zain knew she was searching for something fresh, so, it would be difficult to end the search. She had although promised him to return in a week.

She was still managing the business from there - keeping tabs on the fashion and cosmetic line, ensuring that the wine cellars were working efficiently and the production of the films was on the way. Zain helped her, looking through the files and voicing his opinions to help her with the decisions. Kiara although had her own way with the business, she listened to others but it was her decision to make.

Zain admired the way she worked, though.

She was confident and her board supported and respected her even though she was very young compared to them. They trusted her to do the best for the company.

Zain missed her presence a lot. He hated waking up alone on the bed in the morning and craved for her intoxicating sweet kisses. He couldn't wait for her to come back. But he knew she was a workaholic and he had no intention to change that. In the time he had spent with her, she had somehow managed between work and love life. She was trying and for Zain, she was doing a splendid job. He couldn't be more proud of her.

Zain took off his headphones, finally recording his last song for the album. He couldn't wait to let Kiara hear his songs. He had completed the entire album in two weeks, which was pretty quick but then he had all those songs and tunes in his mind already. He only needed a medium to express. Even Sejal helped him, giving her own inputs but the song sounded like his alone. Kiara had appointed Robert as Zain's manager and she was surely preparing for Zain's music career. Kiara had told him that as soon as she listens to the songs, she will personally look into the video making and the copyright agreements.

Zain had told her that he could look into it himself, but Kiara had shut him up by telling him that it isn't wrong to double-check. Zain was honoured by the attention so he didn't protest. After spending his time without getting any care, he liked the attention. But he didn't intend to misuse it.

"Congratulations, Zee! The music is amazing! You are going to be a hit!" Sejal exclaimed as she grabbed him in a tight hug and squealed. She was surely more excited about this than Zain himself was.

Sejal's taste in music was unique and amazing, that's why she was so popular. Zain liked working with her - she spoke her mind and didn't overshadow Zain's work.

"Now when Kiara comes we need to start working on the promotions. We will release music lyrical video on youtube, enhance your social media pages and get you some magazine shoots. Now, listen to me very carefully. You are a businessman and musician. So, right now, people know you because of your relationship with didi and me. We will be using that to you know, grab you more fans. Then we will post some short videos of your singing, some photos here and there to let your influence build. You are going to attend a lot of events. You need to be very active on all the platforms. I am sure Robert will help you with that." she says in one breath.
