"What is it Maria?" I question the girl who is stuttering and not replying "Sir, Max is upset seeing the resignation letterâhe is not accepting it and he is demanding on meeting you now sir" she tries to be as professional as she can while her voice is stuttering which tells me she is scared seeing this side of Max.
"Hmm, I will be there in few" I cut the call with a sigh, as I was expecting this behaviour from him from the way he was behaving since past few days.
Within few minutes I reach my building and the guard rushes to open the door which I have said him already not to do, but he always rushes up to open the door and since I don't like to repeat things twice I thank him when he does that always.
Just when I was about to enter I see Zach entering with a bored expression on his face but one thing I like about this guy is, he is always punctual and he is good at his work, I guess I should ask Maria to search more about how he is in his office.
Even though he talks rubbish he is good at work just like Ziah and that is something I appreciate.
When my employees eyes drops on me they quickly rush to greet me and I nod while mumbling a good morning back.
I reach my floor within 5 minutes where I find a distress Maria walking back and forth "Sir!" She rushes towards me, even though I have spoked to her very little she still looks excited everytime she talks to me but this time she is rushing not because of excitement but because of, fear?
"Max Sir is in your office he is really upset, he even tore the resignation letter" I need to put some sense in this guy's head, with nod I walk towards my cabin.
"Could you please grab me cup of coffee?" I politely ask her and she nods with a yes sir and I get in after hearing her answer, only to find a distressed Max phasing out.
"Good Morning" I greet him and he gets startle hearing me. "Sir!" He rushes towards me with a panic on his face.
"Sir how could you do this to me what did I even do?" He questions me looking on the verge of crying. Well he should know what he did.
"You did nothing except leaving the office without informing anyone or asking my permission and by not showing up the next day. And I am sure after working under me for more than 2 years you clearly know that I hate Unpunctuality and you did exactly that and sorry to say but that forced me to fo this" I look at him straight into his eyes while telling him calmly but see disappointment and guilt flashing in his orbs.
This is not the only reason I am removing him, the other reason is I don't feel Ziah will be safe when he is around so I don't want to trust anyone now.
"Boss if you fire me how am I going to pay my sister's hospital bills, please don't do this with me boss" he literally begs which for a minute made me weak but No I can't act like a girl here getting all emotional at things, I need to think maturely.
"Listen Max, you are a great employee, I doubt I will get someone as amazing as you anytime soon, but I am sorry I won't be able to change my decision, and as far as what you are being concerned about is I guess should be cleared up by now, please check you Mail" I tell him and he gulps but takes his phone out with his trembling hand.
His lips tremble as he looks at me, "One of my friend was searching for a nice secretory and I am sure he wouldn't get someone like you so I suggest him youâso yeah, the result of my suggestion is already there in your phone, All the best I am sure you will do great their, and you will be paid a nice amount too" I give him a small smile of encouragement but his eyes moistens as he stares at me.
"But I will not get a boss like you" he whispers, and that really breaks me. I stand up to be close to him.
"I am sorry bud but you can come and meet me whenever you want" I tell him and he nods deadly at me.
"Please let me work here I won't ever take a leave without your permission next time, please" He whispers looking so broken.
"Max.." why the hell is this so freaking difficult! A sigh escapes my lips as I was about to say no but he holds my hand and cries.
"Goodness Max" why the hell is he crying?! "Okay okay calm down I'll let you work here with me your not going any where, calm down" I feel like a mansitter all of a sudden.
He is literally crying and I am panicking here.
"Really?" His eyes lits up and he quickly squeezes me in his arm that I feel so uncomfortable since I have never confronted anyone accept Ziah.
"Max" I pull away and he with so much hesitation leaves me.
"Look Max If I am letting you work here then it doesn't mean you can take advantage of it. And I am talking what happened the other day. You know I am married to Ziah right? She is my wife and no one can change that, so it's better you tell your sister as soon as possible before she gets any other thought. I hope you understand what I am saying because what Irene said had me for a second and I hope it was just a dream which vanished soon" There is no point in telling him this but I said just to see his facial expression and I see his jaw hardening as he glares at the ground. But he tries his best to keep his posture.
"I am sorry Boss for what happenedâ" I cut his forced words off "It's okay, Now within five minutes bring my schedule here or else Maria is taking your place" I playfully warn him and he lets out a chuckle nodding as he rushes out.
Removing my coat I take a seat with a sigh. This is so difficult, even if the stalker is not sending me any pictures since last few days I doubt he is silent.
"Grandma get down this is the office" I point at the tall building as I open the door. My grandma shakes her head and sits up straight before opening her purse, only to pull out big sunglasses and after blowing on each lenses she wears it.
"Go open the door for me" she tell in her cold strict voice to keep the posture of a posh women.
I roll my eyes till the back of my head if possible but do as she asked me too. She waits for two seconds which also included in her list of acting like a posh women.
And then she throws her legs out before pushing her body up only to bang her head on the roof of the car, a gasp leave my lips and she curses under her breathe while rubbing her forehead.
"Ya Allah grandma, are you okay?" She speaks quickly "Yes I am, now move" with a proud look on her face she shoo-es me away. I don't understand what happens to this women all of a sudden.
We are now entering the building where I work because grandma wanted to see how her grand son in law looks while working, she really gets on my nerves sometimes.
"Grandma he hates when someone disturbs his working time" I whine feeling frustrated because of this grandma of mine who is ignoring me very casually.
If Ziyan yells or glares or scolds me for interrupting him like he always does I am not gonna talk to him for the next few hours. I am his wife now I have some respect.
"Ya Allah!" A gasp leaves her lips as grandma grabs my arm to stand still when her heels which she stole from me slips. "My goodness, throw these shoes away they are not nice, this is the second time I am embarrassing myself" she gives me a good glare but I roll my eyes at how stupid she sounds to me.
"If you wear my heals which is not your size it's obvious you will break you head" I steady her as I speak but only receive a slap in return of my favour.
"Take me to my son in law" she starts walking again while people look at her oddly, well who in the right mind wears sun glasses inside a building.
"Come here hold my hand, I see everything dark in this building" she grabs my hand and pulls me forward and with a proud look she starts walking to the right when we should take left.
"Grandma not their here" I pull her towards the left and she groan irritated "why didn't you say me that before? Where should we go now" and that's how we reach Ziyan's building with so much difficulties cause grandma again tripped on her steps while getting out of the elevator, and the first thing she did was look at her right and left before hissing in pain when she assures herself that nobody saw her embarrassing moment accept me.
"Max" I wave at Max who looks surprised by my presence "hey!" He give me a smile like always and I leave grandma alone as I walk towards him.
"Where is boss?" I question him and he points at Ziyan's cabin. "Is he in a meeting?" He shakes his head at my question and I quickly open my sling to give him a chocolate because I love giving something, his cute face cannot be resisted by anyone and I am no special to ignore his cuteness.
Before he could politely decline I place it on his table before rushing towards mamma who is looking at everything with her chin up, a posh women act.
"Grandma that's Ziyan's cabin let's go" I do not wait for her answer but all of a sudden I am feeling excited to meet my husband who is being extra sweet with me.
Without knocking I open the door but see his eyes snapping at my direction but a amused frown makes its way on his face "Hellâ" his amusement frown drops with a millisecond and it change into a confused one when grandma enters behind me "âlo?" He completes but clear his throat as he stands up.
"Grandma?" He eyes her from head to toe before a chuckle leaves her lips and I press my lips to not smile knowing the reason behind his chuckle.
"Hello son!" A grin breaks on to her face and she rushes to hug him only to trip and fall in his armsâsorry?
Ziyan looks at grandma with wide eyes but that women is smiling shyly. Please he is your son in law for godsake. My insecurities are not for no reason.
"Grandma, in your age you shouldn't be tripping and fall like this you will get and heart attack and you don't want to meet Allah so soon right so keep your posture" I pull her away from the shocked Ziyan who clears his throat when this old women shyly smiles.
"I am sorry" she quietly tells but slaps my arm shyly "Ziah's grandpa used to hold me just like this when I become clumsy at times" she fiddles with her dupatta and Ziyan is looking at me with the eyes that tells what shit is happening here but I only glare in return.
"Grandma take a seat I'll order something for you both" Ziyan tells us to sit and without thinking twice she takes a seat on the couch while admiring the painting hung on the wall and the awards he received.
But Ziyan takes a seat on his chair and I walk towards his desk with an obvious pout on my face which I am trying to hide.
He lifts his eyelids up when I stand beside him with my back resting on the desk. I fold my arm feeling so annoyed for no reason.
A chuckle leaves his lips as he shakes his head and starts typing whatever shit he types.
After 10 minutes of me standing quietly while looking at the wall and grandma chirping with Ziyan who replies with simple words, finally grandma stands up.
"I'll go take rounds of this building" she informs Ziyan who nods "Ziah darling come with me" I roll my eyes not at all feeling like being her tour guide.
"Can you go alone grandma, I am feeling tired" I tell her and my voice comes out low and quiet.
"Oh...It's okay darling, I'll grab someone on my way, you take care, I forgot Ziyan must've drained your energy last night, you take care" the way my heart jumps out when she casually speaks so much but waves towards us as she walks out.
Ziyan takes a peek at me and I am trying my best to ignore the butterflies which are playing hide and seek in my stomach.
A chuckle leaves his lips when he sees me avoiding any eye contact, this grandma knows very well how to make someone feel awkward.
I press my back against the desk, flinching when he stands up and towers my height.
"Did I tired you yesterday sweetheart?" He questions me in such deep voice that my whole body is shivering already. Goodness his voice and he.
"Umm yes" I mumble but I hold my breath inside when he takes a step forward as if we were standing miles away when the fact is I am pressed against him.
"Yes?" He repeats with amusement "If your tired when I did nothing then I guess you will faint if I actually did things" my eyes widens at his shameful talk, so casual I was not even in my mind how can he be so casual.
"Shutup" I mumble hitting him on his abs but he chuckles and takes me into a hug.
"Did you miss me so much that you where not able to stay away from me for more than three hours hmm?" He swings are body from one side to another but snuggles in the crook of my neck as he whispers but pulls away with a groan "remove this" he points at my hijaab and I shake my head "No its perfectly set" he gives me a glare before proceeding on removing it himself, he ignore my whine and within few seconds my hijaab is removed and he is now siding my hair to the other side before snuggling closer.
My heart is shaking up at our proximity and at how he is effortlessly being intimate. Gulping down the lump forming on my throat I press my lips to not let out any odd voice when he leaves feathery kisses all over my neck.
"Wrap your hands around my neck sweetheart" I hesitantly do as asked but gasp leaves my lips when he holds my waist and lifts me up like I am kid before setting me on the desk.
"What the hell?!" I glare at him but he shrugs as he stands in between my legs.
"Why do you look so beautiful today hmm?" He whispers looking at me and I am blushing so hard that I can feel my hot cheeks, I do not dare to look into his eyes but I only admire his shirt button which looks so smooth to me.
He lifts my chin up and I gulp my saliva when our eyes meet "My eyes are here Ziah" he whispers as he leans forward to kiss my cheek.
I gather some courage to atleast mumble some words out "You-You are making me shy" I mutter under my breathe before throwing my arms around him like a mad women to hug him and not show him my face.
He laughs out loud but pulls me closer if possible as he gently rubs my back to calm my raising heart down which I know he can clearly hear and feel from the way I am pressed against him.
"I am making you shy, isn't that a good thing?" He questions me with some curiosity in his voice, I shake my head as a reply "No?" He looks amused but hums in response.
I enjoy the hug which I am secretly loving since it has no standing, I hope he gives me this type of hugs every time.
"I will" a gasp leaves my lips and I snap my head up at him with wide eyes. "Did I say that out loud?" He looks confused as he raises his eyebrow "what?" He questions me still confuse and I shake my head quietly. Am I hallucinating things now? When did I really became mas that I started hallucinating things.
But he cups my cheeks gently "You face is so tiny in my hands" he speaks with a smile and I giggle nodding "your hands are big" I grins at him and he chuckles nodding.
His eyes looks so soft as he stares at me with so much softness in his eyes that I am melting.
"Why do I feel like only complementing and pampering you today?" he leans forward to peck my nose tip before kissing the corner of my lips.
His lips are so soft yet rough that I am shivering at his touch.
"When can I have them?" He whispers rubbing his thumb on my lips, I nervously bite them but hear Ziyan groaning internally "Dont do that" he mutters as he pulls my lips from the torture of my teeth.
"I can do that for you" goodness, I am dead, I can feel my soul slowly leaving my body, this is not the Ziyan I know, who is this? Why is he being helplessly romantic.
"When can I have them Ziah?" He again question me and I am not even able to speak I feel like I lost the ability to speak, my breathing is so heavy at this mental and physical torture but I don't know why I closed my eyes and after a pause I part my lips to speak "Anytime you want" gulping I wait for his reaction but my heart literally attacks my throat when his lips touches mine.
He gives me a gentle kiss before taking my lips in his to kiss me as if his life depends on it, me knowing nothing on how to kiss I squeeze my eyes shut while holding his collar tightly in my fist as I do nothing but take the pleasurable torture he is giving me with so much love.
He tilts his lips to deepen the kiss before sliding his hand up to my nape while his thumb caresses my earlobe.
He pulls away to let me breathe "I never regretted anything before but today I regret delaying our marriage" before I could even understand his words he presses his lips against mine.
And this time I try copying his action only to feel a groan vibrating throwing his chest.
His kisses our soft and gentle yet so intimidating.
He kisses me as much as he wants and I do not even stop him because I am enjoying this as much he is.
Later he gently pulls away but caresses my swollen lips and I open my damp wet lashes to look at his beautiful features.
I look down feeling so shy that I am cringing on myself for feeling so shy. "You are addicting sweetheart" He pecks my lips as if he cannot resist staying away from kissing me.
"So will I be treated like this everytime I come to your office hmm?" I squint my eyes at him but he chuckles looking down at my lips.
"Today you are in my office as my wife so you are treated as one, when you will enter my office as an employee you will be treated as one" he logically speaks and I whine giving him a glare.
"That's not fair" I shake my head and hums thoughtfully "So what is fair sweetheart?" He raises his eyebrow with some fake curiosity.
"When you always treat me like you treat me today is what is fair" I tell him clearly, if he always show so much love them I would easily get away from work.
"So your telling me you want me to kiss you whenever you come to my office, don't worry baby when you leave after submitting your assigned work I'll do that for you" he teases me but I gasp in shock at his words.
"I didn't mean that!" It comes out a little loud and Ziyan's eyes furrows up "So you're telling me you don't want me to kiss you? You don't like my kisses? I am disappointed hearing that" I quickly shake my head when I hear him ad my eyes widens when I see clear disappointment in his eyes.
"I didn't say that! Your an amazing kisser!" Shitâthat sounds so wrong! "Really?" He looks amused "I don't believe you" oh god what happened to him now, he takes a step away and I whine holding him close.
"I didn't mean that" I pout and he takes a peek at my lips "Really?" He still looks unsure so I nod before leaning forward "see how my cheeks red, I enjoyed kissing you" I shyly utter some unholy words.
But hear him chuckling with dome amusement "I know baby" he speaks with a smile on his face and it's my turn to frown.
"How? This is my first time saying you, does that mean you haveâyou have kissed someone before" I slap my mouth shocked but I see him rolling his eyes.
"The little noises you make in the back of your throat tells it all sweetheart" he again pecks my lips and I grin feeling embarrassed.
The room fills with Ziyan's laughter who is enjoying this so much, well I am enjoying it too.
Oh my goodness! I love this Ziyan! I hope he never change! I can feel all my after married life wishes coming true.
A week Later
I happily wear my hijaab ignoring Ziyan, my husband who is staring at me while sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You look so excited" he mutters with a glare and I nod grinning. "I Am excited" I grin but hope towards the grumpy looking guy.
He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me into his lap and act which he loves doing since we started getting intimate with each other.
"I hope your getting excited for work and nothing else" His voice stern and scary as he is telling me with his voice to mutter an 'yes' but I am in a playful mood so I tease him a little.
"Nope, I am excited to meet my friends, Alia, Zoe and Zachâ" a gasp leaves my lips when he stops me from speaking further with his lipsâfreaking hell.
He slides his hand in the hijab to hold my nape and give it a squeeze which makes me gasp at the way he is so skill fully doing everything.
"If You don't want to spend the rest of the day in bed with me then you better change your words baby" he whispers running his thump on my lower lip as he gives me a sinful look, why does he look so hot and intimidating when I look like I need Inhalers.
"I was thinking of changing your department, what do you think?" A gasp leaves my lips and I quickly shake my head "No please! I'll concentrate on work only and a little bit on you but no one else not even my friends, I promise" I give him a tight kiss on his cheek and he chuckles shaking his head.
"Hmm good to here but what ifâ" I quickly cut him off afraid of him changing my department "there is no if'sâmy eyes are only for you" I say with creepy smile but he nods with a chuckle while pecking my red cheeks.
"Ill be waiting down come fast" he pats my back asking me to stand up and when I did he palms my tummy as he looks up "Come fast" he mumbles before standing up and leaving.
I rush towards the mirror to give myself last touch which was fixing my hijaab and my dress, I am so excited to finally go to my office after weeks!
After having breakfast and after Ziyan making sure I ate properly, we leave to the office and within 20 minutes we reach the building.
"Okay bye" I wave at him but ignore my phone pinging with messages.
Okay why are everyone so excited in the group.
I ignore the messages since I need to take my phone from bag so I quickly rush towards my floor where I surprisingly find everyone...well we are late today because of Ziyan's hormonal issues.
Giggling at my thought I open the door wide "Good morning!!" I yell rushing towards my friends and co workers but I stop on my track when I see some glaring at me while throwing me some disgusted looks while my friends are looking at me with...pity?
But what I noticed was everyone are watching something in their phone.
What's wrong?
