Matters of The Heart

Chapter 4 | Adorable

"Oh my god! Why do you look so dead?" Alia rushes towards my walking dead body and I am not even able to answer her because of my boss's boss who has send me through a great from which I wont be able come out even if they call the best therapist.

"Ms.Mir go back to your seat" our boss warns her in that warning tone and Alia looks at me with a pout but obeys.

I flop on my seat but see my boss rushing towards me with curiosity after sending my friend away for the same reason.

"Hey, what did boss said?" I look at her but divert my eyes down when trauma again hits me.

"What took you so long? Where you making babies with him?" My hand automatically flies up to slap Zach's back when he utters rubbish. And same goes to Alia who has silently crawled towards us as she slaps his back but giggles finding it funny when there is nothing funny in it.

"Astaghfirullah! He is my cousin!" I glare the hell out of him but see him shrugging.

"So? You guys get married to cousin and anyways you did not deny the baby making part" he smirks like a jerk and I look at him with wide eyes searching for some solid thing to break his head with "Yew! Shutup Zach" I slap my face, shaking my head to forget that dirty and haram thought he is putting in my head.

"My head is already messed up because of our arrogant son of nugget boss so you please don't open your filthy mouth" I glare at him but only earn a grin from him.

"What did he do? Did he fire you?" I shake my head when my boss questions me "The presentation on which we all were working—" Alia interrupts "Mr Rags?" I nod with an inaudible yes.

"He wants me to do that presentation" a gasp leaves everyone lips and my boss quickly holds the table for support "Christ, did our boss loose his mind?" She gasps again, insulting me but that doesn't bother me.

"Oh god then we should forget the raise of our salary? Ah I thought of clubbing a whole week"Zach rests back with so much disappointment on his face.

They are acting as if Ziyan pays them a penny for a month. God they are more dramatic than me.

"I thought of buying Mamma a new bracelet on her 43 rd birthday" Alia sniffs behind me, god she is already shedding tears.

I hold my head hearing them complaining and not giving me any moral support.

"Give me a chair you idiots! Can't you see I am going to faint!" Mrs Bran yells and one of our co-worker quickly stands up and lends his chair so she could sit.

"Argh!!" I yell out in frustration "what should I do now?" I turn to look at my friends who is looking down at me with pity.

"I think you should make a solid excuse so he feel pity on you and maybe change his decision" Zach speaks first and I sit up nodding but see everyone nodding their head.

"Boss has said us several times that this collaboration means a lot to him and if you mess up I am sure that will be the last day of you in this office" I nod wiping my invisible tears "yeah it means a lot to him cause uncle wanted to build this Restaurant 3 years ago but everything changed and many things happened in just few days and now finally he was able to approach them and do what uncle was not able to do but he is messing it up by giving this to me! I am scared I am sure I'll mess up everything" I swear I will cry in less than few seconds.

"I understand you girl but you have to convince him that you won't be able to do" Zach gives me some moral support and I nod "I think the best idea is eat some poisonous food and you will get food poison which we lead you to the hospital and I am sure he will not put so much stress on you when you are admitted in the hospital" My boss tells an idiotic plan about which looks proud after saying and I see everybody nods at that "you guys are telling me to risk my life for this? Are you guys serious?"
