Matters of The Heart

Chapter 23 | Baby

I look confused at everyone who are looking odd in my eyes, I took only a week off and they look so shocked as if I died and came back, like the rumour of a celebrity which I heard when I was small and me being a stupid believed that rumour of that big fighter dying and being alive thrice in his life time. Life seriously?

"Hi?" I raise my eyebrow confused and Zach quietly rushes towards with a bright smile but why does it looks forced to me.

"How are you buddy?! Took you too long to miss me" he gives me a playful glare but before I could give him a playful reply my boss of the department walks forward.

"Ms Omen" she starts again with my wrong name and I am tired of even correcting her now.

"Boss please think twice before speaking" she gives a very stern glare at Zach who does not hesitates to return one with same intensity.

What is happening?

"You better keep your mouth shut if you don't want to loose your job" she mutters still glaring at him and I gulp feeling scared at the way she looks.

A chuckle leaves Zach's lips as he stands infront of her "I dare you to do that" a gasp leaves everyone's lips and I myself is shocked seeing him acting so bold but Zoe and Alia quickly rushes towards us.

Alia comes and stands beside but Zoe pulls Zach away from me "What are you doing? You know how scary boss is right, so shutup and stand here, Ziah can handle what she did, you be quiet" That's what I heard but I see Zach looking at her in disbelief and here I am confused so much that I just want them to tell me the scene that's happening so I can react atleast.

"Listen to your girlfriend Mr Zach Evan's, she has the brain which you left at home" after barking at Zach.

Mrs. Bran walks towards me and stands only a step away "How was your vacation Ms Omen?" She Starts as she raises her eyebrow in a mocking way "I- It was good—-" I gulp when she cuts me of with a glare "So what was this vacation you took for? To learn how to be a bitch—Oh wait maybe you know that already" my eyes widens into the size of the globe at the 3rd degree Humiliation. Zach growls looking so angry whereas Alia is gasping with already tears in her eyes and Zoe glances at me worriedly at time to time.

"Sorry?" What is she saying? "I know you are boss's cousin, but it doesn't mean you can sedu—" I blink my eyes concentrating on her words to understand what the hell is happening when loud voice interrupts us.

"Ziah!" My head snaps to the door where Ziyan is standing looking all breathless, he looks like he has ran miles to reach here and behind him a breathless Max joins him.

"Yes?" I raise my eyebrow confused but see his Adam apple bobbing "Boss you don't have to worry, I am handling her" Mrs Bran speaks quickly and I blink my eyes at Ziyan confused, what will she handle? What did I even do?

"I-I did ask boss permission and took a week leave, I have even send you the mail" I look at the old woman, expecting that would be the reason why she is upset. But why would she call me a bitch.

I flinch back when she glares and scolds me "Shut up! Just keep your mouth shut don't act like an innocent rat now" I gulp my tears back but tightly hold my bag to look less nervous.

"What the hell?! Women you shutup before I shut you up!" Zach moves forward but Zoe holds him back. I wish he listens to Zoe and keeps quiet because I don't want him to get fired because of me.

Even if Ziyan does not fire him, she has many ways to throw us from this building.

"Your name?" Ziyan walks towards us with his hands tugged in his pocket and with an expression which clearly tells he is very angry, he asks the women who is insulting me for no reason.
