- next day -
In the morning I had to leave after Harris did since he had an early meeting, so he had gone ahead, I was getting ready when my notification bell caught my attention, I picked up my phone to see Samia had texted me.
Sam: I have news, lunch ?
Me: I have work today
Sam: I drop by at yours for lunch then?
Me: sounds good, I'll send you the address.

I texted her the address and started to get ready for the day, I went and got ready. Since it's Monday, I opted for something more casual and comfortable while looking work appropriate. I went for light washed out jeans, with a beige top and heels, I matched it with my brown hijab and went for light makeup. (^)

I packed my laptop and some useful files and headed to my car so I could get to work on time. I had arrived 10 minutes earlier than I expected, so I decided to get a latte to wake me up.

I was heading up to Atif's office when I remembered that Harris had all my stuff and a desk set up in his office. I walked towards his office. I couldn't tell if he was inside or not since the curtains were down.

I knocked once, but there was no answer, I knocked another few times, but there was still no answer. I opened the door and walked inside. Well, it makes sense why he wasn't answering. He wasn't in the room. I walked towards my table and put my things down, and saw a note and a bouquet of flowers?

I picked up the note, the handwriting was neat, I started reading the message on it,

I'll be done by 10, don't miss me too much ;)

I chuckled at his note and put it away, picking up the bouquet of pink tulips. They looked so pretty. I  got a vase from one of the cabinets and set them in the vase.

I started working since I had plans with Samia for lunch. I wanted to get some solid about of work done. I grabbed my headset, blasted my favorite group BTS, and started my work.

- °•○•°-
I was so focused on work that I didn't hear the office door opening and closing. Suddenly my chair was spun around, and with the sudden shock I closed my eyes. I opened my eyes when I felt my headset being taken off, and i opened my eyes to see this unbelievable person looking back at me.

"What was that for?" "What?" He asked innocently, "he scared me, and you spun my chair around, I thought I was gonna fall."
"Darling, you should fall for me." "You know you're unbelievable," "unbelievably handsome? I'm aware, " he said, handing me my headset and walking to his seat.

"How's the work getting along?" "I'll have a rough plan completed by the meeting date," he nodded in approval. We both started our work.

It was almost noon when there was a knock on the doo and , Harris allowed them in. His PA made his inside but looked towards me. "Ma'am, someone is here for you," he said, looking at me, I was about to say something when Harris interrupted me, "Who is i" " "They said S.am" I got up, finally she's here, I quickly picked up my bag and closed my laptop and was making my way to the door when he stopped me. He looked towards his PA and told him to leave.

"Going for lunch?" "Yea, " I nodded, "I'm coming too" "but I have plans with someone else." "And you can't have your husband with you? Come, let's go. I'm hungry, " He asked, getting up and making his way out the door with me. I decided not to protest.

We both get in the elevator and press the 2nd floor. He didn't question what I was doing but watched all of my moments. I headed towards the office cafeteria with him still following behind me. I was looking around when I found her sitting at a table.

I ran towards her and hugged her. I didn't see Harris's reaction, but he was quiet and shocked. We both sat down, and Harris sat down beside me.

Samia looked at him weirdly. "Sam,this is Harris, my husband." I looked towards Harris, "this is Samia, my best friend." they both briefly greeted each other.

We were about to start eating and our conversation when Atif had approached our table. "Harris having lunch here?" "Is there a problem?" He said, looking at him, "No, let me join you. " Even before Harris could protest, Atif sat down beside Samia in front of Harris, as it was the last seat available.

He turned towards Samia and tried having small talk with her, but she looked as uninterested as ever, not even bothering him a look. Atif and Harris soon started talking about their stuff while we talked about ours.

"Okay, now tell me the news." I looked at her, "Well, I got a job." "No way, really, omg, congrats. We need to go out and celebrate "celebrations later, but first I need to tell you something else. " "Sure?" "Well ami had found a guy for me and wants me to get married." I was still in disbelief and was looking at her while a certain guy sitting beside her started choking on his food.

Harris smirked while I handed him a glass, and Samia patted his back. "Are you okay?" "Me, I'm perfectly fine," he answered, but now he looked upset. I wonder what happened. Then a thought came into my head, 'Does he like Samia?'

But how can I be certain he likes her, I decided to ask Samia about the guy, "So how does he look?" "Ooh good question, we'll he's above 6ft and he has brown eyes, he has a little stuble. His fit like he goes to the gym every day, and he can cook, " she said, almost drooling at the thought of him. "He sounds great." I kept complimenting him until we both felt glaring beside us, and we both turned our heads to see a pissed off Harris and Atif.

We decided to keep our mouths shut on this topic and started talking about her new job where she'll start working next week.

Once we were done lunch, Samia had to go to some shop to lock something while me and Harris made our way to his office. Atif had excused himself and told us that he'd be back from somewhere.

When we arrived at our tables. Harris started talking again, "Did you notice Atif?" "That?" I asked him, "he likes that friend of yours. " "I saw clearly, bit I can't say if she likes him yet. " "Yet?" "Don't mind me, let's get back to work." we both went back to focusing on our work.

It was almost 6 and we were about to finish up work when Harris got a call, I decided to wait for him, I saw as his face changed, and his face grew pale, he muttered something really fast and ended the call, he grabbed his keys and walked out leaving me alone.

I stared at the closed door, 'he just left, without telling me nothing'. At six, I packed my things and made my way out of the office and into my car. I drove home, but once I entered, it was quiet and empty.

I felt lonely, so I decided to call up Samia. We we're talking for a while when  a certain topic arose, "so you and Harris bhai are on good terms now." "You can something like that?" "Mm?" I told her everything that happened when I started working there, to when he moved my office in his room, our funland date, and my certain emotions. "Do you know you're liking him now?" "I figured, but I'm scared." "Scared of what?" "Confessing. " "gurl, don't be. Hopefully, he really is good and just needs time, but if he does anything, call me up. It'll be my fist and him talking." I let out a chuckle at her remark. I told her I'd call her later and went to freshen up.

It was nine now, I had made dinner and had already eaten while waiting for him. I had called him at least ten times, but they all went on voice mail. I was getting tired, but I decided to wait. I was in the living room still texting and calling him.
