Well I had signed up to be a lawyer because I had to lead my parent's firm in the future. Being a criminal lawyer I had fought many cases running around to find leads. But never once did I think I would have to break-in like a criminal as well. I regretted my life choices as I stood in the dusty old cupboard which wouldn't even fit one person properly and here there were two of us.
Kabir tried to stay as far away from me as possible. But it wasn't possible, there was barely a one inch gap between us. His hands covered my mouth because two minutes ago, I had made the mistake of shouting seeing a rat which had brought in the guard to check on us.
As the clinking footsteps retreated back we finally released our breath. "So much for nothing." Kabir said releasing me as we stood in a dusty, old cupboard in the storeroom of Hadi's office.
"Hey as far as I researched, the papers should have been here." I told him.
We got out of the cupboard and looked at the room around us. It was so big, it would have taken us a month to go through all papers but thankfully Kabir had narrowed down the columns we would have to search.
I won't lie, there was still an awkward, distant vibe between us due to what happened last week at Dua and Azaan's wedding. But we had decided to put aside our personal problems for our professional work.
I remembered how we had ended up here- for the last week since Mahir had confessed to me about his family's doings I had been digging about the Malik and Aziz case. I had sneaked into both Malik's and Aziz's office and stolen the paperwork of the project that had started the fight. Now the only thing I needed were some specific papers of the Hadi who were involved in this project.
Like the Maliks and Aziz they should also have a folder of their previous projects but I just had to find it, which is what I planned on doing until Mahir banned me from the building yesterday.
That scumbag Mahir Hadi had found out my true intentions when he caught me lurking around the storeroom of the office when I came with pretext of visiting him. He had me banned from the building and had the audacity to threaten me. Of course, I had the voice recording but that wasn't enough evidence on court and I didn't want to involve anyone until I was ready to fight my case.
That was until today- when I saw Dua's family and Azaan's family arguing I decided to show them the voice recording but before I could Kabir blocked my path and brought me out.
"What is on your mind?" He asked me.
"What? What is your problem I was going to do something important." I told him.
"Like what? Steal more files?" His question threw me off.
"I- what?" I tried to act innocent but it was in vain.
