To say Areef was shocked was an understatement. After offering this big deal, Miss Ahmad walked out on him. The lawyer with him looked scared as he nervously fidgeted with his fingers.

''Mr. Imran, I no longer require your services"

"But sir, please sir. I'll do better sir...."

Before he could finish Areef walked out of the office. He saw Airah getting in her car just as he left the building. The way she sped out of the gates scared him too.

He got in his car and drove to the only place that can calm him down.

AIRAH

She drove like a maniac as she hit the road. A lot of people honked at her reckless driving. She wiped her face as she drove trying to get tears out of her eyes. She called and informed Amal to meet her at the park.

surprisingly Amal reached before her.

"Besty am, what happened? Are you okay?" Amal asked as soon as she came out of the car.

"I'm fine Mal, just having a bad day at work." She told her.

Amal held her and they sat on a bench. "Look, bes I can not help you if you dont tell me what is wrong. The way you sounded on the phone did not sound like a bad day at work. Did he say something wrong? about what happened last night?"

Amal felt heartbroken all over again. She felt fresh set of tears roll down her face. And she broke down in Amal's arms.

After she let all the tears fall she got enough strength to tell Amal what transpired today.

Amal looked horrified. She looked so sad and obviously angry as she clenched and unclenched her hands.

"So Areef Ridwan Kasheem wanted to use you and pay you like a wanton woman? Does that man has any conscience? Would he be okay with another man offering the same deal to Deedee?"

"Amal don't use Deedee, His whole family are better than him. He is like a totally different person from them. I dont know what will happen but I cannot work with that person anymore."

Amal held her hands saying, "Of course you won't, We should just tell Abba and Ummee the truth so that they will know its not your fault for quitting."

"No! we cannot tell them Amal, It might destroy the relationship between them and The rest of the Kasheems Family."

Amal rolled her eyes then sighed before nodding in defeat.

"Fine but you will not be working for that man anymore. Ill fill out an application for you in my work place."

"Thank you bes. I dont know what I would have done without you." Airah hugged her.

The house was located in the outskirts of Abuja. In a secluded area, No one would have thought it existed because the walls are camouflaged.

Areef was sprawled on the couch knocked out by the marijuana he had taken. He had to calm down before he does something that he would regret later. That girl Airah is really trying to make his life miserable.
