🙋🏻‍♀️ - Areena's POV
🗓️ - October 29, 2022

---

By the time I reached his office, I was a total mess. My feelings were all over the place, and I just wanted to run away.

I took the lift and arrived at the reception, where an average-looking lady greeted me with a polite smile.

"Sir is waiting for you in his cabin. This way, please."

I followed her to his cabin, my heart pounding. When I entered, there was no one except him, standing by the window, looking outside.

"May I come in, sir?" I asked hesitantly.

He turned his gaze to me, his expression softening.

"Just call me Abid, and yes, come in, please."

I swallowed hard. The way he said "please" caught me off guard.

I entered and made my way toward the table, feeling his eyes on me the whole time. I put my laptop bag on his table and sat down. He took his seat as well.

"Would you like something to drink? Tea or coffee?" he offered.

"No, thanks. Just a glass of water, please."

"Sure."

He rang the bell, and a man entered the cabin.

"Bring one glass of water and two cups of hot chocolate."

I looked up at him sharply at the mention of hot chocolate. He gave me one of his charming smiles and winked.

I immediately looked down, feeling flustered. Was he really Abid or his twin?

"I am leaving for Dubai tomorrow, so I set up this meeting in a hurry," he said, and my heart sank.

Oh, come on, this is not the right time.

"It's okay, sir. Where are the other members?"

"They are not invited."

"But...why? There is a meeting today. How are they not invited? Is the meeting canceled?"

"Relax, Areena... Relax..."

He said calmly, and I nodded, trying to steady my nerves.

"I just have to discuss some ideas and important issues only with you... So I didn't invite anyone."

He emphasized the word "you," making me wonder if I was imagining things.

"Okay...so what are your new ideas? Actually, I designed a new banner for the product. Check it if it needs any corrections."

I took out my laptop, opened it, and tried to move it to his side, but he stopped me. I looked at the chair beside me, but it was empty. I glanced around, feeling confused.

"I'm here," he whispered in my right ear. I could feel his warm breath on my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"Show me what you made."
