Their scheduled flight to Singapore got delayed for a day and so is the Summit due to the typhoon passing by Singapore on the day of their flight. The two spent the day in the office, whilst waiting for the news about their flight.
The person behind the threat is still being solved, the police have no leads at all. The security camera on her apartment was coincidentally down on the day she received the package.
The police are asking around the neighborhood if they saw a suspicious person and so far no one has reported back to the police.
Nesryn was in the middle of working on a contract when a notification popped up from her phone. She picked up her phone and double tapped the message, a satisfied smile appeared on her face as she stood up and went in Azriel's office.
"Sir the flight to Singapore has been rescheduled the day after tomorrow, after the storm clears up" Azriel lifted his handsome face from the surrounding documents around him. A soft smile unconsciously etched it's way on Nesryn's face. The time stood still for a little while between the two.
Nesryn was the first to break eye contact, after looking away awkwardly she excused herself and walked to the office pantry to prepare for his afternoon tea.
Nesryn used the time to calm herself down, to try and compose herself from the unusual tension she shared with her boss. She walked back to the room 10 minutes later with a tray in hand.
Azriel put down the documents he's been rereading for the past 30 minutes now, not really understanding anything written as the words became all jumbled up in his mind. He sat down on the couch as Nesryn placed down the tray on the table in front of him
"I can't seem to understand the document I am working on right now, can you check over it?" he politely asked, as he picked up the teacup and blew it for a little while, to cool it down.
She nodded her head and walked to his desk and picked up the said document, reading it while walking around the office. Azriel just focused his gaze on following her back and forth across the room, an amused smile plastered on his handsome face.
Nesryn took a pen from his desk as she wrote down some stuff on the documents before closing it and tucking it in her arms.
"I will be taking this for now and had the team revise it"
She bowed her head and left the room, Azriel followed her with his eyes through the glass panes till she disappeared in a corner. He let out a deep sigh and focused on finishing his tea and getting back to his work immediately.
When Nesryn didn't come back, he brought it upon himself to clean up whatever he used, so he placed everything back to the tray, walked into the pantry and washed the dishes.
This was the scene that Nesryn came back at, her billionaire boss, doing a mundane chore, in the office! Where everybody could see him.
"Sir, you could have left this here and let me take care of it" Nesryn protested but he just raised an eyebrow "I can do household chores, just not cooking" he said, pouting. She let out a soft giggle that brought a smile on Azriel's face.
The two got home at around 7 pm due to the amount of work they have to do before they fly to Singapore. Nesryn was in the garden, busy talking to people on the phone whilst Azriel was nowhere to be seen.
"Yes, that would be for the best...of course, the president will come…...we'll fly to Singapore once we get the 'okay' from the airport…..yes, thank you very much" she hung up the phone, just to dial another number.
"Yes hello, this is Nesryn Lorcan and I am calling regarding the flight to Singapore via Linus Zenon's private plane.....yes" She was in the middle of the conversation, when a warm fabric wrapped itself around her arms, she immediately turned around, on guard.
Her gaze and stance softens when she sees her boss, smiling at her.
'One second' she mouthed at Azriel, who just nodded. "Understood….tomorrow afternoon is fine?...alright, thank you very much" she hung up the call and turned around, raising an eyebrow towards Azriel's direction.
"I heard tonight will be cold, so I brought you a blanket" he sheepishly said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Thank you sir" she smiled and walked towards the table where she left her iPad, he followed her and sat down. "What was that about?" he asked, taking the iPad from her hands and scrolling through it.
"It's nothing, just the flight to Singapore" Azriel nodded and the two sat outside for a few hours talking about business.
The pleasant talk was interrupted when a maid called them for dinner, the two enjoyed a plate of steak and mashed potatoes. After dinner, Nesryn decided to have a stroll around the mansion grounds, feeling super full from their dinner.
She kept the blanket with her as Azriel went to his in house library to read a book.
She was casually strolling around, sitting down around the fountain in front of the house and just gazing at the starry sky. All great things must come to an end, the peaceful silence was broken when her phone buzzed.
She double tapped the message just to see a picture of her sitting on the fountain, looking up at the sky. Her senses immediately became alert, another message popped up and it said 'I found you' with a knife emoji.
She immediately ran back inside and went to the library "Sir!" she opened the door and her shaking legs finally gave in, as she fell on the floor. Azriel was immediately on high alert as he ran to close the distance between them.
"What happened?!" he exclaimed, Nesryn shakily showed him the phone "I was sitting at the fountain a few minutes earlier…..and I...I received this message"
Azriel took the phone from her hand and looked at it, checking anything to get a clue on who's terrorizing Nesryn's life. He immediately called his friend over the phone and had his guard scour the whole area, inside and outside the mansion grounds.
Every guard was on high alert and so were the maids.
This was the first time that the mansion was threatened, normally it would just be paparazzi trying to get inside to have a chance to speak with Azriel, but this...this was the first time it ever happened.
Azriel was on Nesryn's side the whole night as his friend and other police companions searched the area and the number on Nesryn's phone.
"It's no use, we tried to trace the number but it just ended outside the mansion grounds, no previous call history records have been made" the man said, running a hand on his hair. Azriel kept Nesryn in the library with him, sitting down on the couch on the corner of the room, with the blanket wrapped around her.
Azriel would sometimes give her worried glance as she stared at nothing, without blinking at all.
After a few hours of searching and with no luck, the police left the mansion grounds, leaving behind some people to patrol, with Azriel's permission. He did his best to distract Nesryn, he talked business with her, recommended some books that she might like, in the end he read her a story.
He was in the middle of impersonating a character when he suddenly felt Nesryn's head slumped on his shoulder. He let out a sigh and closed the book "Poor girl, must've been tired" he whispered to himself as he fixed her position, he lifted her leg to the couch so she could sleep peacefully.
He could have carried her to the bedroom but he still has 2 documents left to sign, so he let her sleep on the couch for the time being. Azriel finished the documents in 30 minutes, he removed his glasses and carried Nesryn out of the library and into her room.
He placed a kiss on her left hand "Sleep well Nesryn" he turned on the night lamp and left her room after closing the curtains in her room. He retired to his room, stripping off his earlier clothes and putting on gray sweatpants and heading straight to bed.
Azriel and Nesryn sat in silence inside the plane, their 20-hour flight to Singapore just took off. They left the US at around 2 am and would be arriving in Singapore at 10 pm. The summit won't start till the next day, Azriel wanted to arrive a day early so they have time to get used to things around their hotel.
Nesryn was in the middle of watching a movie on her phone, everything was silent in the plane as Azriel fell asleep as soon as they got in the plane. She was the one waking him every time the meal came, the stewardess didn't dare bother him, only she had that power over him. After every meal she would either return to watching her movie or pulling out some files to read.
No matter where they are, there will always be work with them. Their flight to Singapore is not just for a vacation but a very important summit with all the leading companies around the globe, the summit usually lasts for a whole week. Singapore has been chosen as the host country for their annual summit.
Last time the US was the host and it was a very hectic preparation on Azriel's side. Nesryn shut off her phone and just stared at her boss's sleeping figure. His towering height of 6'3" wasn't able to fit on the chair he's been sleeping on as his feet tangled on the air. He's long, straight black hair, tied in a low ponytail slung over his shoulder.
His long lashes that many women envy, his chiseled face and perfect body was known throughout the entire world. He even trended for 3 months when he was revealed to the media when his father passed down the company to him. Women can't help but swoon over his almost greek god features.
Nesryn had to admit, she did fall in love with her boss when she first met him but his womanizing tendency drove that feelings away. In all honesty, Azriel is a very sweet guy, not just because he knows how to please the ladies but because of how he takes care of his grandmother and his late mother.
A sad smile appeared on Nesryn's face as she remembered the time when Azriel told her the story of how his mother was taken from the young boy.
