Anna was resting on the couch, she was alone in this house once again, as Noora insisted and took Maria with her, maybe she again went shopping because that's the only thing she knows how to do, Noora has built a beautiful connection with Maria in all this time, Maria also loves Noora and sees her as an elder sister yet a good friend.
Anna thought that she can rest all day as it's Sunday but destiny wanted something else, she was about to lay down on the couch when her phone rang, this phone is her worst enemy, whenever she tried to do something it always rings on the wrong time,
Anna gaze at her phone's screen and the call was from her office, why they are calling her on Sunday, don't they know it's an off day, Anna let out an annoyed sigh before picking up the call
"Hello?"
"Hello! is it Anna Aif there?"
Aif the name she doesn't want to be associate with her, hearing what the person on phone just called her Anna rolled her eyes before replying
"Yes, it's Anna here!"
"Ok, I'm sending you an address, we need you there by 3:00 pm!"
"Why? where? isn't it Sunday today?"
Anna was confused, why they were calling her now?
"Yes, it is! but we need to talk about your project, there are some errors we found, we need to clear that before proceeding it to work!"
"So? you selected my project?"
For Anna It was unbelievable what she just heard, the project she made was selected? she didn't expect this
"Yes we did, be there at 3:00!"
"Ok.... thank you!"
Anna gulp down her saliva before she tilts her head to the side, her face showed no emotions, it wasn't something normal for her, growing up she barely participated in anything from her high school to college and if she did she was never selected for anything and now this was the first time her work got selected, Anna just let it a deep sigh she didn't know how react
Hanging up the call she puts her phone on the table and stared at it, some questions were roaming around her head,
Do they select her?
Even when her presentation wasn't even perfect!
There were a lot of other candidates who gave an excellent presentation
Why didn't they selected them?
But there was no answer to her any question, she couldn't do anything, even when she was not confident with her idea, even when she was confused, she can't do anything, the chance she was getting was a huge opportunity
she gazes at the time and there was still one hour left, she got up and went to take a shower, getting out she puts her hair in a loss bun, wearing black colored jeans, with a long coat which reached her above her knees, a brown plan tee shirt inside she wasn't looking formal but casual,
She locked her apartment before leading herself towards her bike, but before she could hop on her phone rang once again this phone! won't let her live peacefully
"Hello?"
"Hello, Anna"
A soft voice can be heard from the other side and it was none other than Maria, a smile made its way on Anna's face hearing her sweet voice,
"What happened?"
"Anna, can you come here?"
"Where?"
"Um- here"
A chuckle left her lips hearing the little girl as she struggled in speaking
"Ok, Give the phone to Noora"
"Ok"
Maria replied before handing the phone to Noora
"Hello! Noora, where are you?"
"We are going to ice cream mart! Maria is saying you both went there before!"
"Ok, I have a meeting right now, after that I'll join you there!"
"Ok, we'll wait for you!"
Putting an end to their conversation Anna hang up the phone call before she finally hopped on her bike, but there was something wrong with her bile as it didn't start, she again tried to start but nothing helped, getting down she band a little to check what is wrong, but everything looks usual, standing up straight she frowned her eyebrows,
Why is everything odd today? she was already getting late and now this bike which helped her everywhere was not helping today, she again hopped on band give it a last try, luckily it worked, she started her bike and lead her way to the address
____
Anna parked her bike outside a restaurant and lead herself inwards, stepping inside she runs her gaze everywhere as she tried to look for someone, so she can ask where the meeting was going on, she saw a woman standing far wearing a formal suit, maybe she was the manager here,
But before she could lead towards her and phone rang, this was the 3rd time her phone was disturbing her, Anna let out a breathe, as she looks at the phone's screen, and it was Miss Zoi who called her earlier and sent her the address,
Is she that late? why is she calling again?
Anna picked up and spoke
"Hello?"
"Hello? are you already here?"
"Yes, but I can't find you!"
Anna spoke confused as she can't find them, Miss Zoi explained to her the location before Anna walked there
____
On the second floor, Zain was seated in a meeting cabin, looking down at his phone as if he was doing something important, while In reality, he was just playing some games,
"Sir, Miss Anna has already arrived and she's coming here!"
Miss Zoi spoke as she stepped inside that glass cabin, getting Zain's attention, he looked up and nodded before putting his phone on the table in front of him, leaning back to his chair he puts one leg on the other, While Miss Zoi set on a chair beside him.
Zain's sight was glued on outside that glass wall, a wall from where no one can look inside, but whoever's inside can look everything outside ~
