"So you adopted her? That's why!"
"Yeah!"
Zain just nodded his head and didn't ask anything more as he didn't want to make her uncomfortable asking for something personal, Zain had his own questions roaming around his head whereas Anna had just one question now and that was What about Maria if Anna would go out of town for this project then how would she take care of that little girl, Anna didn't want to leave Maria alone here
"Just that, I can't leave her alone here!"
"Hmm I understand- but what about Noora, if you'll ask her, she would definitely take the responsibility"
Zain thought for a moment and An idea suddenly clicked in his mind as Zain utters directly, Anna also tilts her head hearing what he said, he had a point in his words, if Anna would ask Noora for help Noora would definitely gonna help Anna in this matter it was indeed a good idea, Maria would also have no problem living with Noora for one week
"Um- I.... I'll think about this"
Anna nodded and spoke, what she should do she wasn't sure at the moment, getting up from the chair Anna again spoke
"So, I think I should leave"
"Hmm, sure!"
Hearing him Anna lead herself outside
Without a Thank you or any Goodbye, maybe these words didn't exist in her dictionary.
Zain also got up, he just stared at her leaving state before leading his way outside,
Zain was about to get in his car when his sights landed a girl a little far, sitting on her feet, she was looking at the tire of her bike, maybe something was wrong.
Anna was struggling, it did it again, her bike wasn't starting, she sat on her feet and tried to find what was wrong, she thought, maybe her tire was punctured, but no it was all good
"What happened?"
A manly voice came from behind, making her look back up, and there he was standing, being a gentleman he couldn't just leave her struggling alone, Anna stood up and gaze at him, Why was he here now?
"Something wrong with your bike?"
Zain again spoke looking behind at her bike, Anna followed his gaze and spoke
"It's not turning on!"
Hearing her words Zain looked back at her before he nodded
"If you want I can drive you home!"
"No! I can take a cap!"
Zain close his eyes in annoyance, what else he can expect from her, he again opened his eyes after hearing a phone ringing, it wasn't his phone, it was Anna's phone who always rings at the wrong time, she pulls out her phone from the pocket of her long coat
On phone call___
"What?"
"Are you coming or not! we are waiting for you?"
Noora spoke irritated from the other side, they were waiting for Anna for so long now Maria was also getting impatient and was asking for Anna again and again while was here stuck in this situation
"I'm coming!"
Anna just hang up the call, she didn't want to make the call long as a person was standing there hearing her conversation,
Zain was amazed, she literally just said three words and cuts the call, Anna gaze back at him who was still standing there,
Didn't he hear? I said I can get a cap!
She wanted to say out loud but again she just couldn't, but Zain did
"I said I'll drop you! come with me"
Does he think I'm his slave or something?
Zain spoke firm and turned back to lead towards his car, While Anna just stood there thinking, after some steps, he stops his pace as he didn't leave her presence behind him,
"Are you coming or not?"
Looking back his gaze met with Anna who was standing still and spoke but again she was a stone who didn't move from her place, not even an inch, Zain poke his tongue in his cheek and let out a sigh
Having no other option she has accepted his offer, knowing he's the boss here Anna rolled her eyes as she starts to walk towards him with her annoyed face
"What! do you think I'm your driver?"
"Sit at the front!"
Anna was about to open the back seat door when she heard Zain talking, looking into his eyes before gazing down at the ground, she was trying to control her anger, but Zain's orders wasn't helping her
Zain got inside and gaze at the girl sitting in his car at the passenger's seat before he started driving,
"Your address?"
"Just drop me at XXXX ice cream mart!"
Zain's head turned towards her, Ice cream mart? which was on the total opposite side of where they were standing now,
He could have asked the reason why, but knowing he won't get the answer, he just hushed himself and continued driving
"Your bike, I'll tell someone to pick that up from there, A friend of mine, he'll do the fixing!"
The car was on silent mode until Zain broke that silence and spoke looking at the road, Anna turned her gaze towards Zain, his side profile was in her view, she stares at him for a while before speaking
"You don't have to do that! I can take care of my own bike!"
"Give me your address!"
Anna spoke making Zain look at her, he totally ignored what she said and asked for her address
"I said I can do it on my o-"
"I just need your address!"
This was the ending Anna couldn't hold the anger she was carrying all this time, first, he was ordering her, second, he was ignoring whatever she was saying
She turned her face and stare outside the window, she was the most she could do right now, as they say just keep your mouth shut if you're angry,
She wasn't sitting on her property and she didn't want to do anything illegal to her boss~
