The night went just like that, no even a single word, no one dared to talk again, and it was morning again, the heavy rain that was falling everywhere, was stopped, the sun rises, shining bright
A man sleeping with his head rested on the back of his seat, opening his eyes in slow motion he tried to get his vision better, sitting straight he looked to the side just to see no one beside him, he panicked a bit and looked back, a sigh left his mouth to see Maria sleeping there on the back seat of his car,
Zain cracked opened the door and stepped outside, looking around, he saw a girl standing not so far, he leads his way towards her, just to see that her long black coat was no more hanging on her shoulders, maybe she left it in the car and Zain didn't notice it,
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!"
Standing there looking at her back Zain greeted her, while Anna greeted him back calmly, she didn't flinch nor she got startled by his sudden voice, Zain stepped beside her and spoke again
"I thought you left!"
"I would have if Maria wasn't sleeping!"
She couldn't get a little sweet not even once, what a straight answer, Zain just stood there with his poker face, and close his eyes in annoyance, and turned his face to the other side
"Hmm, right!"
"As soon as Maria would wake up, I'll take her with me!"
Zain looked back at Anna just spoke with her icy voice, he wanted to say something but stopped himself and just nodded, knowing whatever he would say won't change her mind

"You know our company is having a big project out of town!?"
Daniel spoke making Anna disturb, as she looks at him who was already looking at her while leaning back to his chair.
It's been 2 days since that night and Everyone was back to normal, Zain was planning about the project as I'm they had to left after a day, Noora has taken some clothes of Maria as she had to stay in her house with her for one week, Sherry didn't seem to find anywhere, while Anna was doing her work as usual, whereas Daniel was also doing his work, as usual, making Anna annoyed by this nonstop talking.
Hearing his question Anna just nodded as she was about to go back to her work Daniel again spoke
"Do you know the person who got selected?"
Daniel had no clue that the person he was asking about was sitting in front of him, yes Anna, she was the one whose idea got selected and she didn't even tell him or anyone
"Yeah!"
"Really you know? that's a surprise, how come you started knowing other people's things"
"My idea got selected!"
Daniel was chuckling at Anna until she spoke, as his eyebrow got frowned while his jaw hanging low, what he just heard?
"WHAT! YOU? and you didn't tell me anything wahhh what a friend!"
He spoke in dejection, while didn't care at all, she didn't have any reason to tell him before, he asked and she uttered
"And How come Zain knew about Maria is not your real daughter! you didn't even tell me that! do you even think of me as a friend or not?!"
Daniel was mad now, yesterday about Maria he was the only one not knowing anything and today she did the same to him,
"What do you want?! I had to tell him because it was necessary, I wouldn't have told him otherwise!"
Finally, Anna spoke Making Daniel a little calm, he let out a big sigh and his mood changed just like that
"You know what! I just our boss likes you!"
Just like that, as soon as his words come out of his mouth, Anna turned her gaze to him and stare at him, her sharp eyes didn't hide, she was mad now
"Can you hear yourself what you're saying!"
"Yeah yeah got it!"
Daniel just rolled his eyes before going back to his work, he just senses the fight and he didn't want that here in front of everyone.
"So you're going too?"
Not after too long, Anna again heard his voice, she can't do anything, that's just him, he can't keep quiet,
"Yes!"
"When?"
Without sparring a glare at him Anna spoke just to get another question mark
"A day after!"
"For how long?"
Unending questions, whats she hates the most is someone asking questions questions and questions
"One week!"
"Ahh, so I'd be bored for one week!??"
All conversation long Daniel was looking at her side profile and Anna was looking at the desktop of her laptop, even tho Anna wasn't an energetic, or exciting person she still matched Daniel's vibe, being the total opposite of each other, they balanced the atmosphere well
"Miss Anna, you need to go to the meeting room in 5 minutes!"
A girly voice came, getting their attention, As a girl stood in front of Anna's desk as she spoke in a professional way, asking Anna to go to the meeting room, maybe they had to discuss about something related to the project.
Anna just nodded, indicating her that she is going as the girl left the cabin, Anna turned her eyes back to the man sitting beside her as Daniel also gaze back at her before nodding his head, while Anna got up and went
________
Stepping inside the meeting room as there was no one yet, maybe she came here before time, walking towards a chair she sat down comfortably, leaning back on their chair, her head up as her sights look at the gray ceiling, one leg resting on another, sliding her chair a little distant from the table as she puts her long legs comfortably, a breathy sigh left her mouth, she was feeling peaceful inside until she heard someone talking,
"It's a meeting room, not your living room!"~
