"So you did barge in our team dinner uninvited, wow!" They were all taling a stroll near the beach after dinner, irha and liyana were walking slowly behind the others when liyana asked and irha looked at her squinting her eyes.

"And wait! I just cant believe you tried to hug boss!" Chuckling liyana added.

"And you were impudent enough to interfere!" Irha said glaring at her.

"Bohat maza aya!" ( I enjoyed alot!)"  Patting irha's shoulder liyana said mockingly.

"Whats wrong with you? Why do you even care when you dont even like Izhaan?"
Pushing away her hand irha asked.

"The issue is I like my boss very much!!!" Pouting liyana said clearly.

"No use! He likes me!" Irha replied instantly.

"Well then I have no other option to remove you from my path. Let me aknowledge you that I am the kind of person who oathes to get something then can go to any extent for that."
Taking out her little lipgloss from her pocket liyana said calmly and applied it on her lips.

"Are you telling me that you are a psycho?" Irha questioned.

"Yeah! Exactly thats what a doctor once told me....so be careful!"
Shrugging her shoulders liyana said with a smile.

"Alright cutie, best of luck!" Nodding her head at liyana's words irha said and walked away joining izhaan and liyana had also rushed towards them quickly.

"Izhaan whats the reason behind your joints success?" In between other talks irha had questioned. They were all sitting on the benches now.

"Hmm, well I am lucky to have an amazing manager and she is the reason!"
Looking over at liyana izhaan had said proudly and patted her head as usual and smiling a goofy grin liyana cocked her brows up looking at irha straight into her eyes.

"And also all of my team! I am proud of them all!" He had further added and smiling irha nodded.

Liyana where were you since the morning?" Upon entering her house she saw her mother in an enraged mood.

"Ama i was busy with work. " putting away her bag she said.

"Work? I cant understand whats your need to work without completing your education. You said you will only work 2 hours a day but i guess you are only getting 2 hours free from the whole day." Her motjer said angrily.

"Ama.." liyana whined.

"Li, leave this job asap. I dont want you struggling like me. Working on low jobs. I want to see you successful. You are excellent at everything  you do and i want to see you working in a big firm someday not in some little joints."
Holding onto her hands her mother tried to make her understand.

"Mom, trust me its not little. It will grow. Please let me do this..." liyana said.

"Li i just want the best for you but I know how stubborn your are."
Saying this her mother had walked away. Liyana knew all too well how upset her mom was but liyana was trapped, trapped in izhaan mustafa's trance. She could never leave or abandom him now.

________

"Whats wrong liyana, you are never this silent?" The next day after off Izhaan had asked. They were now walking together towards the metro station.

"You noticed?" Adorning her face in a smile she asked.

"Hmm, now tell whats wrong?" Nodding he replied.

"Mom is upset, she does not want me working with you. She says she wants to see me grow big, work in a bigger firm." She said and izhaans face had gone pale.

"Tell me somethining honestly, did you agree on giving me a job because it was my choice and I was insisting or something else?"
She questioned looking over at him and he sighed.

"I needed you! " he replied and she smiled.

"Am I being selfish? I ah dont know how to console" shrugging his shoulders he said.

"That just consoled me and wow you were brave to say the truth..."
Smiling she said.

"Tell your mom that obj will be a big firm one day so she shall not worry."
Looking ahead izhaan said calmly.

"I am betting my life on you boss! Dont let me down!" Chuckling she said and rushed towards the metro as her route train was about to leave.

________

"Sir Izhaan plans on franchising OBJ." Irha told mr shahzad pasha and he nodded.

"Hmm, I am proud of you Irha! See ramiz thats how she is. She always listens to me and when I asked her its time for action instead of words she obliged." Mr shahzad pasha said happily and told his son ramiz who scrunched his nose in the mention of Izhaan mustafa.

"Irha whats your take on this matter?" Mr shahzad asked gettinh serious.

"Izhaan mustafa is very sturdy sir, once he sets a goal, he accomplishes it, no matter how long it may take." She said truthfully.

"Ahaa, he is a fool with too less resources dad!" Ramiz said instantly and irha's blood shot eyes shot to him.

"He has a  very strong weapon sir." She said gritting her teeth.

"And that is.?" Mr ramiz asked.

"Liyana saqib, his manager!" Opening up liyana's account she placed the screen in front of the father son duo.

"She is only 20! What can she do? He is a fool to hire her.!"
Ramiz mocked.

"Sir she is a media influencer, a blogger. Plus she is very strong witted, has a good outlook on buisness, she is marvelous, trust me."
Looking over at shahzad pasha irha said clearly.

"These are exact same words I use for you irha!" Mr pasha said smiling.

"Thanks sir!" She said.

"Okay we will do something about this but tommorow I want to visit his joint and see things for myself."
Dismissing them mr shahzad said and irha nodded.

______

"So we are making alot of profits right?" After a hectic day the joint was now at peace. Izhaan was making the calculations when liyana asked.

"Yup!" Smiling he told the amount.

"Hmm you agreed on giving me the percentage, now dont back away.." she said chuckling.

"Never! All this credit goes to you, even if I wouldent be making anything, I would still pay you."
Patting her head he said and she smiled .

"Boss, maam irha, mr pasha and ramiz are here!" Maaz had come and declared while liyana's face angered hearing irha's name, izhaans color drained listening to mr pasha's name.
Getting up he went to see the three settled on the table.

"Liyana take the order yourself, maaz and haris serve very efficiently and raina, i will join you in the kitchen today."
Instructing his team he got into action. Liyana already had an idea thay he was not on good terms with the Pasha's but now she felt more curious.

Decorating her face with a smile she headed to mr Pasha and asked for the order, suggesting him some best things to try very professionally.

Raina and Izhaan himself had prepared the food and liyana had garneshed everything with eztra dose od chese for the look and taste.

Mr shahzad pasha had eaten very fully, completely finishing everything served.

"I had expected more from you Izhaan, especially when you go out declaring that you want to overpower my buisness and become no 1 in food market. This is not the calliber."
Mr shahzad said arrogantly and liyana wanted to go and smash his face but she stood rooted on her spot just for her boss's sake.

"I will be there where I intend to be, no matter how long it may take mr Pasha! Step by step I am coming up and that is whats bothering you!"
Smiling he said calmly.

"Hmm, i am ignoring you because of your fathers sake." Mr pasha said.

"For my fathers sake? Then you should be bowing down here and apologising and mind it I will make that happen one day!"
Izhaan said, his eyes red with blood.

"Hey! Know your place and then bark!" Ramiz had interrupted.

"You! Shut up! And get the hell out of here!" Glaring at Ramiz Izhaan yelled.
This was the second time liyana had seen him this angry.

"You will regret it! " warning him mr pasha was out of the joint.

"Boss!" Liyana voiced out.

"Hmm..." looking over at her he said.

"You shouldent have put up a fight. Ignoring these kind of jerks is better ."
She said.

" you are right but I want mr pasha to think of me as a foolish jerk or a kid! I have plans accordingly."
Saying this calmly he was out of the joint.

"Boss where are you going?" Quickly rushing behind him she asked.

"For some work." He replied hastily

"Professional or personal?" She asked and his steps halted.

"Why?" He asked

"Can I come along..." making a doll face she asked.

"Dont bother " he replied .

"You said we can go big if we all work together, and now you are hiding things from me. Plus my mother says i am very intellectual and intelligent, so I can help you around, please...." she pleaded.

"Fine tag along but its abit far. Will you be comfortable?"
He asked raising his brows but before he could say anything she had held onto his arm.

"Lets go!" She chuckled and finally he managed to smile.

The trip was of a lifetime for liyana. The bus ride to sharjah Izhaan had opened up about his life to her. The relation he had with the pasha's, the struggles he beared after his mothers death. The time of prison. His goals, everything and she felt all his hurt and pain deep in her heart.
He was strong and calm but she was falling apart. A lone tear had escaped her eyes and given her a stronger bond with the man sitting beside her.

She had oathed right there in her heart that she will never leave him no matter what! She will be by his side, always supporting and makibg OBJ a success and bigger then pasha.co was her dream also....

Slowly gathering up courage she held his hand and raked her fingers over a burnt scar on his arm.

"What happened here?" She asked, her eyes and voice wet. He looked at her. After ages he felt someone worry about her this way. Someone understand his pain!
"Got a minor burn while working in an oil factory." He said truthfully pushing back the harsh memories.

"Does it hurt?" She questioned.

"Not anymore but instead gives me courage." He had replied.
And in their conversations they had reached sharjah and completing their work quickly headed back.

On the way back liyana had fell asleep and seeimg her look so innocent in sleep and sleeping in an awkward position izhaan held her head in his hands and placed it on his shoulder so she wouldent sprain her neck.
He smiled seeing her snuggle in.
