Our Crossed Fate

💮 chapter 9 💮

Zeinab POV

I was rushing to get ready because I over slept after praying Fajr my dawn prayers and thanks to my gifted talent of clumsyness I was stripping and falling over. "Ouch" I cried rubbing my butt. I just landed on my butt because my organised self did not keep a pencil on a table.

I wore a simple shirt with jeans and a hijab and rushed downstairs. "Ari let's go or we will be super late" she was trying to put her binder in her backpack and stuffing pancake in her mouth. At that time she was looking like a chipmunk "let go" she said dragging me out.

We arrive at 8:15 am which means we are fifteen minutes late and rushed to our class. Thanks ALLAH that the professor did not arrive we took our seats breathlessly and started laughing like maniacs "we made it" I said giving her a high five and then the lecturer entered and started the class.

Four good hours has passed and my classes for the day are finished. We were heading to the cafeteria to grab something to eat when I bumped into a wall. I was waiting for the impact but it never came instead I was held by two strong arm.

I opened my eyes to be met with a pair of green emerald eyes looking at me "are you okay?" He asked with his British accent while making stand on my feet "yeah I am fine" I replied looking at his face then I recognize him.

It was Logan Sanders the most handsome boy of the college and a man w***e "baby" I high pitched voice is heard from behind him then Olivia Wild appears "not the b***h" I muttered to myself. Olivia is like the Queen Bee of the college her father is filthy rich and she is a spoiled brat. Logan and her are f**k buddies having and on and off relationship.

"What are you doing here" then she cut herself when she sees me "who are you?" She asked before I could answer Logan spoke " I bumped into her and I was saying sorry" she looked at him suspiciously but then she did not push it further "okay you can see she is fine let go" he rolled his eyes and walked pass me winking in the process but his action didn't go unnoticed by Olivia.

As I was preparing myself to go away she suddenly spoke "stay away from him or else.." I didn't give her time to finish and I dragged Ari to the cafeteria with me "what was that?" She asked " I don't know" I shrugged.

We got our food and sat down then Olivia passed glaring at us, me to be precise "you are on her blacklist" Ari says sipping her drink " and I don't care" I replied eating my food.

We were eating in silence when Sky shows up "what's up bitches" she shouts while seating "chill woman you don't want to turn us deaf" I replied smacking her on the arm "ouch no need to be violent" she rubs her arm and pick up fries from Ari "Sup girl" Ari greets her then she looks behind me "why is Logan staring at you and Olivia glaring at you" she asked raising her eyebrow at me "I don't know" I answer continuing to eat my food but Ari tells her everything that happened she turns at me "damn girl you are on her blacklist now" Sky whispers " and as I said I don't care will you leave it and eat?"

They went silent and started eating then a ping was heard I remove my phone from my pocket and unlock it. It was a message from Malik.

Malik: meet me at MA Enterprises with the files Lauren will give you at the office before 2 pm.

I looked it is nearly 1 pm "I need to go guys. Love ya" I yelled running out of the cafeteria going to Malik's office. I meet Lauren in her cabin " the boss said you will give me some files".

" hello to you too Zeinab and here are the files" she handed me a blue folder. I took it and kept it near my bag. I went and did my Dhur prayers before heading to meet Mr Abdallah.

I arrive at MA headquarters at 1:35 pm and I made my way inside. The b***h of last time was sitting at her post I ignored her and entered the elevator. I made it to the last floor "hey Sofia" I greet her as I enter her office " hey how are you?" " I am good and you" I reply "fine. See you later I need to go and arrange the conference room. The boss is in his cabin with your boss" she said while heading out "thank you see you later" I replied going to Mr Alnsour office then I began feeling nervous.

Why am I feeling like this he wouldn't even look at me. I mustered all my courage and knocked. A faint come in was heard and I entered to be met with four hot males ohh God have pity on my poor self I can't all this hotness.

All of them were sitting on the couch in the lounge area of the office with cups of coffee on the table. I didn't recognize the other two men "hey sis" Malik chirped " hey bro here are the files" I handed him the papers "hello everyone" I greeted the others.

"she is so cute" one of the unknown said. He was having light brown hairs and brown eyes. "Hi I am Brandon Black" he extended his hand for me to shake " I am Zeinab Sali. Nice to meet you" I shook his hand but I realised after saying my name his eyes darted to Mr Alnsour for a brief second "you are too cute I will call you Zein-bear" he said pinching my cheeks.

"hey I am not a bear" I replied pouting "but you look like one" he replied squeezing my cheeks "enough Brandon hi I am Alexander Knight you can call me Xander" the other hot guy with brown hairs introduced himself "and I know who you are princess" he said while winking "not you too" I whined like a baby causing all of them to laugh except Alnsour who did not show any emotion. "She is my sis I told you about. Hey come and sit" Malik motioned a seat near Mr Alnsour.

Oh no not near him but I didn't have a choice and sat there. I slightly brush his thigh while sitting and I felt tingling sensation where I touched him.

They engrossed themselves in talking business and I sat there listening even if I did not understand, I pretended.

A knock was heard and Sofia came in "Sir everything is set and they will be here in five minutes" she informed her boss "we are coming" he replied with his deep velvety smooth voice making me swoon inside.

Get a grip Zeinab I scolded myself. "Let go Zein-bear" Brandon says dragging me out of the office "hey slow down or I am gonna show you my amazing skills of clumsyness" I replied earning a chuckle from behind I turn around and see Xander then I glared at him.

We arrive at the conference room number 3 which was on the 70th floor. "So you are Malik's sis" Xander says as we enter the room "yes we can say that" ah okay "I like you would you be my new best friend I am tired of those ones" Brandon says earning an eye roll from Xander "I will love to" I replied grinning like a Cheshire cat and he enveloped me in a hug.

I just chuckle at his behaviour and took a seat waiting for the investors.
