Megan sighed.
Sure enough, Yanis didn’t show up at the office until noon.
Megan thought, “Looks like Zain didn’t take care of things properly yesterday.”
The receptionist hadn’t lied to Megan that day and told her all about Yanis’ conversation with Zain, and Megan didn’t think Yanis would be so angry as to come to the office over a woman’s words.
And even if he was, it had nothing to do with Zain.
Megan and Yanis had known each other for so long that she knew Yanis never took it out on anyone.
So it was all about that party.
Megan left Yanis at the party that night, but instead of leaving, she saw Zain take Yanis from a distance, and Zain seemed jealous at the time.
Megan thought the two were going to be together.
After all, Zain had been single for many years.
But one night later, everything changed.
Megan wondered what happened that night to bring their relationship to a standstill.
In the afternoon, Megan went straight to Zain’s office.
-Come in.
Zain’s voice was cold and emotionless.
Megan walked in and stood in front of the desk, flipping through papers, and said, -I want to talk to you about this project?
-You can decide for yourself,” Zain interrupted her, tapping his fingers on the desk.
It was the first time Megan saw Zain so impatient that she didn’t even want to listen to her.
Then he closed the folder.
-Mr. Zain, I don’t want to offend you, but your condition has seriously interfered with your work, so I have to ask you what’s wrong.
Zain frowned in disgust, but he didn’t get angry, he just said coldly, -Sal.
Megan smiled and didn’t move.
-Mr. Zain, I think I know women well enough to help you.
Zain looked at Megan with some doubt.
But…
Zain said, somewhat lost and tired, -Leave me alone.
Megan thought she could convince him, but he refused her offer.
-Well, then you can keep it that way, but as your secretary, I am always at your disposal.
After leaving the office, Megan rolled her eyes in the direction of the office.
And cursed to herself, “You deserve to be single.”

Nathan saw Yanis very depressed in the restaurant and asked her what happened to her, but Yanis said she was fine and asked her not to come back.
Nathan kept silent and then asked the others what had happened during her absence.
They did not know much, but they told Nathan what had happened in the restaurant recently, and Nathan remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
-You often come to help because you like Yanis, don’t you? -One of the waitresses said, plucking up her courage.
Nathan froze and then nodded without hesitation.
-That’s true! But Yanis seemed… – But Yanis did not say anything else, so as not to disturb Nathan.
Instead Nathan smiled.
-You mean he doesn’t like me?
The waitress nodded hesitantly and then added, “No, I’m sure you can get Yanis!
-Is that so? -Nathan said helplessly. I hope so too.
Unfortunately, he had less and less time and did not know what would happen when Alice had the baby.
In the afternoon Nathan had to leave again for almost half a month, so he went to say goodbye to Yanis.
Yanis nodded when he heard this, “Good luck with your trip.
Nathan smiled sadly, “Maybe things will be different when I return, so can I give you a hug?
Yanis stared at the handsome and kind man who, despite her rejection, had never blamed her.
She wanted to refuse, but finally nodded.
-Thank you.
Nathan immediately stepped forward and wrapped her in a hug.
Yanis felt her cheek against a hard, warm chest and heard her heart beating loudly.
The warmth of his embrace enveloped her.
But Yanis knew better than to do that and tried to break free.
But before she could move, Nathan squeezed her waist.
-Yanis did not know what to say and was a little out of breath.
Nathan suddenly released her, then smiled and touched her head.
-I’m sorry, I lost my temper.
Yanis was speechless.
-All right, have a good trip.
Nathan stammered something without uttering a sound and finally said helplessly, “Okay, then I’ll go.
Maybe it was an illusion, but Naomi thought she heard the man say “wait for me”.
