"Good morning Yasmin." Matilda greeted.

"Morning matilda how was your weekend." And that's when she started blabbering about what she did during the weekend.

"How was yours?" She inquired in return. My mind wandered back to the events of yesterday.

**I gasped catching the sight of Marwan struggling with his breath. My legs went on it accord towards the direction he's sitting.

"Mr Marwan are you okay?"  His eyes were red and swollen. Seeing him in this condition made me frightened. I don't know what to do.

"Let me call the ambulance you need to be taken to the hospital" i was about to stand up when a  hand touch my arm, shock shot through my body, this is not good.

"You don't need to call any ambulance check the drawer from my desk, my medication is there." He mumbled letting out a hiss. I did as i was told. I gave him not finding any water nearby, i rushed to the kitchen and fetched a glass of water.

"Here's the water..." I tailed off finding him splattered on the floor. Panic shot through me.

Ya Allah forgive me, i know it's haram to touch someone who is not your muharem.

“Mr marwan.” I called out his name.

Silence

"Mr marwan can you hear me?"

"You should go home I'm okay." He stated in a cold voice.

"Did you take the medicine without water?" i can't help being worried.

"Did'nt you hear what i just said miss Yasmin go home"

He was so quite earlier and now he's back to his old self.

"Okay as you wish but let me tell you better go to the hospital there might be a day you won't have anybody to help you." with that being said, I left the office shutting the door with a loud thud.**

"Yasmin!" i heard the faint voice of matilda which brought me back from my thoughts.

"Yes did you say something?" i totally forgot what we're even discussing about.

"I was asking you about your weekend and you just zoned out, i hope everything is fine." she asked worridely.

“Yeah I'm fine. So how is your hotty crush” i tried changing the topic. I got a hum from her in return.

"Don't even talk about him, I'm  embarrassed after what happened that day." I chuckled at her words.

"What's there to be embarrassed just forget what happened and go on with your life."

After eating our lunch we immediately went to the meeting room as the boss said an important guest is coming so we all have to be present.

"I wonder who that guest is, i hope the guest will be a hot guy like the boss" she started.

And now she's back to her old self.

The room was filled with all employees. We quietly sat down waiting for our boss and the unknown guest.  After what felt like 30mins the door to the meeting hall flung open reaveling Mr Sa'ad followed by the guest.

Wait.. I know him.

Mr Marwan.

What is he doing here?

"Good morning all." Mr Sa'ad began. All the room answered with a morning while my eyes are fixated on Marwan, as if he noticed my gaze on him, he turned his face and our eyes met instantly. A playful smirk forms on his lips.

I think there is something going on with his head.

"As you all are being informed that there would be an important guest, meet Mr Marwan Siddiq the  president of AD hotels who is also my brother." The room went dead silent for a while.

What? brother?

"I know you must be surprised but worry not this is an important guest, he's going to be in charged of the big project as he's more skilled in the field than me." He pat Marwan on the shoulder. They're quietly the same height but Marwan is a little bit muscular than Sa'ad.

"Hello everyone as you've been informed by your boss, this project is a big project which will give us an enormous amount of money and will expand our company more. I'll be here for a short time and i  hope you will all cooperate with me and let's make it a success. Thank you."

"Wow did you see how he speaks so hot." Matilda blurted out.

"Can you keep your voice low, they might hear you."

"I can't believe these two hotties are brothers but i didn't find any information about Mr marwan being Mr Sa'ad brother. They really know how to hide it well." She stated.

"Do you know him?" I find myself asking.

"Of course who doesn't he's all over the internet, search his name on the internet and you will find everything about him including his personal life, I wonder how he takes care of his child."

So many information.

"What happened to his wife?"

"They got separated, after giving birth to their son, since then there was no news about her again, whether she's alive or dead." She let out a sigh "how i wish Mr Marwan will just hire me to be his child nanny."

only if you know the trouble I got my self into.

It was past 7 when i decided to call it a day. I made sure i saved my unfinished work before shutting down the computer. "I will be on my way now see you tomorrow." I bid matilda goodnight who is still working.

"Night Yasmin." She answered back.

A yawn escaped my lips. When i reach home the first thing i will do after praying is to take a hot bath to soothe my aching body. I walked calmly through the pavement. I heard a horn which made me stop admist walk. A black Mercedes drove through my direction stopping in front of me. The glass are tinted so i couldn't see who is inside. I was just about to walk away with the thought of maybe it's a kidnapper or someone dangerous.

The door flung open and there stood Mr Marwan in all his glory. "What a coincidence Miss Yasmin." He spoke up folding his hands across his chest. He always does that maybe it's his habit.

"Yeah a coincidence of following me around right." I said sarcastically. "Is it your habit to follow me around whenever i go. First my neighborhood and now my workplace, just admit it already Mr Marwan."

"Admit what?" His brows cringed in question.

"That you like me." I stated calmly. He let out a loud laugh.

"Who like who? You? Did you look at yourself, you're clearly not my type. I don't like someone who is so arrogant and talkative like you." His words hurt me a little.

What is wrong with me? I know he's a rich man he can get someone who is ten times beautiful than me but still I'm not that ugly.

"You're also not my type you're so full of yourself, rude and arrogant." I stormed off not waiting for his response.

Psycho
