CHAPTER TWO

Meenah moved closer to her and pulled her into a hug for some seconds, she pulled away and looked into her eyes.

"What are you saying Fateemah? We were already friends from the moment Lailah introduced you to me." She said as she collected the gift from her.

"Can I open it?" She asked as she stared at her with her bright eyes.

"Of course, you can." 

Fatimah is also from a wealthy family. Despite being a rich princess, she also works with a multinational company.

Meenah cut the ribbon and opened the box. In the box was a female Rolex wristwatch that cost around six figures. She was stunned, she couldn't believe a friend she met not quite long could give her such an amazing birthday gift. She looked up at her and whispered a thank you.

Lailah walked up to them with three gift bags of different colors and sizes." These two are from my two brothers and this one is from my humble self." She grinned as she raised the pink gift bag for them to see.

Meenah looked at her suspiciously." Are you sure it is not something terrible you put there?" She inquired.

"Is not what you are thinking babe." She said as she cleared her throat. " This is a gift I sincerely picked for you."

"Ok! Let's see what you got for me, darling." She said as she stretched her hand to take the gift from her.  She opened the gift bag and saw something like a net.

"Is it a mosquito net?" She asked as she brought it out to take a proper look. She was stunned to see the net-like sleeping dress. Sleeping with this is as good as sleeping naked. She thought to herself.

She turned to her friend who was grinning from ear to ear. " What's this for?"

"For your first night, you know. Since you need a husband, you can as well keep it."  She chuckled and gave Fateemah a wink.

They were amid their shenanigans when Meenah's phone rang out. It was a call from her partner, from the match-making section. She moved to the other side of the room to answer the call because of their noise.

The name of the guy is Jaybee, she doesn't know if it's his real name or nickname. About a month ago, he started following her on her social media handle, he comments and likes anything she posts. She noticed him and she decided to do a background check on him.

 She found out that he is a friend of her Ex-boyfriend on Facebook. She felt suspicious about everything and decided to play along with him and see where it will end.

Unfortunately for him, he called her for a meet-up last week but canceled it, saying that something popped up, and rescheduled it for today.

If what she was thinking is the truth, then he is going to regret Messing up with her. She smirked as she thought of how she will deal with him.

She walked up to her friends to tell them about her date. She will be going to Bella palace for their meet-up, and she will head home from there to prepare dinner. Dinner has to be ready on or before six.

Fatimah and Lailah decided to tag along with her since they have nothing to do at the moment, and because Meenah is traveling to her hometown the next day, they decided to spend more time with her.

As Ahmad deplaned from his private jet, he saw his secretary, Mr. Yaks waiting for him in a grey Lamborghini. As Mr. Yaks saw his boss, he quickly rushed out of the Lamborghini to welcome him.

As he sat in the car, he looked at Mr. Yaks and ask for his schedule for the day.

"You will be having a brief meeting with the directors at the branch office in the next 30 minutes. And you will be sealing the deal with the Shifa group of companies at Bella Palace at 4 pm, that's in two hours."

The moment Ahmad looks up from his phone, Mr. Yaks already knows what he wanted to say." I will be there ahead of you to settle most of the matter, all you will have to do is to browse through the documents and signs where necessary when you arrive."

Mr. Yaks understands his boss the most, just by looking at him, he will know what he was thinking. "The life of a secretary is very hard." He thought to himself as he heaved a relief sign.

Meenah and her friends walked into the cafe separately, the trio acting like strangers. She saw him sitting by the window and was looking in her direction but not at her but at another lady." what a jerk." She muttered.

She walked to him and sat directly opposite him on the table."Hi." She said as she pulled the chair to sit.

" You are here Meenah." He smiled and stretched out his hand for a handshake. He was ignored but didn't feel awkward, rather he smiled at her.

"What would you like to take?"

"I'm okay with this." Raising the cup of water on her table.

"If I say this will you believe me?" He rubs his hands together and acts like he is nervous.

Meenah raised her brows, folded her hands on her chest, and rested her back on the chair. Looking like someone ready to watch an interesting show.

"You look more beautiful than I anticipated." He looked at her and expected her to blush but was surprised to see her calm and composed.

" That is why  I want us to start dating." He takes a sip from his drink and continues. "But before then I would love to meet your friends." He looked up and saw her furrowed brows.

'What's wrong with this ugly freak? Did she think I'm here for her? I'm even ashamed of myself right now. How can a handsome guy like me date this ugly duckling?" He thought to himself.

"Jerk."

Did this ugly freak just call me a jerk? Have I been exposed? No! No! I can't let this happen,  I can't let her know that  I'm using her to reach my goal. A weird smile appeared on his face as he thought of a way to sort everything out.

"Why did you call me a jerk? He asked in a gentlemanly way. " Did you think I have a hidden agenda? I'm doing all these for your sake." He paused and looked straight into her eyes.

"The moment  I set my eyes on you I fell in love with you, that's why I can't bear to see you hurt in any way.

Meenah that was calmly sitting down glared at him annoyingly but did not let it reflect on her face. She started acting coquettishly." Oh! I'm so sorry for calling you a jerk, please forgive me, will you? Please... Please." She said as she fluttered her eyes and gave him her most beautiful smile.

Jaybee was carried away because of the beautiful smile. She looks beautiful when she was acting cute, "the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful girl with a radiant smile." He thought to himself.

His heart skipped a bit when he saw the smile but he quickly brushed it away because she is not his cup of tea.

"If you know how much I adore you, you will not have any doubt about my intentions. You mean the whole world to me." He said with a smile.

She looked up at him and flutter her eyes again. "Never knew I meant this much to you. So sorry for doubting you." She smiled at him again. "So, you are meeting them for my benefit."

"If not because of you why would I want to meet your friends? I want to meet them for two reasons... One is to know the kind of people you mingle with. I wouldn't want anyone to ruin our relationship. Two... This is the most important." He paused as he looked at her lovingly." You look too slim and fragile. What if one day we go on a date and you break down? What will I do if that happens?"

"Oh my!" She said as she fluttered her eyes and put one of her palms on her chest." That's so sweet of you, I am so lucky to have you as a boyfriend."

Lailah and Fateemah were sitting behind Meenah's table. They could hear their conversation. Lailah was about to get up to go and slap sense into Meenah after hearing the last part of the conversation when Fateemah pulled her back to her seat.

"Can't you sense that she is acting?' She whispered.

" She seems real to me," Lailah replied.

Meenah looked at Jaybee lovingly and said." They are outside waiting for me. Do you want to meet them now?"

"Are you for real?" He asked with a big smile.

"Yes, we came here together, but they decided to wait for me outside."

"Why are you telling me now?" He said as he got up from his chair.

Meenah looked up at him confused. ' Are you going somewhere?" She asked.

" What are you saying? We are going to invite them in."

He was so happy that he did not notice the smug look on Meenah's face.

Meenah led him to a secluded place behind the cafe. It was a place she took her time to find before meeting up with him. It is a perfect place to accomplish her plan.

Jaybee looked around but did not see anyone. What is this ugly freak trying to do? He thought to himself." Where are your friends?" He asked suspiciously.

"They are not here and they will not be here," she said as she moved a step closer to him." I brought you here to beat you up." She smirked.

" Are you crazy or something? You hired thugs to beat me up."

Why would I do that? When I can do it by myself." She said arrogantly.

Jaybee was amazed. He couldn't believe that a slim girl like her dared to challenge him and she was so full of confidence.

"You want to beat me all by yourself?" He chuckled as he asked.

"Yes, right now." She paused for some seconds before she proceeded. "I know what you were up to from the moment you approached me but want to show you that two can play the game that was why I kept leading you on."

He was dumbfounded but couldn't say anything.

" Look at you, you are a disgrace to every man, if you know you are worthy of any one of them why don't you approach them by yourself?" She looked at him disgustingly and continued. " Anyway, scumbag like you don't have common sense."

"How dare you!" He roared as he raised his hand to slap her. 

Being a Taekwondo expert, she was faster than he was.  Before he could land his slap on her, he was slapped instead.

He was so angry that he charged forward to slap her again. Before he could reach her, he was knocked down with a kick.

Meenah looked down at him and said." Do you think a scumbag like you is worthy of my friends?"

"Look at you, you can not even beat a girl, what a loser." She said as she turned to walk away from the scene.

Mr.Yaks walked out of the secret entrance to go and welcome his boss who was about to arrive. Because his boss loves to be low-key, they normally make use of the secret door for any of their transactions.

He witnessed everything that happened between the duo. When he saw Jaybee raising his hand to slap the young girl. He was about to rush forward to save the damsel in distress when the damsel in distress turned heroine.

He was shocked to see what transpired between the two after that.

Meenah was stunned when she saw a man standing by their side observing everything. She halted her movement and later ignored the man and walked away from his side.
