Malika.9:10 am.
At the Nezar corporation.
"Sorry Mr. Adam, you"re not allowed to go inside," the security man said firmly.
"I want to talk to her now!"— Adam held the man"s collar roughly— "move."
The security man held Adam"s hand shoving it away causing him to slightly lose his balance and said, "You"re not allowed to enter, and your belongings are here." Adam looked beside the man to see one big brown box with all his belongings.
It took Malika a solid forty minutes to get to Farah. After she parked her car, Adam was heading to his in the parking lot, he noticed Malika and went to talk to her. "Malika," he said loud enough for her to hear him.
"Yes?" she looked at him furiously.
"Can we talk? Please," Adam said and left the box next to her car. She cringed at his action and quickly shifted her body and walked away yet Adam followed her fast steps. "Come on Malika, just give me a chance to explain myself!" Adam begged. Malika kept her fast steps leaving Adam standing behind her and about to cry.
She kept walking mumbling angry cursing words till she reached the elevator b.u.t.ton. She rarely gets angry; she has a joyful optimistic personality yet when she gets angry or nervous; she curses nonstop.
The elevator reached the ninth floor where Farah"s office. Everyone looked nervous and were running. Malika walked slowly as she reached Farah"s secretary"s desk and found her about to cry. "Lena! What"s wrong?!"
Lena"s whole face was completely red. She was trying hard not to cry; She was known in the office for her humble personality and her plus-sized short body that gave her the look of a twelve-year-old with her perfect natural redhead curls and colorful big round gla.s.ses she always wears that gave her unique unforgettable look.
"Everything is messed up…she is furious, and I don"t know what to do!" Lena blubbered.
"Calm down, go wash your face and I"ll talk to her," Malika said it hopefully she would be able to calm the beast inside who she could hear her loud voice from behind closed doors. She knocked on her door and opened it to find Farah standing in the middle of her office, talking in high angry pitch and not paying any attention to anything else.
Malika entered and sat on a chair in front of Farah"s desk. "You have to finish this d.a.m.n project before the end of the year!!" Farah"s voice was getting higher and angrier. "what! Now you realize that we have a problem! We had one year to finish! But now we only have TWO WEEKS!!" Farah screamed which made Malika jump a little.
Malika whistled shrilly. Farah glared at her; Malika smiled and pointed at the coffee. Farah moved her eyes and continued her call.
After painful ten minutes of yelling, Farah hung up the phone and sat on the chair across to Malika. "Hey, angry bird," Malika said with a big smile trying to change the mood. Farah smiled at her. "what happened here?"—she put sugar in her coffee— "everyone is running, and you made the poor girl cry!"
"Who?" Farah said surprisingly, raising her eyebrows.
"Poor Lena, is it Adam who makes you yell at everyone?"
Farah stood up suddenly. "Did she really cried?" she asked, Malika answered her and waited for Farah"s answer about Adam.
Instead, Farah left the room and went to check on Lena. After five minutes, she got back to her office. "Hey, I asked you a question, are you okay?" Malika asked.
"Yeah, great," Farah said, holding her coffee and she was about to drink.

Malika held her hand and said, "I"m serious."
"I"m fine really," Farah said while resting her back and took a sip of her coffee.
"I want you to tell me the truth and I know all of it is overwhelming, so you have to open up your heart and tell me how you feel—"
"I am fine, nothing is overwhelming but this coffee needs sugar."
"—you"re clearly not okay! You were screaming hard on the phone and obviously, you"re furious."
"It"s the norm of my job, packets?" Farah said and opened her hand waiting for the extra sugar packets. Malika had extra sugar packets inside her bag. She always carried extra packets with her, she liked intense sugar taste any time she drank coffee counter to Farah who only drank it black with no sugar.
"Don"t lie to yourself"—Malika took two sugar packets from her bag and put them on Farah"s opened hand — "what happened yesterday turned you into this angry yelling person."
"No, I"m always an angry yelling person in here, it just how it works," Farah said and put sugar to her coffee.
Farah took a sip and looked at her phone expecting a text while Malika eyed her calmly. "What the h.e.l.l happened to you?!" Malika snapped, looking deeply into her eyes. Farah frowned and looked at Malika who didn"t move her eyes. "two days ago, you looked like you"re about to explode and now you look fine! You"re even putting sugar in your coffee!" Malika sounded surprised.
"You don"t want me to put sugar in my coffee? Because I"m pretty sure you have more in your bag or you don"t want me to be fine?" Farah said deadpan.
"What"s wrong with you?!" Malika shouted. "I need an explanation now!" she said, pointing at her angrily.
"About what?! It just two sugar packets!" Farah took another sip of her coffee.
"I"m not talking about the d.a.m.n sugar, it"s about what happened yesterday! you left my house and supposedly heading home, but you went to the airport and you didn"t even tell me. Yesterday I kept calling you, but your phone was off all day!" Malika said.
"I told you I was going to the airport and yeah I went to meet Noah," Farah explained calmly.
"Noah! Our Noah?!" Malika said and frowned.
"I don"t think we know any other Noah." Farah held her phone, writing a text.
"And?"
"Nothing we just hang out and I came back," Farah said calmly; that always made Malika angrier.
"So, you went to Noah and talked to him and not me!" Malika said and gasped.
