The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 16

Finally, after two and a half hours, we reached our destination. The place was serene, the seawater extended beyond the horizon, the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, there were hills around the open ground where we had parked our car and they were planning to build a resort.

Whoever had chosen this spot really had a great taste, I could notice Kabir had the same feelings as mine regarding the place.

"This place is heaven," I exclaimed as we got out of the car.

" Agreed," Kabir added.

"I am glad you both like the place, and I would be merrier if you both get your asses to work now," Daniyal said as he walked towards the group of people standing a little away from us.

" Hey Daniyal," A man in his late fifties greeted as Daniyal approached the group.

I noticed most of the people we're Waleed's employees. I had met them at his office when I had accompanied Daniyal to the meeting and Waleed had introduced us to the people who were working on this project.

"Hello Mr.Shah," Daniyal greeted back as they did handshake.

"Let me introduce my team to you, this is Kabir and Mia. They both are architects in my firm, " Daniyal introduced us.

"Guys, this is Mr.Shah, our client, whose resort we are going to construct," Daniyal said with a formal smile.

We both greeted Shah and then he introduced us to his secretary and the two of his partners.

After the formal greetings with everyone, we started with our work, I noticed Waleed was silent today unlike in the last meeting with Daniyal and me. He had avoided looking at me as he had done in our previous meeting apart from the formal greetings.

When we had covered all the points required for the site study like the geography, topography, climate, site placement and the road facing side, etc.

We went to the cabin which looked like it was recently constructed. Waleed, Daniyal and Shah were sitting in the cabin along with his partners.

They were discussing the requirements of the project, and Waleed's secretary was busy taking notes. There were a total of five employees from Waleed's firm. Two engineers and three architects.

They were all men and were really good, except the senior engineer who was in his fifties and looked really mean.

The four of them warmed to me and Kabir really fast and we had fun exploring the place and conducting the study.

As we joined the meeting, the discussion shifted to the site study we all have our observations, and then Shah and his partners started discussing their demands and what they wanted in their resorts.

The meeting was going smoothly until my cell started shrieking again the horrible ringtone I had set. I hated when all the eyes landed on me, shit I was screwed. Daniyal was going to kill me. I had

completely forgotten to turn my phone silent before the meeting.

I looked at Daniyal but my gaze shifted to Waleed who was sitting beside him, he was looking at me the same as in my nightmare last night and I began to panic that anytime now he would flash his fangs before he pounced on me and drank my blood.

Ben was really charming and sweet. He and I were of the same batch though we belonged to different architecture schools, he had been working for KKC for over a year now.

He teased me regarding my ringtone and how he loved it and I proved a savior from that boring discussion.

I told him about the look Waleed gave me with the reference of the vampire. Ben roared with laughter and agreed on how similar Waleed was to a vampire they both feasted on the blood of the humans around them. At least I was convinced I was not the only one that hated Waleed, there were people who shared my dislikes in this world. Ben reminded me of Ali, he had the same carefree attitude as Ali and I was sure we were going to bond well together, as we worked on this project.

Waleed

We were having a discussion with Shah and his partners after our team gave their observations regarding the case study, I was glad, the way the discussion was going it felt like this was going to be an interesting project and lucrative too for my firm.

All of a sudden I heard a horrible shrieking sound, all the people in the room were startled by the sound.

And when I looked at the source of the sound it was coming from the cell phone of none other than Mia.

I felt like killing that girl and drinking her blood, she was really a pain in the ass. I wondered how Daniyal tolerated her.

"Mia you can go out and take the call," Daniyal said through clenched teeth from beside me, he really looked pissed.

My mood was destroyed, I couldn't concentrate on the discussion anymore. I was thinking about Mia, I don't think I have enough patience to tolerate her for the time we work together.
