The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 17

I needed to talk to Daniyal, I had to tell him to pull her out of this project. If she keeps acting in such an irresponsible way it's not going to be good for the image of my firm.

The discussion finished after an hour and Shah along with his partners bid adieu. I and Daniyal started discussing how the meeting went and planning for the upcoming procedures.

I saw Mia sneak out from the cabin with Ben, I was curious to know what she was up to this time. I dismissed my staff and Kabir, who had accompanied Daniyal, went out along with them.

"Daniyal, do you think Mia is good enough to work on this project? I mean I don't think she is mature and responsible for this job. Don't take me in any other way but the way she behaved today is not good for the image of our firms," I said to Daniyal as soon as we were alone in the cabin.

"Yes, I know she can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but trust me she is very talented and she is one of the best. I am sure if she keeps up the hard work she will be one of the best architects in the country," Daniyal replied.

I was a little surprised by his revelation, I never thought someone like Mia who was so reckless, can be good at their job. I knew Daniyal was intelligent and hard-working and he had done really well in the few years since he established his own firm. And if he was saying she was good at her job meant she must have something.

"If you say so, but how do you tolerate her, I mean if I would have been in your place I would have fired her," I said with amusement.

I didn't want Daniyal to think I had some personal agenda against her, I couldn't tell him about our feud, it will only damage my reputation.

"She is family, and no matter how much you despise them and they embarrass you, you just can't abandon them," He replied smiling.

" Ohh, sorry man. I didn't know she was your sister," I apologized.

"She is my cousin, our parents are really close and I really feel she is a sibling I never had," Daniyal said as he rose from the couch.

"It's getting late, I don't think my wife would like if I stay here for a little while more," He said, picking his stuff.

"Ohh, yes. I don't think there is any need to delay our departure, " I collected my stuff and we exited the cabin locking it behind us.

"The labor camp will be set up near the closest village and we can start working on the plan from Monday, " I said as we walked towards the car. I put my stuff in the trunk and then noticed I had forgotten my cell in the cabin.

I asked Daniyal to wait till I got back my cell phone, as I went inside the cabin retrieved my cell and walked out. I heard someone shouting.

I turned around and looked, it was Mia she was running towards me. Her face was turned backward and Ben was running behind her. Mia was holding a cell in her hand and was laughing.

I don't know what happened but I didn't move from the spot I was standing. Ben probably saw me because he was looking in front and Mia was looking at him. He called Mia to the lookout but it was late.

She stumbled into me and was about to fall on the ground on her back. My arms shot up and I held her waist, I was pulled towards the ground with her but I managed to balance on time.

"I am fine Ben, I think Daani is waiting for me, thanks for walking with me on the beach. Here is your cell,

"she said to Ben handing him his cell phone as she tried to compose herself.

"Thanks, " She turned and said to me, I looked at her. She was still breathing fast and her cheeks were

still tainted red, she left before I could reply.

Damn, this girl was driving me crazy, I didn't like the way I was affected by her, and the way I felt when

she was in my arms.

" She is so hot, " I heard Ben mutter under his breath, but I heard it.

"She is engaged, and she is Daniyal's cousin. Better not mess around with him, " I said to Ben, but I felt I

reminded it to myself more than him.
