97 The Rise of a Queen...(4)

"You are back" the sleepy voice asked. She found he is not acting the mighty Shaizlan as always he did but a nervous person she found it weird before attending the call he was fussing like a mad lion and look at him right now. the way he is looking at her as if wanna plead for something. As if a child asking for a candy.

he do look cute when he have this expression..... she thought... uhmm wait what I am thinking she frowned by her thoughts.

"I need to ask you something". he said in a low voice it was more of a request than of a command.

"shoot" she said with her eyes closed.

"I want us to date each other." This was an order but the voice so low that Azlain thought of a mischievous plan to tease him. she became aware of one thing he is bad when he have to express his feelings. he can't compliment her and he don't wanna make her feel as if she is important yet he end up doing this which is quiet reversible.

"seems you forget what I said, what about the first step Mr Alyan." she just turn her head to look at him she was enjoying this side of Shaizlan. the confused side of Shaizlan Alyan not many are fortunate to be able to pull his leg. Although she convinced herself she is just kidding somewhere deep in her heart something that was unknown to her, she realised the feeling was of neither being sad or happy it just she merely can't describe it with words.

"Come on Azlain you know how I am with relationship still you are giving me a hard time Give me one chance is it so hard for you." He was so frustrated by her behaviour that he lose himself, still he met with silence and he could not take it anymore finally he said, "our parents have arranged this marriage and you don't have any other option. "Marry me and I will make sure that the mess created by Sasha is clean without compensation for the Y country."

Her brows furrowed, she was about to say yes yet this impatient man, idiot jerk made this beautiful scene a business deal.

"So you want to marry me because of the agreement between Baba and your father" she was calmed but Shaizlan can sense the storm that was brewing inside her head. he gulped he is doomed he took a wrong move and now there is no turning back.

"I... I mean that you know.... since both of our parents want us to get us married beside you are in need of help so you know marrying me will gain you some favour.. I mean think about it there is no way if you fired the people outside you would be able to make a new council of your own beside you don't have people favour with you, cherry on the top you have to compensate Y country for breaching the deal with them. you actually don't have time to deal with this problem you can't compensate them with this short span of time and even you are aware of it." he tried to reasoned her and himself.

She straight away looked at him with her hands hands clasped on the table and said, "what if I say no to you.... she paused and said again, what if I say I can compensate them without your help and the agreement between Baba and your father is past beside both of them are not here so it's ok if we don't agree.. you need not to worry about their promises." His was dumbstruck by her words she is capable but it is nearly impossible to compensate Y country especially when the economy is low.

"Mr Alyan". she got up and went close to him, you seems pretty confused about your own self and I think you consider me week beside I don't want your offer I have my ways." saying this she tried to make his tie which was crooked from the side, he don't know how to tie it she thought..

the physical closeness was as ambiguous as their feelings towards each other.

He realised he was wrong he tried to weaken her by playing his cards making her feel weak and dejected but in the end it was still a no damn this woman.....
