44. Late Night Banter
Rima's POV
The resounding crash of shattering glass and scattering metal echoed behind me, causing me to flinch in startled surprise. I froze mid-stride, the sound reverberating through the hallway, a stark reminder of the fury I had left behind in the office just a moment ago.
His anger was understandable, and I didn't begrudge him that. I was well aware that my words, my attitude were infuriating. Yet, truly, I had no other course but to utter those harsh truths. The reality of what transpired between Demir and me, it was a secret I could not share.
My options were limited. I could fabricate a tale, spin a lie to feed his curiosity, or I could close him out entirely. I opted for the latter, the bitter taste of falsehoods too much to bear, especially when it came to him.
The door on the furthest side from the office swung open, revealing Tessa and Travis. Their faces held a mix of confusion and concern, undoubtedly drawn by the deafening crash that had e

Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 45. Annoying POS
Rima's POVIf I thought Jacob was intolerable yesterday, he was even more intolerable today.The moment I stepped into the office with him, I could feel the tension wrapped around like a shroud. His attitude was colder, harsher, and more demanding than ever before. From the moment I arrived, he seemed hell-bent on making my workday a living nightmare.First, there was the monthly report. I spent the entire morning meticulously compiling data, only for him to dismiss it with a wave of his hand, claiming it was 'lacking in depth'. The fact that he couldn't offer any concrete advice on how to improve it only fueled my frustration further.Then came the impromptu meeting, one that he decided to call fifteen minutes before it was due to start. Scrambling together a presentation in such a short span of time was nothing short of a herculean task. His indifferent shrug when I pointed out the impossibility of his demand was a clear testament to his newfound insens
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 46. Shopping for Sentiments
Rima’s POVWhen he came back to the office I kept my mouth shut about the phone call and did my best to clear his schedule without causing anything to be disrupted or push us into an impossible deadline to meet, planning to take on his extra work for him while he visits his family. I wasn’t sure if he will agree to even go with his brother or not but something told me that little shit can make anyone do anything even his currently sourpuss brother has no chance against him.I was hoping he would leave and give me a few days of peace and quiet to absorb enough power and continue enduring his extreme hard as fuck attitude because it doesn’t seem like it will change anytime soon especially after the last two days filled with drama between us. I was looking forward to it.Something gnawed at me till the end of the day. Even though he does not deserve my consideration but I convinced myself to do it for the old Jacob, definitely not this version bec
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 47. Echoes of Suspicion
Rima’s POVTrue to his word, five minutes later we were pulling up in front of a sprawling shopping mall.As I stepped out of the car, I saw Travis also exiting the vehicle. Thinking that he was planning to accompany me, I turned to him."You don’t need to come with me. I’ll manage on my own" I said, but he quickly reassured me."I thought I’d use the time to do a bit of personal shopping as well" he replied."Oh, okay then. Let’s go" I responded, not giving it much thought.We entered the mall and went our separate ways.As I navigated through the busy mall, my eyes scanned various stores, searching for an item that would stand out, a gift that would be perfect.Spotting a jewelry store, I made my decision. This was as good a place as any to start, I thought, and headed towards it.As I stepped inside, the tinkling of a bell announced my arrival. The store was empty except for a tall, elega
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 48. Nice Save, Partner
Rima’s POVDay three of Jacob's reign of terror had dawned.I found myself becoming increasingly adept at juggling his outlandish demands and labyrinthine tasks. Even the most minor of typing errors didn't escape his eagle eyes. His relentless, stern demeanor was a constant, like a storm cloud perpetually hanging overhead. I, for my part, strived to shield my annoyance, putting on a façade of acceptance — an implicit agreement to the way he chose to treat an assistant.However, I couldn't shake off Lucas's advice, a seed planted in the back of my mind. How much longer could I suppress the urge to show Mr. Snow a different side of me? My patience was wearing thin, much like the waning day, and anticipation for Lucas's surprise visit added to my restlessness.A flurry of questions stormed my mind. How would Jacob react to the surprise? Would he agree to accompany Lucas? What would his response be upon discovering I'd kept my knowledge of

Rima’s POV"No, I'm not!" I retorted, my voice rigid with disbelief and more than a hint of defiance.His eyes gleamed in the dim light, his icy tone matching the frost in his gaze "Excuse me?"I could feel the rush of adrenaline, a surge of indignation that had my words tumbling out in a heated rush "There's nothing to excuse" I snapped, my composure slipping with every word "You're going on a family trip, Mr. Snow. That is none of my business. So, have a wonderful time, but I'm not going anywhere!"He countered, a note of frosty determination in his voice "I won't just sit around doing nothing for three days, we will be working whenever we have free time""Kezzeb bnus A’ynak! Kellu haki fadi!" (Bullshit! You’re lying and using work as a lame excuse for it!) I erupted in a fervor, my voice veering into my native Arabic as my emotions spiraled beyond my control. The words were an angry exclamation against his insistence, a fiery a

Jacob's POV"Hmmm, she bought you a gift to take with you, that's considerate despite you being a total jerk to her. I wonder why she'd do that for you" Lucas remarked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I shot him a pointed look. He was finding this situation far too entertaining, his eyes gleaming with a curiosity I recognized all too well, despite our year-long separation. Lucas had always been like this - unnervingly perceptible, and insufferably annoying when he had a mental puzzle to solve."Why did

Jacob’s POV"Let's not waste time bickering. Get your laptop out and let's work on the proposal we were supposed to tackle yesterday" I ordered, pulling out my own laptop. Work had always been a successful distraction for her before, and I saw no reason why it wouldn't work now.Lucas let out a dramatic groan "Oh come on! Can't we take a break for once? How about a game of cards or something?"I shot him a teasing smile "Maybe after we finish some work. Until then, I'd appreciate some peace and qu
