Both work professionally but can't breathe the same air through.

Daily, they fight on childish matters, but when it comes to work, they never disagree with each other.

One day, Jace advised them to do the project in another way that cost less and they would earn profits.

But they both stood against him.

"No, this can't be changed." Noor said.

"Yeah, she is right. We can't compromise the quality." Veer agreed.

"Our names are engaged with this project. If any mishap happens in the future, our names will be tarnished." Noor argued.

"Exactly, and if you want to interfere like this, then we are leaving this project right now." Veer said.

"Yes, we will, and whatever losses occur, we will deal with them now rather than put dirt on our names in the future." Noor agreed with Veer.

"OK ok. I won't interfere. You two do whatever pleases you." Jace said defeatedly and left.

"Pagal.(lunatic)"
"Bewakoof.(idiot)"
Both Noor and Veer said it together the moment Jace left.

"Is he mad?" Noor said.

"If I knew, I would have never worked with this idiot." Veer replied.

"Agreed." Noor said.

"Wow, for the first time, you both agreed on something." Claire muttered, but both heard her.

Both looked at Claire and then at each other. They gave each other a disgusting look and left.

Now Noor is reviewing some presentations when Claire brings her coffee.

"Thanks, Claire." Noor said, taking the cup, and Claire sat in front of her with her coffee.

"Boss, can I ask something?"

"Yeah," Noor replied, sipping her coffee.

"Well, I'm just curious, and curiosity kills a cat." Claire said, and Noor gestured to her to continue, "Why do you and Mr. Randhawa always fight each other? You both knew each other, right?"

Noor scoffed and replied, "Unfortunately, yes. We were classmates in school....."

"Oh, so I was right. It is a childhood rivalry." Claire said while cutting her off, and Noor narrowed her eyes. "No, I mean, I thought when I saw you both fight like kids on childish matters."

"That man will never grow up." Noor replied.

"I'm sorry, boss, if I ask too much."

"No, it's OK, Claire."

After work, she comes back home and calls Shahzaib. It's been a long time since she called home.

But instead, Hamza picks up the call, "As-salamu alaykum, Phupho jaan."

"Wa ʿalaykumu s-salam Phupho ki jaan (my life)." Noor greeted him back.

"Phupho I'm missing you a lot. Please come home, na." Hamza said it with puppy eyes.

She never visited India after Hamza's first birthday. Only her mother and brother's family visited her a few times.

"I'm sorry, Jaan. I have too much work to do. I can't come." Noor replied, and Hamza pouted.

"Phupho, please. Can't you come home during the holidays?"

Noor giggled, "Baby, I don't get holidays like you."

"Why?"

"Because I'm the boss, and bosses have so much work to do. Did you see Bhaijan having holidays?" She asks.

"No, but he takes a day off for me. Can't you?"

"You come to me, then I'll take so many days off. I promise." She replied.

Like this, she talked for hours, first with Hamza, then her mother, then Sarah and Shahzaib.

After cutting the call, she had a smile on her face. She is missing everyone, but she can't go back.

The next day, she resumed her life as usual. She was doing work in her cabin when she heard some commotion outside.

"Mr You can't come inside. You don't have an  appointment."Claire comes behind a blonde man barging inside her office.

"Hello, beautiful." He said this while coming in, and Noor frowned.

"Who are you? And who let you in?" Noor asks, getting up from her seat.

"I tried to find you after the party, and finally I got your address, baby." Instead, he replied, and Noor narrowed her eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"You need to leave, Mr." Clair said.

"You need to shut your bitch's mouth." He said this while trying to hold Noor's hand.

Which boiled Noor's blood. She instantly held his hand and twisted his arm back.

"Fuckkk." He cried in pain.

Noor kicked his ass hard, and he fell to the ground out of her cabin.

"SECURITY!!!!!!" She roared, and security came running.

"You bitch." That man cursed, and Noor kicked him in the balls.

"Aaahhhhhh." He cried more in pain, and everyone laughed there.

"Don't you dare say a word, you filthy animal." She hissed in anger, "Throw him out." She said to Security. "And after that, you are done. Clear your accounts with finance." She said to Security.

"Mam, please," the security pleaded.

"If you can't do your work properly, then you don't have a place here. Some random animal barged inside my office, misbehaved with me, and used inappropriate words for my secretary. It's your job to not let such an animal come inside, and you failed. So get out." Noor said, and get inside her cabin.

Security dragged the man out, and Veer is laughing at him. Actually, Veer just arrived when she kicked him out of her cabin.

That was none other than the blonde looking at her at the party, and Veer heard him.

Veer was shocked to see her feisty avatar. But he is impressed to see that she doesn't need any men to help her. She is enough for herself.

She can protect herself and is not a fragile thing who needs the protection of a man.

Girls should be like that, he thought, but not under any condition. He was going to say all of this in front of her and praise her.

Veer laughed at the man when security passed him.

"Fucker like you deserves this. You bastard, she is not a helpless woman. She is the grandmother of the devil himself." Veer mocked him, and the man looked at him in anger.

"Don't you hear your ex-boss? Throw him out." Veer said to Security and headed towards her cabin.

"Who the hell was he? Find it out, Claire. I'll destroy him." Noor is fuming in anger when Veer comes in.

"He was Liam Russo. Jace Hemsworth's brother-in-law. " Veer replied, coming towards her. "And he was admiring you at the party," Veer said to her.

"I will destroy him." She replied with a devilish smile and stormed out.

As she said, within a day, she destroyed that man, Liam Russo. His business is ruined, and he is on the streets now.

Jace tried to convince her, but he was aware of her wrath, so he stepped out to save himself from her.

Noor is not a woman to mess with. She lives alone, far from her family, so she knows how to tackle each and every kind of person. She is good with nice people but can be a devil to those who try to mess with her.

Veer is impressed by her lady-boss nature, but he never showed it. His ego will never let him.

Jace is scared of her so much that he started counting the days until she wraps up the project soon.

They were discussing some presentations to implement when Veer's phone rang, and he excused himself.

When he came back, he saw everyone had left the conference hall; only Noor was sitting on the chair on which Veer was sitting previously.

"What the hell?" He asks loudly. "That was my seat. Get up." He said that, and Noor gave him a , are you even serious look.

"What are you looking at? Get up." Veer said it again.

"Kyu tumhara naam likha hua tha kya? (Does your name have to be written there?)" Noor asks sarcastically, and it hurts his ego.

He pulled the chair along with Noor, and she screamed, "VEERRRR!"

"Get up," he said.

"NO... leave me..." she is screaming while punching and slapping his biceps.

Claire came in and saw their fight. She gasped, "Oh god! Please grow up." She said so, and both stopped.

"She is sitting in my place." Veer complained.

"You didn't patent this seat." Noor replied sassily.

"Are you both 5?" Claire asks in disbelief, seeing their childish fight.

Both realised what they were doing and stormed out.
