The Rise Of The Ice Queen

The next morning, Nurhan and I took the chance to roam around the London city. We banned Suleiman and Waiza from coming along as we wanted to spend our time together privately.

We bought the London explorer pass and started with the hop-on hop-off bus tour followed by the Thames river cruise.

As I was enjoying the breeze, getting the titanic moment at the edge of the cruise, Nurhan hugged me from the back and gave me a peck kiss on my cheek.

OH. MY. GOD.

My body froze. Nurhan turned my body around and faced him. He seemed unbothered by my shocking expression. He looked at me with jubilation.

Nurhan took out an iPhone and started to shake it with his hands. My eyes were blinking. I swallowed my saliva hard. "Was that for me?"

There was a twinkle in his eyes as he gazed and nodded at me. I was charmed by the dimples on his face. It was as if his face glowed in my eyes.

The iPhone was passed to me. I pressed the button and realised that the screensaver was a blurry picture of a person from afar wearing an oversized grey hoodie near the beach sand area. I took a closer look and faced Nurhan abruptly.

"Was that me seven years ago?" I almost choked at that point.

Nurhan smiled faintly, remaining calmed. "You already stole my heart by then."

The iPhone that was on my hand started to ring. I answered the call as it was stated my PA's name. "Yes, Waiza?"

"Ma'am, the CEO of the Pearl's X would like to discuss with you the designs that they have as samples for your shawls' pins. Would it be okay for me to book a dinner reservation at 8pm?"

My limbs were relaxed. "Very well, Waiza. I'll be back in the hotel room by 7.30pm. Please get my outfit ready for today's dinner."

"Sure, ma'am. Would you want me to prepare for Mister Nurhan's suit as well?" Waiza asked as she wanted to know if Nurhan was joining me for dinner.

I glanced at Nurhan and he shook his head. I ignored his response. "Yes, please. And please reserve a separate dinner table for Nurhan and I later on by the hotel rooftop after my appointment with the Pearl's X CEO."

Nurhan's eyes brightened at the mention of my plan. He couldn't help but pulled me into his embrace warmly.
