The Billionaire's Past novel Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35

6:00 pm Saturday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina

12:00 am Sunday, in Asia

Aliyah is still in her hometown but she is about to go back to the city by afternoon.

Aliyah sent a message this late afternoon to Almir-(Atif).

She is wondering why until now she didn't get any reply from him.

Aliyah is still awake even at midnight.

She can't go to sleep, thinking why Almir didn't reply to her messages.

Aliyah can't stop herself thinking that maybe he backed away because Almir didn't reply to her message.

Because of those thoughts Aliyah felt disappointed but nothing she can't do if that would be the case.

Because of that, Aliyah cannot help but think that she is a fool for trusting strangers.

And she felt that she needed to give up the idea that Almir will help her in applying for that job.

The bad side of her personality slowly poisoning her thoughts again that she needed to back away again.

Aliyah is sleepy this time and gave up her hope that Almir will still reply to her message.

She decides that she will no longer ask Almir about that matter again and maybe says goodbye to him if she finds out how this guy related to Atif. Why this guy knew Atif. She wants to find out before saying goodbye to him.

Now she falls asleep ignoring the thoughts about Almir.

But at the back of her mind she still waits for Almir to reply.

It is already evening when Atif reaches home.

Their dinner is not yet ready so he decided to go up to his room first.

He decided to take a shower first before eating dinner.

He took off his coat and his phone dropped on the floor because it slipped out of his coat's pocket.

Atif picked his phone.

And he noticed that there were some messages coming from Aliyah.

Gosh!

He almost forgot to check his phone earlier.

The message was sent early this morning.

Now it's already evening.

Atif immediately opened the message and read.

He hurriedly typed his reply for he feared that Aliyah would back out because he failed to reply to her messages earlier.

Atif left the phone on his bed.

He decided to go to the bathroom and take a shower while waiting for her reply.

He took a shower for 25 minutes.

When he goes out of the bathroom he immediately checks his phone to see if Aliyah replied.

But he didn't get any reply from her.

Atif decided to go down to the dining area and join his family in eating dinner.

Haris didn't ask anything about Atif's business trip. Anyway he is not interested whatsoever because he didn't interested in any property that Mr. Omerdic is selling.

Haris just used that business trip as an excuse so that Atif can't participate in yesterday's company's meeting that's why he sent Atif to check that matter.

Atif felt a relief when his grandfather didn't ask anything about his trip. It only means that his grandfather is not really interested in that matter. So it means he can do what he wants-his revenge to Monika and Aleksa -without anyone to interfere.

Atif can't help himself to smile.

And that smile was noticed by his stepmother Sara because Atif is sitting opposite to her on the dining table.

"Son, what’s the reason behind that smile?"

Sara asked Atif why he was smiling.

And when Atif heard Sara's voice he was surprised and his spoon and fork slipped on his hand and dropped on the crystal plate.

The spoon and fork made a loud sound that got the attention of everyone.

Atif's face blushed because he was slightly embarrassed. When he managed to compose himself he answered Sara's question.

"Nothing Mother." Atif said while picking up the glass of water and drink.

"Nothing? You won't smile like that for nothing." Jasmin teases Atif.

Atif just gave him a glance and said nothing.

"Maybe the reason for that smile was Aliyah." Haris said.

Atif was shocked when he heard his grandfather talk about Aliyah.

Atif felt like he was frozen on his seat.
