The Billionaire's Past novel Chapter 40

CHAPTER 40

After a few minutes they arrived at the place where Aliyah is staying.

When the car stopped Aliyah opened the car door immediately and stepped outside to get the stuff she bought at the grocery which is at the backseat of Atif's car.

But as quick as the wind, Atif already gets it before she can touch the grocery's bags.

Atif volunteers to help her carry those bags going up to her unit.

Because Atif was already holding those stuff Aliyah let him carry it.

Aliyah knew that she could not stop Atif from doing so.

Aliyah knew that Atif wanted to help her because he wants to know where she is staying.

They arrived at the room where Aliyah is renting.

Atif put down the grocery's bags.

To thank Atif as well as to annoy him Aliyah decided to offer him a cup of tea.

Aliyah remembers that Atif didn't like the taste of tea. She knew that Atif didn't want to drink tea. Atif mentioned that to her when they were chatting when they talked about their favorite foods.

She wants to annoy Atif so that he won't go back to her place.

Aliyah wants to see Atif but she wants to keep distance from Atif because she is afraid that one day Atif will discover that she is also Haya and Aliyah if he will always come around here in her place.

She doesn't want Atif to discover her secret because she is not ready to face his questions: why did she go away a long time ago; why did she have to leave him before and end their friendship.

Aliyah decided to annoy Atif so that he will go away and keep distance from her.

Aliyah does her first move. She talk to Atif;

"Thanks for volunteering to drive me home and carrying those bags. Please take your seat. I will just make a cup of drinks." Aliyah said with a smile on her face.

"My pleasure. You're welcome. Thank you." Atif said as he sat down on a coach near the window.

From the window of Amaya's room he can see the perfume factory owned by his grandfather Harris. It is located on the opposite side a few meters away from the apartment.

Atif smiled because it means he can visit Amaya often for the next few days even though he is busy managing the factory.

Atif didn't notice that Aliyah was looking at him while making a cup of tea. She is planning what she will do to annoy Atif so that he won't come back to her place. The bad side of her personality is manifesting that's why Aliyah is acting like that. It doesn't want to get close to Atif while the other side of her personality wants to see Atif and talk to him. Her personality begins splitting again as well as her emotions. As always the bad side wins when her psychological disorder is manifesting.

Aliyah is finished making two cups of tea. She carries it to where Atif is sitting. She stand in front of Atif then she asked Atif this question;

"Coffee or Tea?" Aliyah asked.

"Coffee." Atif said.

"You're wrong it's tea." Aliyah said and then she gave the cup of tea to Atif.

Aliyah sees the hesitation on his face to accept the cup of tea. And Aliyah knew what the reason was. Aliyah smiled triumphantly.

Even though Atif doesn't like to drink tea he just accepts the cup of tea that Amaya is offering. He doesn't want Amaya to get offended.

"Thanks Amaya. But I thought I could choose between coffee and tea." Atif said then he smiled at Aliyah.

Aliyah laughed.

"I didn’t say you have to choose between coffee and tea. I asked you to guess what is inside the cup. Your guess was wrong. It's not coffee. It's tea." Aliyah said.

"Okay." Atif said.
