The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 29

9:00 am, Wednesday in Bosnia Herzegovina

H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.

Atif is at his office right now.

He is busy reviewing some documents about the hiring process of factory workers for their new company which is about to open.

The new company will start its operation by next month.

The new company is a factory which will manufacture perfumes.

They need more factory workers to start its operation.

The hiring process will start next week.

Atif is busy writing some memo in order to implement the opportunity that his grandfather Haris wants to add.

As mentioned Haris wants to give opportunity for overseas workers to work in their factory.

Especially for those applicants coming from Asian countries.

He needs to finish the memo before the hiring process starts.

He needs to prepare some documents to implement what Haris wants.

He needed to set a meeting for the Human Resource Department to give the memo for its implementation.

He called his secretary to set a meeting for him this afternoon.

Because Atif is very busy this morning he slightly forgot his thoughts about Aliyah.

Even though he was bothered by the thought about Aliyah he still needed to focus his attention on his job this morning for him to do it well. Atif finished writing the memo before launch.

After he finished doing it he decided to take his launch.

He ordered some food in the nearby restaurant.

Then asked the restaurant to deliver the food to his office.

11:00 am in Bosnia and Herzegovina

6:00 pm in Asia

Food delivery for Atif arrived at his office by 11:00 am.

He started eating his lunch.

While eating his lunch, Atif opens his phone.

He decided to send a message to Aliyah.

Aliyah is on the market place when she receives the message of Atif.

Because of that Aliyah was not able to read his message.

Aliyah is busy buying food supplies that will be consumed by her and her cousin Lena until the weekend.

For it is her day off today at work she volunteered to go to the market to buy some supplies.

Atif is waiting for Aliyah's reply but he gets nothing until his lunch break is over.

Atif was so disappointed.

He is about to go back to work but still he gets no reply from Aliyah.

Aliyah spent a few more hours in the market.

Because she decided to buy some groceries that she will bring home when he goes back to her hometown this coming weekend. The groceries are for her grandmother Elsa and for her Uncle Peter family.

Aliyah used to buy some groceries here in the city and bring it home in her hometown for the price of the items here is cheap. Aliyah has only limited money so she chose to buy here to save some money and will be able to buy more supplies. Yes Aliyah salary is in minimum wage but still she needs to save so that it will cover all their expenses in everyday living. Because the earning that his Uncle Peter gets in fishing is not enough to cover his family needs, she needs to help him.

In addition to that her grandmother Elsa is now old and cannot sell fish just as efficiently as before for most of the time Elsa is sick. Because they are important to Aliyah she oblige herself to help them.

On the other hand Atif is in the meeting now.

He discusses everything about the new memo to the Human Resource Department of the company.

After an hour the meeting was adjourned.

It's already 3:00pm.

Atif needs to attend another meeting.

The meeting will take place to the adjacent building of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.

His grandfather Haris is supposed to attend that business meeting but he is out of the country so Atif will attend on behalf of his grandfather.

On the other hand, Aliyah just got home because she was caught by the heavy traffic going back to her boarding house.

It's already 10:00 pm in the evening.

Aliyah is too tired so after changing her clothes she decided to go to sleep.

But before she goes to sleep she grabs her phone to set the alarm.

She will set the alarm because she needs to wake up early because she had to go to work tomorrow.

Aliyah opened her phone to set the alarm.

When she opened her phone she saw the message of Atif.

Atif is still using his fake account with the name Almir.

Aliyah opened the message.

"Hello. What are you doing this time?" Atif's first message said.

"Where are you? Why are you not replying to my message?" Atif second message.

When Aliyah reads his message she raises her eyebrow and types a reply.

"It's none of your business. Am I obliged to answer your message?!" Aliyah said.

Atif was already at the business meeting when he received the message of Aliyah.

When Atif feels that his cell phone vibrates he pulls it from his pocket.

Aliyah replied to his message.

Atif immediately opened her message.

Because Atif is just listening to the presenter and not the one who is presenting on the meeting he was able to answer the message.

"No. I'm sorry about those questions." Atif replied.

"Alright." Aliyah answered.

"Anyway do you work?" Atif asked.

"Yes." Aliyah replied.

"Really? So what is your work?" Atif asked.

Atif asked Aliyah about these because he wanted to know what Aliyah's were about.

Aliyah told lies to him before.

If all was lies, Atif wants to know what the truth out of those lies.

"I'm working as a factory worker." Aliyah said.

Aliyah wants to go to sleep but she keeps on replying because she wants to know how this person's name Almir related to Atif.

Aliyah wants to know why this guy chats to her.

She wants to know who this guy really is because she has had this feeling lately that maybe this guy is also Atif hiding in another account or fake account.

"That's a nice job. Do you want to work overseas?" Atif asked.

Atif smiles.

Why?

Because he got an idea that he will offer Aliyah a job in their country for him to see Aliyah in person.

The timing is good for Lamin's company, his close friend company offers also an opportunity to overseas workers just like Atif's grandfather did giving an opportunity to overseas workers to work in their company.

"Yes. If I have a chance. But I cannot afford the expenses in applying for an overseas job." Aliyah answered.

"If that would be the case maybe I can help you." Atif replied.[
