Samiha : lily I am here ( she waved at a worker there and she came running to her)

(a young girl in her teens with pitch black hair and Ocean blue eyes stood infront of them) 

Samiha : are the jwels pure? 

Lily: yes! Off course they are as pure as a new born 

(lily gestured them to follow them to the top floor and told them to enter the last room in the end of the hallway) 

Zunisha : are you sure we are at the right place? (She said confused)

Samiha : (nods in agreement) just trust me ( she said with a smile) 

(Samiha knocked the door and a deep pitch voice of woman who is in her 30s answered) 

The woman : who's it? 

Samiha : I am here to see the jwels which are as pure as a new born

The woman : then please come in and let them captivate you 

( the door opened and a woman in her 30s ,dark skin ,deep brown hair and black eyes appeared and gestured them to come in)  

Samiha : long time no see Amber! 

Amber: yes its been long Samiha, come sit ( she said in a welcoming manner)

(she gestured them to sit on the sofa in front of them , they both sat and Zunisha scanned the room, it was a cozy room with a fireplace at the centre and a desk with the piles of paperwork overflowing from the table on the left and a seating area with a centre table between the sofas)

Amber: who is this guest that we have here, care to introduce Smaiha? 

Samiha : of course, this is my best friend Zunisha ( Amber cuts her in between) 

Amber: oh you mean Zarqash Zunisha, the young herbalist who has magic in her hands which makes the magical herbal medicine? 

Samiha, : you are right! And iam not surprised at all that you know about her 

Zunisha : ( she raised her eyebrow ) but how do you exactly know about me? I mean i am not that famous for rumors or news about me to spread around 

Amber : ah, I also know that you got a big order from the viscountess recently, didn't you? 

Zunisha : yes..... But how did you know about that i haven't told anyone about it..

(Amber glances at Samiha)

Amber : so you didn't tell her about me did you?

Samiha : that.... 

Amber : I am Amber Gray and the owner of the intelligence agency, nice to meet you Zunisha (she said with folded hands and with a sly smile on her face) 

(Zunisha was not shocked at all, it was as if she saw this coming) 

Zunisha : oh, i knew about that, and nice to meet you too 

(Amber was not shocked at all too) 

Samiha: How?... When? ( She was shocked)

Zunisha : the moment we stepped in i saw the piles of papers and i mean it was obvious that she is the owner as we came to find the intelligence agency and one more thing you guys used code words too, didn't you? 

(Samiha frowned a little) 

Samiha : as expected of my logical Zunisha , now it feels like I am the only dumb person here.......

Amber : lets talk about the business (she rang a the bell which was on the table beside her) 

( lily appeared) 

Amber : close the door and don't let anyone come in here without my permission and bring us some tea 

(Lily nodded and followed the orders) 

Amber: you can sit freely and take you niqab off if you want, no one will dare to interrupt us 

(they both took there niqabs off )

Amber : so how can I help? 

Zunisha : we want the information about the McMillan dukedom and Gholen county

(Amber looked amused by Zunisha's straightforwardness)

Amber : i wont ask why, but how will you pay me in return? ( She said with a cunning tone)

Zunisha : what do you want? I know you don't need money from me

Amber: (chuckled) oh you are a smart one i see, hmmmm, so lets do this I will fulfill your order and in future you have to mine, deal? 

Zunisha : deal ( she said bluntly)

Amber :that was quick ,so lets see what exactly do you need from me? 

(they herd a knock on the door and it was lily with tea and refreshments, Amber told her to come in and serve it to them) 

Zunisha : i need to know any past crimes of count Gholen and how many people work in McMillan dukedom and there background checks, can you do that? 

Amber: and till when do you need this information? 

Zunisha : as soon as possible 

Amber : are 3 days ok? 

(Zunisha looked surprised by her commitment) 

Zunisha : sure.. But is that much time enough? 

Lily : you don't have to be so surprised, our lady amber is the only person who handles the whole agency after all 

( Amber let out a laugh) 

Amber: you don't have to worry about that

( Zunisha gave a satisfied smile and they talked about it in more detail for some time ) 

Zunisha :then i will be here in 3 days again, now i think we should get going 

Amber : yes, i will meet you then 

(They left and as Zunisha and Samiha were coming down through stairs Zunisha bumped into someone ) 

Zunisha : i am so sorry , i didn't see you coming

( a muscular and dark skinned and deep brown hair and black eyes came between them) 

Man : do you even know who you bumped into?

Zunisha : excuse me, how will i know who it is i am meeting them for the first time, right? 

Man : ( he let out a ignorant laugh) oh so you are a commoner i see 

Zunisha : and what if i am ( she said frustrated)

( the person who was observing the conversation now stepped in) 

Person :i am very sorry my lady my knigh.... I mean my friend is quite reckless, and you Alan we need to have a nice talk later (he gave Alan a death stare) 

Alan :but sir, she bumped into you first 

( that person came in front and that showed his face and gestured Alan to stand beside him. He was tall and with pitch black hair and Hazel eyes with refined features ) 

( they both saw each other and shifted their eyes and didn't meet their eyes the entire conversation) 

Zunisha : may i know who you are?

Person : oh where are my manners, let me introduce myself, I am Hashim, I am a foreigner i came here from Labika, and i am sorry once again for the inconvenience 

Zunisha : well its ok 

Hashim : you are very kind hearted my lady, thank you for forgiving his ignorance 

Hashim:(still eyes not meeting hers) i think i should take my leave my lady, so please excuse me 

Zunisha : oh yes, its no problem, i think i took a lot of your time. 

(Hashim and Alan went upstairs in a hurry)

Zunisha : just what was that knight's problem, seriously he was so rude! (Zunisha told gritting her teeth) 

Samiha : i know right!, but his friend was so kind and well mannered and did you see? How well he was treating you as if you really were a lady of a noble household .

Zunisha :i think that is common manners nothing special ( she said indifferent), anyway i think you have something to tell me don't you? about how you know lady Amber? ( Zunisha gave Samiha a death stare) 

Samiha : umm...that, come with me i will tell you everything ( she said nervously)

Zunisha : where? 

Samiha :some cafe maybe, i am hungry anyway , i know a Halaal place nearby come with me (she led her to the cafe) 

(when Zunisha entered, she saw the cafe covered in a black and gold elegant them and when she was looking around a beautiful Arabic calligraphy caught her eyes )

Zunisha : Subhanallah! Its so beautiful! (In awe)

Samiha : i know right! It is my fifth time here but i get astonished everytime i see it.

( on the wall was written لِلَّٰهِ ٱلْحَمْدُ ( Alhamdulillah) )

Zunisha : allahumma barik, 5th time? Isn't it expensive? 

Samiha : it is but i always come here with my brother so he pays for it so, i don't really have to worry that much about money,

Samiha :(still smiling widely) yes that's that, actually my brother is friends with the owner of this cafe .

( Zunisha doesn't look surprised as Samiha comes from a fallen noble family which once owned an estate and the title of marquis, they still hold the title but no power)

Samiha : lets sit at that table
