As Saad's reputation continued to grow, so did his influence in the stock market. He was no longer just a skilled investor; he was becoming a legend. With every strategic move, Saad was solidifying his place as the top trader, and his empire was starting to take shape. But as his success soared, so did the challenges he faced—not just from the market, but from life itself.
One evening, as Saad was reviewing his investments, he received a message from Zain. "We're heading out for dinner, you in?"
Saad, who had been working non-stop, decided it was time to take a break. He agreed to join Zain and Fahad for a night out. As they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a familiar face. It was Alina, a girl Saad had met a few weeks ago at a business seminar. She was smart, ambitious, and had a charm that caught Saad's attention from the moment they met.
Zain, always the playful one, nudged Saad and whispered, "Looks like someone's got a crush!"
Saad shot him a look but couldn't hide the smile that crept across his face. Alina noticed them and walked over, her smile brightening the room. "Saad! It's good to see you again," she said warmly.
Saad stood up, his heart skipping a beat, and replied, "Likewise, Alina. Care to join us?"
Alina accepted the invitation, and the four of them sat down to enjoy the evening. The conversation flowed easily, with laughter filling the air. Saad couldn't help but notice how Alina's presence made him feel at ease, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Meanwhile, across town, Huzaifa was in yet another predicament. Determined to bounce back, he had taken a risky bet on a volatile stock, hoping to recover his losses. But instead of success, he found himself in an even more ridiculous situation. While nervously monitoring the stock prices at his office, Huzaifa leaned back in his chair, only to have it collapse under him, sending him crashing to the floor.
In the chaos, Huzaifa accidentally hit the "sell all" button on his trading platform, liquidating his entire portfolio at a massive loss. As he lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling, he couldn't believe his misfortune. To make matters worse, a group of interns walked by, witnessing the entire debacle, and burst into laughter. One of the girls giggled and said, "Maybe trading isn't your thing, Huzaifa."
Back at the restaurant, Saad and Alina were deep in conversation, the chemistry between them undeniable. As the night went on, Saad found himself drawn to her not just for her beauty, but for her intelligence and passion. She shared her dreams of starting her own business, and Saad listened intently, offering advice and encouragement.
At one point, Zain, who had been observing the growing connection between Saad and Alina, decided to stir the pot. "So, Alina, Saad's pretty amazing, right? I mean, he's practically a superhero in the market."
Alina laughed, her eyes twinkling. "He is, but I think what's more impressive is how down-to-earth he is despite all his success."
Saad felt a warmth spread through him at her words. He had been so focused on building his empire that he hadn't realized how much he needed someone like Alina in his life—someone who saw him for who he really was, not just the successful trader.
As the night came to a close, Saad offered to walk Alina to her car. Under the moonlit sky, they talked about their hopes and dreams, and for the first time in a long while, Saad felt a sense of peace. As they reached her car, Alina turned to Saad, her voice soft. "I've really enjoyed tonight, Saad. I'd like to see you again."
Saad smiled, his heart racing. "I'd like that too, Alina."
As she got into her car and drove away, Saad stood there, watching her leave. He knew that this was just the beginning of something special.
Meanwhile, Huzaifa was having the worst day of his life. After the chair incident, he found himself walking home, having decided to take a break from trading. Lost in thought, he didn't notice the open manhole in front of him. In a classic moment of bad luck, Huzaifa fell right into it, his screams echoing down the street. When he finally crawled out, covered in dirt, a group of kids nearby burst out laughing, one of them yelling, "Hey mister, you should watch where you're going!"
Humiliated and exhausted, Huzaifa sat on the curb, wondering how things could get any worse. Little did he know, his rivalry with Saad was far from over.
The chapter ends with Saad back in his apartment, a small smile on his face as he thinks about Alina. But even as he embraces this new feeling, his mind is already strategizing for his next big move in the market. After all, the empire he was building wasn't just for him—it was for a future that now seemed a lot brighter.
