“Do you not see us in the middle of something?” Daaliyah snapped.
“I am sorry. The sheikh had previously instructed me to let him know when Sheikh Boutros called.”
Daaliyah’s eyes flew wide open. Rania and Marina both gasped and looked at the maid. Sheikh Solomon immediately took the phone from the maid. Olivia raised her eyebrows. She remembered Sheikh Boutros from earlier. She was curious as to why the mood changed when his name was mentioned.
“Hello, Sheikh Boutros,” said Sheikh Solomon. His wife and his daughters had their eyes glued on him. “I did not expect to hear from you so soon,” he continued. He went silent for a moment as he was listening to Sheikh Boutros.
“What?” said Sheikh Solomon. His eyes opened wide. “Really?” he asked. He went silent for a moment. “Are you sure?” he finally asked. He nodded. “I will let her know. Okay, goodbye.”
“What did he say?” Daaliyah asked her husband.
“Who did he pick?” Marina asked. Sheikh Solomon remained silent. His face was strained with shock. He picked up his cup of tea and took a sip.
“Well, say something.” Daaliyah was clearly getting impatient.
The sheikh took a deep breath.
“Olivia,” he said quietly.
“Yes?” Olivia answered.
“Why are you bringing her into this when we are waiting for an answer?” Daaliyah asked.
“Sheikh Boutros picked Olivia,” said Sheikh Solomon.
“What?” Daaliyah and her daughters shouted at once.
Jacob burst into laughter. “What an interesting turn of events,” he said.
Olivia and Daya looked at each other. They were the only ones that did not know what was going on.
“Why on earth would he pick her?” Rania asked. Her face was turning red. She looked at Olivia. “Why did you have to come here?” she shouted at her.
Olivia looked at Sheikh Solomon for an answer.
“What is going on?” Daya asked.
“Basically Sheikh Boutros came here to pick a wife between my sisters and it seems that he wants to marry Olivia,” Jacob explained. Marina frowned at him.
“What?” Olivia spat out.
“This man, Sheikh Boutros wants to marry Olivia? But he does not know her,” said Daya.
“Exactly. How can he say that he wants to marry me? He only saw me for like two minutes.”
“I will not allow this to happen. He has to marry one of my daughters,” said Daaliyah. She looked at Olivia. “Shouldn’t you be on your way back to America?” she asked her.
“As soon as I speak with Sheikh Solomon, I will head back,” said Olivia.
“Can’t you stay at a hotel or something?” Marina asked.
“That is enough,” said Sheikh Solomon. “Olivia is my child and she is welcome in my home. As for Sheikh Boutros, he wishes to marry Olivia. I am just as shocked as all of you. However, it is his choice. So stop chastising Olivia about it.”
“It does not matter what he wishes. I am not going to marry him. I will finish my business with Sheikh Solomon and go back home. So you all can stop worrying about my presence,” said Olivia. She rose to her feet and stalked to the exit.
