The two stood face to face in front of eachother with complete different emotions. One was drowned into the ocean of deep shock. Hayden was stunned, it would be an understatement. He felt almost numb seeing the woman standing infront of him. His eyes stuck at her face. With no control over his own body, he stood up, his hands shivering that he had to tightly clutch the desk inorder to get it stop.
A second passed, two seconds passed ...even after few seconds later when she didn't vanished, realization hit him hard. It was actually her who was standing in front of him.
On the other hand Siya was confused with everything. She observed the strange man in front of him with skeptical eyes. He hadn't made any move for her to take any action yet.
The man who might become her boss looked like he had seen a ghost. A tinge of fear rose in her heart.
'does he by any chance knows me' A little fear had now made it's way to her heart and now her senses were going on high alert. She took a step back and clenched the folder in her hand tightly only to get trip over her own foot. She fell, the folder opened, her documents got scattered in the huge cabin.
It also brought Hayden out of the haze. He walked slowly towards her who was busy collecting her paper. Hayden knew there was still something that he couldn't figure out. She acted like she didn't know him actually and he wanted to ask her that.
"I'm so sorry, I made a mess" Siya nervously chuckled. Now it Hayden's turn to get confused.
'Didn't she recognize me' He asked himself. Several questions rushed through his head. His heart was still beating madly and watching her acting like a complete stranger to him had him falling into another chaos.
He bent down and helped her in collecting some of the paper.
'Ayesha Malhotra' The same name again, he tried to compose himself and took few deep breathes and opened his eyes again. His mind was not playing games with him, she was still infront of him.
'What in the world is going on, last time the names matched but the person didn't, this time the person is same but why is the name different' He murmured. Siya who still looked at him like he was crazy talking to himself. She wanted to backoff but god she needed this job so badly.
'Oh god! blesse me.' She prayed in his head seeing the man in front of him who was pretty much very weird.
"Hello sir, I'm Ayesha Malhotra. I'm here for the interview" She said breaking him out from his wonderland.
Hayden hummed and went back to his seat. His mind still in fenzy.
"Please sit, An " He cleared his throat before speaking again.
"I meant Ms. Ayesha, Please have a seat" He said.
"Was she a wrong person again" His mind wondered but she looked the same, just her hair were cut short to her shoulder now but his heart knew that she was the same person but her mind threw at a question. 'why her name was different'.
"Sir" she called when he still went still like a mannequin. Hayden blinked several times and tried composing himself. He wasn't going to rush into anything this time.
"So tell me something about yourself ?" He asked her. She started to answer him hiding about her personal details as much as she could.
Hayden didn't hear anything that she said. He was just so lost in her. He just wanted to capture her in her heart and never let her go anywhere away from him. He knew that there could a huge possibility of her being not the one who he actually fell for. She could be a wrong woman who just seemed to look like her but his heart somewhere was very sure that this was his angel. His angel.
"I'm very much impressed by your answers, Ms. Ayesha" Siya smiled hearing his words.
"Congratulations, you have been hired" Hayden gave her the file. She thanked him for the opportunity and promised to work for him with full dedication and honesty.
She took her bag and folder and started to walk outside only to get still in her tracks when she heard that one familiar word.
'Siya'
Hayden called and as expected she stilled in her tracks. Her heart throbbed as she heard him call that. How did he knew her real name. Several red lights flickered in her head. Danger. Danger. Her mind yelled. Her breathing pattern got frantic. She just wanted to go and hide somewhere along with her kids.
She slowly turned back and looked at hayden. Her eyes screamed pure terror. She was like a deer caught in headlights. Breathing heavily she turned back, her grip tightly clutching her bag. She regretted coming for this job inerview.
'was he someone who was here to harm her' several such thoughts occupied her head.
She looked at him with no emotions and a blank face. All ready to face him. She slowly dug her hand inside her bag to get her weapon and ready to attack him. She knew he was no match to him but the mother in her didn't care about any of it. She would kill him if it meant to protect her kids from any harm.
Hayden walked towards her with several different emotions. He knew at that moment that she was his siya. He was overwhelmed already but he needed to stay calm and compose. He needed to be very patient. The woman infront of him was full of mystery and he had to solve everything, starting from the very first, her identity.
"See ya, tomorrow" Hayden lightened the sudden change in the atmosphere around them. Siya's grip loosened on the small weapon that she had inside her bag but she didn't remove her hold off it. An awkward smile made to her lips.
"you to Mr. King" She replied curtly and left his cabin.
