Tani's POV

"Hello! Miss Tani, I'm Mr. Sheikh Shehryar, the CEO of this company."

I looked at him with horror and amazement and cursed under my breath

'Shit', I'm sure, my face would be red with embarassment, why didn't I see this coming?

CEO, he is the CEO ? Tani.... you're so dead now, he'd never ever even think about to consider you, OMG! What am I gonna do now? This was the best opportunity and I lost it, I lost it. I knew that, nothing good can ever happen to me. I don't know why I still have hope, why I still think everything would be in my favour or everything would be fine, although it's not like that, it's not a fairy tale that I'd just think and my every wish would come true. I tried to stand again when my leg twitched and I again fell down while holding my leg. How am I gonna walk now? It's hurting me. 

I looked at that man for some help and I again found him lost. Then I started studying him, I don't know why but I think I've seen that man before, but I couldn't remember where I've seen him, maybe I'm just thinking too much, yeah---maybe.

I was thinking when he said,

"Ohh, sorry---um--h--how can I help you? I mean how-- can I touch you?" I looked at him with horror, what does he mean by 'can I touch you?' Is he mad or what?

"Sorry?" I asked, he looked confused, he ran his fingers through his hairs right when I noticed him more, he had black short hairs, he looked just some inches taller than me, he had brown eyes, slight fair colour and having a french beard on his chin just like Rez-- Not again Tani, stop it. Yeah, right... Okay, Focus on this man. Yeah this man...

Well he was not so handsome but attractive, having a great personality like a business man. He was dressed in his black dress pants with off white shirt and black coat and that's how I realized he really look like a CEO, why didn't I notice that before? Wait..... Did I just really encourage myself to check out this man? This? Now, I really think I'd surely be in hell after death for checking out every man. I sighed and looked at him again for any answers and he looked lost, again lost? I mean, what's his problem? He don't like nervous people but this time he himself looks so nervous, was that receptionist lying? Most Probably. 

I interrupted him from his thoughts,

"Excuse me?" He looked at me with wide eyes and then he quickly changed his expression and bend down infront of me and without my permission he grabbed me from my back, with other hand under my knees, picked me up in a bridal style and quickly took me inside of his room. How could he picked me up so easily, I'm sure, I'd be heavy. Wait what? Tani what are you even thinking about, you should scold him for carrying you like this, who was he to touch you? My subconscious was glaring at me and I face palmed myself and then shouted, 

"WTH! Why did---no how did you touch me?"

"I'm sorry but I had to, I saw everyone was looking at you while you were on the floor, it looked so embarassing, I had to and I asked you before, but you didn't answer me, so what could I do?"

"I asked you what did you mean, If I'd not answer you that means you could do anything with me?" I said glaring at him,

"Maybe." He smirked and I felt, I should kill this man for touching me. I mean how could he?

Then he placed me on the nearest couch and sat beside me right when I looked around and noticed his room, his big or spacious, but beautiful room. The walls were shiny white tiled and the room was covered with brown carpet, there were black and white round couches with the black cute round tables, on the right or left side of the entrance of the room and a large shiny black colored table in the front and centre of the room with three black big comfortable chairs, and beautiful black porcelain vases in the corners. 

'What is it with black? It'd probably be his favorite color.' I thought and again my eyes fell on the view behind the table.

'Wow!'

 There was a big glass window behind the table and chair that was showing the best view of the city, I wondered how it'd look like at night time.

"Like what you see?" Huh? Did I say that out loud ? I turned around and find him so close to me, I felt uncomfortable with his closeness to me and I quickly backed away a little and when I moved,

"Oww!" I cried out in pain, shit, I can't even move a bit, I don't know, why it's hurting so much, I didn't realize when tears started flowing down my face due to pain and he stood up and panicked,

"I'm really really sorry, I didn't know that you two would be behind the door, I'm really sorry." I tried to give him my best angry look although I know it'd be a pained one.

"Is it hurting so bad?" I frowned at him and replied,

"Obviously, cause you hurt me so bad." He quickly moved towards his table while saying,

"I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry, just a second." I ignored him and held my leg and tried to move it up so that I could see where it has hurt but it was hurting so badly that it wasn't even moving a bit. Then I heard,

"Send medical team in my room, NOW!" He shouted on phone and I almost jumped in my place. Then he turned around and said,

"They are coming--I mean doctors, doctors are coming, you'll be fine." I nodded and he came quickly towards where I was sitting and again sat beside me and he was about to touch my leg when I shouted,

"No! -- I mean-- It's hurting, don't touch it."

"But let me see atlea--"

"No! I told you, please." I pleaded. That's true it was hurting so much and also I can't let him touch me again, I don't know if he'd be intentionally trying to touch me again and again, then? How can I trust him?

After about 5-10 minutes, they came, the medical team, having two doctors (male and female both) and others, they were probably be assistants for helping them but I'm not so injured that it'd require 7 people to treat me. The female one came forward greeted me and said,

"What happened?" 

Then I explained her everything pointing towards my leg and she leaned down before me while examining my foot ankle and toe, wherever she touched it hurt a lot, then she applied some cream there slowly and it started soothing me, she told me,

"No outer injury but it looked like inner bone twisting." Then she looked at CEO like talking to him through eyes and then he interrupted,

"Miss Tani, I wanna say something." I gestured him to proceed while that doctor was still caressing my ankle and he started,

"When could you join? I mean it's Friday today, how about from Monday?" I looked at him with shock, Is he really asking me to join his company? I said,

"How? I mean----"

"Oww." I cried out so loud that everyone was looking at me with shock and the tears were flowing down and that doctor was smiling at me when I looked at her, she asked me to move it and I did as she said and for my amazement, there was no pain now, where it was before but still she gave me that ointment and asked me to apply it whenever I feel pain and I thanked her and then they all went out.

When they all have gone, that man gestured me to come towards the table and I followed him to the table, he settled on the main chair and I sat on the other one, then he asked me,

"Can I have a look on your CV?" I nodded, took it out from my bag and handed it to him, he looked at it for a while then he said,

"I was not lying when I asked you to join, when could you join us?" I looked at him with amazement and asked,

"Are you sure? But you didn't take my interview yet, then?"

"Ohh, it doesn't matter, I'm sure you'd be an asset for this company, your qualifications, your skills, your confidence---everything meets our requirements, it'd be good for the company to have an employee like you." I smiled at his comment for me, okay, he's not that bad that I thought about him. Geeezz! I am so much excited about it.

"Thank you! thank you so much. From Monday? I can join from Monday. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, it'd be great." I sighed in relief then I asked,

"You're hiring me as an internee?" It was more of a question but he got it and replied,

"Yeah, paid internship, we'll train you till one month then you'll be officially working as HR Excutive." My eyes got wide, HR Executive? But I don't have any experience, he seemed to get my confusion so he replied,

"I know what you're thinking, you've no experience right?" I nodded then he said,

"I know, but that doesn't matter, cause in this whole month we'll train you and you'll learn alot about our company and how it works and everything, after that we'll take your quick review or feedback about your learning and our company, if we'd think you still need some time then we'll extend your internship before handling you this big responsibility, okay?"

"Okay." I agreed and smiled at him, he was talking to me so gently like I'd be some kid. Even I think I know his voice too, but where I've heard him? 

Then I asked,

"Any more questions if you wanna ask? or Is it done here? Can I go now?" He thought for a while then he replied,

"No, no. No more questions, you can go now." I thanked him more happily and apologised for my mistakes and he said,

"No, I apologise, It was really my mistake." I smiled and quickly got up from the chair and was about to leave when he asked,

"Tani?" I turned and asked,

"Yes."

"Do you know the way down there?" I realized that I don't know, I shook my head negatively and he said,

"Okay, follow me." I nodded and followed him. I thought he'd just drop me to the lift but he came all the way down to drop me and then I quickly greeted him,

"Thankyou so much, Allah Hafiz." I said and he replied,

"Allah Hafiz Tani." With that I turned around and started towards the main exit. I was amazed how fine my leg was and I was feeling sorry for shouting at him, but I wondered, he is the CEO of this company, do he really drop his every employee till the main exit or Is it just for me? 

Thinking that happily, I headed out and found Faiz waiting for me. I sighed, It'd be hard but I've to ask him to drop me to the hospital, I need to meet him.

Sheikh's POV

My eyes were continuously on her when she was heading out of my company. She was so close to me, so--so close, and I couldn't do anything, the girl that I was finding like a maniac, after one whole fucking year, she was just here, infront of me and I couldn't tell her anything. She probably didn't recognise me and I'm really thankful to God for that cause if she'd, she'd be surely again left me. I know her, she has really lose temper. She can't even stand the fact that I was the one, I was the one who encountered her that night. But the thing that I don't get is, who is she to Rezay?

*FLASHBACK*

5 Days Before.

I just woke up and was lying on my bed about 6:00 A.m in the morning when my phone went off, who the hell is that now? In this early morning who'd be calling me, I quickly took my phone from other side of the bed and read the caller ID,

Rez Rez is calling you.

What's his problem, why he is calling so early? I'm not his girl friend, whom he can call anytime. I touched the green option and said,

"WTH is wrong with you Rezay?"

"Assalam-o-Alaikum Sherry, Manners?" He said,

"Yeah yeah, Walaikum Assalam." He sighed then said,

"I want a favour from you."

"What?" I asked, he was about to say something when I interrupted,

"Don't tell me to be your fucking girl friend, cause I'm not gay." I chuckled while saying that.

"Ohh shutup Sheikh, Listen!" He said and then I said nothing,

"I want you to hire a girl, I know you have a vacancy in HR and I want you to hire that girl. So, please." I was shocked, he didn't ask me for any favour before, although I asked him lots of times but he never.

"Who is that girl and why'd I hire her?" 

"Cause I'm saying you to do that." I sighed, he is so dominant sometimes,

"But Rezay, who is she?"

"She is-- uh-- whatever she is to me, you don't have a fucking right to ask me that, just do as I'm saying cause I know your all black businesses and I can expose you so easily, you know me."

"You don't have to threaten me everytime?"

"Yes, I do have to, If you'd not do what I'm saying."

"Okay, okay, I would, but I don't have her CV, how am I suppose to call her?"

"Ask me for her number, I'm giving you, but don't even think about trying on her, if I'd see anything like---"

"Yeah yeah, I know, I know. You'll expose me."

"Yeah. That's like a good boy, now call her as soon as possible, I'm texting you her number and required details, make any excuse that you got her CV from any social jobs portal or etc etc, It's upto you now."

"Am I not supposed to tell her that it's your reference?"

"No, don't tell her about me, make any excuse." It's weird, he is asking me to hire her and he is telling me not to tell her that.

"But why?"

"It's none of your business. Tell me when you would have done that."

"Okay but---" He didn't even listen to me and with that he hung up.

*PRESENT*

How Rezay knows Tani? Did I miss something?

I have to find out.

Okay Rezay asked him to hire Tani, that means he's still in her life, Wow! But why did he asked him to hire her. Lots of questions, lots of questions. xD
