Mind Games - Win or Lose

Chapter - 6

Two days later when Kiraz was down for her afternoon nap Eda was getting ready to go back to the annex for a bit when Aydan called to her, "Eda? Could you wait for a moment?"

"Aydan hanim? Did you need something?"

Aydan and Seyfi walked over to the table by the pool and sat with their papers, "We have nanny candidates coming to be interviewed, we thought that you might want to sit in and talk to them since they will be watching your daughter."

Eda didn't know that Serkan was hiring another nanny, she was enjoying taking care of Kiraz, Aydan hanim had mentioned divorce, maybe he was tired of waiting for her memories to come back? What had Dr. Sayir told her? She erased him so he could erase her, but she was trying. Didn't he know that she was trying? Probably not since she was only trying with Kiraz and had made no effort with him. She guessed if these were older women she could sit and interview them, "Oh, yes, I can stay. I'm sure that we can find a good candidate. So they will just come in during the day?"

Aydan saw that Eda was looking at her nails, she and Seyfi looked at each other, the con was on, "Of course we have good candidates. However the nanny will live with Serkan 24/7. Someone has to be there to help him with Kiraz. There's a guest room across from Kiraz's bedroom just down the hall from Serkan's bedroom."

Eda's head came up, "Oh, I would think that a nanny would want space on a separate floor but if that's what's available then that should work."

Aydan shuffled the papers, "Of course there's a guest suite on the first floor but I think that Serkan would want the nanny to be as close as possible.

Seyfi looked at the CV for the first candidate. A very beautiful blonde haired blue eyed woman with long legs and a rather large bosom was shown to the table. Eda thought she wasn't quite nanny material, she read the CV that Seyfi handed her, no, this woman wouldn't do. Eda asked her several questions in English making notes, when she left Eda said her grasp of the language just wasn't what it should be. Seyfi and Aydan almost choked when Eda made that comment since the woman was an American and English was her native language.

The next candidate was a petite red head with hazel eyes, before she walked out to the patio Seyfi said to Aydan in a loud whisper 'she and Serkan bey would make a stunning couple'. Eda wanted to yell at Seyfi that Serkan bey was married but she couldn't. They interviewed the young woman, she was nice, but Aydan actually started sneezing at her perfume so the interview had to be cut short. Seyfi whispered again 'perfume can be changed, think about it they would have beautiful children'. Eda stared at the paper in front of her. They would have beautiful children? What about Kiraz? What about the baby she was pregnant with?

The next three candidates were more beautiful than the first two and Eda found fault with each of them. Eda said that the first one spit when she talked, the second one seemed to be too interested in money, 'did you see how she was looking at the estate?' and the third one dressed too provocatively to be taken seriously on an interview.

Aydan pretended exasperation, "Eda all of these women have been perfectly good candidates, we have one more woman to interview. If she doesn't spit or wear obnoxious perfume then I'm probably going to hire her but I'll send her to Serkan first. He can talk to her over dinner."

"You'd send him on a date with her? Are these the only candidates that there were? Aren't there any older women? Maybe women in their fifties? Motherly women?" Eda was incredulous. Were they interviewing for a nanny or a new wife?

Seyfi frowned at Eda, "Really Eda, so what if he takes her on a dinner date? Let's bring her out."

The woman was stunning, long black hair and crystal blue eyes, Eda could find no fault with her CV. The only thing she found fault with was that she would live with Serkan. Eda realized that she was jealous. She might not have any memory of Serkan but she knew jealous and she knew that no other woman was going to live in her house with her husband and take her place. Eda shocked herself with that thought. Her heart was pinching at the idea of Serkan replacing her. She shocked herself even more that she was thinking of Serkan as her husband and being possessive of him.
