Obsession

4. Entered his radar

On that day, she had went to the company and the HR had directed her to the training department and for a week, she was given the training and after that she was supposed to pass an exam which she did. Now today, she was to meet the main people whom she would be working with.

"I'm the Secretary of Chief Financial Officer of this company. My name is Rafay alvi," The person introduced himself to Sheharzaad, who sat infront him.

Sheharzaad gave a nod of understanding to him.

"There are total 4 financial officers, one of them is chief while the other 3 works under him. Due to high work load, CFO, Mr. Ijaz had decided to keep 2 assistants. One is me and the other is you,"

"Ok, sir,"

"And your degree is in management and finance?"

"Yes, sir,"

"Good. Mr. Ijaz office is on 27th floor. The floor comprise of the rooms of the five important officers of company along with the CEO, Mr. Shehryaar Haider Syed,"

"Ok,"

"So let's show you your office," Rafay said, and led her towards the elevator as they both got in and he pressed the button, 27.

"What was your name?" Rafay asked her, once they were alone.

"Sheharzaad...Sheharzaad Qureshi,"

"Nice name,"

She didn't answer him. She found his compliment unnecessary.

"Why have you people specifically called me. Even my interview wasn't conducted," She asked.

"You had submitted your CV, right? We checked it and called you because you were the only one that had a degree in management and finance, that is why," Came his response. "And we like your projects as well," he answered, skipping the part out of him requesting her CV to forward to the Mr. Ijaz.

She was internally relieved now as Amna's question was repeatedly coming in her mind that why only her? It seemed like Amna was being too skeptical specially after that hotel incident.

"Okay," she shortly answered. Meanwhile, he continued talking to her but she only gave short responses as she didn't open up with people easily, specially the opposite gender.

Men were vultures, according to her. And the simple proof was what she witnessed that night in the hotel and what she experienced on daily basis. Every single men would turn around and eye a woman from head to toe when a woman would walk past them. On daily basis, she had experienced their hungry eyes checking out her and every other woman.

The door ringed open and they reached on the 27th floor. She stepped out but suddenly she felt like she got a push or something that she was about to fell, when Rafay held her arms. She instantly became active and snatched herself away from him. Instinctively, she rubbed her arm where his hands were.

"I'll show you the way," he said and moved ahead while she followed behind. The floor was spacious and so vast and big. the area was triple the size of the house where she lived in.

As soon as you would enter there was a vast lounge that was surrounded with glass walls. You could see clouds from those glass. The area was beautiful and gave her those office-like vibes. To the left was a kitchenette and to right waiting area. The floor was voluminous and capacious, almost all the offices were present along that lounge but to left there was a corridor. It wasn't quite a corridor, narrow and thin rather it was widened and even she could see that there were some rooms along that dilated corridor. She gave a cursory glance to see what's the end of that corridor and she could see a spacious lounge over there too. That area was kind of kept private from all the rooms that were present on the floor.
