His Desire ✔️ (COMPLETED)

Teaser 1

I couldn't control myself

'Mr. Zaidi had started this business from scratch. He is a self-made man.' Mr. Hooda said. Alina nodded her head and added,

- 'But his son, Haider Minhas, has made the company what it is today.' – she smiled and folded her arms resting them on the dining table, - 'he is a very focused man.' She commented.

Mr. Hooda nodded while munching on dinner. He gulped his food and added, - 'Yes. Zaidi had just set up like a skeleton of a company. The business flourished under Haider's leadership. At such a young age of thirty, he has achieved a lot.'

'Yes,' – Alina sighed, - 'But, he is very—mysterious. He gives very fewer interviews and hardly speaks in them. He is a broody man.' She shook her head and got busy with her food. Asmat smiled as she took her seat opposite her daughter.

'He is the same man whose photo was in the newspaper yesterday. The article you were reading, Haina, Alina?' She asked brightly.

Alina smiled and nodded, - 'Yes. Mom. He is the boss of Infinite Designs, where I had got my internship. I was doing my research.' She said and mindlessly put a morsel in her mouth.

Asmat shifted in her place and smiled looking at her husband, - 'It will be so nice if we get such a handsome and wealthy man like this Haider guy, Haina, Khalid.' She said with exhilaration.

Khalid doesn't look at his wife and answered, - 'Sure,'- her smile widened, and he looked at her, - 'why not get our daughter married to Haider himself.' He said seriously. Alina choked on her food while Asmat's smile faded and she straightened in her seat, looking clearly offended. Then, Khalid looked at Alina and they burst out laughing. Asmat cleared her throat and glared at the father-daughter duo. After their laughter died down, they teased her. While she twisted her lips and began to eat angrily.

Alina smiled looking at her mother. Her mother had some weird and wild thoughts. She wanted to inform her that Haider was very much out of their league and there were many women who wanted to marry him or just be with him. Also, she wanted to inform her that there were rumors of him being in a relationship with the actress Riya. If true, this would be one of his numerous relationships or affairs or flings; whatever.

Alina sighed, leaned her cheek against her palm and focused on her food. She knew dreaming of Haider was just a fantasy and not real. She was a simpleton middle-class graduate and now was going to be his employee. It will be lucky if he as much as glanced at her. But she does hope he notices her work. She planned to impress the boss with her work and get a permanent job in one of India's most reputed and successful architecture firm. 

Around 11, Haider finished preparing the final draft of his design and just then he was reminded by Banerjee that the car was ready for their travel for the meeting. Haider nodded and asked him to pack the design and his instruments. As his assistant packed his stuff and prepares his briefcase, Haider left the cabin.

He walked, busy on his phone and his guards closely followed him. Suddenly, he felt someone fall at his feet and stopped in his tracks. Taken back he almost dropped his phone but managed to hold on to it and maintain his calm. He looked down at a woman crumbled at his feet. Few papers scattered around her and her handbag lying lifelessly with make-up, tissues, sunglasses spilling out of it. The woman had her face veiled with her lustrous hair, straight chestnut brown hair. She wore a light grey pantsuit.

'Are you—' He stopped speaking as the woman's head shot up and their gaze met. Haider was taken back as her kohl laced grey eyes looked at him, into his eyes.

Ooo la la, don't underestimate yourself, Alina *winks*
