33 It can't be her
It was a busy Monday for Raymond. He had back to back plan etings and organization re-structuring etings. On top of that, he had to fit in the special interview request for the so-called intern. Her interview was scheduled at 2:00 p.m. and since he was attending etings till lunchti, he didn't have the opportunity to go through her resu.
Chloe, who was Delphi's HR head, had already printed two copies of the candidate's resu and had placed it on his desk. After coming back from the eting Raymond picked up the resu and started going through it.
The mont he saw the candidate's na on the resu his eyes popped wide open in shock.
'Akira Peyton'
Masters in Graphic design
University of Cincinnati
It can't be. Raymond was shocked and went into denial. He grabbed the second copy of the resu just to confirm if the na was sa and he was not hallucinating. Unfortunately, it was still the sa - Akira Peyton. He couldn't believe his luck. It couldn't be her. He tried to console himself by thinking that probably it was just another person with the sa na.
His mind was racing back and forth rembering the pleasant company that he had last week in the flight. Her face, her smile, her tears, her talks everything was deeply imprinted in his mind. They had hardly talked a couple of sentences max, but her innocent face was building a web and was drawing him inside. Her tender touch when she had applied the ointnt, her happy smile after finding out that the chocolates were complentary, her teary eyes filled with hundreds of emotions shook him deeply.
The image of her boarding pass flashed in his head which he still possessed in the top drawer of his side table. The next mont he rembered the episode where he tore her letter out of anger. The image of her trapped in the arms of a random person at Tony's started flashing in his head and he started becoming restless again. He was shocked to see himself getting so much affected just by seeing her na.
He gasped for air.
"Probably I am overthinking", Raymond thought.
He drank a glass of cold water and tried to shrug off all the thoughts of her.
But unfortunately, he couldn't.
The anticipation was killing him. Initially, he had thought of having a quick bite before starting the interview but now he was sitting in the room, all dazed. He felt that the hands of his clock had started moving at a slower rate.
Even though he was hurt after seeing her with another guy his heart was still restless and wanted to et her and have a glimpse of her as soon as possible. He was not able to understand what was wrong with him. He felt like she had made him drink so magic potion and now he was totally under her control.
He started pacing inside his room. He was unable to keep his head steady. So he picked up another project file thinking that he could distract his mind by checking the financial estimations, but his heart had so other plans. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't focus on the numbers, which was so unlike him.
For so many days he had the urge to check her profile on Facebook but he had sohow restrained himself. But sothing got into him and he opened this laptop and searched for people on Facebook with na Akira Peyton. There were a couple of suggestions but there was only one Akira Peyton from the University of Cincinnati and when he saw her picture his brows were knitted.
It was her. Definitely her.
The cloud of doubts which he had started vanishing away. He beca even more restless after getting the surety that it was her. His heart was entering the happy zone because deep down he always wanted to et her. he always felt that there was sothing which was left incomplete. but his mind instructed him otherwise.
Now he knew who the other guy was who was embracing her at the karaoke station. It was Vikram. The whole connection beca crystal clear. After having a break up with her boyfriend sohow she had managed to trap Vikram. In the business world, everybody knew that Vikram had a hard exterior which was difficult to breach but sohow she had manage to do it. This girl was definitely sothing.
"Maybe she is really good at trapping guys. Vikram was probably just a money vending machine for her whom she was using to elevate her career as well." thought Raymond and looked at his watch. It was 1:55 pm.
He took a deep breath to relax himself.
"She might have used Vikram but she will not be able to play with ", thought Raymond and called up Chloe to inform her that he was ready for the interview.
