A multi billionaire and a personality to match, he had an attitude to die for, he was suave, smooth, sophisticated, charismatic, intelligent and not to forget drop dead gorgeous.
At the age of 27 he had it all, he was at the top of every list you could think of, he was the best of the best, a perfectionist, if there ever was one.
Two sides to a coin? There were definitely two sides to Asad Ahmed Khan's personality, he took his work and professional life seriously, he was determined and focused, and then he took his personal life just as seriously, he lived in the moment, for the moment, his life outside his empire was filled with nothing but fun and a non-stop adrenaline rush.
A girl who just stepped out of College with a zest for life, an ambition to succeed and be nothing but happy. A positive aura surrounded her, an innocent soul who stood up for the world stood with her arms out ready to embrace everything life was going to throw her way.
Zoya Farooqui, a 21 year old girl from the heart of Delhi made her way up with nothing but will power and a lot of faith in the powers above.
Zoya stood in front of a sky scraper, a building that stood out a mile not only for its panache and amazing architecture but for the words embedded in it Khan - The World Begins Here'
How true were his words for the hundreds of people that worked for him, and how true for the hundreds of people that would give up anything to be a part of his empire.
Zoya along with 30 other lucky individuals was chosen to apply for a post graduate internship. Zoya had applied to work in the agricultural department; she had five people to compete with. In total there were 6 departments and only 6 people were going to be offered an internship that lasted for a year.
The process was not easy, the 30 people sitting with her had been shortlisted based on their applications, they were first going to sit a test, it was only if they scored well enough they were going to be interviewed.
As the 30 nervous individuals sat there a young girl, who looked no less than a super model came towards them 'Good morning, thank you for all coming. As you know you will all have to sit a test first, the test will last an hour, after which you will all be escorted to the restaurant upstairs, you can help yourselves to anything you would like to eat or drink. Once we have the results of the tests you will be called in for an interview. With everything that needs to be done we envisage that you will finish by 3pm the latest. Those who will be selected for the internship will receive a text message or email by 7pm this evening. If you are one of the lucky ones you will be required to start on Monday, a full time table and schedule will be posted out to you. You have been split into 6 groups depending on what department you applied for. Good luck'.
A few other members of staff came forward and started to call out names, as Zoya's name was called she stood up and followed 4 other people to a room that was based on the ground floor. Zoya felt her stomach churn, being an A* student she needn't be worried but being in the environment she was, her nerves got the better of her.
As soon as the young man called out Zoya turned over her test paper and started reading through it. This could have easily been the longest one hour of her life, having finished the test ahead of time;she found it difficult to sit still. Zoya sighed in relief as the man asked them to put their pens down.
As her group were escorted to the restaurant she saw others soon join them. The restaurant was situated on the tenth floor, as soon as the lifts opened they found themselves in the restaurant and there really was no word to describe its magnificence. Asad Ahmed Khan not only had class and an eye for detail but he had impeccable taste. Overly impressed with her surrounding Zoya stepped in and followed the group to an area that had been reserved for them.
'Does everyone in here look like a super model?' she asked herself as a number of waitresses approached them to take their orders. Zoya herself was beautiful; she had flawless skin, big brown eyes, hair that was long and a smile that was enough to melt anyone's heart. Zoya's beauty wasn't what she flaunted; she hid behind an image, an appearance that didn't always wash well with others. Zoya was a geek; an overly intelligent young girl who paid no attention to her looks, to her it was what was on the inside that was important.
The people around her, especially the girls gave her odd looks but she wasn't fazed by them, she was used to people looking at her oddly. She wore her hair back in a pony, big thick glasses and an outfit she pulled together that made no fashion sense at all. Zoya didn't have many friends and the friends she did have loved her for who she was, she was special, very special, she brought with her a sense of calm, and she truly was an amazing person to those who knew her.
Standing by the window Zoya looked out onto the streets of Delhi, she loved her city, it had given her everything. Lost in thought she didn't realise that the lady from downstairs had returned.
'Excuse me Miss' 'huh...oh sorry, yes' 'if you could join the rest of us, I have the results' Zoya gave her a nervous smile and then went to sit with everyone else.
'We have the results, we have taken the top two marks from each group to go through the next round, and that is the interview stage. Ok group 1...' the lady went through the first four groups and then finally came to Zoya's 'for agriculture we have Mr Raman Patel and Miss Zoya Farooqui' Zoya's eyes widened in disbelief, she then started smiling, she almost yelped but held back seeing others look at her.
Stepping forwards with her beaming smile she thanked the lady. Those who had been selected for interviews were taken up to the twelfth floor; they were sat outside a row off five offices. 'You will each be called in turn for your interviews, once you have had your interview you are free to go, we will contact you by this evening to let you know if you have succeeded. Good Luck'
'I wonder if Mr Khan will be conducting any of the interviews himself?' A girl sitting opposite her asked 'I have heard that his staff hardly see him, only his very close personal members, the rest of the work is done through delegation' 'have you seen him, I mean do you know what he looks like?' 'Who doesn't, the man is like a Greek God, his pictures are always plastered on every magazine' Zoya listened carefully to the conversation the two girls in front of her were having, it then dawned on her that she actually didn't know what he looked like, she had never paid much attention, she only applied for this internship because her lecturer who knew she was capable of achieving high, and the journey to fulfilling her dreams started here.
