She picked up a folder that she had retrieved from the ground after the incident. Malik’s photo was on the first page. His name, degree, and contact information were neatly printed on a resume from the same company her husband owned.

Her heart clenched. Hayes Global.

She carried the folder into her husband’s study. Richard Hayes, CEO of the firm, looked up from his laptop.

“Eleanor? You look shaken. What happened?”

Eleanor explained everything—the bus, the young man, and the folder. Richard frowned, then picked up the resume. “He was supposed to interview with us today,” he murmured.

Her eyes widened. “You mean he missed his interview because he saved Sophie?”

Richard nodded slowly. “Looks that way.”

Eleanor placed a hand on his shoulder. “You need to meet this man, Richard.”
