Chapter 5: Mistaken Identity

"Oh no, not again. What is he doing here?" Maya exclaimed in frustration.

"You mean him?" Thomas asked, pointing at the man in the suit.

"Never mind, I'll handle this," Maya replied with determination.

Before Thomas could explain who the man in the suit was, Maya approached him angrily.

"Hey you, remember our deal?" Maya confronted the man.

Caught off guard, he didn't have a chance to respond before Maya delivered a resounding slap to his face, causing a collective gasp in the room. Everyone trembled, unsure of how the man would react.

Mr. Lee swiftly intervened, pushing Maya away from the man.

"I apologize, sir, for her actions. Please allow me to handle this," Mr. Lee pleaded with the man.

Confused, the man in the suit asked, "Who is she? And why did she slap me?"

"Forgotten my face already?" Maya said with a hint of sarcasm. "Well, let me refresh your memory. I was the 'crazy lady' causing a scene at your office this morning." Maya explained, hoping that her appearance with different makeup and clothes had made her unrecognizable.

The man in the suit looked at Maya, trying to place her face amidst the confusion. Maya noticed his puzzled expression and decided to give him a clue.

"You see, I understand I might look a bit different now with the makeup and these clothes," Maya explained, gesturing to her transformed appearance. "But underneath all this, it's still me, the same person who you talked dirty to, earlier this morning?"

She paused for a moment, hoping that her description would jog his memory.

"Oh, you're saying we've met before?" The man on suit inquired calmly, his patience evident. 

"Yes, of course! Like I said, I'm the lady your colleagues referred to as 'the crazy lady'" Maya replied with a hint of rudeness, mimicking quotation marks with her fingers. 

Curiosity filled the man's eyes as he sought to recall their encounter. "When and where did we meet?" he asked, genuinely puzzled.

"Are you kidding me? It was at your office, this morning!" Maya retorted sharply, her frustration apparent.

Mr. Lee, struggling to maintain his composure, intervened, "Maya, this is the CEO, and he has just arrived at work. The person you met clearly wasn't him."

Upon hearing this revelation, fear gripped Maya, and she stood frozen, staring at Mr. Lee. "He's..., are you serious?" she asked, feeling deeply ashamed of her actions.

"But...but he's the security man I encountered at the Boutique company this morning. I'm certain it was him," Maya attempted to explain, her voice filled with remorse.

"I'm guessing you mistook me for my twin brother, Tony Makin," the man on suit clarified, his tone remaining composed. 

"What...? You're twins?" Maya exclaimed, her disbelief evident.

"Yes, that's correct," Mr. James confirmed.

"Oh my God! I am so, so sorry. But did you say he's your twin brother?" Maya's voice carried a mix of shock and regret.

"Yes, he is," Makin James replied, his demeanor still calm and collected.

"But how can you be related to a security officer in that company? Especially one who is rude and selfish," Maya added, seeking an explanation.

Makin James chuckled softly before responding, "Makin Tony isn't a security..." Maya bring Maya, before he could finish his sentence, she interrupted him.

"Wait, did you say his name is Tony Makin?" Maya asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Yes, that's his name. You had sex with him and yet you don't even know him well?"

"No! I didn't..., although he wanted me to, and that's why the slap happened. I apologize once again for my actions," Maya explained, still shocked by the revelation that the security officer was actually the CEO.

"No worries, I just wish he had received the slap instead of me. I never thought any woman could resist his charms, let alone slap him. You're quite the tough one. I admire that," Mr. James replied.

"Thank you, sir. But if his name is Tony Makin, that means he owns the company where I encountered him, right?" Maya asked, seeking clarification.

"Yes, that's correct. He and I have several companies, so if you met him at his office, it's undoubtedly his company," Mr. James confirmed.

"Damn it! That Bastard! Wait, Can I call him that in front of you?" Maya asked James Makin, expressing her frustration.

"He may be my twin brother, but we are completely different individuals. Feel free to call him whatever you like," Mr. James responded with a smile.

Mr. Lee, who had been worried about Maya's fate, was relieved to see that she and Mr. James were getting along.

"So, does this mean she can still model for us?" Mr. Lee asked Mr. James, his tone filled with apprehension.

"Absolutely! In fact, it's quite intriguing. You can proceed with your modeling. By the way, you look stunning." Despite the slap, Mr. James remarked, causing them both to chuckle and share a smile.

"Thank you, sir," Maya replied gratefully.

"You're welcome. I hope you don't mind me observing? May I?" Mr. James asked politely.

"Not at all, sir. After all, you're the boss," Maya responded, and they shared another lighthearted laugh.

Thomas Aryan approached Maya and informed her that she was up next for the shoot. Maya confidently walked into the spotlight, her beauty shining alongside her dazzling dress.

Impressed by Maya's presence, Mr. James had already made up his mind. He leaned over to Mr. Lee and whispered, "I want her on the cover of the magazine."

Mr. Lee nodded, acknowledging the directive. "Not just any magazine, but a top-tier one. And make sure to forward the pictures to me as well. I'd like to have a good look at them in my office. Oh, and she can keep the dress; it suits her perfectly," Mr. James added with a touch of affection.

"Yes, sir. She will be thrilled to hear all of this. Thank you, sir," replied Mr. Lee gratefully.

Maya, meeting the Twin Billionaires changed everything for her. The thrilling saga is just about to set high.
