Aleena's pov
after dinner dad signaled us to come into the office and we followed as we reached there we entered and they signaled to sit in front of them as we never entered my dad's office before I was astonished as it was really beautiful and elegant but quickly masked it before anyone can notice me after that we started the interview and I don't when they asked me to introduce myself a sudden urge came over me to tell them about me not my family and my job experience and my previous workplace when they asked about merger I told them what I thought without using market values I know that not using market values can have a bad impact on the interviewer and after that, they present us the situation of having one lakh dollars and how to use them my mind came up with different scenes but I decided to go with investing half of the money in shareholding and keeping half of the money with me for budget and stuff after that dada asked us to leave the office and go to sleep as they will tell the result. as we were going to the room tayiba started the conversation
"so lina who do you think will get the merger head seat ?"
"I don't know as far I know stakes for you getting the seat is high"
"oh lina stop playing coy did also did pretty well "
"you know we will never win this agreement because we think that we are good so let's wait for results "
"I agree let's wait till morning as both CEOs will tell the in the morning"
"don't worry T both positions are awesome s one of us gets to become merger handling person and other become dads secretary"
"yeah I hope they have a hard time having decisions because they are making us wake up the whole night to find the result and we also have graduation tomorrow "
"T don't pray for such thing as if that happens we will meet grumpy CEOs and I have heard they are not a pretty side to see anyways let's go to sleep as we need to look good on our graduation ceremony "
"ok good night lina"
"good night T"
after that, we changed into our nightgown and went to sleep but after many times of losing and turning I still can't sleep I slept near 1 am
NEXT MORNING
I was awakened by Ryan and Shahnaz at 6 am and we had the graduation ceremony
"wake up sis "
"let me sleep I need sleep"
"no, if you sleep anymore you will get late for graduation "
that was the last nail on the coffin so I woke up brushed my teeth and took a quick shower get ready wearing a yellow frock with blue patterns on it and beneath it was blue colored jeans and yellow-colored heels and blue clutch and went downstairs for breakfast
"good morning everyone "
"good morning, "everyone said
I sat done on my usual seat between tayiba and Ryan and after breakfast dad decided to do the announcement
"my dear family members and Mr zain and Mr zayed as you all know that tayiba and aleena both signed were to interview my company for merger head place and the one who doesn't get the position of head will work under the head with Mr. Zayed till the completion of the merger and we have decided the merger head"
"dad please come to the point I think they will get heart attack till the time you announce "Ryan interrupted and said
"patience Ryan so where was I? yes so about the merger head trust me, girls, it was the hard choice to make as you both have a tough competitor and we decided to choose one, by the way, Mr zain will you like to announce the merger head "
"I will sit this one out why don't you announce "
"ok the secretary is tayiba nd merger head is aleena"
tayiba face fall a bit I guess dad noticed that and said
"and tayiba we have another announcement for you dear"
her eyes perk up and she said
"yes, dad what is it?"
"tayiba you are not only my secretary but also the financial department head for this merger"
every one said yay on this or and everyone was happy and I was also happy for and a little bit worried as she will have more burden on her shoulder. before I knew tayiba got up and hugged me and whispered to me
"you know you are lucky to become merger head"
"no T I have you to work under with me and also as financial department head ah so lucky I am "I teased
"wait and see you depend on me for money so careful about what you say "
and we giggled at teasing other .at that time Ryan and everyone shouted and make us end our hug session more like teasing and threat session
"We all are here and we are getting jealous "
that statement makes us laugh
"come hug me, girls, "dad said
"sure sir anything else," we said giggling
we gave hug to everyone except Mr zain as he did handshake with his blank face and congratulated us and Mr zayed he is from another world
"can I hug you handshake is boring to please, "Mr zayed said
"sure Mr zayed, "we said
"oh please don't add Mr to my name it makes me feel old "
he said in sweet voice making us giggle and hugged us
"congratulations ms aleena and ms tayiba"
"well you make us call you as zayed and u added ms in our name not fair call us as aleena and tayiba"
"sure now congratulations aleena and tayiba"
"thank you we are looking forward to working with you "
"me too ladies "
after that, we parted our ways as Mr arrogant wants to go somewhere and we went separated our ways and went toward the college .as we reached there I asked everyone to settle down and that we will be back as we were going toward backstage I saw the face I didn't want to see on such good occasion but can't do so her name is Yasmeen and she loves to show off her money and fathers status according to her, her father is royal army general and his brother manages the business of the royal in their absence and she came towards us
"Hey there "
"hi jasmine"
"ah why are not wearing some fancy clothes its graduation "
"well we love to ear simple clothes as it is graduation, not some fancy party "
I said and she got frustrated and left trust me she is pretty but I have an allergy to arrogant person because they somewhat hurt others feeling if she was not so showy about her family I am sure she might be me of my best friends anyhow we went backstage and get ready and wore our back robe and black graduation cap and lined up and as usual I and tayiba were at the end of the queue because we were toppers we both got first or second position . the ceremony started and after everyone got their graduation certificate and three persons were left which were Yasmeen,tayiba and me the mic announced
"Ladies and gentleman we know that you are waiting for this moment to find out who is first three position holder but before we announce them we need you all to welcome our chief guest and the crown prince of Mughal empire prince zain Abdulrahman and please everyone welcomes him with a round of applause"
I and tayiba look at each other and I asked her
"doesn't that name sounds familiar "
"yes "
"I know he will come for my graduation ceremony," Yasmeen said
"do you know him? and how?" tayiba asked
"he is the crown prince of the kingdom my father works for and he is my brothers best friend "
"oh okay," I said
we got curious and peek outside to see that so-called chief guest was no other than Mr zain dad's business partner .i was shocked to the core so was tayiba and at that Yasmeen was called on stage to receive the third position graduation certificate and trophy.
"T control yourself we need to go up the stage and we can't go up there in this situation compose yourself don't let him see your vulnerable side "
"you are right lens "
"ok deep breaths just smile ok "
after that tayiba was composed she was called on stage to receive the certificate and trophy let me tell you a secret we can read each other tayiba and me and I knew that she will break up in at least ten minutes and as tayiba received the trophy and certificate and pictures were taken I was called up the stage to receive the trophy I climbed the stairs and received the certificate from Mr zain
"congratulation aleena "
"thankyou sir"
"oh don't sir me I know you might be angry "
"as if you care and see I am smiling and thank you for officially ruining my big day "
"we will talk about it at home now be a good girl and handshake and smile for the picture"
we shook hand but while me having a tight grip on his hand to such extent to hurt him pretty badly after a couple of pics we went off the stage and tayiba and I had a conversation
"Lena, what did he talked to you?"
"the usual he asked told me that I might be angry and that need to handshake and smile for pictures "
"Lena I know you that's not all isn't it did you misbehaved with him?"
"a little bit only by thanking him for officially ruining my day "
"what why did you did that when you know he is the crown prince of Mughal's"
"whatever tell me what did he talked about with you?"
"with me, he said sorry and called me little one "
"little one? what the hell what else happened?"
"We had an argument but he silenced me bu saying that it was a nickname and we don't have to deny any nickname anyone who gives us "
"what the ---, anyhow let's get back to our family as they must be waiting"
"Sure let's go"
and we went towards our family to know about their plan for us and planning to keep our frustration away so it doesn't affect our family and put on a cute bright smile for our family
PS: what will happen when they talk or will she talk to zain or avoid him keep reading to know
