11. His morning already turned bad
My Dad’s office is on 13th floor.
So as soon as the elevator’s door opened for the first time at 12th floor, I exited the elevator.
I don’t want to see her face again, I was very angry because of her accusations.
So I decided to not stay in lift anymore, it will be better to take stairs for next floor.
I walked out of the lift immediately without throwing another glance on her with rage filled eyes
I used the staircase to reach 13th floor, to see my Dad.
I called him while climbing up the stairs.“Morning Dad” I greeted him.
“Morning Sid, where are you?
You should be here by 8:50?
Have seen the time now?
Its 9:25 now.
You are coming or not?”
And he again started his series of questions as always.
My God! My Dad and his questions.
Forgodsake give me a break man.
“Dad..Dad ..DAAADDD, Stop please.” I said to get his attention and continued as I got some.
“I reached your office building by 8:40, but I got stuck in elevator. I just now exited that elevator.” I explained.
“Oh is that so. Well are you for real?” he asked me doubting on my words.
“Dad, don’t you believe me? Then you can ask your building employees.”
I said narrowing my eyes on his words.
“Ok fine, I believe you” he stated.
“Come fast I am waiting for you.” He ordered me.
“Ok I almost reached” I assured him.
After ending the call, I was about to enter the big glass door to reception area but I was stopped by the guard.
“Good morning Sir, whom you want to meet. This is CEO and HOD’s floor. Do you have any appointment?” he asked me in one go.
(CEO - Chief Executive Officer/Owner
HOD - Head of Departments)
'How dare this guard stop me?'
He don’t know me, maybe that is why he dares to stop me.
“I am here to meet Mr. Raghav Malhotra” I tried to control my raging mind and informed him .
“Ok Sir, Please come” he said smilingly and opened the door for me.
This is the first time I am visiting my Dad’s company, so I don’t know where my Dad’s office is.
I need to ask the receptionist.
I went to big reception desk where a lady was sitting behind that big desk.
As I approached her, she got up from her chair and asked me politely, “Good morning Sir, How may I help you?”
My morning has already turned bad.
And everyone is still greeting me Good Morning.
‘Argh’
I am too much annoyed now.
“I want to see Mr. Raghav Malhotra.” I frowned a little before telling her.
“Do you have any appointments with him?” She asked.
Why I would need to take appointment to meet my own Dad?
“What? No, no appointments” I replied irritated
“I am Sorry to say Sir, but you cannot meet him” she informed me.
Enough now,
Anger again strikes me.
“But I don’t need one. Forget about appointment just tell me the directions to his office”. I said nearly shouting
One can sense anger in my tone.
“Sorry Sir but no one is allowed to meet Mr. CEO without a prior appointment.” She said still smiling.
‘Arghhh’
Why is she smiling???
I want to rip that smile off her face now.
“I already told you that I don’t need one as I am his…” I was cut off in middle by none other than my Dad.
“Siddharth, Come…come inside” He said loudly from the end of the hallway.
I looked back at her direction and she gave me a smile nervously.
I ushered towards my Dad’s office, it was a huge room.
It was well furnished and decorated.
Everything was neatly placed in his office as per his liking
.“Wow Dad, nice office” I remarked.
Suddenly I recalled something.
“Dad why didn’t you let them know that you were expecting me?” I asked my Dad frowning.
“Sorry I forgot to inform Radhika about you.” He said checking his drawer.
“Radhika, who is Radhika?” I asked him
“She is my Secretary, you were just talking to her outside.” He informed me and gestured me to sit down on the chair across him among big table.
“Oh..” I said making my lips forming an ‘O’ shape.
“Now listen to me carefully. I want to make myself very clear again.”
He said directly looking into my eyes.
I nodded gesturing him to continue.
“As per our discussion earlier you have to stay in India with me and take over my business responsibilities as you are my only legal heir.
And you will look after this whole business empire whole-heartedly like I doing till now.
And then only you will be eligible to get all benefits from me.”
“Ok, anything else.” I asked him
“Keep listening, I am not done yet.” He stated
“You will stay away from music…” this time I cut him off
“Daaaddd” I growled and he gestured me to keep quiet and he continued.
“Let me finish first Son and as I was saying that you will stay away from music or else I will disown you completely and snatch away all benefits that you are getting from me.”
“This is just not fair Dad, you didn’t tell me earlier that I have to give up on my music for this.”
