After 5 years.....
I woke up from my deep sleep by hearing the vibrating sound of my phone. I took the mobile from the night stand by stretching the hand towards it. I look up the time and said " Damn it... I'm going to be late again" I open my screen lock to see the messages and one of the message was from my online bestie Staize.
She's been my online bestie for 12 years . I still don't know her identity and I don't want to know her either. If we both met each other in real life it will be very awkward. I look at the message and it says " Good morning buddy " and I replied back by saying " Good morning ,Dear ''.
I kept the mobile on the night stand after the use and went towards wardrobe. To collect my office suit and kept it on bed neatly. Before going to washroom my eyes landed on a photo frame. It was Jenny's photo. when I was looking at the photo a drop of tear fall through my cheek but I immediately wiped it by hearing a knock on the door.
I said " Get in. "
When the door opened ,It revealed one of my maid. She came inside with a tray of breakfast and kept it on the table.
She pour a glass of water and kept near the tray .
After that she immediately went outside of the room by bowing. I went to the washroom and done my usual routine. Then had breakfast and went to the office.
Its been 2 years I had inherited Dad's company.....
After inheriting M.S group there was something or someone who always hold me back from success. At first I thought it was Christy and his mother behind each and every incident but at some thought it made me think twice that there was a third party behind each of them. Because Christy and his mother doesn't have that much brain to plan all the puzzle of games by themselves.
Now its been few months some of my clients are terminating the contract and I can see anxious on Christy's face. Even though we both fight with each other but whenever a problem arise he will be the first one to lend me a hand. He was trying his best to keep the clients in check at each and every circumstances. Dad has appointed him as the managing director to assist me, simply saying my right hand basically.
At time to time we had small fights as it was not something new but in professional field he doesn't involved both of our personal issues. Because of that I had a respect towards him.
After reaching the company my secretary open the door of the car some of my bodyguards were standing in line to greet welcome. When I step out of the car every one bowed in front of me as if i am their god or something. At the time Christy also reach the company in his car. One of the bodyguard went towards his car and welcomed him. He came and stand next to me. Both of us were guided by the bodyguards towards our cabin. Both of our secretary's were following us in our back by running a marathon behind us.
As I reached the cabin my secretary stella open the door and I went inside.
My secretary Stella is one of my junior in college days and she is also my best friend personally. We both met each other due to an incident. At that time, she helped me from it. After her graduation she followed me and became my assistant. She and Staize was the ones I'm grateful in my life. They were supporting me in my ups and downs. I still miss my loved ones Joseph and Jenny time to time. Because they were also a big part of my life which cannot be separated.
After few minutes, someone knock on the door as I said "Get in ".
It was Stella with an iPad on her hand. She said " Good morning Sir, today's schedule...." She started to read the schedule and there was three important meetings for today which cannot be avoided. it decides the future of the company.
I said to Stella " Inform Christopher's secretary that today there is an important meeting in afternoon with BANCE so he need to be there before the meeting starts... "
She said " Yeah, I had informed his secretary yesterday about the meeting. So there will be no problem... "
I said " Okay, You may leave and prepare for the meeting presentation ". She bowed and went from there.
I swirled in the chair and started to do my work. After graduation there was not a single day I had rest. I was fully concentrated on the inheritance now I'm totally focused on business matters . I'm fully in a tight schedule.... I miss my college days....argh...
When I was busy in doing my work Stella dashed out the door in a bang sound which startled me. I kept my hand on the chest. She was panting heavily and was struggling to say something.
I said " Stella, What was that for and why are you panting so heavily ??."
She said " Si-r.... Sir , I go...t a..... "
I gestured her to come near me and poured a glass of water and extend towards her. She took the glass from my hand and gulp it in one go.
Then I said " Now repeat what were you saying slowly so that I can understand..." I can sense nervousness as she was squeezing her hands.
I said " You're testing my patience....just vomit it....."
She said " I got a call from WHITE-LIFT company secretary..... "
WHITE-LIFT is an foreign company who is a major investor in M.S group. The WHITE-LIFT is one of the extremely wide company. Even though they mainly focused on IT profession but they are also interested in other fields to enlarge their business to other level. So the company's who had deal with them are lucky.
I said " What happened and what did they say...Stella... "
She said " Sir I'm sorry to say but....."
When Stella was speaking I can sense something is not right and her nervousness making me more anxious.
I said "Its okay Stella I can handle myself whatever it is..... Just spill it "
She said with heavy breath " Sir , they said they are going to terminate their contract with us...."
I said with heavy heart " Did they tell you the reason behind the termination.... "
She said " No Sir.... "
I said " Call Christopher now , tell him its urgent... "
After that she immediately went outside by bowing to me. When she went outside I drop myself on the chair with blank expression. I was expecting them to renew their contract with our company because they were one of our major investor we can't loss them at any cost .But here they are terminating their contract with us.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I immediately adjust myself with a cold expression.
I said " Get in.. "
The door wide open revealing Christy and my secretary Stella. He came towards and seated in front of me. I gestured Stella to go outside and come later with Coffee.
He said " What's the matter Ryan, why are you looking so tensed. Did anything happened or is it something bothering you... Is it Jenny ? "
I said still in cold expression " Its not Jenny... Its about one of our investor they are trying to terminate the contract with us."
He said " Is it WHITE-LIFT ? "
I said with shock on my face " How do you know ? Are you behind it ?? "
He said " Even though I fight with you for small things that doesn't meant I will put the company in danger ."
I said " Then how do you know ? "
He said " I don't know the exact details... but I heard some rumors about a company RYUGA.... "
I said " What rumor and I had never heard a company named RYUGA..."
He said with serious tone " Its because you're only focused on our business partners. you should also see the world that is revolving around you..... "
I said by raising my voice " Are you insulting me ? "
He said " I'm giving you some advice as your brother ."
I said " Brother , my foot ."
He said " I'm not in the mood to argue Bro "
I said " You are the one who started it and why are you blaming me ? Now brief about that RYUGA company...
He said " you will never change....you and your ego."
He took out his phone and dialed a number instantly a knock was heard on the door.
I said " Get in.."
It was Christy's secretary Tussah. She came inside and started to arrange for the presentation. At that time again a knock was heard it was my secretary with two cup of coffee. She served the coffee as I gestured her to sit on the chair beside me.
As Christy started to brief about the company....

He said "There is one important factor among all these that nobody has seen the real boss of the company. He / She is hidden under the veil without show their true face. Some of them are saying the boss is a woman and some other are saying it is a man.... But the CEO is very strict and perfectionist. Everyone of the company including the shareholders are terrified with the voice of their secretary itself. They are extremely conscious whatever deal they are proceeding. Every projects are double checked and verified by professionals.
They are tight secured whoever enter inside without verification are strictly prohibited. So nobody can steal or fraud the company so easily. The employees working in the company are highly educated and specially trained. There is no differentiation between the employees. They are equally respected. If anyone among the employee betray or stab behind their back of the company , they are kicked out from the whole industry without any mercy.
So we should be extremely careful by dealing with this company and one more thing JJ group are also investors of the company. "
I said " So you are saying before starting the game between us its already ended. "
He said " I just said to be extremely cautious by dealing with this company. We should take each and every step carefully and well planned....."
I said " Do you have any idea how to deal with them ? "
He said " You are the boss, so deal with yourself . If you need any help just ask...."
Now I don't have nothing to loss at this point. Whatever happens I should revive the company back to its original.
As I know I don't have any enmity with any person in the business' world. I don't know this why hidden boss is always targeting me without any valuable reason....argh...why it always happens to me.....
I said with anger tone " Can you sent the details about that company to my email."
He said " Yeah, sure....and next time ask me nicely nothing will happen if you keep your ego out of this. If there is not anything I shall leave."
I said " Yeah....why not...just get out... "
He said " If there is anything you need just call me....and anger is not good for your health Bro"
He leaved from there with his secretary Tussah. Now I know why Dad appoint him as Managing Director. yeah...sometime he is very annoying but at critical time he is very helpful to build up my carrier step by step.
At home my mind was fully concentrated with the matter that how to tackle this damn company... I mean RYUGA &Co .Suddenly my thought was interrupted by the beep sound of the mobile. I took and look at the message. It was Staize.
she asked "How was your day?"
I replied" I'm not in the mood to say anything just encourage me in whatever I am going to do..."
She replied " Why and what happened ?"
I replied " My company have been entangled with a company... They are making us difficult to survive by stealing our old clients and investors and now one of our major investor have terminated their contract with us. "
She replied " Don't worry everything will be alright...Don't stress yourself too much. It may affect your health. "
I replied " Umm.... "
She replied " To be the best , you must be able to handle the worst so try your level best you can do it.. Trust yourself...."
I replied " Thankyou so much.. and Sorry I'm little bit busy because of company matters, so I got to go..."
She replied " Its okay , Good night..."
I replied " Good night.."
After the chatting I went to my bedroom, had a bath and ate dinner and started doing my work. I opened my laptop and went to check email send by Christy. I downloaded the folder and open it. There was the complete details about the company RYUGA &Co.
It says their basic introduction, the persons that are involved in their business, their clients, list of shareholders, the projects they are deal with and completed and very importantly the details about the company secretary.
When I carefully looked through the folder I noticed something which caught on my eye. All my companies old clients who had terminated their contract with us are in currently contracted with RYUGA & Co. And now this foreign company who had terminated their contract are proceeding to be in contract with them. Even JJ group invested in their company which aroused my suspicious.
Because even though I know the JJ group chairman personally . I can't mix my personal things with profession.
I called Stella and said sorry for disturbing her at late night.
I said " Get an appointment with RYUGA &Co 's secretary Shone Sebastian. "
She said " Yes Sir ,tomorrow morning itself I will get an appointment from him."
I said " Thankyou.... and good night..."
She said " Good night Ryan.... "
I ended the call and look through the details about their secretary. The secretary name is Shone Sebastian. Each and every business' matters are handled through him. By totally saying he controls the whole security system of the company and deliver message or relay business matters to real boss. Only he knows who is the real boss. He had majored business administration in Stephen university.
After winding up my work I went to bed. Next morning I was walking back and forth waiting for Stella as I came to company early than usual. Few minutes later someone knock on the door.
I said " Get in.." Stella came inside and bowed.
She said " Sir , the appointment is not proceeded. He is tightly scheduled...I requested them sincerely but there is no use... they tell us to wait..."
I said by raising my voice and smashing the things that present over the table to reduce my anger
" GET OUT.. "
After pouring out all my anger I calmed down a bit and think for sometime because whenever the decision I took in anger always backfire .when I was thinking a evil idea popped on my head.
Next day, before the day starts I went to shone 's. house. As I started to follow him wherever he goes... In bar, company entrance, golf club, even restroom. I was completely bugging him. I know its irritating him and that was I want...When I was following Shone I reached a pub. At the entrance there where two bodyguards checking the identity, age and dress code of each and every person.
By that time he escaped from my grip for few minutes... After a long search I saw someone familiar wearing a crop top and skirt with waist chain, which was quite revealing. I took a close look it was my secretary Stella flirting with unknown persons and having drinks with them. Among them one person was Shone.
I call her through phone and asked " Where are you ? "
She said " Who the hell are you...Mister... ? "
I said " Just turn back. "
As she turn back there is an shock expression on her face. She came towards me and bowed.
I asked " Do you know him Stella ,the person who is sitting over the chair near the counter who is staring at us ? "
She said " Yeah, from college days... you also know him... "
I said " What.... I don't remember him...who is he...?"
But before answering my question she blacked out and fell over me. I went to the car and placed her on the passenger seat and drive to her apartment. The whole ride was complete silent. After dropping her out I went towards my penthouse and opened the door. By throwing the coat and loosening my tie I went to sofa and I crashed over them leaving my heaviness... due to tiredness.. and I was thinking about the conversation between Stella in the pub. And said to myself" Who the hell is he.....Why don't I remember him.....argh....."
