Everything was normal when Raheel stepped out of his room he wore a black shirt with sunflower yellow colored blazer and pants, his brown shoes matched with the outfit. As Ahmad watched his grandson in awe. He loved the dressing of his grandson but sometimes his grandson managed to surprise him too.
As Raheel greeted his grandpa and the maid started serving them the breakfast. After breakfast they both stepped out of the house as the driver rode the car to the Phoenix.
They have came earlier than the employees as Raheel wanted to see how they behave in their absence. Since he would be working with them so he should know what type of people he is working with.
One by one everyone started coming to the office and to Raheel's surprise they are decent people who came logged on their pcs, chatted with friends or colleagues with a cup of coffee and headed to work.
Ahmad called his secretary and told him that he wants to make an announcement. So request the employees to gather in the auditorium hall and closed the Phoenix gates until I'm done.
Few minutes later, everyone is sitted in the auditorium hall as Ahmad entered the room and walked to the stage as he replied to the greetings of his employees.
"A very good morning to my Phoenix family. I won't take much of your time, it's just I want you to know that I'll be retiring soon and soon there will be someone else who will look after the company. But since we have such a good relationship between us, I would personally like that you guys too bond with the one who will be leading you after me. And I want to see this happening while I m with you guys" said Ahmad.
As some eyes were filled with tears, some people were in shock, some in suspense. As everyone looked at Ahmad as he said, "As you can guess who will be leading you guys after me but let me confirm your guesses too. After me, my grandson Raheel will be holding the reins of Phoenix and I know he will take care of you all better than I did."
Raheel opened the door as his eyes filled with tears when he walked inside. People gasped seeing him in flesh for the first time. And now they could realize about those scandalous rumours about Mick being his date or Vedant dancing with him with a smile.
Raheel stand next to his grandpa as he greeted everyone and said, "I believe you guys would have seen me in news or newspaper before seeing me in flesh right in front of you. I don't know what you have heard about me from those gossips but I would like you to open your mind, eyes, ears and heart and see me how I'm before believing those gossips."
He gave a small smile as he looked at his grandpa and said, "I'm soo happy that finally you will be having your me time but at the same moment I'm sad because you will have to wait for me to come back home in evenings."
Ahmad hugged his grandson as he replied, "I can always barge in your work because no work is important than me isn't it?" Raheel nodded his head as he looked in front and said, "You guys be witness to this whenever you find me spending time with my grandpa in working hours."
An echo of laughter can be heard in the hall as everyone had a smile on their faces. Raheel then looked in front of them and said, "You are not only my grandpa's family we all are Phoenix and everyone in Phoenix is a family. So you guys are my family too."
Ahmad looked at the people as he said, "Remember how last year, we earned huge profit and become more successful. The credit goes to Raheel. And every project we did last year was guided by him. So if anyone of you had a doubt on whether how will you work with him? Or what his work habits are? Then let me clear that you worked with him last year. That voice which sounded like AI, who not only guided you, but helped you and let you climb the ladder of success was none other than my grandson Raheel's voice."
Everyone was shocked to hear the truth while Raheel was embrassed. As everyone stood up from their seat one by one and one of them said, "Since, it's our first time officially working with you Mr. Raheel. So let us welcome you."
As everyone said in unison, "Welcome Mr. Raheel to be our saviour and our ideal boss." Raheel had his cheeks turned red in embrassment as he thanked.
Ahmad once again hold the microphone and said, "So for our new project to be the grandest one let's all work together."
As everyone including Raheel said, "Fly higher Phoenix, Burn the enemies to the ashes." As crowd started leaving the auditorium hall and back to their seats as everyone were happy to hear about Raheel. Some even talked how Raheel helped them through his voice last year and now they are satisfied that if Sir Ahmad retired from Phoenix, then Raheel is perfect to handle the Phoenix.
The gates which were closed were now opened as Prithvi came wearing a sky blue colored suit and pants underneath he wore a white shirt.
As he walked inside the lobby he could see the change in Phoenix's atmosphere. Every staff seemed happy as if something good happened. And they are working with their all. As Prithvi walked towards the reception and asked receptionist about his appointment.
She gave him a gentle skin as she dialed a number and said, "Mr. Prithvi is here, should we send him in?"
Prithvi was then guided to the lift which took him to the twentieth floor where Ahmad's cabin is situated. As Ahmad's secretary let Prithvi sat in the waiting room and gave him a mug of coffee as he was kept waiting.
While waiting Prithvi remembered how Raheel waited for him last time during Navratri. His thoughts were interrupted as the secretary once again came and said, "Mr. Ahmad is ready to see you."
Prithvi thanked her as she left and Prithvi headed straight to the room.
