8. Something strange

PoV- Meerab Khan

"Haan, I know...Yess ....Hmm...."

I just declined Farah's call and got ready to pick her and Meerab up from Meerab's house. We usually, atleast once every week head towards the office together, and today was that day. I parked my car infront of Meerab's gate and blew the horn. They came downstairs and sat in the car, Farah at the passenger seat and Meerab in the back.

"Meerab, Can you adjust the rear mirror" Asked Meerab holding lipstick in her hand.

"What did you do in the morning? Is this the time for this thing?" I looked at her frustrated and received shocking reactions from both Farah and Meerab.

"What happened Khaani? You look so frustrated today?"

" I know. I'm literally not feeling good today. And even skipped my breakfast cause of it."

"Did you have a proper sleep yesterday?"

"Nope, I was feeling strange"

Farah and Meerab looked at each other and shrugged. Our trance was broken by a call from the office.

"Hello, this is Meerab Khan speaking,"

"Hello, Miss Khan, there's a problem, can you please come to the office soon." Said the former concerned.

I knew, i knew something was fishy and this was that strange feeling i was getting since Yesterday.

" What problem?" Inquired Meerab.

" It's about the statistics"

"Can you elaborate please." Said Farah impatiently.

"Our stocks ....Umm... They're falling down rapidly."

And that was enough for us to drop everything else from our minds and get panicked. I drove the car with all the courage I had and reached the office.

I could see there a team of reporters, board of directors, and the shareholders, surprisingly Amirah Shah too with an unusual smirk on her face.

"Miss, Meerab Khan, what do you have to say about leaking personal data of your customers? Was it planned? How can a company betray it's customers?"

That was another shock for the day. Our company is being targeted for leaking personal information? It's impossible. It is a lie, it should be a lie, no- no! I corrected myself, It must be lie. Meerab and Farah rushed inside and i made my way too.

"How did this happen?" Asked Farah to all the employees who stood in a line, heads down and not a single word did they speak. Farah asked again, controlling the urge to yell at them.

"How will we know anything? You should know it, afterall you are the CEO" said Farheen casually shrugging while Farah gritted her teeth.

"Anyways, get prepared for the meeting with board of directors" Said Farheen with a slight contentment in her voice.
While Farah looked at me with a message on her face- Something is fishy with Farheen. And i gave her a slight nod meaning to say, "Agreed". Meerab came rushing towards me and caught hold of my hand, dragging to the other side.

"Meerab...." She began heavily panting. "Amm- iii-rahh, she's demanding for her shares."

Dude, that's why I say believe my gut feeling but you guys didn't, it was all in vain.

"There's a hustle bustle in the hall, What's going on Meerab? What are we gonna do now?"

I don't know. How's that everyone thinks I've a solution to every problem, how could I know what should be done? I looked at Meerab who's looking at me with a hope in her eyes, while Farah was busy arguing with Farheen. Wait, Farheen! That was exactly when the idea popped up in my head. If we somehow manage to find the culprit, this can be sorted out. But before that We've to handle the media, board of directors and Amirah Shah. It isn't gonna be easy but not impossible either.
