Najib's POV:
"Mr Charles re-schedule all my meetings, I won't make it to the office today."
"But sir, we've rescheduled this meeting twice, the board of directors won't be happy to receive this news."
"Do everything in your power to cover up for me, you can say I'm ill or something."
"But sir...
"Mr Charles, I'm granting you the privilege to be the CEO for today, bye."
"Good boy!" Grandma's face lit with happiness once I cut the call.
"Grandma I hope you're pleased?"
"I'm more than pleased." She smiled.
"Your family should always come first...
"But Grandma, it's just a birthday party which is not even today!"
"Are you snapping at me?" She glares and just by her look I knew if she was close to me right now, I would have received a series of slaps.
"You're glad this is a video call or else you won't imagine the way I will knock some sense into that brain of yours, naughty boy." She scoffs.
"Grandma! It's a crucial time to maximize our production and profit and most importantly we're at the peak...
"Oh, God! When will you understand?" She cuts me shut.
"Why do you always prioritize the company, is it not doing fine? We have so many sources of income, there is the textile factory, the hotels, and the estate are also available, so why do you always worry about money?"
"How do I tell you that the company is at risk of fraud, I need to tackle this issue." I mumbled.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, How is your knee? I hope you're surgery was successful."
"I don't know, ask doctor Raj." She fumes.
"Grandma?"
"Don't grandma me, I'm pissed at you."
"Grandma, I'm sorry...
"Just listen to me Najib, skip the office after all, it's Friday a half day, stay at home and spend some quality time with Habiba."
"If that's gonna bring a smile to your face then I will not go to work."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Thanks, unfortunately, I'm not around to celebrate with her, it's her first birthday with us so you must see that she is happy."
"Okay, I will grant you your wish, so where is Amina?"
"She went to have lunch with your father."
"Alhaji Aminu, not my father Grandma."
"I wonder for how long you will continue to be at loggerheads with him."
"Grandma, we will talk soon, I want to shower."
"Okay, my regards to everyone, I will call later to greet the celebrant."
"Bye!"
"Phew! I can't believe I remained motionless for an hour." Zaitun scoffs.
"We should be glad she didn't discover us together."
"Well the wait will soon be over, once she returns we won't hide anymore, our relationship will be official, right?"
"Yep."
"Do you know what scares me?" She mutters.
"No."
