BEWITCHED

Chapter 27th

DAKSH'S POV

"Did you planned it beforehand?"

"Who knows."

Sometimes I wonder why my grandfather is this sly. This old man literally told everyone about meeting expect me.
Our company had a total of 11 directors  which included maa and Athrav.

The directors were mostly either  grandfather's or papa's friends. There was no issue until any board director will be against this decision.
And most of the possibility was Mr. Ahuja. As being the blood of Ahuja, he definitely will.

"I hate this..."

My eyes moved to define the voice that pulled me out of my thoughts.
It was a very tired Athrav. He must've  been doing overtime, his messy hair and baggy eyes scremed that he was tired.

"Shouldn't you be happy, your brother gonna be the Chairman. "

"Does this benefits me anyhow?"

I moved fully to face him. As usual his straight face looked nothing but serious.
But before I could say anything the meeting started. The door closed and a thick silence layered.

Grandfather took the lead and stand tall before the mic.
Not wasting time he went straight to the topic.

"Thank-you all for being presented here in such a short notice.
I will not beat around the bush, I'm resigning as the chairman and next chairman will be Daksh, my grandson.

If anyone got any objection please- "

"How can you be confident that he is responsible for the position? "

As expected Mr. Ahuja was the first one to object. All the people were focusing towards him, waiting him to support his statement.

"He wasn't even able to get a god damn deal just a few minutes ago."

I knew he will bring that up. But I did had my backup plan ready.
I've had the file of all the shitty thing the company had did. But I waited, waited for anyone to say anything.

The silence lasted longer than I had expected.
Now all the attention shifted to me, all faces looking at me.

I eyed Yash and with a nod he handed me the file he had been holding.
I've prepared the files of their doing, just in case if they don't agree with us. It didn't helped in the meeting but it will work here.

I handed the file to Athrav as he was sitting beside me. Having no interest in it, he slided the files to grandfather who  checked it and handed to the next.
As the file was rounding around the table the murmuring sound was getting louder. Finally the file reached to Mr. Ahuja who looked devastated by the amount of information the file consisted.

"Your eyes gonna fall Mr. Ahuja."

At my comment a snicker left Athrav's mouth and he didn't even tried to hide it. But he soon stopped, maa must've hit him from the look of it.
His face snapped towards me in light of speed, then at Athrav then again at me. His glare told enough that he was controlling himself from screaming at me. His ego must've hurt at this point.

"You should check the company before proposing any deal.
Don't let this happen again."

He was so ashamed that he didn't even replied to grandfather, he just nodded and slided the file again towards us.

"So it's final that Daksh will be  chairman? "

Athrav questions  not particularly to anyone whistle checking his watch.
When no one spoke grandfather stood and announced once again.
