A LITTLE LONG✔️ ( EDITING)

38: BOARD MEETING

CLIFF

"I want the position of the CEO", Jabal declared as he looked intently at me.
What?
I was caught by surprise. Staring at him, all he did was smirk.

Jabal was actually back because he eyed my position. No wonder he came back out of the blue. But why?

We were in a board meeting discussing about some things before Jabal made his selfish desire known. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, all eyes were fixed on him with surprise.

"What do you mean?", Mom questioned as she glared at him.
Mom and Dad had just gotten back from England, they had their anniversary last week and they spent a whole week over there.

"You heard me clearly, I want the position of the CEO and I want Cliff to vacate the position for me", he glared at me while I looked at him stuck for words.

"Jabal you have only 2.5 shares and Cliff has 15", the director of Finance implored but Jabal didn't flinch but rather glared daggers at me.

Why did he get interested in the company suddenly?

"Which reminds me my dad transfered 10 percent of his shares to Cliff, my dad owns this company and I see no reason for you guys not wanting me", he said belligerently.

"Point of correction, this company is as a result of merger, your dad and I own this company", my dad corrected talking for the first time since the issue was brought up.

Jabal finally looked away from me and turned to dad.
"Then why is it only your side that's running the company", he challenged.

"Your dad was the President before he died and he clearly stated that he doesn't want you running the company which explains why he gave Cliff 10 percent of his shares", Dad explained as Jabal seethed with anger.

"If you desire a position maybe you should be given the director of account at least that position is good", Mr Jackson proposed, he was one of the shareholders with 4.5 shares.

"I support that", mom said but Jabal gave her a menancing look.

Jabal's mom raised her hand, finally she would talk since the meeting started, "I move...voting".

A crook smile appeared on Jabal's face, apparently they'd planned all this before coming to the meeting.
"I second the motion", he beamed.

"That will be discussed in the next meeting", dad concluded.

"In case you care to know, I've been responsible for the calls you got lately", Jabal confessed as I looked at him in perplexity.

When did Jabal become this?
He had always been this sweet and crazy guy, what came over him?

"And I mean every word I said, I'm after you", he gave me a menancing look that I ignored.

"Why?"

He laughed out loudly for some minutes that made me wonder if he had gone crazy but he stopped and responded.

"Isn't it obvious? I hate the fact that my dad transfered his shares to you without giving me, his biological child anything, I want what is mine and that's the company, you guys should just fuck off and leave it to me", he roared.

Is he insane?

"And yeah, the revenge started earlier but you guys were clueless, the day you were to get married to Zuleha was the day we got married in Paris".

WHAT!
It can't be true.
Zuleha knew about this all along.
She'd cheated on me with my close friend.
They were married.

The elevator door snapped me out of my thoughts as Jabal walked out only to be welcomed by Zuleha who wore a huge grin. Noticing my presence, they hugged and kissed before smirking at me and then walked out of the company.
