From Zowie To Zuwaira

chapter eighteen

Rayan

How can Baba do this to me, first he is travelling tomorrow and now he is making me to compete with two other people for the post of CEO. How can he do that to me,am his son for god sake am I not supposed to be the CEO automatically.
What's this mana

I am desperately in need of an Architect, I need to make the best plan if not Abdulhakeem will get it,he took all the goods architects I know and my Secretary isn't helping matters. Am frustrated where will I get an Architect in less than 42 hours

"Assalamu Alaikum" I greeted entering his office and he muttered a reply

"Baba,this is not fair" I blurted making him take off his glasses and looked at me

"What" he asked folding his arms with a smile

Is he mocking me

"Baba why do I have to compete for this,this is supposed to be mine automatically fa,that how it is" I said with a frown

"Well to me that is not how it is,I won't leave my company to an irresponsible person" he glared and a gasp
"Baba I am a very responsible person" I said  and he nodded

"I agree, you are very responsible but I want the best for the company hence the competition" he said

"Who will you rather trust,your son or some stranger" I asked

"Off course my son,but a stranger could be able to do what my son can't,we both know Abdulhakeem and Furqan are also like sons to me and as well your cousins." He said
What?,yes they are my cousin's

"Baba I can take Furqan but Abdulhakeem,he is so cunning and competitive, when he heard about this, he called all the best Architects I know." I told him

"That shows he is smart,you better outsmart him if you want the post" Baba said casually

Are you kidding me
"Baba where do you expect me to get an Architect from in 42 hours" I asked

"You should figure that out your self" he said gesturing to the door

"I have things to do" he muttered
Is he sending me away
This man

"Ma'asalam" i said hurt and left

****
Knock knock...
I heard and I knew it was my secretary so I let him in

"Sir I have found one" he said nervously

"And... " I asked looking at him and he was silent

"One,you found one, fine let's see how good he is" I said and he brought the files

"What's this" I asked disgusted

"Take it away,I want a good Architect not some secondary school technical drawing student" I snapped at him making him flinch packing the papers
"Sorry sir I...."
"Get out" I said calmly and he nodded and left while Walid entered meeting me pacing around

"Cool down guy" he said sitting on my desk

"I can't cool down,I have always dreamt if this and now Baba is making me compete for it" I snarled making him shrug

"Abdulhakeem has already began" he said and I glared at him

"I know that,he took all my Architects for god sake" I said

"Look just calm down and rest,you will figure things out" he said to me and I nodded picking my car keys
"Where are you going to" he asked
"To Mama" I said heading for the door

"I am coming along"he said following me and we where gone
