_CHAPTER {8}_

Nala

It was a tough week at Nifaas with their shareholders leaving and their employees wanting to resign. Faris got himself caught up. He was worried about his employees who lived based on the money the company gave them. He thought of using his fame to save the company but also knew it would bring him no good since he took a break from that life.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Sorry to inform you about this late meeting," Renzo said standing by the stage of the company's auditorium, where most of the company's shareholders were seated.

"We have been together for years, but you have never met or have seen the president due to circumstances. I present to you King president of Nifaas Inc" He moved from the mic to where Naadir and Faaris were standing, Faaris walked to the mic.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I am king, as you all know I haven't been here in a very long time. Director Renzo has been taking care of everything. My point of this meeting is about a current issue we are facing, we haven't made a lot of sales this year, and our competition partners are already at the top of the hierarchy"

"I know many of you are thinking of leaving the company because of it, you have to give us time to catch up and-" One of the shareholders stood up and cut Faaris off, he put his hands in his pockets looking at the older man.

"We can't let that happen, and if you are failing doesn't mean we have to fail with you King"

Faaris removed his hand and adjusted his glasses, looking at the faces of the men, who seem to have the same idea. "I know that Sir, but what I'm asking is to give us two weeks"

He looked back at the rest of the shareholders then back at Faaris, "How sure are you that you can make up the lost that happened?"

"51% sure and 50% not sure, but making up for the lost, and being back on the track will only be decided if you agree to give us the time we asked"

"What if we still lose"

"I will step down as the CEO and it will be on me" Faaris said looking at the 50-year-old man, thinking about what he said, he turned and started talking to the other shareholders in hush tones. Renzo looked over at Naadir and Faaris wondering if they can hear what was going on with the shareholders but both seemed to be in their own world.

"Alright then King, we have come to an agreement. You have the time" The man concluded some minutes later, Faaris clasped his hands and nodded, "Okay, two weeks from today, thank you" he said and walked down the stage. He puts his hands in the pockets of his coat, he walked out of the auditorium.

He walked towards the main building of his company, thinking through the two weeks he has. A thought of a particular girl crossed his mind and he started looking around hoping he would see her, using the opportunity to check on his employees on the process.

He entered his office and removed his coat, he hung it on the wooden hanger that was standing on the right side of the big glass windows, seeing the drapes are closed he took the remote from his couch and unveiled it, glancing at the scenery he let out a relieved sigh and sat on his desk calling his secretary on the landline. After some minutes there was a knock on the door, "Come in" His voice deep and low. A tall lady dressed in a white shirt a black mini skirt, and black high heels making sounds as she walked entered. "I want you to call all the department heads for a meeting in an hour" He glanced at her then back at his MacBook, "Okay sir"

"And also where is Mr. Daher?"

She furrowed her brows remembering when she last saw him, "He came earlier when you were at the shareholders meeting, I believe he is at Mrs. Huda's currently" He shook his head at the thought that Rashid and food.
