I need your help?

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I haven't been able to get the shareholders that i want so its not easy taking away their shares just like that....or maybe there is a plan to solve this whole shareholders issue." I say. "What's your plan?" asks mom. "Don't worry i will tell you once the situation has been solved." She nods. "As long as you have a solid and legal plan than I guess we can be hopeful." "It is legal don't worry." We chuckle.

"Enough serious stuff lets lighten up the atmosphere." says Siphelele. "Your ways of lightening up are not always good." says dad. "This time is different." "Okay what do you wanna say." "Your attorney has a big ass like a really big one. I've never seen such humongous things how does she fit it in them jeans."

"Stop checking her out Siphelele and stop being a pervert." says mom and we chuckle. "You were also checking dad out before you had us." says Siphelele and mom rolls her eyes. We chuckle. "But like if she wasn't our enemy and all that kak I would have taken my chance on her cause damn her parents took their own sweet time when they made her." "Continue wishing." says Sbongakonke.

"Wishes do come true in the end. All I need is one night and then I'm fine." says Siphelele. "Nope that is never happening and we shouldn't talk about her." says Sbongakonke. "Okay fine then. Let's talk about Sthembiso's temporary relationship." "It's not temporary." I say in a defensive tone. "And its not forever either." says SimphiweyiNkosi.

"Let's be honest you do not love that girl you probably love her punani." says Sbongakonke. "It's time you face reality." says Siphelele. "Firstly don't disrespect her like that and secondly i agree with them. She is not good enough for you and there is something off about her." says mom. "And when mom says that we all know it's true." says SimphiweyiNkosi.

"Can we stop talking about her cause clearly you have nothing good to say besides the nonsense you are spewing right now." I say. They welcomed her nicely when I brought her for the first time and now they are going to turn their backs on her when she isn't here. They should rather keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves if they have nothing nice to say. "Okay askies." says Siphelele. (sorry.)

After eating we clear the plates and put them in the sink and start washing the dishes. Our mom didn't raise us to be lazy boys. We always have to clean up after ourselves and just because we have maids doesn't mean you must leave a mess everywhere. I must say she raised decent men.

We go sit in the living room and my dad gives me my belongings (phone, watch etc). I switch on my phone and i see a dozen missed calls from my friend, Bonginkosi and Siyanda. I check my messages and they say there is an emergency meeting tomorrow at the office. I'm sure they plotting on how to kick me out now that I've been arrested.

This shareholders situation got me fucked up and i don't know what to do. I need to find someone that is going to help me convince the potential shareholders to join because I know a way to give these current shareholders a taste of their own medicine. "Baba give me Amu's number." I say. "Why?" he asks. "She is my lawyer." "I'll send it to you."

I tried getting help from my brothers to help pull the potential shareholders I want in but they didn't budge. At this point I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe i should buy their shares back. It's not like my company is struggling or anything. But then these shares are going to cost me big time and the dividends could go to expanding and making the business better and more successful.

I need to go home and think this through. "Please drop me off." I ask. "Your car is in the garage. Ask the maids where the keys are." says mom. "Okay thanks. I'll see you when i see you." I stand up and go look for the maid and she hands me my keys and i thank her and leave.

I get inside my car and drive off to my penthouse. I really missed being outside and now I know not to take freedom for granted. I shuffle my playlist and the song Her heart by Anthony Hamilton starts playing. I start singing along just to calm my nerves down.

I get inside my penthouse and it looks dirty. I take off my suit and clean the whole place while listening to music. After cleaning up I go upstairs and change into joggers and a black vest and go to my gym. I connect my phone to the speaker and shuffle my playlist and start working out to relieve the stress. After two hours of working out I go upstairs and bathe and once I'm done i call it an early night.

I wake up and do my morning routine and wear black chino pants with a black polo neck and my black sneakers. I wasn't going to look fancy cause I'm not in the mood to go to work. I go downstairs and make myself breakfast and when I'm done i watch some episodes I missed yesterday.

After watching tv I go to the place i dread the most..work. We all have to work to survive. I sometimes wonder why I didn't choose to become the spoiled brat and spend my parents money its not like we broke. I get to work and i enter using the back entrance. I go to the boardroom and i find everybody waiting for me. My PA gives me a bottle of water and i thank her.

"I don't know why we here but please get straight to the point." I say. "We heard about your arrest Sthembiso and I'm afraid that your arrest might affect our company and we might start losing profits." says Mr. Ngwenya. "I agree with Ngwenya on this one. What if clients no longer want to work with us because of this arrest." says Mr. Sithole. "How does my personal life affect this company?" I ask.

"People are going to start thinking that this company is a front to clean our dirty money and that's not true. I'm not sure if the allegations against you are true but then what if you are found guilty." says Mr. Sithole. "We are not cleaning any dirty money through this company and i will not be found guilty because i did not commit these crimes." I say. I was slowly losing my patience but I have to remain calm.

"I feel like we should vote to take you out." says Mr. Govendor. "I have more shares than all of you here so what makes you think you can take me down that easily. Don't start a battle that you won't be able to stand for." I say. "All those who favour removing Mr. Khoza please raise your hands."

Three people lifted their hands up. There is seven of us here so the votes are equal. Even if they outvoted me I wasn't going to be removed like that. "It's a 50/50 situation. Accept it I am not going anywhere and you can't just remove me by voting because my shares count the most. If you want to start a battle it's fine let's do it but I want you to know that you will not win." I say.

"Sthembiso.." says Mr. Sithole. "It's Mr. Khoza to you." I say. "Sorry. Mr. Khoza we have to think about the reputation of the company. I think we need to appoint somebody that will take over until the case is over and if you are not found guilty you can come back but if you are we will buy your shares." "Over my dead body. This is my company. It is my future kids inheritance thats if i have one, one day. Nobody is going to kick me out and expect me not to fight back."

"Since the votes are equal we will hold another meeting to make a final desicion." says Mr. Ndaba. "Fine then. We will see each other then. When is the next meeting?" I ask. "Next week Friday. Same time." answers Mr. Sithole. "Fine we shall see each other then and make sure you are ready." They stand up and leave.

"Fucking hell." I mumble. "Do you need anything sir?" asks Nikiwe. "No. It's okay. Just cancel my meetings until further notice." I answer. "Sure." "I will tell you when I'm ready to work. If a client asks if the allegations are true tell them no." "Yes sir."

I only have one option. I never thought i would ask for their help but I'm really left with no choice and i know if they get this part done the rest will be easy for me and then these people will be out. I look for her number and call her.

"Amukelani Mngomezulu speaking hello." she greets. "I need your help." I say.
