In The Midst Of Serendipity

|Chapter 14|Unpleasant Situations

I'm sure they were also not expecting that. They maybe had thought that this would be a little too late. But dado had other plans obviously. One of the board members stated

"I do agree with you, Mrs. Mir. But don't you think it's a little too early."

Dado smiled. Her smile was saying that she was expecting some kind of question like that. She sighed and answered him maintaining her calm

"I knew you would all ask such a question."

The board member immediately justified himself

"I didn't say that I have any problem. I was saying it hypothetically."

Dado chuckled again and said

"As you all had seen that today's world is all about modern technology and youth. I want our company to have a young CEO. Today's young generations has more ideas and potential than us now. I am sure they will take our company to new levels."

She became quiet again. I looked at baba and he gave me a assuring look. The board members soon got busy in light conversation. They were probably thinking about the pro and cons of me being the CEO. After maybe 10 minutes, one of the board members stated

"We all discussed and now we have reached a point."

Dado nodded her head and motioned them to go ahead. He took a deep breath and said

"We all has always seen you taking good decisions for the company. No doubt, your decisions has always being beneficial for our company."

I smiled proudly. Dado did alot of hard work in gaining this position. Finally the board members announced their decision

"We will support your decision of having Zain as our CEO."

Dado smiled and said

"I expected something like that from you all. Thank you for your support."

They all nodded and soon the meeting room was empty. It was only me and dado now. I walked towards dado and sat down on the table facing her. I then asked her

"Are you going back home?"

She looked at me and nodded her head. So, I stood up and stated

"Come. I'll drop you home."

But she shook her head and also stood up. She then said

"I have another work. I will go back after I complete my work."

I nodded my but still I didn't want to leave her alone. Her health is not that stable right now and I don't want to take any risks. She probably noticed my frowned expressions because the other thing she did was to hold my hands and said

"I know what you're thinking, Zain. But I am ok. You don't have to worry about that."

I didn't say anything. I worry about her. I know her nature. She kept things to herself. She doesn't want to worry anyone so she suffer alone. I grabbed her hand in an assuring grip and cleared myself

"You know na that I am always here for you. You can share anything with me."

Dado smiled and kissed my forehead before pulling away. She sighed and patted my hands before muttering

"When I have such grandchildren than I don't need to worry about anything."

I laughed. I then checked the time and it was almost 2 in the noon. I turned it her and told her pointedly

"Dado, it's almost afternoon. You have to eat your lunch and then you have to take your medicine, ok?"

She nodded her head and stated
