THE NANNY AFFAIR

After a while Riya walks in and left without saying a word to me, it shouldn’t be a bother but I couldn’t help but think! What’s our problem?”, The same time, I took notice of some men dressed in black suits, they stood and watched as I walked closer.

“Good morning, gentleman, how may I be of help to you?”. I asked fiddling for her response.

I sensed the tension in the air as one of the men present there, let out to me, “good morning, Mr. Andres Khan, I know that you don’t know us but we are one of the company lawyers!” He said and pulls his hands to shake me.

I ran a curious look on, retorting back with another question, “so! What are you doing here? Why are you here? Is there a problem?”.

Immediately they shook their heads and replied with the answer to my question, “no problem sir but we were sent by Mrs. Elena Khan, who we got to find out was your mom during the conference yesterday she wants to step down as the chairwoman of the company and reinstate you as the new chairman and the heir to the Khan industries”.

It’s crazy to think that, Elena Khan would be willing to step down from being the chairwoman of the company without a fight, who knows maybe, my mom might be going soft.

I ushered them in, as they brought out the power of attorney documents to me and requested I sign my signature on it, thus without thinking I pulled out my pen and signed on the papers, after that they left, hurling Elena in.

I watched and saw the gloomy look on her face, she walks past trying not to get my attention but I knew my mom wanted me to, still, I didn’t alter a single word and watched her leave.

The subsequent day, I worked with my laptop in the living room, I was engulfed going through the statement of account, when I found out that the statement of accounts from the past three months is missing, the balance of each month doesn’t at up, and I knew who had the answers to my questions, without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called methane home, she walks in after an hour time, and inquired the reason behind the paranoid tone, she noticed through the phone.

“Please kindly explain, what this is?”. I tossed the documents to her as she reads through them, she lifts her head the second, her eyes ran through the last words, retorting back with a question, “I don’t understand Mr khan! What this mean?”.

It seems the mind games played by my mom weren’t enough, methane seems to be working on the same game with me, by trying to play dumb.

“Are you asking that? Tell me the truth, apart from your hate towards Elena, what else are you hiding?”. (We both stared at each other for a while before she retorts back to me) “I don’t think I know anything Mr. Khan, why don’t you ask someone else!”. (She veers to leave but halts noticing I stopped her, repaying her to mine)”I know that you’re responsible for the missing money in the company”.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Methane giggled and turned to me, donning a funny look on her face, “what did you just say? Missing money! I am responsible for it? Is this how to thank me for helping you get to where you are?”. She spots a weird look on my countenance, is it just me or does methane, feel like she didn’t me a favor?”.
