Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

272 Taking care of his things - 2

"Are you out of your mind Akira?"

"No, I am not. I am telling you the sanest thing I am capable of speaking right now".

"But isn't that directly disrespecting his wishes? He made you the owner for a reason. Maybe God had a reason behind it all. He left his legacy in your hands, not mine, so I think it's your sole responsibility to take care of it."

Akira lowered her head and then spoke,

"I don't intend to disrespect him. But in my hands, his company won't flourish. I am no Raymond. I don't have that passion in me to drive it all David".

"Who told you that you have to do it alone? Aren't you forgetting I am still there to support you at each and every step of yours? I am not going to let you falter Akira. It's just a matter of time. You will learn everything. The company will grow under your leadership".

"What do you mean David? Do you also think that he is not going to come back? You want me to be his replacement? Is that why you came here for?"

Akira asked in disbelief because of all people, she thought he would be the one who still had faith that Raymond would return.

"You are misunderstanding me. What I mean to say is that he counted on you. Always. Even for the secret phase of GCG, he banked on you rather than other senior members of the team. That's because he had an eye for talent. He believed in your potential and so do I. So don't you think that it's paramount for you to keep his faith in you intact? Don't you think you should guard his fort till he comes back?"

Akira looked at him in silence.

"Of all the people, at least you can understand how much this company mattered to him. It is all his blood and sweat Akira. You just cannot let it be washed away".

"Am I good enough. How can I handle this alone? Will others accept me? I mean I am just an intern".

"You are not alone in this Akira, the entire Delphie is standing together for you. And you are not just an intern. You are the owner of Delphie now, so your age, your credentials, really don't matter. You will become all polished with time".

She had no answer and no way to rebut his statements because she knew that whatever he said was right.

"Taking a deep breath she asked,

"Where all I have to sign? Oh no, wait, first I want to know what all terms are included in here. Can you please help to explain them to me in the most basic form in which I can understand".

"I will be pleased to", saying that David smiled.

"But before that can I get a glass of water and a glass juice?"

"Ah, sure", Akira said and went to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water and juice and gave it to David.

"The water is for me, the juice is for you", saying that David took only water and smiled at her.

Hearing him, she smiled. It was perhaps after weeks that she had smiled.

After explaining her everything, David took her signature in those files and then left her place.

Then coming back into the car, David opened his phone and texted,

"I have obtained her signatures on the contract" - [David]

"How about going back to the company?" - [Sebastian]

"She will be joining from tomorrow" - [David]

"Take care of her and make sure she takes good care of the company until my son comes back" - [Sebastian]
