chapter 48

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!Chapter 48 :Yeshwanth’s heart swelled with pride as he watched Sagarika’s unwavering demeanor and firm determination while expressing her decision. It always made him proud to see her professionalism, her ability to remain steadfast in business matters despite any conflicts at home. He knew Sagarika was a woman who never flinched in the face of hardships within the company. No matter what she endured in her personal life, once she stepped into the corporate world, she prioritized the company’s success above all else. Even if she held hostility toward someone personally, if they were efficient and capable, she would support them without hesitation. This was what made her a true professional, a woman with unshakable business ethics.Nandu, too, felt a sense of pride watching his mother’s resolute stance. Yet, deep down, there was also a pang of hurt—why couldn’t she show the same broad-minded thinking when it came to her children’s happiness?Casting a glance across the room, Yeshwanth declared,“So, if anyone is ready to propose another candidate, remember that my full support remains with Anand, solely based on his efficiency in business. However, if anyone still has second thoughts, you are free to announce your preferred choice”. He left the decision open, ensuring he didn’t appear monopolistic.The directors exchanged glances, and within moments, several of them voiced their support for Anand to continue as CEO. Seeing the growing consensus, Dharmender had no choice but to step back from his proposal. Even those who had initially sided with him quickly changed their stance, unwilling to offend Yeshwanth.At last, unanimous support was declared for Anand, prompting Yeshwanth to make the final announcement.“Well, gentlemen! Since no one has any objections, Anand will continue in his position as CEO. Let’s also allow him some time to settle in—he is a newly married man, after all. We should give him some personal space, don’t you think?”, Yeshwanth chuckled, casting a teasing glance at Nandu.Nandu groaned inwardly at his father’s playful remark but quickly composed himself. Rising to his feet, he cleared his throat and addressed the room.“Thank you all for your confidence in my abilities. I assure you that I will put in my utmost effort to keep our company at the top, ensuring that no competitor surpasses us”, he said firmly.Pausing for a deep breath, he continued,“I also want to take this opportunity to apologize for not informing you all about my marriage earlier. To make up for it, I will be hosting a reception at the end of the week, and I personally invite each of you to attend and bless us with your heartfelt wishes. An official invitation will be sent via email once the arrangements are finalized”.As he finished, the directors rose to their feet, applauding him. They congratulated him, wishing him success in both his married life and his professional journey before leaving the meeting room.-  *KRISH*
