Chapter 1
Geet
looked at her paper work. Since she had taken over the work, paper was all she
got to see in a day. And she had the feeling that the more she was working, the
more paper filed up.
"I
can't do this" she concluded one evening. Adi looked at her. He felt sorry for
this girl.
"Look
Geet I am sure you can do it."
"Thanks
for trying to encourage me Adi but this is way too much. I have never learned
anything about business and now I need to run an entire company on my own." She
looked at the fat book Adi had given her. There was everything she needed to
know but didn't have time to read it.
"Adi,
call a meeting with absolutely everyone who works for me. I can't do this alone
I need everyone's help." Adi nodded. He knew Geet now for some time. She never
took help and she was proud to be able to do all her work herself. But this was
different. If she didn't take over this company a lot of people would have lost
their jobs. She didn't want to be responsible for that.
Next
morning Geet didn't want to believe her eyes. There were only a handful people
in the big room.
"IS
THIS IT?" she asked into the crowd. They all looked at each other.
Geet
fell into her chair and sighed.
"Great.
What happened with all the other employees?"
"They
left ma'am. Most of them took up jobs at other companies because this one is
closing soon." Romeo said.
"And
why are you all here then, why don't you all leave?" Geet was frustrated.
"Because
we believe in you." Manish said.
"Ok"
Geet felt encouraged enough to say what she wanted:
"Listen
everyone. I am Geet and I have to run this place now. I am not doing it because
I have too much time on my hand but I am doing it so you guys don't lose your
jobs. I know how hard it is to live without the prospect of a regular income.
But I
don't know how to run a company. I come from a science background. Ask me about
the liver or kidney and I can entertain you for a whole day, but ask me about
business and I won't be even able to tell you about the straight line in the B.
I
need your help. You all have worked here for quite some time now and know what
needs doing. If possible I want one person from each department to come to me,
who, I don't care. I want you to tell me what you do and what is important. It
is going to be like a crash course for me. I am sorry for this rather
unpleasant news but we can give it a try, can't we." They all nodded. They
dispersed but one person was sitting in a corner and did not move.
"Miss,
what shall I do?" he asked Geet.
"Which
department do you belong to?"
"Actually
I am an intern here." Geet raised her brow.
"Intern?
What made you join this firm? You seem bright enough so why not some other
place?"
"I
like it here and to be honest I send off my application too late for the
others" he replied rather embarrassed. Geet liked his honesty.
"Did
you just finish college?" He nodded.
"What
did you do there?"
"Business"
"Then
you are just my man. From today on you are my personal tutor. Your job is to
teach me what I need to do. What is your name?"
"Vicky."
"Ok
Vicky, follow me."
Geet
and Vicky left. Later that afternoon Geet met with various people. She thanked
them all that they still stuck with Mishra Constructions and asked them about
their work. Vicky made notes and explained Geet what is important and what not.
At
the end Geet's head was full of information which needed a good nights sleep to
digest, but the day was not over yet.
"Riya,
how are you?" Geet asked.
"..."
"How
is Armaan? Did he settle in well?"
"..."
"Yes,
work is doing better now. Today I met with an Angel. He just finished his
college and is helping me understand this business stuff."
"..."
"Ok,
I don't want to keep you awake, take care." She hung up and continued work.
