CHAPTER 6

The hospital was really busy till late at night, due to the incident, even on the next day, some rustle-bustle could be heard periodically, inside the VIP ward.

Anika had woken up early to ensure swift work and management of the hospital in the time of crisis, as the hospital was under her company, or more like its subsidiary. So she had to make sure there were no mistakes during this critical time.

"Phew" She finally took some rest, after working continuously until the nurse advised her to get some rest or her condition would deteriorate.

"It was tiring, lets hope there won't be any mistake" Anika thought, slipping back into the hospital bed.

Soon after a nurse came for her daily check-ups and vital check, "All good ma'am, but still I would advise you to not overexert yourself, or it will lead to a bad turn." 

"Hmm, I'll keep that in mind" Anika nodded.

"There is still a lot to do, the company must've been in havoc by now, I need to be discharged by today." She thought, As the victims were rushed to the company's hospital, there must have been a real chaos in there, and she wasn't there to make important decisions during this critical time, due to her chronic disease being resurfaced again.

"Excuse me, miss," Anika called the nurse.

"Yes ma'am"

"Could you please prepare my discharge papers, and please hurry up the procedure" 

"But ma'am you haven't recovered enough to-"

"I know, I will remember to have enough rest-"

"Uh, okay ma'am I will call the doctor and prepare the discharge papers."

After some checkups by the doctor, Anika's discharge was final, although the doctors tried to persuade her to recover a bit more, but she knew that she had to be present at the company during this time.

As most of the staff were busy dealing with the patients that came last night, Anika thought that It would be better to just head to reception downstairs and complete the procedure there, instead of making them get it to her room.

"Here's your discharge documents ma'am, please sign here" The beautiful receptionist said, giving her a file of papers.

"Here's your belongings ma'am" A staff person came, putting Anika's bag near the reception table and a book over some bag that was already lying there.

"OH! thanks I forgot to get them" Anika said, after shining the documents, she picked up her bag, and just as she picked up the book, she felt a small electric shock.

"Ouch!" She immediately pulled her hand back.

"What happened ma'am?" they asked.

"Nothing...Don't mind."

She took the book and her luggage, the driver was waiting for her at the entrance, seeing her carrying the luggage, and rushed to her, "Please ma'am" he said, taking her luggage.

"Phew, please drive to the office." She said, sitting at the back.

"Yes ma'am"

Sitting at the back she opened the book, "It seems you won't stop clinging to me" She thought while looking at the book.

Opening to the current page, where the book was writing her, suddenly- "Stop-stop-stop" Anika said to the driver, the driver applied the brake immediately as the car stopped with a loud .

She did so because the book suddenly wrote a strange line.--"Under Street -23- Lane 3"--

"Isn't the turn that just passed", she thought, recalling the name of the turn that was written on the sign board that had just passed by.

"Move to Under street -23 - lane -3" She told the driver, "Yes ma'am" and without any questioning, he made a U-turn and turned left to the addressed road.

The road was mostly crowded, it seemed like a fan meetup of some drama was going on, seeing the amount of crowd , it seemed like a popular one.

"What is it indicating here?" She pondered, as the car drove through slowly.

"There-there is nothing here, other than some cast and fans or these video displays of maybe a scene from the drama?"

"Please, back to the office building" She told the driver, holding her forehead, pondering over what the book meant.

They were now finally at the front of the company building, "The K.C Group", it was the group which her father built, painstakingly, which Anika always had a feeling of obligation and responsibility towards.

Of-course there was her brother, whom she thinks is only after the ownership of the company nor did he feel any responsibility towards the company or any obligation to do so.

"Haa, those old geezers will definitely try to cut down my promotion to board member, and I absolutely shouldn't give them any reason to do so." Anika said, looking at the 20 story building.

But what she had feared happened, The atmosphere on the floor where her office was very tense, her secretary rushed up to her, "Ma'am..." She said that the CFO (Chief Finance Officer) with the finance manager had just visited, asking for her, they even scolded all the employees present there at the moment.

This really made her furious, "How dare they think that they could do anything they think with my team."

"Ma'am, the board directors had called up a meeting," her secretary said.

"What's the reason?" Anika asked.

"The dropping of stock price" 

"Ah, this is gonna be a headache, do we have anything at the moment that could be of use?"

"Umm.. I'll try to come up with something and bring them"

"Hmm, okay, let's face them" Anika, headed towards the meeting room.

And just as she had anticipated, the atmosphere there was no joke, still she entered there and took her seat.

Most of the board members, the vice president-her uncle and also her brother were present, and seeing them Anika had understood that they had already cooked something for her.

"Miss Anika, The company is going through this delicate time, and why were you not present during such time, care to give some explanation" A chubby man in his 50's, with bold and connected eyebrows said, he was none other than the chief finance officer , MR. Rakesh Chobby.

"I was not at leave, I was already at the hospital, throughout the incident, already handling the affairs on the site."

Mr. Chobby went silent, after a bit he spoke again, as the Vice-President- Anika's uncle signaled something to him, "The stock prices are falling down, due to the previous failed project regarding the manufacturing of 'P-Com' tablet, as a test for your promotion of Chief executive director, we expect some answer from you."

This sudden question left Anika speechless in confusion, "Seems like this is the spear head they've prepared for me", Anika stood up and headed onto the podium.
