Anu And Her First Love

ARJUN SMITH (P.O.V)

It's been five years since my father forcing me to take over his company. And I was refusing every time he tried to talk about that. That doesn't mean I wasn't interested in being a CEO. Who wouldn't desire? But what I was thinking was he's my inspiration like, how he built his empire like zero to No.1. I was also wanted to be like him, and he was trying to make me sit on his chair without letting me fall and rise on my own. I don't know why most of the parents didn't have the guts to see their kids falling and rising like the sun?

I grabbed my laptop from the bed on the way to the dining room. While descending the stairs I watched the time and realized I still have time to kill.

When I got to our dining room Alice, chef, welcomed me with her affectionate smile on her face. I ate my breakfast as she served me. She'd always serve with a smile on her face and sweetness in her voice.

And... Speaking of foods, this was the perfect time for my mom's intro but where's she? This was her regular time to shout, "Arjun!" there she was. Her voice echoed in that huge room as I turned to see her face with a smile as always.

"Mom, I was just thinking about you," I said as my eyes followed her as she took a seat beside me.

"Like, I'd believe." She gave me that annoyed look.

"Where's dad?" I asked her when I realized that she and I was the only person in that room except for Alice. He was the one who supposes to come first for the intro.

"He'd already left for Miami for a meeting. Didn't you see him while leaving?" she asked, surprised in her tone. "Aah!" she said like she just remembered something. "He came to your room by four before leaving but when he saw that you were sleeping tight he didn't want to disturb you."

"Okay, I'll call him later, then." I shrugged, making clear that we were cool here.

"Ahh!" she said, again with her "just remembered something", tone.

"Now, what?"

forgot to mention that he asked me to say that he was retiring tomorrow and you're going

be the "Arjun Smith, the CEO of the Smith industries of my father's company."
