I Need You To Be There.... For a little more than Always!!!

Part 69:

Manik: Good morning guys....

Manik greeted everyone as they settled down for breakfast the next morning.

Abhi: Morng Manik... Come sit!!

Manik smiled at him and took his seat as his eyes flickered to the chair right in front of his. Abhi noticed his gaze and said,

Abhi: Nandu is with Amms this morning!! She won't come for breakfast...

Cabir: But when did she return last night....

Cabir asked finally looking up from his food.

Abhi: The driver told me that they reached back at around 1:30. Well, knowing Nandini... I know this too was quite early, so it's cool!!

Abhi shrugged when Manik's phone rang.

Manik: oh excuse me!!

Manik said as he got up from the table and moved two steps back. He takes over the call for less than a minute when they heard his surprised voice.

Manik: What??

Person: Yes sir...

Manik: Ohk hang on for a sec

Manik smiled brightly as he moved towards the table and asked everyone to stay quite as he turned the phone on speaker.

Manik: yeah Shubham what were u saying.... Come again!!

Shubham: Sure actually the file that I mailed u, that has been edited now so I will hv to send u the correct one now!!! Actually Nandini ma'am has called me today during office hours and she checked the entire file and found a lot of mistakes.

Manik: Office hours?? U know right its night here...

Shubham: Yes sir I know... I asked mam but she didn't listen to me!! She stayed up all night. After correcting the file, she had asked me to arrange a video conference with all the team heads and even her team. And then asked me to send u the revised edition.

Manik's smile could be explained as it passed from his ear to ear.

Manik: Ohk ohk u do that!!

Shubham: Sir... Actually, I called for another reason....

Manik: Yeah say...

Shubham: Sir, I hv sent u the termination letters of two of our employees, I needed u to sign them and mail it back so that I could send it to them....

Manik: Termination letters??? Who fired them?

Manik asked confused finally fading out his smile but it didn't last longer as he heard his reply,

Shubham hesitated a bit at his question after which he answered.

Shubham: Sir Nandini Ma'am.... They had done major mistakes on the project and then she heard them unknowingly passing on our company and U... So....

Manik: Ohk I'll send those back to u....

Manik said swiftly as he disconnected the call and smiled broadly.

Abhi: Wow...

Cabir: Thats progress Manik.... Nandini couldn't keep herself from work, she even forgot that she had resigned before leaving!!

Cabir exclaimed making Manik glare at him.

Manik: I'll kill u right here, if she remembers it bcoz of u.
