Chapter 648: Mindful

At Digion Tech,

It was a startup company that opened not too long ago. But due to problems in funds, it was facing issues in management and affecting the employees. After all, they need money to feed their family.

Arsh wasn't completely sure how the owner of the company was going to receive him. Because in the end, it was money that won in terms of power instead of dedication or knowledge. 

Arsh knew it wasn't the time to think of reaching the expectations of his parents but to have his foothold in the company. He wasn't used to talking nice or be polite so he wasn't sure how he was going to manage things at Digion.

Meanwhile, he looked up the progress of the projects and the possible improvements, bugs in the application. He recalled how people doubted his father and how her mother came up to her position. So he chose both combined.

This was going to be a tough fight for him in the world, where he will have to own his title, honored to be able to succeed his father and mother.

Standing in front of a small tall building, Arsh knew only two floors were owned by Digion. In a quarter, he wanted this two floors company to be huge enough to own a private, small yet sufficient building. He knew it was too short but that's the challenge he needed.

His eyes swept over the team who were curiously, fearfully, and uncomfortably watching him with numerous thoughts in mind. Yet they stood together to welcome him. 

Arsh was sure they would be thinking as he was there to satisfy his parents while all he would do was waste time, ordering them around. That's another challenge, Arsh had the confidence to change it in just a day or two.

He took a step towards the new side of life he never thought of following. He had no complaints when he knew it was doing it for the girl he loves and for their family to relax.

He had just taken a few steps, he heard a car stop in jerk. Turning around, he saw Noor excitedly smiling and ran to his arms, "Ea..sy…" Arsh's lips failed to be settled, holding her in his embrace. He could feel her wide grin which he had never got for his previous job.

"Do you know? Dad was so happy to hear that you have started working." It was her father who told her Arsh returned and he would be working at a small company called Digion. The place was close to her office so she reached without calling him.

The Digion team looked at each other witnessing the development. They had heard of Arsh Morgan completely differently. Some thought he would be cold as an iceberg, just like his father.

"Sooo… You aren't happy?" He slowly let down from his arms to the floor. Somebody was braver than he had thought her to be.

His fingers ran over her hair and held them when they wildly danced with the wind. Noor grinned, "Your office is so close to mine."

"Are you happy about that?" He didn't know what to say about it. 

Noor gave it a thought. She had once convinced herself she had to get used to Arsh leaving her frequently for months. So it was a surprise for her. She ended up nodding to his question when it didn't need any answer.

"Unlike you, Director Wood, I am going to be a little worker at a small company."

"So?" Noor didn't understand why he said that.

Arsh shook his head. He had thought girls would expect their men to be in a higher and better position than them. 

Noor continued, laughing to herself, "Dad said, I should help you with the business. He doesn't know you have a list of degrees."

Another voice interjected before Arsh's response, "Looks like we would be a disturbance."

The two turned around and saw Ivan and Arna waving their hands at them. Not too late, Naira got off from her company car coming straight from the shoot. Then Rooney, Finn, Jasmine, Levi… All poured in. 

The Digion team was bewildered. There were so many big icons in front of their office and so many were there, just to show their support and wish Arsh Morgan. Everyone started to doubt if Arsh was what the media says or if those were just rumors.

By the time Arsh met and sent everyone away, it took twenty minutes. But one still latched on to him. "Do you want to come in?"

Noor was about to nod, but asked, "Will it be alright?"

Arsh didn't respond, Instead took her inside. He had no plans to give lengthy speeches or it was time to get to know one other. It was time to work.

The founder of the company was a young man about the same age as Arsh. He stepped forward and handed Arsh a bouquet, "Welcome Mr. Morgan… I mean General manager Morgan, welcome to our team."

Arsh and Noor could feel he was still digesting Morgan Industries bought the shares and invested millions of worth of money which he was struggling to get.

"I am Davin Joseph." He shook Arsh's hand forcing a smile.

Arsh gave a small nod, "Arsh Morgan. You can call me Arsh." He turned to Noor, "She is Noor Wood. My girlfriend." Noor smiled at him before nodding at Davin.

Davin nodded in greeting Noor. He was about to introduce the rest to Arsh, the latter continued, "let's have a quick informal meeting in the office."

The media was taking pictures of everything so he wanted to go out of their sight. He still thought about what is going to be viral. His pictures with the little woman next to him or him joining the small company. He was sure if the media chooses the latter, it wouldn't be in good light. People would think Aria and Alan were punishing their son.

Who cares!

In the office, Arsh asked the employees to just be seated as he walked between the cubicles while speaking.

"I am aware you have a lot of questions and doubts about me. Please keep them, I don't mind. Coming to the fear that I might lay off somebody if I don't like you. Rest assured, that decision will be taken by your boss, Davin. He will still be the leader of the whole team whereas I will be joining as a developer in Research and development team, I hope that's acceptable for you all."

Noor pursed her lips watching the crows shocked to their bones. Even Davin was thunderstruck without being able to match the speed of Arsh.

Noor whispered when Arsh came towards her, "Sometimes you have to be mindful of your speed so that the team could follow your lead." She advised him.

Arsh leaned close to her and whispered, "I might not speak so much with them again."

Noor silently chuckled as she nodded, "I know that."
