MY SHARES 2

The elevator door stopped at the top floor and both Abigail and Rebecca made their way out as they walked towards the meeting room door.

Abigail opened the door and the battering stopped as everyone looked at her with shock on their faces. They were told that they were expecting someone new today but they never thought it was going to be a woman. Not only that she was also an employee, people began to whisper to each other's ears as they looked at her.

Abigail didn't find their reaction surprising as she was the only woman in the room apart from Rebecca, she was expecting everyone to be shocked.

Abigail didn't mind the looks she was getting as she quietly took her sit as she waited for the meeting to start.

She didn't see why it was compulsory for her to attend this meeting as she had already made it clear that she was not interested in selling her shares but since the message wasn't heard she was willing to announce it today to everyone.

Not long after she entered an Unfamiliar face also entered the room and she noticed how the man was uneasy until he saw her and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

Abigail didn't know why he acted that way but she didn't care either as she had more things to worry about.

Abigail checked the time on her watch and it was already five minutes to nine, the meeting would soon begin.

"Miss do you think the person who wants to buy your shares has arrived yet?" Rebecca asked as she looked at the faces of the men present in the room.

"I believe I should be the one asking you that question Rebecca" Abigail said before she focussed her attention to the front as she heard them announce that the meeting was now commencing.

As usual they talked about the Company's progress in the past few months and how the income had been low due to the fact that their competitors are now getting some of their customers.

It soon came to the part when they began to talk about the company shares. A middle aged man then walked up to the front as he introduced himself as Mr Lee.

He began his talk about how the income was getting lower by the minute and he made a proposal saying that if he was given the chance he could make some improvement.

Abigail eyes scanned the room as she looked at the faces of the men present and she could finally understand what was happening. This people had already sold their shares to this man and all that was left was her fifty percent, the man wanted to get full ownership of the Chan globals hospital.

"Miss Williams, all you need to do is to sign this and then we can all watch this company return back to it's former glory again as the best hospital in Country D". Were the man's words as he handed over a written contract to Abigail.

All eyes were on Abigail as they all waited for her to say yes, Abigail couldn't help but be shocked with the large amount of money the man was willing to pay. Abigail raised her head as she looked at the faces of everyone in the room, and all she saw in their eyes was lust, lust for money. No wonder they all sold their shares.

But Abigail wasn't like them and she wasn't that hungry for money.

"I'm sorry Mr Lee but I do not want to sell my shares". Abigail said and the whole room was filled with battering again.

"But miss Williams, you have to at least think about it first" Mr Lee tried to convince the lady but Abigail sternly refused his offer saying that there was nothing to think about.

"Miss Williams why are you being stubborn?" Came a voice of a man who seem to be around his sixties. Abigail had noticed how the man had been giving her the stink eye since she entered the room but she choose to ignore it but if the man was going to talk then by all means she would reply him.

"Mr Lee is willing to pay you a huge amount of money for your shares so why don't you accept it. You are just a newbie and don't know what's best for the Company but we do and we've sold ours so why are you being so stingy?"

The whole room went quiet after that last statement and Aliya couldn't help but smile, but it was not the kind that she would usually put on.

"Mr Walker, I believe the shares you were holding was just ten percent if I'm not mistaken and I hold fifty percent which makes me superior to you and the fact that you've sold your shares just makes you another employee in the hospital and me being the one with the highest share I have the right to kick you and your lazy ass out of my hospital" Abigail said and the whole room turned quiet as no one had ever stood up to Mr Walker like that.

"I bought those shares with my money and If I choose not to sell them then you don't have a say in it" Abigail said as she picked up the file and walked over to Mr Lee.

"You can go back to your boss and tell him that I am not willing to sell my shares to him no matter how much he drops" Abigail made her statement clear as she handed the file to the man.

She had delivered her message and there was nothing left for her to do and so she glanced at Rebecca and Rebecca understood the message as she stood up from her chair to follow behind Abigail as they left the meeting room.

"Wow miss, I think that Mr Lee guy really wants the shares so badly, you could have seen the look on his face when you said no"

Rebecca said as they both both entered the elevator.

Abigail didn't know why the man desperately needed her shares but she didn't care as she wasn't willing to sell it for any amount.
