The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 31

But before Haris can put Gil's company under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. there is a problem that

arises.

The owners of the companies under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. are only relatives and close friends of

Haris who all belong from upper class society; they only wanted business partners or company owners

that are also from the society where they belong.

They don't want to accept anyone who is not related to any one of them like Gil to belong to H & A

Summit Holdings, Inc.

They suggest that if Gil wants to belong in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., any of Gil's son or daughter

will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.

Unfortunately, Gil's daughter and son who are step brother and sister of Haya got married at their early

age.

So Gil's only hope is Haya.

Haya is still single at the age of 30.

The relatives and friends of Haris who own a company under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. suggested

that Haya, the daughter of Gil will marry Atif.

Because Atif is the only available or still not in a relationship so he can marry Haya.

Most of Atif's cousins are married or have a fiancé.

Even his step brother Jasmin is about to get married next month.

Also the sons of their close friends who are their business partners and own the companies under the

holdings are all in a relationship.

Some are married.

Others are about to get married

So Atif is the only choice.

Yes Atif is only in his early 20's and too young to get married but he is the only choice.

Atif is 5 or 6 years younger than Haya.

Haris explained to them the condition of Gil's daughter Haya.

Because of Haya's condition she and Atif cannot just get married even Haya will arrive in the country

as an overseas worker.

But the company of Gil needs a fund badly.

It can't wait for Haya to regain her memory.

So they all agreed to accept Gil's company to become part of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and

release the fund for Gil's company to be saved but it is accompanied with one condition.

Their condition is: Gil will sign an agreement.

On that agreement, it is indicated that in exchange of the subsidiaries that Gil will get from H&A Summit

Holdings, Inc. Gil will agree that Haya will marry Atif when Haya know that she is the long lost daughter

of Gil. And if Gil didn't fulfill what is asked on the agreement his company will be taken by H & A

Summit Holdings, Inc. and this will be given to the other business partner to manage. In short, Gil

ownership with his own company will be terminated.

Gil agreed to them and signed the contract.

Haris, as a chief executive of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. ordered his relatives and friends not to

tell it to Atif until the date of the marriage was set.

Haris' relatives and friends agreed to what he wanted.

They will not tell Atif anything about the contract until the date of his marriage is set.

Haris intentionally send Atif on a business trip for 2 days before he called this meeting among his

relatives and close friend who belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. to resolve the issue that arise

when Haris made about the proposal that he wants to put Gil's company under H & A Summit

Holdings, Inc.

Haris did that because he didn't want Atif's mind to be disturbed such things at this early point in time.

Haris knew that his relatives and close friends will suggest that his grandson Atif will be the one who

will marry Haya.

So he chose to send Atif away for a while so that he won't hear these suggestions and decisions of

them.

He wanted Atif’s mind to focus first on the new business that is about to open.

Haris fears that if Atif loses focus on that the progress of the opening will be delayed.

Haris wants to inform Atif about this marriage after the business is successfully open and if the factory

is in its successful operation.

On the other hand, Atif is on his way to Mostar for the business trip.

Atif wonders why his grandfather sent him away while what he knew is there is a meeting between

Haris and among their relatives and close friends on H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.

What he knew about the reason is to resolve some issue about one company that his grandfather

wants to become their subsidiary.

But his grandfather didn't tell him anything about this.

Atif just heard it from the rumors that arises on the company but he didn't know which exactly the

company is and who the owner is.

He wanted to know so he was very interested to attend such a meeting but his grandfather immediately

sent him to a business trip before the date of the meeting.

Atif arrived at Mostar.

He immediately went to the office of the person whom his grandfather told him to meet.

The office is located at the corner of one of the streets in Mostar.

Haris wants to meet him because according to his grandfather this person wants to sell a parcel of land

to Haris.

Haris wants Atif to check if the property is worth buying for.

When Atif reaches the office of that person, the secretary tells him to wait for a while because her boss

is not yet around but on his way to the office now.

Atif sits in the waiting area to wait for the boss.

While waiting Atif notices that the office building is just small and not so elegant.

Some furniture is worn out even the color of this coach where he is sitting has faded.

The secretary offers him a cup of coffee while waiting.

The secretary boasts that the brand of coffee is the favorite of her boss' wife for it is not only expensive

but tastes delicious.

It is obvious that the secretary wants to get Atif attention that's why she offers coffee to have the reason

to talk longer to Atif.

The secretary tried to flirt with Atif for she knew that Atif is rich and not only handsome.

Atif is aware of it.

Atif just receives the coffee and thanks the secretary but he has no intention to drink it.

Atif put the coffee on the center table, then found an excuse to dismiss the secretary when his

cellphone received a message.

He immediately pulled the cellphone from his pocket and focused his attention in reading the message.

He doesn't even glance at the secretary anymore.

Because of that the secretary left him alone.

Atif reads that the message is from Aliyah.

"Almir I accepted your offer." Aliyah's message said.

Atif immediately typed his reply.

"Which offer?" Atif replied.

"You forgot? You said I can send you a message if I want to work in your country, right? “Aliyah said.

"Yes. So you want to work here?" Atif replied.

"As I have said I accepted your offer." Aliyah replied.

"Kidding aside?" Atif asked.

Atif wants to make sure if Aliyah is serious about accepting his offer and not just playing games with

him.

"Are you going to help me or not?" Aliyah replied.

"Yes I will." Atif replied.

Atif doesn't know what to think about Aliyah.

She is too frank and knows what she wants this time unlike before that she don’t know which way to

go.

"So what kind of job are you offering?" Aliyah asked. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“My friend’s company needs a warehouse staff.” Atif replied.

“Whose friend? Atif?” Aliyah asked.

Atif smile when he reads the message of Aliyah.

“No. Of course not. Why? You want to see Atif that’s why you ask?” Atif replied.

“It’s none of your business.” Aliyah replied.

Atif can’t stop himself from smiling when he reads the reply of Aliyah.

He knew that Aliyah is annoyed again with his question.
