Chapter 4 - New CEO

James had taken admission for Rachel in one of the top high schools in the country. He wants Rachel to stay in the school campus as there are best amenities there, and he wants Rachel to learn everything from her own experiences. He can hire a lady caretaker to look after Rachel and afford a bungalow, but he wants his granddaughter to learn by herself and be an independent woman so he didn't arrange all such luxuries for her.

After completing formalities in the school, James thought to visit a few places along with Rachel so that they can spend more time together.

James hired a tourist guide and visited a few places. After staying for a few days now it was time for him to leave.

It was the first time Grandfather and Granddaughter are separating and they shared a very special bond between them, which couldn't be explained in words.

James' heart was heavy and Rachel looked very upset. But the situation was hopeless and they had to accept it.

James assured Rachel that he would visit her frequently and not to worry and asked her to be strong.

Although she stayed in the US for 8 long years, she and her grandpa ensured to meet during holidays, mostly grandpa was the one who came to meet her.

She rarely visited London, she came back only two times in eight years.

Later she completed her masters too in the US with business management as her major. Grandpa came for her convocation day and was very proud of his granddaughter.

James was excited and a little bit nervous. Something else occupied his mind.

When Rachel approached him with her graduation certificate, he asked her "Dear, are you happy or am I forcing you to study this course which would help me to run the business. I am a little bit worried and want to know the truth, please be honest."

Rachel was surprised by his question but decided to honestly answer him, "Grandpa I really want to pursue business management and I intend to take our business forward, it is indeed what I really want to do." so don't feel guilty.

Grandpa felt very relieved and proud of Rachel. They spent a few days in L.A. Later, Rachel bid goodbye to her friends and left L.A. along with her grandpa as it was now time to return back to London.

Rachel and Grandpa reached London. As it was a long journey Rachel was very tired and slept for a very log time after she woke up, grandpa who was waiting for her asked her "Have you slept well my dear?"

Rachel replied "Yeah grandpa, I am feeling better now. It seems like you want to discuss something?"

Grandpa was surprised that she saw through him, he then decided to be honest, "Dear, tomorrow I am planning to invite people related to business, elite groups, politicians and friends to announce you as the new CEO of our business. Are you ready or am I going a little too fast?"

Rachel smiled and told him, "Not at all grandpa. I am eagerly waiting for this day and want to help you."

Grandpa then asked Rachel to get ready for the big day and go shopping as the next day is going to be very important for them.

Next day the mansion was occupied with guests. They were eagerly waiting for Rachel. She was wearing white formal skirt paired with green shirt with simple earrings and light makeup. 

Later her grandpa announced the news and introduced her as the new CEO of his company
