It has not been long since this happened. It seems as if it has just happened. Actually, this incident has been discussed so much in the whole city that it can be called the story of the year. This is the story of Ram Avatar.

He started from the bottom in a corporate group of the city. That is, he was a peon in the office of that group. But he was very skilled, cheerful and sociable. Whatever the work was, no matter how it was, he would immediately follow the orders. Gradually, he was included in the list of trusted people of the boss.

What happened then. Ram Avatar had all his five fingers in ghee and his head in the frying pan. He kept learning new things every day, the boss kept promoting him. When he learned computer, the boss was happy and made him LDC. He did good work. With time, he also learned the work of accounts.

Then he got promoted as accounts manager. Then he used his brain. He also bought some shares of the company and gradually strengthened his hold on the company.

Time passed. Luck changed. He joined the company’s board of directors. Then what, he became obsessed with one thing – how to become the boss. He started plotting many types of frauds. Got fake documents prepared.

He never missed any opportunity to defame the boss, to criticize him. Slowly he started wooing the boss’s secretary.

The boss’s secretary was no less. After all, she had been with the boss for many years. The boss had made her loyal by helping her in trouble many times. Hence, when Ram Avtar proposed to her about removing the boss, she was with the boss wholeheartedly. But seeing Ram Avatar’s position getting stronger day by day in the office, she kept Ram Avatar engaged by saying yes from above and it was as if Ram Avatar’s brain was blinded. Hence, he kept believing the secretary without thinking. This was what the secretary was waiting for.

She started informing the boss about Ram Avatar’s activities and the conspiracy being hatched by him. The boss also became cautious about him. He also started keeping an eye on him.

One night he was caught in CCTV while having a secret conversation with the boss’s secretary. He was trying to convince the secretary how to defame the boss and how much money he would give her for this work.

As soon as the boss got a hint of this, he took immediate action. He called a meeting of the Board of Directors at midnight. In that, the boss implicated Ram Avatar by presenting all the evidence and winning the trust of the board, got the proposal of his massive demotion passed.

Now Ram Avtaar has again become a peon in that office and keeps thinking all day while sitting on his chair that why did he unnecessarily dream of becoming a boss.

Moral of the story: Never become a threat to the one who takes you forward. At least don’t mess with the boss.
