Finally he decided that it's time to speak with the HR team. He took an appointment where in during the meeting Anas Head HR, Ms. Maryam head Finance both were present. Curious Mohsin directly started with the question "Why my name is not there in the transfer list"? "I want to know the reason for the rejection of my application".

Now he is in Sleek and I am still here. "Anas started, "But, Mohsin why do you apply for the transfer every year, the compensation, benefits, timing, culture everything is same in both the plants" There prevailed an absolute silence. Mohsin broke the silence, "All are same, but the finance department is big there with lot many employees. I can perform more, I can shine more. "Maryam Says, "Ok Mohsin, now I understood your issue. Being the head finance I am giving my Pre-concern, If Mohsin applies for transfer next year ! don't have any issue in giving clearance to him".

He recollected the conversation between him and Maryam on the transfer application of Mohsin Maryam says, "Anas, Mohsin is very dynamic. In very young age he is excelling well. I want to mold him in various financial aspects. If we put him in Sleek he may not get the exposure in all aspects as the department is big. Moreover", Maryam continues, Junaid who is sub head of finance will get retired in 2 years. So I wish Mohsin to take over the position." Now, Anas taught both Maryam and Mohsin are not in a situation to understand, So he planned that next day he will talk with both of them and make the things and intention of Maryam transparent. Anas was shattered the next day when he received the resignation letter from Mohsin still always wanted to be stating that due to personal reasons he is resigning from the job.
