May be I am in minority but I didn't mind Neil not getting a chair to sit. 
Technically he isn't in a position to get a chair there, those chairs were reserved for board members and only one extra chair was there for the legal head Vidur Bharadawaj. I remember in one board meeting Dhanraj didn't even allow Vidur Uncle to step inside and join. Yuvika being the Chairperson allowed Neil there as her assistant that's why none objected otherwise Neil had no power to be there no matter how he has always been the backbone in Yuvika's journey. However him standing beside Yuvika like that in the board room spoke volumes about his power position and strength in Yuvika's life! I loved that. I loved that he was there standing tall beside her and I am also loving the fact that someday the opposition will have to send this particular man away from Yuvika in order to target her in board room, this says alot about the MAN beside the Queen
