The Odd Billionaire

Traizle

They smile at my compliments. Seeing them happy makes me happy too. I did not know that working here could make me gain friends I never thought of having.

Maybe because of Zarsuelo’s influence, I can’t even see an employee who is more serious than him. They are all friendly and fun to talk to.

Aeron and his team showed me their plan for the commercial and the example flyer that will be used afterwards.

“It is excellent,” I commented, after reviewing the video plan. “It will be more of a high quality after taking this one with the chosen celebrity.” I added.

I looked at the sample flyer and examined it.

“You guys did well, I can’t say anything with this sample already. You deserve a thumbs up.” I complimented.

They really prepared for this.

“Do you want me to show this to Zarsuelo?” I asked them.

“Do you think he will like it?” Anna asked.

“He is dumb if he will not,” I said, laughing. “Aeron, come with me. Let’s show this to oddball Zarsuelo.” I added, bringing the sample flyer with me.

“You are badmouthing the owner of this company, do you?” Aeron teased.

“I am just stating the truth.” I answered. “And also, even if you tell him about that, he will definitely take that as a joke or will bug me even more.” I added.

“The whole employees are curious about you,” Aeron said something that made me look at him. “I guess your blockmates did not tell you about that.” he added, laughing.

“Are they badmouthing me as well? Do they make some stories about me or what?” I asked, curious if they were talking about me in a bad way.

I will be shocked if that is really true. They are all smiling at me then, knowing that they are backstabbing me when I am not around. That’s bad.

“No, no,” he responded. “It is not what you think,” he added. “They are all curious because you can control him, Mr. Zarsuelo.” he continued.

“You can do that too. If you show him that you are stronger and more serious than he is, he will definitely listen to you,” I explained. “It is just, I can’t help myself but to hit him because he does not stop bugging me. You will definitely do that if you guys are in my shoes.” I added in relief.

“As long as you are here to control him, we can live peacefully,” he replied. “Sometimes, if he is bored in his office, he will go to every department, disturb our work, and leave with the mess he has made.” he added.

“He is an oddball President, isn’t he?” I asked.

“He really is, no doubt,” Aeron answered. “But he is good with this business, if he is not serious about this one. We will not meet each other and this is gone long ago. Look at him, he is not as busy as the others.” he added.

We stopped talking about Zarsuelo after entering his office.

“Hi, Wife! You came to visit your husband?” Zarsuelo asked. “Oh! Aeron, you are here as well. Want to see Traizle’s handsome husband?” He added, asking Aeron beside me.

“Don’t make me remove my shoe and hit it on your so-called handsome face. I will make sure to ruin that one.” I warned him.

He raised his hands in defeat.

“Okay, Wife. If you say so, I will be good for now.” Zarsuelo answered, laughing at me.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Aeron’s team finished the plan already,” I shared. “Watch this video sample and this is the sample flyer they made.” I added, giving him the sample flyer and the tablet containing the commercial plan.

We sat in front of him, waiting for Zarsuelo to finish the video.

Aeron is sitting nervously, because Zarsuelo is not showing any reaction while watching the video.

I tap Aeron’s hands and smile at him, telling him to not worry too much about it.

“Hey!” Zarsuelo suddenly exclaimed. “I saw what you did to him.” he said, looking at me seriously.

“And so?” I asked him.

“Unfair, you never did that to me.” said Zarsuelo, who is now pouting.

“How is the video sample?” I asked him, directing him to the important topic.

“It’s a high quality one, happy?” He answered. “Why did you have to make it so perfect, huh Aeron?” He asked Aeron.

“It is our work to make it perfect, Sir.” Aeron answered him.

Zarsuelo looks at the sample flyer next. After a few seconds, he looked at Aeron again.

“Even the sample flyer? How many compliments did you get from her?” He asked, pointing at me.

Aeron paused for a few seconds before looking back at Zarsuelo.

“Uhh. Five, Sir?” Aeron answered, not sure if he needed to tell him or not.

“Five!?” Zarsuelo exclaimed. “Isn’t it too much? You did not even give me a compliment for once!” He added, asking me.

I did, but only in my mind.

“You did well too, and I don’t have to say it every day because you know it already, so shut up now.” I told him to make him calm down.

“Am I? Of course! I am Zarsuelo.” Zarsuelo answered, now proud and not angry anymore.

If he is mad with something like this, I just need to compliment him as well. I just have to do what I am doing to calm Layzen down.

As I told you, he acts more like a child than Layzen.

“Aeron, ask your team to think of a reward. Tell me after and I will make sure to buy or give it to you guys,” Zarsuelo said to Aeron. “Wait-did I ask for it already? I did not rush you right?” He asked.

“No, Sir. We just prepared them already, so that if you ask about them, we can present it to you at anytime.” Aeron replied.

Zarsuelo smiled and clapped his hands. “I am so proud of you guys. You have never failed me once. I will make sure to give you incentives.” Zarsuelo added.

Hours had passed and I was now walking side-by-side with Zarsuelo. He is really persistent about seeing the babysitter we hired. Lyndon is out with his friends-in a computer shop, playing online games as usual. I should check on him later if he is still studying. If he isn’t, I’m going to whack his head.

I turned my head to Zarsuelo, who was walking happily while looking around.

“Are you okay walking from your company up to our house?” I asked him.

I never saw him riding in his car, except when he accompanied me to the hospital before. He is also walking when he is visiting us.
