Problems Rising

" OK very good, now comes the next step. It's time to think about ads, promotions and commercials. No product will work in India without that", I said while looking at the board of members in the meeting room in the office.

After enjoying the week with the girls I called Natasha and Maya and asked then to come here. They also haven't met me in a long time so they agreed easily but didn't tell me the time they would come. I agreed easily as I was missing them too. Other than that I joined the office and was planning for the next step of the plan.

" Does anyone have any plans about the next commercial or some advice for how the next commercial should be. That one we used in the launch event didn't look like an audience gathering one", I said looking around the room at several people sitting in front of me.

" Sir, we could contract some famous celebrity and make a jingle with them dancing on screen. An easy and effective one", a mid 40 something man said.

" Too stereotypical, you can go out", I said straight.

" Wh... what... why sir, did I do something wrong", he asked with a stutter.

" No it's just... your ideas will not make it, you're unable to understand my mindset even after working for so long. You can go out. Don't fire him or deduct his payment just don't let him join the meeting from now on. Don't take it otherwise, I'm just too serious with whatever I do", I said while waving my hand simply. It was too hard on him but it's been a while since he's been like this, his ideas were also ridiculous many a times.

Everybody knew I was an easy to go boss but was very stiff with my decisions i.e. no returning back after I took some decision so the middle aged man simply stood up with a sad face and left with a depressed face.

" Don't get distracted, let's continue the meeting", I was standing behind my chair at the forefront of everyone where a chairman should be. My elbows were resting on the head of the chair and I was acting simple with a relaxed face like it was not an important meeting but something too casual.

Still, everyone knew that if I was not joking then even with my relaxed face, the atmosphere would be tense as the conversation would be serious.

" Umm... sir, don't mind my words but I saw your post last week. That photo of yours shocked the internet as the follower numbers of your soared just with that one single photo. The numbers of female fans were even greater. So..... we can use that as publicity and... I believe you can work as the actor in our advertisement. It's just an advice so please don't take it to heart...", a man around mid thirties said being slightly courageous.

" Haha.... don't worry Mr. Jhakas I'm not gonna be angry or something like that..", I said laughing lightly.

" It's Prabhas sir", he said being embarassed from me calling him Jhakas.

[ a/n - Jhakas means awesome/cool or something like that in hindi ]

" OK-OK Akash, same-same different-different, let's not stray away from the topic. Yeah.... so I was gonna say, I knew this will be coming so I would like to suggest one thing if nobody's gonna introduce something better. I'll be the actor or promoter or anything and everything like that but we definitely need some popular face like that so firstly we would need to arrange for that now.... if somebody wants to say something they can continue forward", I said while turning back the chair and sitting on it while keeping my elbows on the table and resting my face on my hand while looking at all of them interestingly.

" Sir you see.... we know at present your reputation is on a rise and your popularity with the products sales as well as your ideology and with your life on the internet it is soaring at a high pace but with it there might come some time when it might backfire you. Your enemies or jealous people will make use of such situations and might use it against you. What will we do at that time. This branding scheme will then definitely backfire us. You being the face of the company if face difficulties then that would definitely cause a great damage to company's reputation", the girl whom I flirted before taking the leave off company said with a serious thoughtful expression. She was one of the best minds under me and was a great help at times.

" Uhmm..(clearing the throat) what you said is correct well... I can't deny the fact that what I'm presently doing is something that my enemies might misuse but one thing you all always forgot to look at is..... ("Youth" ×20 employees together)", I've mocked them many times with underestimating the youth support I was making for myself and thus almost all of them shouted in unison.

Many a times the situation arose where they gave comments for specific situations without keeping the young population in consideration while I've mocked them many times that the current age was developing to an age of youth where mature would only be present to be fed. Thus, youth support was the biggest thing I had and being an internet sensation I could do that part easily and perfectly.

I just had to post a bit of beautiful or sexy photos from here and there and act all good while meeting them and then the whole youth would support me like a God.

" Yes... just like everybody said, youth. I've told you all many times not to underestimate the young power in this age of internet. So... don't worry about my image, my fans will support me and the enemy's plans will backfire them. Plus, with me acting in the commercial we would not need to worry about the actor's fees Or anything. Also, we can choose a better female partner I.... I mean actor for the commercial. We would also not need to licence or have the actor's contract. So..... anymore comments??", I said looking around.

....

....

The meeting ended after another hour long talk and at last it was decided that I would be the male lead while some female lead would be chosen to play as my partner in the commercial.

••••••••••••••••••••

" I'm gonna be an actor now", I said with a haughty grin looking at the sitting Zara and Veronica in my office.

" Hmm... how so.. wait a minute, don't tell me you'll be the one in the commercial", Zara said with a slightly shocked face.

" Got`cha, I'm the male lead", I said with a beaming smile.

" Ugh...(rubbing her temple), you know the future of the company also depends on the popularity of the ambassador. How are you so careless", Zara said with worry written all over her face.

" Don't worry.... (pating her shoulder) you know I never act careless, just believe in me Or do I have to put some mind in you.... (closing the distance between us)", I said with a reassuring smile.

" OK, do whatever you want, anyways I don't have a say in the decision of the boss. I have some work to do so please give me space. I can't waste my time like you...", Zara said pushing me lightly.

" My dear Veronica.....", I said lovingly while jumping towards Veronica.

" I have work to do, annoy someone else", she said without turning her eyes from the computer in front.

" You two are really no fun", I said and went outside to catch up to someone else.

At that time most of my works were already overtaken by Zara so I was really carefree. Teaching her almost all of business was a hard call to be completed in a year but with her sharp mind and my capabilities she had become a true top tier businesswoman. So, my vote Or my presence was only needed during some super important and sensitive meetings.

Like that I went out of the cabin and jumped towards Sumit's cabin on my side.

" What are you doing my dear brother friend Sumit", I looked at Sumit's computer in which he was typing something and asked.

" Metting's over??", he asked me straight to the point.

" Yes! guess who's the ambassador??", I said with an amusing smile.

" It's you, isn't it??", Sumit said with an inquiring gaze.

" How do you know??", I knew he could easily guess from the way I was talking but still I acted of being shocked.

" I just had a hunch and you should not act as if you're shocked, you know it's easy to guess with the way you came with a beaming smile on your face", Sumit said with a lost smile.

" You won't scold me this time like always big brother Sumit", I said with expectant eyes.

" I'm too tired of always losing about your strange decisions. I believe this will work like your decisions always do", Sumit said again with that lost smile.

" Why are you acting so depressed, you are also benefitting with your losing right?? Afterall you also have 2% stakes in it", I said with my hands at my waist.

" It's.... stop acting like a teenager, stand straight with dignity and act like a mature person. You're the boss of the fourth fastest unicorn in the world, the fastest developing one in the country so act like such. This.... this is not a personality of one such boss. If you can't be like that then be the dignified cold boss type as they say in the novel....", I cut his words in the middle.

" OK OK I understand. Anyways, I'm a teenager too so why can't I act like that at times. Being cold and bossy all the times is boring. Being fun and exciting is better and gathers more fans. You act like an uncle if you want. I'm going out you're very boring, byye uncle", I said and ran out waving my hand to Sumit.

" You.....", he was always annoyed at me calling him uncle.

•••••••••••••••••

" I'm going back home, I don't have much work to do anyways", I informed Zara and came out of the office.

" OK.... now let's move...", taking a deep breath I started dragon and went outside in between the mob of reporters trying to interview me. I had just joined the office a couple of days ago and they waited each day to have me say some simple words.

That launch event and then the video with Sania went viral on the internet and just like that my Instagram followers count reached around a million and I have just posted a single photo of mine, that too where more focus was on my chiseled athletic physique than my handsome face(being narcissistic is also a talent(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)).

A lot of hate also came as some feminists started despising me, saying several curses as well as some of their morales being too high for me to judge. Still, the amount of followers kept increasing, most of them being girls and the hashtag #Seraglio and #SeraglioChief were doing wonders on Twitter.

'I've been trying to hide from them for these past days but let's face them, I can't live in hiding like this always', I thought and came out of the parking lot.

I stopped bike right in between the mob of reporters ready to record every single word of mine.

" Sir sir.." sir.." " sir.. bla.. bla.." " sir.. blablabla.."

" STOP!! one question each and one by one starting from you...", I shouted as I was unable to understand a single word other than sir.

The reporter that I pointed out came in front with a beaming smile,

" Ritik, what would you like to say about your controversial video with the famous gaming streamer Sania", he asked being straight as he knew he only got a single chance to build some controversy.

" Sania will answer this in some days. Next..", I said with a straight face.

" But Ritik...

" If he asks anymore question then I'll ride this dragon of mine all over your bodies right here and go away. So if you want to ask questions then do it one by one and a single question everytime", I said taking the mike from the same reporter's hand.

All other reporters moved the reporter away and started to ask me one by one.

" Ritik, what would you like to say about the accusation of you being against women empowerment"

" Actually you see... at present my girls are not too sure of declaring their relationship with me so when they'll do so then you all will understand how much of a women suppressor I am. NEXT... zup*", I said and finding a short gap between the reporters I quickly took the chance and rode out of the mob of reporters.

" See you all next time(showing middle finger)", I said while looking back after coming out of the mob of reporters.

I then went away while riding the bike....

piu* piu* piu*

" Arghhh... shittt... ugghhh...", a bullet came and got embedded on my shoulder while some more shots hit the bike.

" Fuxk, what's this... shiiit a bullet", I touched my wounded shoulder and understood what it was in a second. Quickly pulling my ear sneakily to slow down the time to 0.4× while biting my lips in pain I fastened the bike to slightly around 150 kmph i.e. around 67kmph in normal. I saw two bikers following me from behind but the slight traffic was affecting them.

Being fast while having the traffic around me move slower I somehow quickly cleared the road and came out.

Still riding the bike while some distance was created between the dark helmeted bikers behind me, I tried my best to control the bike even after having my shoulder being injured by the bullet.
