"Hmph!"
A new clothe design drawn over a big canvas. Somehow Ark's greatest talent is this.
"Hm? So after playing in my laboratory, you get these ideas?" His dad said entering the room.
"I was not playing there."
Ark's room is what someone can imagine to be a spoiled-rich child's room. Except, it's filled with creative art works and origami. More than 5 lights to make no shadow while the bright colors on wall keep the vibe moody.
"All I could see there was a rubble of iron scraps. I remember teaching you how to handle those things because I myself too learned that at a very young age. I still want you to be careful enough."
"You've got camera there. I didn't do much."
"Fair point. What is this by the way?"
Aeshro leaned down a bit and closed the distance to canvas. "Can't beleive it is made by a kid." He stared at the half-done design for few more seconds and straightened.
"Weren't you yourself worked with uncles in your childhood?"
"Are you talking about World War 2? Well not necessarily in a way you think. Magentania people has always been somewhat royal even if we didn't earn that much money because of all sorts of connections. Sigh.... who even am I telling too? Heh."
He thinks I won't get it? Well I didn't get it.
"Keep it up boy. My side business needs your new design this month as well~" and he left.
Seriously? It's just gibberish. I guess it's a different kind of art then.
Cia's birthday is on edge right? I guess that thing in laboratory is my gift then. Let's see what she will think. Maybe just give me another task. And oh I almost forgot but the date for her father and my father's meeting is close. Dad said it's going to be really helpful.
"HEY ARKKKK!" A scream came from outside.
What the hell? "Coming dad!"
He came out of the house and saw a familiar thing in front of his eyes. Eh? A car? Isn't that Cia's father's? And why is it so distorted?
"Come here, take a look." His dad said and he came near. What is this?
Andre came after the car is delivered. Maybe after 5 minutes, In the meantime the father-son duo was analysing the car outside the maingate.
"Oh hello sir." Andre said after looking at them. Aeshro look up from his place and stood up. "Mr. Andre. I did thought you might be a grounded person." Dad is again trying to use words in his way huh?
"Hm? Yeah sure. Mr. Aeshro." They shook hands. "It's nice here. And oh this car here is these kids stuff. You know our children are in same class and do god knows what."
"Yeah I can see now." Aeshro looked back to Antonio. He nodded and pulled the car inside the garage.
"My daughter said you know what to do."
"That's simply an order uncle. Hey dad, I'll need your help again." Ark looked up to his dad, he just nodded and sent jhim inside the house for now.
"Kids these days are quite curious about things."
"Yes. They are."
"Maybe, not like us."
Aeshro said in a light tone. Andre looked at him and just laghed a bit.
"Let's go inside and have our meeting start."
_________
Andre and Aeshro are sitting in front of each other at the guest room in the back. The room is spacious enough.
"So-"
"Hey uncle- oh a meeting is going on?"
"Yes dear. See Antonio, if need anything."
The girl, Aoron R. Magentania is still staying here. She escaped the room.
"So. Mr Andre." Aeshro crossed his legs. "Is there anything regarding contract? Our kids are the reason we are sitting here together."
"Indeed. Cia told me about Sir Aeshro's contract thing and got me in contact with you by Ark. It feels a little weird to think now. All I can say is a Thanks." Andre leaned forward a bit as if showing some gratitude. "Oh please."
"The pre-order contract you provided help me in my few personal things. And so I'm willing to have you decide the timeframe for our contract." Yes. Because of Sir Aeshro, I've got my car papers signed. Pretty good.
"I see. No problem Mr. Andre." Personal things? Must beabout his business. A person with this amount of money is rare in Hargena. I wanted to find a stakeholder from my origin place. Didn't knew this can become this big.
"I think as a proof of new friendship that is going to grow over the years, I can atleast keep it for 20 years. You are still free to withdraw with reasons."
"That's generous. It's a little confusing to me now, those papers from earlier said lifetime?"
"Oh that? It's kind of like a ticket. We are open to extend that 20 year time anytime for you. But have you checked our comapnt details?" A wise investor never forgets that.
"Hm? Yeah. You have some variety of taste in business Mr. Aeshro. Car parts, specific medicine production, fast food shops and cloth fashion. There are so many of them with clear success. I myself bought few clothes from your brand without knowing."
"Oh? That's good to hear. How was your experience?"
"No need to talk about fabric. And design were fabulous." Yes! I used this fabulous word. Cia said to me to use this one once in the meeting. Will it work?
"Thank you so much." He just smiled.
Clap Clap!
As Aeshro clapped his hands, a servant came in with a file. He placed them on thetable and left.
Aeshro opened it and showed it Andre.
"Here , as you can see, almost all the business titles under us became successful in a very short time. And still growing in all of the northern hemisphere."
"Yes I can see the dates. It's amazing to know that the company I'm investing in is this good and you are allowing this as well."
Andre said it and fell in his own thoughts.
Why are you showing me all this huh? Formalities? Hell no. Is he trying to trade this information with mine? Like my source of income or something? Then I guess I can say I'm a market trader? I did trade gold and stuff?
"I've no problem with anything. And I think I need to mention it here. I'm a resouce investor." I don't know what is that but ok. Maybe I'm being too careless. But I've seen in movies as well as during childhood, when it comes to money, everything else is ok.
"It's great to know!" Aeshro looked happy. "Then should I consider it done?"
He turned few pages away and showed a certificate and a official contract paper to sign on.
"I see." Andre signed them. As he was signing, another weird thought came to him.
I'm signning ok? But these sign came in work few months ago, I hope banks have no problem with me signing here with this.
"Ok. This makes us in good long going relationship."
"Of course."
They shook hands again while standing. Andre is still confused if it's a import formality to shake hands.
They came out of the room chatting. The environment is lighter now. And Andre is happy too. With this done he has gotten some pressure and backing of Magentania name. A total amount of 100 shells is transferred. But Andre looked ok.
Heh. My ex-boss is just slightly more richer than me. Ok he's a lot more rich. But with my own money I can easily start my own agency. Wait.... shouldn't I start something? I'll think about this later.
"Shells are a crypto currency and the contract is of stocks. So all this matter will come under WEA. No need to worry about that."
Heh this dude think he is reading my mind. Cough Cough.... I'm becoming a little hasty.
"Anyways. Later Mr. Aeshro." As they came out, they shook hands one more time. It was Andre who took initiative.
I think this wasn't necessary? Oh well. Cia is going to be embarrassed after hearing this.
"Later Mr. Andre." Aeshro waved his hand a bit as he saw Andre walking a bit and then stopping a taxi then going in it.
Eh? Yeah a very grounded person.
