Uno Mayhem Point of View

"Does awesomeness have a standard definition?" Turning to Buzz, I asked curiously.

Buzz looked around the meeting room, observed the members who were discussing until now came to a sudden silence.

It was then that he looked pleased and turned to me to answer me. "Of course, it does. You."

Now, that was pleasing!

"You don't say! Does smartness have a definite explanation?" With a pleased grin I asked again curiously.

"Boss, it's you!" Buzz nodded proudly as he glanced around the meeting hall trying to gather as much pleasant expressions as he could.

"In that case, what about charming? Does it have a clear classification?"

"Mr. Mayhem, it's you, obviously." This time, everyone in the meeting room answered in unison with one tone, one expression and one sense.

Mightily pleased by them, I nodded slightly to them, "Thank you for your trust in me but to be honest, I'm only best to a bit. I'm only slightly unsurpassed. There might be many who is better than me in our neighboring universes."

Although being humble, I still recognize their praises for me.

Why wouldn't I? I almost resolved the issue of my writer's block by simply spinning a story and asking them for ideas.

If this is not the quick-wittedness, then I don't know what is.

"I've noted down all the suggestions you have made. I will surely pass this note to my friend. I apologize to call you for a meeting for my own personal matters." I showcased the modesty in my behavior that I very rarely show to anyone.

I believe, when you have the stature to be arrogant, you don't have to fake modesty for yourself and others.

One of my mottos in my life is 'Confidence is my superpower and humility is my sidekick'.

"To thank you all, please accept my small love for you." I winked at Buzz who immediately ran out of the room and in a few seconds came inside with a huge bouquet of different fresh beautiful flowers.

I walked to each and every one of them and gave a flower each to showcase my small love for their help.

Some of them looked strangely at me, some of them smiled weirdly at me, some of them thanked me oddly, nevertheless, they took the flowers with open hands.

Exactly, this is how people should be.

Flowers... what are flowers?

They are petals of connections between people. Flowers are the origin, the most important and the most used ways to build association between people.

And I love my flowers!

"Mr. Mayhem, may we know what inspiration did you get from our discussion from earlier?" One of the directors asked with a jovial smile.

This director, Mr. Bane, is not a major stakeholder but his worth lies in work efficiency. He has always been a jovial person who is liked by the employees working under him.

I've had a simple chat with him a couple of times and this man, is a very casual and old-man-next-door kind of person.

He is also the only man who took my flower with a very grateful smile. It was then and there that I knew and decided 'this man is going to be my undie amigo for life'.

"If someone else asked me this, I would've asked them to wait for the novel to get published before I spoil it for them but you, Mr. Bane, is different. Alright, what I have in mind is –"

"Mr. Mayhem, why don't you ask your friend before you reveal further details of his book?" Ms. Alarming suddenly stopped me and gritted at me.

What? What happened now?

Why is she looking like a firefly suddenly?

"But –"

She cut me off again, this time with a smile that somehow did not feel like a smile. I wonder, she has such beautiful face and luscious lips, why should she mistreat them and give out such unpleasant smile.

That's an unjust to such excellent features like hers.

"What if you lose your friend for exposing the details of his upcoming book? I know Mr. Bane here is an understanding man and would not let you go through such bad stuff." She turned to Mr. Bane and gave him a real smile while she turned to me and gave me a mistreated-face smile.

Sometime, I don't understand Alarming at all.

She overthinks a little too much. I heard women usually overthink a lot and it is in then DNA to overthink but looking at Alarming, I think she has the DNA of two women inside her with how she overthinks all the time.

"I know he wouldn't –"

"Go and ask him. NOW!" Alarming really has the strength to make me pout sadly.

Looking at her fierce scowl, I could only nod and walk out to call my so-called friend. Before I shut the door behind me, I heard Alarming tell everyone that the meeting is suspended and the details shall be emailed to them after there are sorted in an organized manner.

I walked into my own private office that Alarming has provided me with in Allard building. Buzz and Alarming along with Asmund followed into my office room.

The atmosphere suddenly turned humid and I could feel blazing arrows of lava from a female source.

"'I have a friend... Ellure Ballard, Kuno Maystem – What a smart man you are." I wasn't expecting such open praises from her.

Alarming has always been a talk-less-do-more kind of a person. Now hearing such compliments from her mouth, it feels like my saddened soul came out of my body and transmigrated back into my own body with lots of happiness added.

"I know you would be amazed by my trade secret, Ms. Alarming. Actually, this particular idea should only be implemented when you –"

"Shut up, you fool!" She shouted.

SHUT

UP

YOU

FOOL?

Did she just; did she, with her beautiful juicy lips, asked me to shut my smart mouth and called me a fool?

Did she –

How can she?

How can she say something so heartless and ruthless to me?

"What are you looking at me like that? You fool, you think no one would know what is happening just because you add 'I have a friend' after every word, they would believe you? Even a baby still inside the womb would not believe you. You foolishly let out all the confidential details of the project to them. What if any of them is linked to SkyGod team? What if the details you leaked are used in a wrong way by them?"

She is underestimating me!

Mine was a clever idea to begin with!

"We signed a non-disclosure contract. I've been telling you about not disclosing any of the details directly or indirectly to anyone other than me and the team. Mr. Mayhem, have you taken my words for a sneeze?"

"It's not that-"

"Oh, it is! It has to do with the wellbeing of the world. What if there really is a SkyGod person among us and they use your ideas to create something destructive and horrible? Are you going to take responsibility for all the disaster that has happened?" Ah, seems like she is a little angry.

She seriously thought so low of me!

Such beautiful face is scowling at me and thought extremely bad of me and that unsettling feeling is killing me from inside.

"Ms. Allard, even though they know a few details, they cannot use it at all." Thank you, my lovely short Buzz.

"Do you take people for stupid like your boss?"

"No, Ms. Allard. They cannot use it because whatever boss said in meeting room is false."

"Obviously it is false. There is no friend who is writing a book." Alarming, you still too naïve to think that I would just tell the confidential matter to others.

You are too innocent for the world.

You are too kind and pure of a businesswoman.

"Not just that. Everything about the project he said was nothing but an empty fudge with no flavor." The anger on Alarming was slowly changing into that of a confusion and disbelief.

"I can tell whatever he talked about is what is going on in the project." Alarming said defensively.

Buzz and I looked at each other and sighed amusedly. Both of us found Alarming so cute that pretty sure cute is defined from her.

"It is indeed. Whatever he spoke about in the meeting hall is exactly what he told you about the project."

"But –"

"But what he told you not the real project." Exactly.

Someone as smart, clever and amazing like me will not just talk about my projects to just anyone.

"What do you mean?" Alarming asked in a confused meek tone.

"It means, even you don't know the details of the real project. Whatever he told you until now is all dummy information." Exactly.

"Huh?"

"Ms. Allard, just think, you know the condition he has; with his condition of passwords, do you think he will ever let any information slip his mouth?"

Right!

"All this time, while he is working on the real project secretly, he is also working on a fake one to put on appearance. He cannot reveal even the heading of his thesis without getting a right password, so to compensate and balance the disorder he has, he is doing a fake project that he can share details about while the project you partnered with him is done by him secretly and all details of it is only known by him and him alone."

Exactly!

See, am I not smart?

"If you want to know about it, you have to tell the right password to open the folder inside my mind. The friendly clue is – the password has something to do with you."

With a generous heart, I gave her a discount and helped her with a clue.

And I waited for her to raise her head and look at me with profound light and delight at me.

I waited for her to give me the gaze of a crazy fan.

I waited for her to look at me with immense pride and joy.

And I waited but what I got was –

A kick on my leg and an angry growl before she rushed away in fury.

Heh! Women...
