Covid dreams ....
Multi millions in dollars were his pocket money in Swiss vaults .
Bitcoins were strewn in his online wallets .
His employees dealt with money similar to GDP s of several countries .
He woke up every day to an empire he had no knowledge of in its vastness .
Like God would to his universe .
But then he employed people to do it for him and he paid them well .
He lived well too .
After all why shouldnt he when it was he alone who made all this and more .
His financial aberrations were minor earthquakes in the Wall street .
Brokers in London and Japan watched him keenly to detect a frown in that smiling countenance for that would bring zillions if invested wisely but he was clever enough not to give away his thoughts .
His smile was more for those who couldnt decipher what he hid behind that gentle smile he was known for .
The grimaces never came out .
The frowns were only guessed by his faithful who would take the action needed to negate it , so the smile would be back and they were richly rewarded .
His way of living was never Bohemian .
His riches werent new for him to have such juvenile pleasures .
He was graceful ,tasteful, tactful ,and tenous in his tactics .
His teetotalism in public would fool most but for his faithful who knew he loved his costly single malts on the rocks or that he had a penchant for carribean Rum with tons of ice .
His love for ice was more public probably stemmed from having born and lived in hot humid places .
His water bottles were made of pure crystal and it was surprising they never broke after being in freezer for 5 minutes before it was taken to him .
The boss had his tastes .
It wasnt the best Michelin starred chefs for he could buy most off the shelf but it was nostalgia which prodded his minions to search small streets in small towns and pilfer the cooks there for fortunes to work under his empire.
Collecting his kind of chefs and cooking with them on off was his hobby and thier futures were assured .
Many had gone on to build franchises in different parts of world with his parting farewell packages.
He was decent on that .
Artists writers and singers were his other fads and they would go back with baubles from his prized collections when invited .
Not much was known on his tastes for women suffice to say it was never subterranean and for an eternal bachelor he was discrete .
He never bothered about his income taxes as he paid ten times what he was required to and more telling them go easy on those middle class tax payers stop harassing them for he was an Income tax Robin hood .
Countries waited to give him visas and citizenships but if he wanted that all he needed was to go to one his own islands in the pacific ocean , though one was occupied by a weird swami called Nityananda as he swam into it
He left him alone poor beggar hes more harmless now so let him have his fun he told his defense section when they wanted to delete him .
This was a frightful section which moved on its own to meet challenges to the boss physically or morally .
The underworld was careful to give him a wide berth and his select professionals hired from KGB CIA MOSSAD and RAW .
no ISI of course
He was patriotic there you see .
His days started early with deep sea diving off his beach home or wild life photography at dawn if was in his core forest home
When in any major city in the plush but unassuming penthouses he owned above 100 floors where he could step off his Augustus Westland helicopter fleets piloted by best amongst the retired IAF .
His Beechcraft or Pilatius fleets waited for his nod to fly intercontinental spewing thier jet fumes from capsules of ultimate luxury .
His cars need not be commented upon
Most were only one piece models of the most luxurious brands and thier moulds were broken after making for him if not he would just buy that company .
Arab shiekhs jostled each other to view his collections on rare invites.
He had the worlds best designers shoe makers on contract who would drop all jobs to fly in his jets to measure his needs .
And then came COVID !!!
He was fine he didnt get it.
But he woke up from his deep sleep to know it was the third lockdown and he had no job 🤣 for now !!!!
