Chapter 16 - Someone Important To Do!

Richard

It has been just over a month. For the whole month, I had been in India, trying to crack the deal with BigStar. And finally three days ago we closed the deal.

Like we had decided, we had to set up a demo live stream for them, for the Indian cricket series. The demo worked flawlessly. No interruptions, no data loss, no bugs and the best stream quality they had ever seen. And it wasn't even 4k. Their app and website wasn't wired for 4k, not until they gave that job to us as well.

Immediately after the demo match stream ended with two million viewers on the app and website enjoying the stream uninterrupted with amazing full HD picture, I was rushed into an impromptu meeting with the CEO of BigStar. The meeting went so well, that the CEO arranged for another meeting with their board the very next day.

The board unanimously agreed to upgrade their platform with our algorithm. They tried to put a non-compete clause in the agreement, but I and my legal team strongly refused. In the end they wanted their platform upgraded with our algorithm way more than other streaming business not having our algorithm. So they caved. After that, the lawyers and Jared took over, getting the best deal possible.

Though usually a deal of this scale would take month's to finalize, but they were working on a strict time table. They had only a few months before the biggest event of the year for them started. Namely the latest season of Indian Cricket League. They wanted to cash in on the event bigtime and also attract more subscribers before the completion from Netflix, Amazon and other local streaming services became even stronger.

So they fast-tracked the deal and just three days ago we signed the deal. Now Pied Piper walked away with 115 million dollar contract in terms of yearly fees for the privilege of using algorithm in their live streaming. The contract was for 5 years after which it would be renegotiated. They also agreed to play another 50 million to convert, compress and upgrade their current library of shows, movies and other content with our algorithm.

When I gave the news over video chat, to the people in the office, well let's just say, I had gone partially deaf for a few minutes because of their expressions of Joy. Monica had the biggest smile on her face but that was because she already knew beforehand, before I told everyone the news.

She was the one I had called first after all.

Ahh… Monica. I really did miss her for the whole month. I never thought I would pull a Dinesh and invent video chat just so that I can talk to a girl on a video call with better picture quality.

But I did, and it wasn't even that hard, as most of the work on the platform to make it possible had already been done. I had thrown together the video chat within a week. Though I had to work 20 hours days coding to make that happen.

The reason for that was quite simple, I had blue balls and I had the sudden urge to have FaceTime Sex but not on FaceTime, but rather on Piper Chat. At least, that was what I had planned to call it initially.

Anyways I succeeded, and the first-ever, non-testing, proper Vid-Call on my platform was having Vid-Sex with my girlfriend.

"Hey, Richard you look zoned out. Well…. I can understand. The new office looks amazing to me too.", Jared told me as both of us were standing outside of our new office. It was the same office that, Pied Piper had in the sixth season. Yes, everyone had moved into the new office, while me, Dinesh and Jared were in India. I had left Monica in charge and she had done a good job while I was gone.

We had moved into the new office, from what Monica had told me, we had hired a good lot more people when it looked like deal with BigStar was a Done-Deal. She had hired and filled a number of departments in my absence, which I neither had the foresight, inclination or interest in doing.

This included Media Management, HR, IT-Support, amongst others.

Monica….Over the month that we were away from each other…. Well, I had a little voice in my mind before I left for India saying that, long-distance might create problems between us. But over the month, I think our relationship had just strengthened.

"Richard?!", Jared asked shaking my shoulder.

"Yeah sorry, let go inside and see our offices.", I said and we both proceeded inside. After going through, vigorous security checks, we swiped our new key cards to enter the main office and were blasted in the face with blazing party music. They were playing 'We will rock you' as our entrance music. I kind of liked that.

The moment we entered a loud cheer went around the office, seeing us. Suddenly I was surrounded by dozens of employees shaking my hand, patting me on the back, some of them snuck pat's on the ass and some even hugged me. Same words were on everyone's lips – 'Congrat's man!' 'Good work boss' 'You did it'.

Throughout it all, I just smiled and shook hands and nodded my head. But the only thing I wanted to do was go find her. Look for her. Pull her to me and…. There she was.

Just standing a little ways away, arms folded and with a smile on her face and a body language that said that she wanted to jump me as well but was restraining herself as to not interrupt my moment of triumph. I didn't care a bloody hairy fuck about it, because as soon as I spotted her I was moving towards her with increasing speed and before I knew I was running. I reach her, swept her off her feet, and gave her a such a passionate searing kiss that communicated my elation, joy, need and desire at seeing her in person after a month.

Her reciprocating kiss and its ferocity, it seems, conveyed the same thing, and if we didn't have to breathe we wouldn't have stopped kissing.

And if our higher-order cognitive functioning hadn't kicked in we would have fallen to our baser instincts and had gone at it right on the floor in the middle of the office with everyone watching. By the hooting and catcalls of everyone in the office, they came to the same conclusion.

"Hey."

"Hey."

Two words were said. And it seemed to communicate it all. Fuck I have really fallen for this girl. When I came to this world,… Yes I wanted to have sex with her…. She was the hottest girl on the show… but I never thought I would fall for her so hard. There go all my dreams for being a billionaire playboy like Tony Stark.

But I don't think I regret it for a second when I am holding her in my arms.

Fuck me I have become really sappy going without sex for a month. This needs to be remedied quickly.

"Um, you want to get ou…." "Oh, god yes."

Before everyone's eyes, we turned around and left out of the same door I came in.

Oh well, I could start working from tomorrow and there will be other parties. Right now I have someone very important to do. ;-)
