I didn’t have chance to talk to Le Supervisor from the morning due to tight schedule of lab. I got informed by our secretary that he is not in a good mood today. He has scolded 2 staffs and 3 students since the morning πππππ. Wow, so scary… π±
It was almost lunch time, I quietly sneak into our office. I saw him working on the desktop looking very serious.
I braved myself: “Are you… okay… today….?” *After calculated the risk to interrupt a mad boss, I even prepared myself to die π*
With serious voice π±, he answered: “No, I’m not okay! I have….. *complaining about his problems*….. I feel cold…”
“Oh…”, I walked to turn on the heater for him, “How about now? 24β ok for you?”, I was worried.
He didn’t respond to my question: “…..*keep complaining*…. *cough cough cough*…..”
I quietly picked up his mug, walked to the pantry to fill it up with warm water and handed back to him π΅, “Here. Please be careful, it might be a little hot.”
He took a deep breath and took a sip: “Oh, Angelyn~ This is not even warm, but thank you. *start smiling*”, phew… almost there. π
He continued: “Do you know *content is muted to conserve the privacy of the privy*…. I have headache….”
I opened the window for better ventilation. πππ
Me: “Oh, poor you… Is there anything else I can do to make you feel better? Would you have some ice-creams for me? (β¬ I’m impressed by my art of speaking π)”
He felt my worry and got a little relaxed: “Ya, I can have ice-cream later maybe. Give me 1 million USD and I will be happy. π”
The “rich*” me: “Ok, I’ll write you a cheque. Please cash it 50 years later. I probably will have that by then, or I die. Haha!”
“Oh, please don’t die before I cash the cheque.” *sunny smile* π
He was cheered so I left for lunch and came back with a bag in my hands. π
Le Supervisor was still not looking good. π£ I can see a black cloud on his head ββ‘β‘β‘
I walked quietly to his side without saying a word, and slowly opened the bag as if I have a secret to show. π He got so curious and have a peek inside *instant beam on his face π*.
I lowered my voice: “These are all for you, shhhhh… Don’t tell anyone…”
“Hey, hey, no nee…..”, I didn’t let him finish before dashing to the fridge. π To avoid others from noticing, I did the whole thing in a flash and came back to our room like a thief. π
“I have them all in the fridge now, please have it whenever you want. π”
Le Supervisor was having a big smile on his face (Yayhay, mission accomplished! β): “Angelyn, that’s not enough. I want 1 million USD!!! π”
I replied with a smile: “I know, I told you that one you’ll get in 50 years. Now I’m paying you the interest. Please accept them. π”
He got cheered: “Angelyn, thank you very much.” π
“You’re welcome. Please try and tell me which one you like the most. They’re all yours now. π”
He was so excited: “Oh, there are many types? All for me???” He jumped from his chair and rushed to the fridge, while I left for the lab. “Enjoy! π”, knowing that he is fine now, I can get back on my work. π
When I settled my experiment and came back, he was holding a cover of an ice-cream (Yes, I bought him ice-creamssssss π): “I had this! It was good! Thank you~~~~ π”
Oh, I’m glad. Now you are happy, and I’m happy. π
Endnote: A problem that can be solved with an ice-cream, is not a real problem. π Now I’ve manage the secret to comfort my boss. Shhhhhhh… don’t tell anyone. π
*my definition on rich:
You are rich when you are content and happy with what you have. π OMG, I’m so RICH!!! Extremely rich!!!! In the heart…. with 1000 yen in my pocket… Please don’t rob me. Β π
