The Scandalous Billionaires Collection
deal with this morning? There are companies
with very conservative values who are threatening to take their
business elsewhere."
    "Social media companies? Don't make me laugh.
Half their traffic comes from people sex-stalking each other
on-line so don't talk to me about moral values. And besides, no-one
else does what we do. They can complain all they want but they need
our software or they'll be dead in the water. So relax little
brother. I'm fixing the channel five thing. I'm on my way there
now."
    "Do you remember what I told you? I'm
serious. I'll start taking steps to have control of the company put
into my name until such time as--"
    "You told me if I slept with my therapist you
would do that, not if I helped a reporter out of her wet
underwear."
    "Stop there. I do not want to hear any
details."
    "It's not what you think it is. She was on
the way to the powder room when--"
    "I'll hang up."
    "Okay, okay, but it really isn't what you
think it is and I'm calling you for a reason. I need your
help."
    "Oh come on Jason. Since when do you need
anyone's help. You haven't needed my help since the day you were
born."
    "Well I need it now."
    Zach was uncharacteristically silenced. This
was a strategy that Jason had never used on him before. In fact
Jason Demovic asking for anyone's help was absolutely unheard of.
With his genius level IQ he had always been able to figure things
out for himself, even as a small child and it was one of the
reasons he was so intolerably arrogant. Jason helped other people
but nobody was ever allowed to help him.
    "What is this Jason? What's going on? Are you
okay?"
    "No. I'm not okay, not at all."
    Zach took a nervous breath in.
    "I'm listening." He said. If asking for help
wasn't Jason's thing then listening had to be Zach's weak point,
but for his big brother in crisis he was willing to give it a
shot.
    "I told you my problem had a sexual component
right?"
    "I'm not listening anymore. Did you hear me?
This is for your shrink, not for me."
    "You threaten to take away control of the
company I built from the ashes of our father's ruinous behavior
because I might sleep with an attractive woman, but then you won't
even listen to me when I ask you for help with the single biggest
problem I've ever had in my life? Do you even want me to get
better?"
    Zach was struggling. He had the same
impassive mien as his older brother but inside he was in turmoil.
He did want to help, but talking sex problems with his older
brother was going above and beyond.
    "What is it?" He said with a deep sigh. "Some
kind of… some kind of premature--"
    Jason let out a burst of laughter.
    "Zach, for Christ's sake, stick to coding
little brother and forget the psychoanalyzing. It's nothing like
that."
    "Is it erectile--"
    "No! Stop it. You don't need to know. But I
do need your assistance with something else. Something you're
actually good at. Now are you going to help me or not?"
    "Of course I am big brother. Are you kidding
me?" He was relieved. "I've been looking for a way to help you all
my life. If this thing finally gives me a chance to do this then
it'll be a blessing in disguise."
    "I knew I could count on you Zach. And you're
the only person I really trust, except for mom and Harrison is on
his own little trip, but believe me she can't help me out on this
one."
    "Come on then. Get to the point. I've got
people to meet. What is it I can do for you?"
    "I need you to help me with this
therapist."
    "What does that mean?"
    "She's getting to me."
    "And what does that mean?"
    "I'll admit to you that I chose her because I
thought she would cave into a deal with me about signing off on
therapy sessions but I'm beginning to see that you've been right
all along about this. I do need help."
    There was a gasp from the other end of the
line.
    "Are you okay?" Jason said.
    "I don't know. Jason Demovic just admitted to
maybe, possibly being wrong for once in his arrogant life. I have
to confess that I'm impressed Jason, really impressed,
