Chapter 21 On pulling up before the building which the meeting was getting held in, Richardson felt extremely gobsmacked. The building was so tall, Richardson was sure it was over fifty floors in total, and as he exited his car and pocketed his keys, a nervous feeling engulfed him.Tom led the way into the building, past a bunch of security men who bowed in respect on sighting Richardson, who was trying to hide how nervous he was by pocketing his hands.On the elevator which was taking them to the highest floor of the building, Tom explained to Richardson about how he shouldn’t let whatever is said to him in the meeting get to him.At this point, Richardson just wanted to attend the meeting so it could be done and over with already.The elevator finally stopped and Tom had to input a code, which he informed Richardson was an exclusive code needed to access this floor of the building.The code gets changed daily, in order to ensure the tightest security ever. Richardson was wowe

“That was really something.” Richardson murmured after some time, being the first one to break the silence. Tom shrugged his shoulders a little. “Could have been worse, to be very honest. I believe most of them just held back because of your grandfather’s presence.”“Great. Just great.” Richardson muttered with a long sigh, reminding himself to steer completely away from that side of his family until when completely necessary.Tom was once again scrolling through his list on his phone, looking through Richardson’s schedule.“The meeting with the lawyers is next.” Tom announced after a few seconds.——— After a few more hours, Richardson was finally done with his schedule for today. He bid Tom off and decided to drive around the city on his own, in a bid to clear his head.The song playing from the radio was a really horrible hip hop which he switched for a cool melodic RnB song, and then he lost himself to the song and the early evening breeze.He decided to stop for a refi

“Why do you have to always be rude to me?” Richardson demanded into the phone in a low voice.Mr Landlord, Mr Morris, spluttered once again. Mr Morris had always known Richardson to be pathetically poor. He’s always owing his rent before he’d finally pay everything completely.Mr Morris was confused and taken aback by Richardson’s weird attitude. He’d have normally already began to plead for more time to gather money for his rent.No matter how much Mr Morris mock and walk over him, Richardson never complained, he took everything quietly, which made it turn into a habit.Which is why Mr Morris is currently confused, because he had been expecting Richardson to instantly began to plead for more time, and not Richardson talking to him this way.Which made him become furious.“What do you mean by that stupid question?” Mr Morris demanded. Richardson’s scoff was loud in his ear, which made him more shocked.“I meant what I had asked. Why do you have to always be rude to me? You’ve

Mr Morris' heart skipped a few beats while his eyes widened in shock.He tried to mask his facial expression instantly, but wasn’t fast enough, and a bigger smirk tugged at Richardson’s lips knowingly.“I- how did-” Mr Morris spluttered, stumbling over his words.He had been thoroughly shocked just now after Richardson had referred to him with a name which he hadn’t heard in years. A name which he had desperately tried to bury.“You’re not saying a thing.” Richardson pointed out.Mr Morris spluttered once again, not knowing what to think.Richardson barked out a mocking laugh after that. “Who knew you could ever be quiet? Huh?” Mr Morris shifted his weight from foot to foot while clearing his throat. “You should get y- your things and l- leave. Don’t b- bother to beg for an extension of t- the deadline, just take your stuff and g- go.”Richardson snorted as he folded his hands. “Hold on, dear landlord. There’s no need for us to rush things now, is there?”“I have better things to do

Richardson was busy going through some files in his newly assigned office. The office wasn’t permanent, because as the head of the empire, he can automatically get access to every office and spot, so far the said company was affiliated with his empire.Some of the files records were not adding up, leaving Richardson confused.He had been in this office for over one hour, and had been going through the finance records receipts, and the more he observed, the more some things just doesn’t rhyme together.Richardson was busy wracking his brain and trying to figure out where the problem is from, when his phone began to ring. He answered the call because it kept ringing as soon as the first call stopped.“Hello, can I help you, please?” He said into the phone.“Hello, Mr Wilson. This is Doctor Romeo, the doctor the patient you brought into the clinic two days ago was placed under.” The voice said into the phone and recognized instantly dawned on Richardson.“You dropped your number and re
