“What have we done? What have we really done?” Leonard rubbed his hands together while Amanda paced in the office.“It’s not our fault, is it?” Amanda questioned.“Well, I was the front head.” He exhaled sharply. “I sold the hospital.” He was feeling guilty.“Right? So, it isn’t my fault.” Amanda tried to rattle out.“Amanda, we are in this together. You approved it.” He reminded her seriously.“It was agreed on, the majority carried the votes, mine didn’t count.” She batted her lashes before she sighed. “But, what’s happening here? Does this mean we can’t invest with him again or something?” She raised a brow, with anxiety lingering in her eyes.“Not that.” He began. “I think we have been added to the hospital’s black list.” He said abruptly.“That’s bad.” She groaned. “What about Richester? Have you seen or met with him?” She asked cryptically and he shook his head.“No one knows where he is since he came back from prison. We also don’t know if he was the one that claimed the hospit
Seven had updated Richester’s decision on various websites using the Winston's global connection. Richester was also preparing for his public appearance, he was getting ready mentally and physically because he couldn’t predict what was to come.He stepped out to the reception hall in Emerald Hotel to check out since he was done for the night. Because of the time his new Italian tailor took to measure his customized suit, he had to lodge at the hotel.Seven was checking out while he surfed through the internet.“I’m everywhere.” He mumbled on seeing the crisis going on, online. He was asked to stay out of social media thus the only way to get engaged was using Seven’s device.“Richester?” He turned gradually on hearing his name.Over the few weeks, he has been referred to as Master which made him a little bit anxious to see the person that called him his name without curtsy.“Zoey?” His lips pursed when he noticed that she was the one, his one time crush whom he pushed away.She had al
Madam Harriet angrily hit the report on her desk.“Just two days ago!” She barked.“There was nothing we could do, ma’am.” The team planning leader bowed his head. He was scared.Soon, Stella walked into her office and was welcomed by the mess.“Mum, what’s going on here?” Stella rolled her eyes at the man and back at the mother.“Ask these fools! Ask those publicity and finance teams what they did with my money!” Madam Harriet screamed at the top of her lungs.She was in rage and would tear anyone apart if need be.Stella picked up the file from the ground and glanced through it, as she read each line her eyes spread open in astonishment.“Mum - -, how come?” Stella narrowed her gaze to her mother.“Oh? You are just seeing it, huh?” She sneered at her face.“Immediately Rich Hospital was reopened, our stock depreciated.” She informed her in panic, biting her nails.“This is serious. I thought he would respect himself once he is out of jail.” Stella sighed heavily. “What should we do?
Lorenzo approached the emergency lobby in heavy steps, some patients were lying on the bed as nurses attended to them. Lorenzo hurried to his patient, surprisingly Stella and Eve were already there.“I got the emergency call.” Lorenzo scanned the entire ward and back at them. “Mrs. Stella, why are you here?” He wondered cryptically.“I also got the call.” She rolled her eyes.A loud voice attracted their attention and they turned backward.“I want to see the director or manager of this hospital! I want to see them! Those bastards!” A mature woman in her early fifties yelled as she approached them, anger enveloped her face and her eyes were filled with disdain.“Ma’am, calm down. What is it?” Eve tried to calm the woman down but the kind of pressure the woman had warranted her to give Eve a dirty slap.“Don’t ask me such nonsensical questions.” She spat in disgust as she got closer to them, and Eve held her cheek in shock.“Someone should video me so this will go viral.” She sighed he
Seven returned back to the mansion to prepare Raymond who was assigned to become Richester’s second personal assistant by his grandmother.“Where is he?” Seven asked one of the servants as soon as he entered the lobby.“He is still waiting in the guest room.” She replied.He strolled over to the guest room and opened after a short knock.“Boss!” Raymond sprang up from the bed, staring at the exit desperately before Seven walked in.“He isn’t here.” Seven said.“Why?” He swallowed hard. “Is he going to accept me again?” Raymond asked anxiously and Seven nodded.“Yes.” Seven walked over to the wall and pressed the calling intercom and a voice came out from it.“Let them in.” He commanded and soon the door opened.Some set of servants came in with a rolling closet and boxes, Raymond stared at them in bewilderment as he couldn’t understand what was happening.“You have thirty minutes to change and meet us at this address.” Seven instructed calmly before placing a business card on the tabl
Richester followed Seven’s lead into the hideous warehouse, it was a little bit dark aside from the burning woods that made the space bright.“He will be here shortly, master.” Seven informed him politely. “Raymond and I will be on standby.” Seven bowed and left the warehouse with Raymond who really had no idea of what was happening.Though Richester had appointed Seven to brief him of the ongoing matters and schedules.“You are here, sir.” The underground investigator came out from the dark place that was foggy because of the smoke made by the woods.Richester stepped backward stylishly. “You must be M, my old lady told me about you.” He tucked his hands into his trouser pocket.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Richester.” He grinned. “It’s been a while since I saw the heir of the Rich enterprises up close, you were three or there about.” The man laughed a belly laugh.“Can we go straight to the point?” He scoffed, rolling his eyes away from the man.“Madam Pia gave me the order to investigate
“Mr. Richester. I look forward to doing business with you.” Richester shook hands with his new India investor as they sealed the contract.He left the upper room and prepared to return back home since his schedule for the day was over.He was tired and stressed, he wanted to return home and dispatch all his thoughts in an available vase called a dream.Maybe not much but the fact that he saw his woman - his lover - with another man kept him on his heels. He would bear anyone but not overbearing Lorenzo who was all over the place.“Master, do you want anything for dinner so I can ask the kitchen to prepare it?” Seven asked as they entered the elevator.“Boss, how about I make a reservation at your favorite hotel? I heard your favorite meal is also trending on their menu.” Raymond suggested nervously.Inwardly, Richester knew he had two choices to make and rejecting one would make them feel bad. He wasn’t ready to start playing a hanky panky emotional game with them.“I will take care o
“Where is my mother?” Stella asked the servant that was in the living room.“She left a few minutes ago with some people.” The servant informed her politely.“Go ahead.” She waved at the servant and the servant bowed before leaving.For some reason, instead of walking freely in her mother’s house, Stella started leaping and walking suspiciously as she stepped into her mother’s room. Damien saw her as soon as he was coming out from their bedroom but he was in a business call that was why he didn’t follow or call her out.“It should be somewhere.” She bit her lips with her hand on her head as she started thinking wide. Then, her eyes drifted down to her mother’s stamp that was lying on the table - connected with a mirror.“Perfect.” She grinned happily as she shuffled through until she found an A4 paper, she used her mother’s pen and placed the clean sheet on the paper that had her mother’s handwriting.“Slow and steady - -” She mumbled as she carefully tried to fake her mother’s handwr
