His Redemption

Annoyed

One month later

"I need those files on my table before 5 and no later than that," Chris said to Richard who had messed up a file he gave him to work on.

"I thought... " he began to say but the curt look given to him by Chris was enough to shut him up.

"I am sorry sir, I'll make sure it is on your table in no time," he said as he reluctantly left the office he once occupied.

Today, it seemed Chris was on edge.

He had been annoyed by an investor who had just withdrawn his investment claiming a little bird had informed them that they would not serve them correctly.

"I need you to do a thorough search of who had the nerve to say such about my company to my top investor, he will pay," Chris said to Arturo who hurriedly got into work.

Grumbling Richard almost bumped into the Secretary who was taking another file to Chris.

"Why can't you watch where you are going? " Richard yelled at the poor lady who was trying to pick up the documents that had fallen to the ground.

He walked away not apologising.

"What an arse!? She said as she went into Chris's office.

"Here are the documents you requested sir" she declared.

"Keep and leave" Without looking up he said.

She did as instructed and went off her way.

Grumbling as she closed the door too thinking tonjersekf what exactly was wrong with all the males at the office.

"I think Mr Llewellyn and Richards are at Loggers head I found Richard in a foul mood and the boss in a much more foul mood that he has ever been in" she explains to her colleague who shared the cubicle.

"You know company policy doesn't allow chatterinh during work hours right? " he colleague responded.

"But I think Richard deserves what he is getting he was an extremely terrible person, he used to treat us terribly" she continued.

"Yes now let's get back to work we can't possibly loose our jobs over people who have money than we do" the other woman said as she decided to focus on what was before her.

"I still think.. "

"What do you think? I pay you to work and I would not like to repeat myself again to you" Chris said as he passed without looking but just going.

"That bastard thinks he can take what I had worked for? I can't believe he just spoke to me in such a manner" Richard grumbled.

"Never, I can't let him do this to me, I deserve this company, why did my parents have to do this to me? " he asked as he paced back and forth in his cubicle.

"After leaving this place ill get back home to a nagging wife damn" he complained.

As he was about to sit at his desk his phone began to buzz

"Speak of the devil"

"Hello? What do you want now? " he asked in a bored tone.

"I wanted to ask how far you've gone with getting on his nerves at the office and also I need $3000 for shopping" Liana demanded.

"I am at work and we can't afford $3000 now remember we need all the savings we have now " he reminded her.

"But I need to stay en vogue you promised to take care of me when we were together" She began to whine but immediately she began her nagging he dropped the call.

"I pay you to work and not stay on your phone all day remember? " Chris said causing Ruchard to jolt in fright as he could and would not have imagined Chris to be by the door.

"Sorry, it was a family..."

"Hush, I don't need the explanation, have you started working on the documents? " Chris asked sternly.

"Not yet Chris I haven't but ill_"

"You know I pay you and you have no right to call me Chris to you I am Sir or Mr Llewellyn never you refer to me as Chris if not given the privilege do I make myself clear? " he declared nonchalantly but in his nonchalance, there was a stern vibe added to it.

"Yes Sir, I will make sure to not make the mistake of calling your_to call your name sir" he replied grudgingly.

"Good now get to work, don't forget that you have a deadline and it shouldn't be exceeded" he said as he left for his break.

Staying back at the office to work when everyone was at lunch was unbearable and having to return home tired to a nagging wife who didn't think of anyone else but herself was what hurt Richard even more and gr made a mental note to go to his parents house immediately after this he couldn't take this.

It was super torturous and he didn't think he could put up with what was happening at the office.

He felt his masculinity was being insulted but then again he failed to remember the times he and the others had made fun of Chris and humiliated him even before the press and media, how his videos had made rounds because of course he was of a lower class and they all thought he deserved what he was getting.

He was not from a respectable home and now that he was the countries biggest tucoon it just made everything seem and looked hurtful to Richard.

It was 5 pm and he was done with the document but there was no sign of Chris as he had not returned from his lunch break.

Richard decided to take it upon himself to call maybe he could get a location as the conversation they had earlier Chris had said the documents where of great importance and he needed them urgently.

"I am done with the documents sir and I wish to leave the office as it is just me " he said as soon as Chris took the call.

"Okay drop in my desk and leave" saying this he dropped the call before Richard could say yet another word.

"Arsehole" was all he said after the call was ended"
