"Enjoy your meal in peace. No one is forcing you to speak in this place." Richard handed her the order that had already arrived.Rosse reluctantly smiled at him. She began to eat happily and was somewhat surprised by the taste of the food, which seemed unfamiliar to her but tasted amazing. "Does it really taste like this?" She asked rather excitedly and widened her eyes.The tips of Richard's lips were slightly raised. He smiled faintly at the figure that initially looked awkward but, a second later, quickly turned liquid because of the food. He shook his head softly. "It always tastes like that in this place, but in other places, it's not as good."The woman nodded, forgetting the fact that she didn't have to talk to be comfortable. Her awkwardness disappeared, and now she spoke comfortably on her own. "I like the flavour. I think I've seen it in many places. They sell it like they sell fried chicken. It's easy to find." She had thought that maybe it tasted like that, so many places
She tried to look at Richard again and shook her head in denial, then quickly put her hand back to hold the door closed again like what Richard had done earlier. "No-no!" She tried to push back inside.Richard, annoyed by this, turned to her with emotion but remained quite calm. "What are you doing? I clearly said that this is not the car that will pick you up. You're the wrong person, and get out while I'm still asking you nicely."The woman named Marrie was staring at him with her lips sealed tightly. She was annoyed at Richard's completely unfriendly and annoying attitude. "I'm sure you're pretending to be Mr. Richard. What I heard is that Mr. Richard is a man with a good attitude, and you don't look that good."Richard believed she was just an annoying woman who would only bother him with her foolishness. But dealing with such a person was even more difficult than dealing with a woman who was ill-mannered and arrogant and liked to put others down."I don't want to know you have to
"I've been waiting for you." Andrea looked excited, walking beside Richard, who did not reduce the speed of his steps at all.She walked into a house deserted by family members, except for the servants, who always greeted and escorted her when she went out. Being alone most of the time, she did not pay attention to her surroundings and was less responsive to people trying to keep up with her.It was only when she heard Andrea's heavy breathing trying to keep up with her that she shortened her pace. "What are you waiting for me for? I'm sure all your needs in this place have been taken care of by the others. If there's anything you need, just tell them."Andrea chuckled shyly. "They gave me what I needed as you said, sir. But I waited for you because of something else. I did not expect you to be gone for so long." She gave the man a quick glance.He was about two days away from home, which wasn't too long for him. Usually, she could be gone for even longer than that, and no one would p
Andrea followed behind Richard, who was walking in front of her. Both of them were wearing tight clothes intended for riding. Richard's pace was uncharacteristically unconcerned with his surroundings. He walked at his own pace while talking to Smith, who was beside him and was talking about his schedule today."In two or three days, they'll have what you asked for ready." Smith looked back at his screen and saw that a message from Bryce had reached him, from which he knew what Bryce was reporting. "Sir, Bryce says what you requested has arrived." He relayed that to Richard.Richard smiled slightly and nodded his head. "They're right on time. Tell him to eat the apple." This was a message they used as a code, and only Bryce and Richard knew what it meant.Smith nodded, he obeyed what Ethan told him. "I'll tell him, sir."She then retreated from there, while Andrea, who had come along with them, seemed to be strolling leisurely and enjoying herself. Occasionally, she played with her ha
As Richard told Andrea yesterday, the whole country was abuzz with the news that several companies' stock prices had plummeted to almost rock bottom.Many people from all walks of life discussed the news, and the media covered it on a large scale and spread it across the country, so practically everyone knew about it."They should have thought before doing it? Why would they choose an opponent they can't fight?" Smith muttered as he watched the news on the television.He knew about the destruction because Richard ordered him to make short work of the companies that were messing with him.Even though he knew they were wrong, the massive losses they faced still made him regret it. Those people could have stayed safe, but they chose to make war for themselves, and now, their actions are only destroying themselves.Smith shook his head, grabbed his suit, and put it on neatly for duty. "It was all because they were too greedy, in the end greed killed and destroyed their own bodies." He wal
Richard, who was outside, was currently busy with his work. He was holding a meeting with the shareholders of the companies affected by his decision.Those shareholders who were divided, with some choosing to side with Richard, were now asking for his help so that the company that held their future funds would not be completely ruined just because the head of the company that had a larger amount of shares sought trouble with Richard."We plan to take over the leadership of the Lord's company." The representative of the association spoke to Richard.The round table filled with those who favored Richard started to get noisy, talking about it with the person next to them."Right!" one of the others exclaimed. "It's not right that we have to bear the loss just because of their actions, sir. This is a personal matter that they did without discussing it with us first, but what happened after their actions was detrimental to us.""We and our families are being threatened because of this, sir
"M... Mr. Richard?" she stammered while hiding her hands frantically behind her body. She stared in confusion at Richard's presence there even though she had previously confirmed that he was in his room.Richard looked at her with a small grin. "Are you surprised to see me here?" He approached her casually. "You didn't think that I would come, did you?"Richard snorted softly, looked at the woman coldly, and was never completely at ease with her existence. For that reason, he deliberately placed her closer, deliberately let her move and pretended not to know while talking as if he was trying to trust her.As he suspected, she was just biding her time. Something that felt elongated about her was proving to be true and was now happening right in front of her eyes."What are you doing?" Richard asked in his calmest and quietest tone.He wanted to see how far Andrea would go in front of him. The woman smiled awkwardly, still with her hand hiding the injection Richard had seen in her hand.
"There's no reason to hate is there?" Andrea answered Richard's question flatly as if she didn't care what Richard would do to her. From the look in her eyes, the woman did not seem to show any fear in the figure of Richard, who had now caught what she was doing openly. Instead, Andrea showed an arrogant attitude she had never shown before in front of Richard and the others in that place.She clearly looks like a different woman from the graceful woman she was before. This time, behind the calm figure of her eyes, she looks like she is holding madness, something that is clearly being held back and suppressed all this time so hard by Richard and the people who are watching her.It's not that Andrea didn't know that she was being watched by many of Richard's staff who kept watching her for almost twenty-four hours, they kept watching her like she was under house arrest, all her activities and what she did were constantly being noticed by them which were then reported to Richard.Richar
