"You've really divorced him?" Amy stared in surprise at Richard, holding back by holding his arm.Richard nodded his head nonchalantly, unlike Amy who asked cautiously, Richard didn't try to hide his divorce.Amy was still not distracted from her shock. "Then you should use the money to buy your wife a gift, make her happy so that she will accept you again." Amy pressed him, her tone sounding panicked.The old woman felt bad. She heard the news that Richard had divorced his wife, made her not want to make Richard's situation worse and make it worse. She couldn't help Richard but at least he also didn't want to burden Richard by letting Richerd pay off her debts.Amy with her weakened body, struggled to stand up and pushed Richard out. "You don't need to help me, just go... go and see your wife." She kept pushing Richard's arm to get out of there, but Richard held the advancing woman and pushed her with difficulty to keep from falling. "Don't think about me. I'll be fine. You think of
"What are you doing?" the voice shouted as a horde of people burst into his place with black clothes, baseball bats, and golf clubs in their hands.Reynold, the man who collected the debt from Amy, looked panicked after he opened the door that was being banged loudly from outside. He moved backward even though he realized what he should have done was the opposite. The men stood up, each finding a place for themselves as they glanced around the small cooperative office with its tall flowers.They ignored Reynold with an obvious anxious attitude on his face. The stocky man's feet stepped in the reverse direction. He had been taking steps backward without paying attention to the objects behind him. He was knocked down several times by what hit him from behind."Stop it! Don't do that. Stop!... I said stop!" he shouted hysterically as some of them began to smash the baseball bats and golf clubs they were carrying against the tables, urns, and various items they could smash. "What are you
Richard was in the lobby of a luxury hotel. He sat there dressed quite neatly despite his modest appearance, with a tab in his hand, Richard handled his work quietly, without anyone disturbing him.The surroundings looked calm, everything looked peaceful with each other's activities not disturbing each other. In the middle of his time monitoring his work indirectly, Richard took a slow sip of the coffee on his desk. Even so, his gaze did not move at all from the tab screen in his hand."You remember our appointment today, don't you?" a woman's voice was loud enough to make him briefly move his gaze due to distraction.Richard saw a woman in a fairly revealing ball gown walking by, as the woman got closer, a strong scent of perfume wafted from her and pierced Richard's sense of smell which was disturbed by the dizzying smell. Richard then closed his eyes as he noticed the woman sitting on another chair right beside him, out of the corner of his eye.The odor of the woman's pungent perf
Richard looked at the woman reluctantly. "What did I steal it for?" he responded casually, dismissing the woman as a freak. Richard returned his gaze to the tab screen, ignoring the woman because the work he was currently doing was more important than her business. But the woman was reluctant to leave him and was now coming closer and disturbing him even more with the strong smell of her perfume piercing Richard's sense of smell."You've been here all along, so it must have been you who took it secretly. "There is no one else but you who is near me." She insisted on accusing Richard of stealing her necklace.Richard took his eyes off the tab screen. He then looked at the woman coldly. Richard did not expect that he, who had been busy there with his work, would end up getting baseless accusations just because he was around the woman. "As you can see, I've been busy with my work, miss. So, can you stop saying nonsense?"To him, it was the most absurd nonsense to say to her because he c
"Do you have proof that I stole it?" Richard looked at Nadine coldly.There was no reason for him to be poorly treated in that place when she had done absolutely nothing to harm anyone."If you can't prove that I stole it, then you'd better stop with your current attitude," Richard warned her. He did not intend to let her go any further.Nadine moved closer, hearing Richard's words irritated her. "Well, I'll prove that you took it." She started to move her hands to touch him, but he stopped her by brushing her off.Richard gave the woman a sharp look. "Don't try to touch me." Richard clearly showed his dislike when his body was about to be touched by him as proof.That made Andine feel even more ignited and upset. "Why?" He barked fiercely. "If you didn't take it, why don't you want to be touched?"Nadine's reply to him was rather absurd. Richard had many reasons why he did not like having his body touched by others, especially when it came to his comfort."Sir, you'd better be coope
The men then looked at Richard with a jolt. The threat Richard made to them made them feel like he wasn't messing around and was serious about making them regret it.Richard looked at them seriously. "I will not remain silent if you continue to disturb my comfort. I will make serious demands on this place as well as on you." Richard turned to look at Nadine, who was undaunted.For a moment, Nadine stared at him. She was speechless as Richard's serious-sounding threat jolted her. But then he noticed Richard again, who, unlike the others with their luxurious-looking appearance, Richard only looked like an ordinary man with a simple appearance with the shirt he was wearing.She then smiled. For someone who looked not even better than the servants there, Richard's attitude was too arrogant. She came to believe that Richard's threat was just nonsense. Not a thing that was really going to happen. "Don't talk so much. Do you think someone like you can afford to make demands? I'm not even sur
"What is it?" the voices of the people behind them could be heard loudly talking to each other. "So the necklace wasn't stolen by that man?" they didn't expect the uproar to end up being such a surprise.After the furor that ensued because of the accusations he made against Richard, it turned out that the necklace was not on Richard. Even after Richard repeatedly emphasized that he had not taken anything from Nadine, she did not believe him and would not listen to him in the slightest. She still insisted that Richard was the thief.Nadine was surprised when her eyes fell on a necklace with a red pendant handed to her by the woman, and she picked it up. "How can this necklace be on you?!" She exclaimed and looked at the woman in annoyance. "Did you steal it?"Richard stared at the woman dumbfounded after accusing her of quickly stealing his possessions, and now he switched to blaming someone else for doing it just because it was in that person's hands."Have you gone completely mad?"
"Once again, I apologize for my tardiness, sir." Milo bowed once again in front of Richard.Richard looked at him casually. After Milo took him to the private room rented by the hotel, Richard first sat on the single sofa with his legs crossed and glimpsed at the place. "Sit down," Richard said, pointing to the chair before him. He then pushed his shoulders back and leaned more on the sofa.Milo bowed his head softly. He briefly smiled at Richard, then sat there afterward. "I want to discuss what you asked me to do, sir."Richard picked up the bottle of wine on the table. He lowered his booted feet, now firmly planted on the floor. He poured the wine into his glass, shaking it gently before smelling the aroma and taking a gentle sip. "So, how did it go?" Richard turned his head slowly and casually, strangely making Milo nervous.Milo adjusted his sitting position to be a little more on the edge since he seemed to have taken out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his temples, even t
