What had made Jennie tremble was the fact that the man standing beside them was the exact man who had bullied and humiliated her in the hospital the first day she had met Richardson.Seeing him now brought back the fears which she had tried so hard to let go. It had taken a couple of weeks to finally rid that feeling of helplessness and weakness she had felt that day but seeing him in front of her brought them all back.That day had been her worst day at her workplace and even when it was the start of her new friendship with Richardson, it still bothered her and gave her nightmares for what would have happened if he had not intervened.Who knew, maybe she would have been in prison for whatever lies the man would have told the police, or maybe he would have beaten her so badly she would need to be hospitalized in the hospital she worked at.Richardson patted Jennie’s trembling hands down as he sized the man before him up. The brute had tried to do a disgraceful thing by beating up an
He went into his gallery section to pull out the proof of the pictures he had taken of the man before and after he had given him the shoes.“I hope this isn’t too much evidence for you,” Richardson smiled as he showed them different pictures of the man accepting the shoes. “I can get you more pictures if you want.”“Holy cow!” one of the man’s friends gasped as he found the evidence to be true.The man’s girlfriend was tired of having her man being insulted as she intended going for Jennie.“You’re a cheap whore!” she spat out. “Calling your man to insult my man was a very cheap move which only whores like you exhibit.”Richardson was about to say something as Jennie shook her head.“I’ll take care of this,” she whispered to the heir, turning to face her opponent. “You’re dating a pervert who had wanted to see my nakedness after I had mistakenly spilled water over his shoes. “You’re just as good as what you date and that’s saying a lot considering he’s supposed to be in jail for what
“So I was thinking, after dinner can we go to my place and hang out a little more?” she sent him a sexy smile while putting her hand over his. She felt his hand stiffen and suddenly become cold.“I’m sorry,” he sighed, taking back his hand from under her own. “But I’ll have to decline that offer.”She was taken aback by his words. Had she not been good enough for him the last time they had done it? Had he found someone better or was he not into her?So many questions raged through her head as she recoiled her hands to her lap.“I have to get an early start tomorrow as I’ve got a ton of work at the office,” he went on to explain.Jennie was not pleased to hear that one bit and she tried to hide her disappointment. He didn’t even try to promise that there would be a next time as she was sure he wasn’t into her as she had earlier thought.Maybe her mother was wrong to think he was shy and not wanting to express his feelings for her. He had his mind set on something else and she had to fi
Michael made sure he followed Alice to different places to ensure she was not cheating while trying to avoid being seen by the woman.He wondered if she was cheating on him with someone at work or someone outside. He didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary while she worked. She interacted with everyone like she would a work mate. Her friends would gather around her from time to time and she would brag about what she had gotten next with the money she had with her. “What are you doing, Michael?” he muttered to himself as he leaned back into his chair. He wondered if he was acting crazy by the way he was behaving. He knew he had to get a grip of himself before he would lose his mind.He remembered how he had shown up at work with her together and how she hadn’t spoken to him at all. Apparently, she was mad at him for something and she had refused to talk to him about it.He was also mad at her for keeping secrets from him and he knew that the new things she was getting were not be
Michael started to have a flashback based on one of his childhood memories. About how he had felt extremely betrayed on finding out that his younger brother had been made the CEO of the company.Growing up with his younger brother, he hated how his brother would be praised for so many things no matter how silly or ridiculous they would be.It got him angry every single day as he tried his best a couple of times to match up to the expectations of his parents but it never turned out well.The funny thing about the things he usually did was that if he did it, it was wrong or expected of him and as such it was ordinary, but if his brother was to do the same thing, it would be praised and he would be used as an example to him. He had tried doing so many things which would have earned his parents approval to no avail. His brother was the wanted child while he was either the black sheep or the prodigal son who returned after every mistake.It always pained him to watch his brother being pra
He had always known that as the first born, it would be his responsibility to take over the company and rule under his fathers eyes until he was ready to take over fully with his father handing the reins over to him.Unfortunately, that had not worked and instead he had been thrown out and his brother had been given the ropes on how the company worked.He remembered asking his brother if what his father had said was true just for the young boy at the time to lie to him and give him different answers.He also remembered asking his brother about his frequent disappearances, before his father made the statement, but the boy had also lied. He had not believed that his brother would betray him in this way and so he had blindly believed him.On finding out the truth about it, he had lost his temper, feeling annoyed and betrayed by his brother. Without wasting any time, he had confronted his brother about it to know the truth since his parents were not going to give him any.His brother lied
Richardson had breakfast with his grandfather while they both prepared for work.They had on their suits while they ate in the dining room with the television playing the news on mute while opera music played in the background.It was the kind of life people would see on television and pray to have. It was a wonderful life to live, Richardson thought to himself as he picked up a lobster to feast on.Mary wasn’t joining them as she was still in bed. She had nothing to do but sleep and eat. She only needed to focus on her health and getting her memories back so Tom was helping her do that.It wasn’t going as planned but it was a plan nonetheless.“How has work been?” Damien asked, trying to start up a conversation as he distracted Richardson from his thoughts.“Uhhh… it’s been great,” the heir replied stuffing his mouth with more lobsters. He had been caught off guard by his grandfather and he knew where the man wanted the conversation to lead to. He had to avoid going there with the ol
“These are all files of the company and you have no right to be in my office,” Richardson said, dropping his suitcase on a couch.The man pointed to the files on the desk, opening some of them as Richardson tried his best to be polite to the man.“You don’t need to do all of that. Just tell me what you want and I will provide them for you. If I cannot, then my assistant will do just that.”The man ignored what he had said, scattering more of the files on the desk while searching for whatever he was searching for.Richardson felt extremely disrespected by that singular action. He had been ignored by the man sitting in his position while going through his files. That was something he was not going to tolerate any longer.Richardson took in deep controlled breaths to put his rage under control. He didn’t want to appear aggressive to the man.“The files you have here are not what I need. Pathetic,” the man spat out, leaning back in the chair to have a good look at Richardson. “I can’t bel
