“So how does it all work?” Richardson asked. “Should I play dirty like them or stay the way I am?”“Playing dirty won’t suit you, that's for sure. You’re different from them. You’re not like the rest of them who try to get their enemies by any means necessary.”“But I’m not their enemy.”“They don’t care about that. They want you to go down and they would do anything to make sure you do just that.”“This sucks. I can’t fight back like them, I can’t expose their fraudulent activities in the company and I’m not ready to take over the company. Yet I have to stay stuck in the middle and behave like nothing is going on.“I won’t lie, this sucks. I hate everything I have to go through here. Seriously, who made up these rules?!”Tom could understand the frustration of the man before him but he wanted him to know that the people after him didn’t care. They were not going to play fair and they would do anything to win.He wished he could help him but he knew it was not his place, he was just a
Tom drove through the busy street as Richardson gave a heavy thought to what he had seen at the company. He wondered if people were still getting treated harshly like he was treated in the past.He remembered not being able to afford anything and he had wished his mother had been able to afford them but at the same time he knew he could not steal or kill for it so he had kept his morals which his mother had taught him.He didn’t like the way people were getting treated. It was harsh to judge based on whatever status was imposed on people without actually knowing who they were.He knew if he entered any restaurant or establishment the way he was at the moment people would swarm at him, but if he had done that when he was poor, no one would have given him a second thought.He would be ignored and treated like trash while he wandered around looking for who to help him.“Is anything on your mind, sir?” Tom asked as he looked at him from the rear mirror.A lot was on his mind but he couldn
Now, due to the man’s stupidity, he had smashed into his Lamborghini.Richardson turned to look at his car as he found the dent to be by the driver's door. This enraged him further. That was not going to be cheap but even though money was not a problem for him, he hated spending it on things that could have been avoided. If only the stupid man had faced the road and driven like a creature that had a brain.He watched the man in the car arrange his suit which looked very expensive before struggling with his dented door to open his car.Richardson moved away a bit from the car, watching the man fight with the door before finally opening it up. It had crumpled up during the impact.Without saying a word to Richardson, he rounded his car to look at his bumper which was crumpled in a very terrible way.“Why would you smash into my car?!” the heir yelled again, furious at the way the man was acting. “Are you blind?!”The man turned to Richardson with rage as he pointed to his bumper, “Who’s
Richardson drove into the estate roughly, scaring the horses which were nesting by the gate.The servants around the estate looked at him drive in as they wondered what had happened.While he drove in, he could see the car that Tom had used to pick him up at the office, parked into the garage with the keys hanging from the door.Tom ran out of the house as he jogged into the garage but when he saw the Lamborghini and the state it was in, he did a double take, confused at what had happened.“Sir… Richardson?” he asked as the heir parked into the garage beside his fathers Cadillac, stepping out of the car with an anger that knew no bounds.He slammed the door of the car as it slightly bounced against the crumpled metal of the side before opening up again.Richardson was so frustrated by this that he let out an impatient groan, going to kick the door of the car.“Okay, young master,” Tom ran to hold back the heir from doing anything bad. “How about you relax and tell me everything that h
When he had awoken from his nap, he was called upon by Tom to have dinner with his grandfather.“I don’t feel like eating with him today,” he groaned awake to find himself still wearing his work clothes. “Look, I haven’t even changed into my casual clothes yet.”But his excuses fell on deaf ears as Tom shook his head.“Sir Richardson, your excuses are only excuses and they all have solutions to them. First of all, you cannot refuse dinner with the master of the empire. Secondly, you can easily change into the clothes you need to change into.“You are in your room after all and you have the liberty to do as you wish. It is the old master’s wish that you join him for dinner. Besides, he also just came back from work and asked to see you and eat with you.“Don’t forget you both have not had dinner in a while with you leaving every now and then to sleep outside.”Tom gave him a sly smile as he felt his cheeks redden from the old man’s gaze. He knew the man knew about his sexual relationsh
“I don’t want to lose you the way I lost your father,” Damien sighed with his hands clasped. The distant look in his eyes said it all as he remembered the past. “You have to be careful with how you eat and drink in public because I’m sure your enemies have increased and multiplied drastically.”That was not a fact that Richardson could ignore as he knew that he was a very big target. He knew his cousins were not the only threat to him but almost all the big names in the company were after his position.Only God knew how many other people were capable of ending him if they had the chance to do so.Richardson knew that lately he had been nonchalant about the things he ate and where he ate them at. He had been free with a lot of people at the company and that was a very costly mistake.It could end up with him dying. He remembered that earlier that day he had tasked his secretary with getting him coffee at the office. If one of his cousins could enter his office even with her around, t
The next day at the office, Richardson was talking to Tom about the accident. He had given the butler the details of the plate number of the car that had rammed into him as he wanted the man to pay for his arrogance.“So, did you get anything?” the heir asked, pushing aside his work to focus on the subject at hand. It was important he showed who was in control instead of fighting on the street and sullying himself.He was going to let others deal with it for him.“Well,” started Tom. “From what I could find out, the plate number is stolen and the actual owner of the car has been looking for it for over a week.”This news got Richardson surprised as his eyes widened after hearing that. Who could have thought that karma was so generous to him now?The heavens were smiling down on him because he was ready to destroy the arrogant thief with everything he had.He had stolen a car and rammed it into him only to be rude about it. Very stupid of the man and his girlfriend.He started to wonde
Richardson knew what the secretary was talking about. It seemed like the woman had arrived with her son but he remembered he had not given any young man any card. It was just the woman and her very little son.He wondered if the young man was the man he had seen her with yesterday in front of the company giving her food. Maybe that was the man.Either way, he wanted to see how everything would play out. After all, he had enough time on his hands to spare.“Let them in,” he said inquisitive to know who the young man was going to be.“Alright sir,” he heard the lady say. “You can go in.”Within minutes, his door opened up with the strangers entering his office.***Alice stood in front of a mirror of a restroom sobbing. She didn’t care that she was in her work place, she only wanted to let out her anger and frustration in a way and that was what she was doing.She gave a little cry followed by a sob to control her emotions which were reeling out of control as she wiped the snot from her
