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
At first they had started talking like they cared but soon enough they started to insult her and her boyfriend for their embarrassing behaviors at the party last night. She could not understand why she was being treated the way she was treated.She usually blamed Michael for the embarrassments but now it seemed like she was the one embarrassing others.The scenery from the party last night came up with a rush making her close her eyes again with tears rolling out.How the lady had poured drinks on her gowns and severely insulted her made her want to cry even louder. The lady did not have to make a scene but instead she had done so. It looked like it was all she wanted to do, to embarrass her in front of her friends and people from the company.She felt embarrassed and hurt with all the weird looks she had been getting since she arrived at work. It all made sense to her now why people had been giving her the looks.Because of the stares, she had run into the restroom to cry out her ey
Alice felt like she had gone through a lot and didn’t know why she would still have to go through a lot.She watched the woman before her with hatred as she wished she had the strength to attack her but she knew she would lose.Everyone in the company had already seen the video, at least that was what her mind told her and she was not in the right state of mind ti fight anyone.She knew she had lost this one so she had to let it go. Fighting Lola was not worth it.Lola exited the restroom with an evil laughter escaping her lips, leaving the door ajar to annoy Alice who walked to the door, slamming it shut in anger.***Michael typed away at his computer while trying to focus on work. He didn’t want to remember what had happened last night so he focused on work.His friends who had humiliated him at the party joined him at his desk with smug grins on their faces.Michael looked up to see three of them standing over him in matching suits. “What do you guys want?” he asked with a bland
Michael knew his life was already doomed after that. There was no telling how rough life was going to be after the suspension.He was barely surviving on the company’s salary because his living expenses were very costly and the money he had gotten from his dad was almost running out. “Now, for the two of you who can’t understand the gravity of your crimes and will want to ask me how much I would be deducted from your salary, I’ll answer you and reply now,” the manager said as he punched some numbers in a calculator.“Wow, that is a lot of money and I don’t see you guys paying it anytime soon. Anyway, from my calculations I’ll be deducting a lot from your salary. I don’t have the right estimate as I can tell that you guys broke more than five MacBooks.”He pushed on his buzzer which got his secretary entering his office.“Sir,” the lady said at the door. “You called for me.”“Yes I did. I calculated five broken MacBooks when I came outside to see what was going on. Is anything else br
Alice heard some people at the door discussing as she turned on the tap on the sink to wash her hands and act like she was busy.She knew they would soon get into the restroom and she didn’t want them to know she had been crying due to what the lady had said to her.She was going to be careful with how she did things. She already had the whole office on her case. She was sure they were all waiting for her to make another mistake so they would call her out.She would be careful especially around that lady who had threatened her. Even her friends were against her. She would also need to be careful around them as well. It seemed like no one at the office was to be trusted. All they wanted was to see her downfall. If only she had enough money in her bank account, she would have gone away from the office and gone for a shopping retreat.That was what she needed at the time. Whenever she felt herself getting stressed or getting overwhelmed, the only thing which worked to calm her down was
