Richardson wasn’t sure he had heard right at first.Instantly, the murmurs admidst the crowd went up a few notches. It was obvious that like Richardson, they were all extremely scandalized.Richardson couldn’t believe his ears. He couldn’t believe that a human could be this crude.“Oh my. Did he really mean that?” A random person exclaimed.“I think so. He didn’t seem like someone who jokes around.” Another one supplied.“But, everyone would see her naked if she did as he had requested.” Another one mused in sympathy.“Serves her prudish ass right. I’ve always been curious of how she looks underneath that gown anyways.” A snort looking man muttered and the men around him snickered.Richardson’s lips curled up in disgust, and then he glanced up at Jennie who was still on her knees.More tears fell down Jennie’s face. “Sir, please… anything but that.”The man shook his head firmly. “That’s the only option I have to offer. You entire do that or prepare to be arrested.” He responded flatl
Richardson basked in the way in man spluttered in disbelief and outrage. He waved his hands around while his mouth moved, but no sound came forth. The scowl on his face has deepened drastically.The onlookers’ voices had become more audible, so it wasn’t hard to make out their exclamations.“What?!” One exclaimed.“So, he had been telling a lie the entire time?” Another one demanded.“I thought you said the shoes were up to two million dollars.” One snapped.“I just assumed! Well, even if is isn’t up to two million dollars, five hundred dollars for a pair of shoes is still freaking expensive! My entire family haven’t earned that in their entire life, even if you combined all their incomes.”“Hm, that’s true. You’re actually right. Have a million dollars is still a lot of money.”“But, jennie didn’t even ruin the shoes.”“I can’t believe that man stood up to Jennie like that!” “How dare you utter such lies! You were not there when I bought the shoes, how then do you know that I’m tell
Richardson gets a call from Damien, his grandfather.His grandfather rarely calls, majority of the times, he prefers to send text messages or emails instead.He had called to inform Richardson that he’d like to have a few important words with him once he arrived back at the office.As Richardson shoved his phone back into his pocket, he let a long sigh ease out of his lungs.He was currently leaning against the hood of his car, with his fingers running through his air. It was currently night time, but Richardson wasn’t ready to head home just yet.Richardson was thinking about his life.He had it all now.All that he could ever dream of, and things that he hadn’t ever been able to bring himself to ever think about, was what he now had.Even though he was keeping a low profile, he was still living an extremely comfortable life.A lot of people would kill to be in his spot, a lot of people are definitely out there, extremely jealous of him even though they didn’t know who he was But, s
Richardson slept like a log of wood. The sleep was so peaceful, coupled with the fact that he also had a really nice dream.In the dream, he grew up in his rightful place – in the Wilson’s estate, and his father whom he never got to meet in real life, was present in the dream.Richardson’s father was loving and passionate in the dream, he loved his wife, who was Richardson’s mother so much. Richardson’s childhood was a really happy one in the dream.As soon as Richardson woke up, he tried not to dwell on the dream too much. He also pointedly refused to reflect on how sad and pathetic his real life childhood was.The only great thing about growing up for Richardson, was his mother and nothing else.He shut the blaring alarm and went around his usual morning routine while getting ready. His schedule was quite packed today, and Richardson was looking forward to getting to the bottom of the records he had been analyzing at work yesterday.He decided to wear a brown color suit today. It
Before Richardson left the headquarters which his grandfather had brought him to, he called on Tom to help him bring his car to him from the house, since they both had a meeting to attend together.The meeting was supposed to have been held this morning, but the unexpectedness at which Damien had asked Richardson to accompany him, had made all the meeting be automatically moved forward.Richardson bit his grandfather and promised him to be careful, as he made his way out of the office, into the elevator.On getting into his car which was currently being driven by Tom, Richardson murmured a word of greeting to him as Tom sped up, sliding bank into the busy road. It took over fifty minutes before Tom and Richardson finally arrived at the location for the scheduled meeting.Which was because there had been a little traffic on the road, compared to how free the road had been this morning when Richardson and his grandfather had been headed towards one of the Wilson’s empire's headquarters
Chapter 36 “Wow… it has been a really hectic day.” Richardson muttered to himself before releasing a huge sigh of relief “I guess I should take some time off and get some air.” Richardson said to himself inaudibly as he sat back, relaxing all his weight on the chair and looking up to the ceilingRichardson got up from his desk and grabbed his car keys, making his way out of the office.He got to his car standing beside it and just stood there staring into space lost in his thoughts, he wondered who would be the one to accompany him to the gathering which was happening really soon.“Hmm… maybe I should just go find a supermodel? I think that sounds like a good idea. I would be envied and be the most admired person in the ceremony” Richardson thought to himself, lost in his fantasy of what a perfect supermodel would be like.Richardson got into his car and locked the doors, he picked up his phone and turned on his cellular data, opening his AppStore and next, he searched online d
Jennie’s face changed into a worried one as her smile turned into an unsure one. Her mind raced across millions of scenarios where she had gone wrong with the man before her but nothing seemed to come up.Have I done something wrong? She asked herself multiple times as he kept his smile on.He was still smiling so there was no way for her to be on his bad side. Had he changed his mind after helping her out? Was he here to ask for the money he had used in buying the shoes for the jerk yesterday?“Uhhh… Sir…” she stammered trying to come off as polite with a worried smile taking over her expression. “If you’re here because of the incident that happened yesterday, I’ll apologize.”He looked at her with a confused expression on his face.“If there was any misunderstanding between us I really do apologize but I do not have the money to pay you for the shoes.”“Oh,” Richardson laughed nervously, raising his hands up into the air. “I’m not here for those.”“You aren’t,” she sighed with an
He looked around to see some people around the park giving him the look of awe and respect. When he was poor and had nothing, all he got were hisses and looks of disgust.It was different now.He wondered what would have been his fate if his grandfather had not found him in jail. Maybe he could have been killed and his mother dead. Those thoughts made him shiver, creating visible goosebumps under the lit street lamp.“Are you cold?” Jennie asked in concern, noticing the bumps on his skin. “You seem cold.”He rubbed his hands together, putting them to his mouth to blow hot air into his open palms before dropping them down to his knees. “I’m alright,” he smiled at the woman.The park had children from the hospital playing in it. Their parents watching them in awe in their seats. A thought creeped up in his mind as he shut it down. “Can you dance?” he asked, taking her unawares.“What?”“Can you…?”“I heard you the first time, I’m just…” she stopped, taking in deep and labored brea
