“I love your suit,” a man complimented the suit he had on, causing him to swell with pride.“Thanks,” he sighed, trying to not blush under the dim light. He liked whenever he was the center of attention. That was how Michael had grown up. He had loved being the main character. Even in other peoples stories, he loved being the main center of attention.Getting kicked out of the party had bruised his ego but getting compliments from the bar was healing him up really good.“How much did you get it?” the man went on with more men coming closer to get a feel of his suit. “A hundred thousand dollars,” he replied like he was bored but deep down, he was jumping for joy at the attention he was getting.“Oh my God!” He heard the men gasp in shock at the price with some whistling. Take it all in, he smiled to himself watching the reaction around him with an air of arrogance. It felt good to be rich amongst the poor. He was once again, the center of attention for the men.“Here,” he dropped a
“Where are you going, Sir?” Richardson’s driver asked him as he got into the Bentley, requesting for the keys.“I’m taking her for a little spin, I’ll be back,” he smiled taking the keys from the driver as he started it up.Roaring the car to life, he sped into traffic, heading for Jennie’s abode.“That was the most fun I have ever had,” she clapped her hands for joy. She was elated at how everything had gone for her.She had mingled with so many rich people, lived a life of luxury and had a wonderful night with Richardson. Being his girlfriend had gotten her so much attention.“I did too,” Richardson laughed, slowing down to get into a street way. “I had to deal with my ex and her crazy boyfriend.”“I saw that,” she concurred. “What happened to you both anyway?”Her question took him back to the past as he remembered his time in the company while watching himself dance, the look on his boss’s face as he was getting fired and his surprise to find out about his girlfriends affair with
While driving through the night, he remembered he had not paid her for her services. Stopping at a red light, he took out his phone, dialed her number and listened to the phone ring.“Hello,” her voice came on the phone.“You haven’t slept yet?” he chuckled.“You just left, silly,” she chuckled back. “I was about to make dinner but I was undressing.”“Oh,” he replied, beginning to imagine her sexy body out of her clothes with her naked body in his bed. Focus Richardson, he mentally hit himself.“Anyway, I forgot about your pay. I should have told you about it.”“Oh yeah,” she laughed. “That.”“Yeah, I’ll send it to you once I get home. I got your account number from Tom. Remember you gave it to him during your training session.”“Yes I remember. Just drive safe.”“Sure,” he nodded, watching the lights turn green. “I’ve got to go.”“Alright, bye,” she said before hanging up.He laid his head on the rest while breathing in deeply. There was no need to rush as it was late at night and
Jennie felt extremely giddy immediately she got into her room. She could not believe that she had gotten into fights with rich folks and gone away unscathed. That was a first and it elated her.She had heard stories but not been to any rich party to see how the rich fought.Getting into her room, she stared at the mirror before her. In her dress she looked sexy. No wonder he had stared at her like he had seen a ghost. She could not help but also admire what she had.Taking off the dress while she got ready to have dinner, she found her phone buzzing lightly.It was Richardson.“Hello,” she said over the phone, listening to him breathe. “You haven’t slept yet?” he chuckled. It had a nice ring to it. She could hear him chuckle all day and not get tired of it.“You just left, silly,” she chuckled back. “I was about to make dinner but I was undressing.”“Oh,” he replied. He didn’t say anything and she started to wonder if she had given off too much information. “Anyway. I forgot about y
Three days after the party, Richardson stood at the hospital park waiting for Jennie to join him. He had on a polo with blue jeans. His sneakers screamed of wealth as it was the latest one in the stores.He paced around, kicking about the grasses as he waited for her to join him in the garden. He had grown tired of sitting and playing games on his phone so he was moving around to pass away the time.“Hey,” he heard her call behind as he turned to see her dressed in a decent flower dress. “You’ve been here a long time?”“You know I called you like an hour ago,” he chuckled.“Yeah I did, I’m sorry I lost track of time,” she apologized. “I was working. My boss yelled at me for missing so many days at work so I was trying to make up for it.”“Alright,” he nodded.She looked him over admiring his fashion sense. He was rich. She only needed to fuse with him and all her financial troubles would be a thing of the past. She would not even have to work anymore.“So, shall we?” He pointed to his
Going through the files at his office, he found some new revelations. He could see new results popping out from nowhere.“Interesting,” he sighed as he clicked away at his desktop while ignoring the buzzing of his phone.He had been working nonstop to find out where the new embezzlement was coming from.He had gotten some clues but he needed more evidence to know how to go about his investigation.Finally after a tedious week of searching through for where the company's money was going, he found it. He figured out where the loopholes for the receipts were coming from. They were coming from one of the extended family. The three grown sons of Damien’s brother who had apprehended him at the party.“Well, I’ll be damned,” he chuckled evilly, settling into his seat. This was a twist he had not seen coming.He had expected it from some people but not from the men. They had acted like saints and had almost accused him of stealing and lying but here they were stealing from the company they s
“So… you seriously want me to do nothing about it?” Richardson asked further wanting to know if the man would try to change his mind, even if it would be for a little bit.“Nope,” the man said, still hung up on his answer.“Not even a little bit?” the youngster asked again. He wondered why the man would say such. He hated his brother and his children, it would take nothing from him to throw them out of his company.It would give him the time and the strength to spend on something more productive, instead of worrying about what his brother and his children were planning next.“Richardson,” the man cleared his throat. From the way his tone changed, it was clear he had gotten out of bed. “The only reason I’m doing this is for your sake.”“My sake?” Richardson almost yelled out. What did he have to do with this now?“Yes. Now listen, you’ll only get more attention to yourself if you expose them and that would be very bad for your upcoming reputation.,” the man reasoned.“Now, as much as I
“Sir,” Richardson heard someone shake him as he woke up from his slumber to see Tom standing over him.“Hey,” he sighed, stretching himself up. He looked around the room to recognize the room to not be his. The beeping reminded him that he was still in his mothers room.He had fallen asleep by her bedside the night before.“You slept here all night sir,” Tom noted, opening the windows to let in the sunlight.“Oh no, close it. Mother does not like…” he began to explain in a defensive way as Tom raised a finger.“She’s in a coma sir,” the butler noted. “Would you not want her to wake? That is the reason we are trying everything possible with the doctors, to make her wake up.”“Oh yeah,” he concurred getting to his full height. He paced to the chair, took up his suitcase and started for his room as Tom ran after him.“Sir, I have something important to tell you.”“Yeah, I won’t be showing up at work today,” he waved the old man off. “I still haven’t slept well. And can you tell my secret
