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
“Here we are sir,” Tom opened the door of his car as he got out of it, looking around the company garage.The memories started to flood back to him. He could remember running into the company every day for work and he would still show up late. Everyday he had to take care of his mother in the hospital before heading for work. This always got him in trouble as he would appear late to work.“Shall we go in?” suggested the butler, leading him into the company.Richardson looked back to see so many men in suits following him into the company. They all had dark shades on as they were more than twenty men. They included the board members and their security guards.“Right this way sir,” Tom opened the glass door for him to walk through.Getting into the company, he could see that it had not changed much. He could see the familiar workers there doing their normal jobs.He found his former desk being taken up by someone else. Not up to one month and he had already been replaced. It seem
When Alice had seen Richardson in the office with different Empire employees, she could not help but marvel at his transformation. He had to be really important to wear casual clothes while the board wore official suits.She was starting to realize how powerful the man was becoming. If he could show up to another company as a stand-in for the owner of Empire, he was not an ordinary worker.She knew the company which he had shown up to was under Empire. Who was Richardson, she thought to herself.She had been present during the meeting and watching him sack the manager of the company had come as a shock to her. She had not seen it coming and this made her shiver. What if he had turned to her and sacked her as well? He had every right to do so considering that he had done so to him and he could return the favor by sacking her and her boyfriend Michael.Most of her friends who had mocked her for dating Richardson flocked around her eagerly as they started to ask her how he had made
Michael was furious when he came out of his office to see Alice being humiliated by Richardson and his board members. He had not expected that his girlfriend would stoop so low to act the way she had acted.He started to think back on what had happened the minute Richardson had gotten into the company.He had finished working on a project. Getting out of the office, he found Richardson walking into the company with the board members of the Empire company. At first he was taken aback by his ex friend but after a couple of minutes shock turned to anger.Why was he here?Everything changed when he saw the way the men around him treated him with awe and respect. Richardson, unlike the other people there, wore casual clothes for the meeting. It would have been a sign of disrespect but after seeing the way he was treated he knew Richardson was way bigger than he had actually thought.During the meeting, Richardson had barely paid any attention to him, making him feel dumb and extremel
