“The pleasure is all mine, Mr Luxander”. Richie said with a smile. Luxander had smiled first at him so this was a good sign, right?. He thought. He signalled at he waitress to take their orders. “One iced Americano for him, please”.Richie ordered.“Just one? What about you?”. Luxander questioned. “I actually had one before you came”. Richie lied. In truth, he didn’t like iced Americano. He was just trying to impress Luxander and impressing Luxander meant deal getting signed and seeing a smile on his grandfather’s face.“Now I feel bad. I did come here exactly 7:30am though but you make it sound like l made you wait long. I apologize for that.”Now Richie bit down on her tongue. He couldn’t believe all these misunderstandings had all ensued because he didn’t order a freaking iced Americano. “You didn’t make me wait long”.Richie said trying to make the matter better. “You are my guest so it only makes sense that I arrive before you, isn’t it? You just kept ne waiting for like 10minut
“Where are you boss? I’ll come to you”. John questioned. Richie let out a deep throaty laughter. “Will you come all the way to New Orleans when you have to be with your mother? There’s no need. Just stay there, I’ll be fine. I Just wonder what grandfather’s expression is going to be like this time. He’d finally hugged me for the first time in 26 years” . Richie sighed. “Sorry for the moppy story, I’ll leave you now”. Richie hung up as he ordered another bottle of whiskey. His mind was in a daze as he was confused. An old lady who was the owner of the bar, approached him.”Young man I think you have had enough to drink. Go home. Do you live around? Or Should I call a chauffeur for you?” Annoyed by her persistence, Richie pushed her off, shouting. “Woman get lost and just do your job!. If you know that you would rather intrude on your customer’s life than offer them your service then, just stay out of it. I’ll go somewhere else to drink if you are not ready to offer me a bottle of wh
Later. I will eat later.”. Richie said as he ascened the stairs, moving up as he bypassed Kate’s room. He knew that he should just walk away but Miriam’s words troubled him. Giving into his desires, he rapped lightly on the door and upon hearing no response, he turned on the knob walking in. “I’m home. Wake up”. He ordered with a strong voice but he got no response.”I get it now you”. Richie said knowingly. “You are trying to avoid me” “Well sorry to say but when I tell you to stand up, you do despite your mood”. Richie growled flipping the bed sheets over and seeing that it was nothing but a pile of clothes under the bed sheets. "Let's see how it goes." He He bawled, summoning all the servants in the house downstairs. “Where is she!?” “I fear I do not know whom you speak of, sir” Miriam cired shaking and shivering with fear. “Kate”. Richie dragged out slowly. “She is gone. Where is she!?” The men and maid servant shared a look with one another muttering amongst themselves.
John's dead body was dumped right before her eyes and Kate could not express the kind of pains she was experiencing. It was like an arrow pierced in her heart. She felt numb as she dragged her body into the room. She was the cause of John's death, no matter what anybody says. The house was silent like a mortuary for days. The regular activities were still holding, no one dare refuse Richie of feeding nor cleaning. Though they were all mourning John, but that does not prevent them from serving Richie's food. He does not act concerned either. Many say he is evil, when in fact, he is devil himself. "Miriam" he called out on morning. "Arrange a new personal assistant for me. A smart and loyal personal assistant precisely" he added and Miriam bowed her head. She could not believe that he was letting everything go just let that. His personal assistant of 8 years and he was ready to get someone else? This man is truly a psycho. "Yes sir" she said and bowed her head. What can she do?. "Ge
Richie got to room and met Kate sitting on the bed, weakly. His heart soften a bit as he noticed her face all swollen up. He could tell she has been since the incident happened. All blames on her. Why did she involve my personal assistant in her dirty escape? Richie thought. He slammed his hand angrily on the wall since she gas not noticed his entrance since he came in. Kate flinched in fear and he smirked. That's what he wants to see. That's what he likes to see. "Ma.. Master" she shuttered, trying to think of every possible reason why he was in her room but nothing came to her mind except sex. As he saw the fear in her, he felt soft and was moved with compassion. He literally forgot why he was there to start wirh. He glanced around the room and noticed it was not in a good shape. "Would you like to change your room?" He found himself asking against his wish. Kate just stared at him, puzzled. Why the change of room all of a sudden?, she could not help but ask herself. She did not
After so much crying, her eyes felt tired from the constant tears and her head bangs so much like her brain was revolving around her head and hitting the walls of her head. She had no idea of when she slept off on the floor, tired. All thanks to the warm and comfy clothes, she didn't feel cold. *** Kate opened her eyes briefly as she felt she was been carried. She wanted to believe it was a dream until she opened her eyes to see herself being lifted by Richie. Is this a dream?, she asked her self continuously, unable to believe her believe her eyes. She shut her eyes and opened it back and saw the same thing. She pinched herself, yet nothing changed.. She was sure he saw her open her eyes but he didn't say anything. He just touch her face, lips, wipes away the already dry tears from her face and kissed her lips. He tucked her in bed and left after telling her good night. Immediately he left, Kate opened her eyes and stared at the door all through like she has seen a ghost. The sud
Immediately they left, Kate sighed repeatedly. She was made to bath twice for God knows what reason. She stood up from the bathtub and cleared all the candles that were arranged there. "Stupid candles" she muttered. It was going to cause her more harm than good. Harm in the sense that it would make her scrub each and every place the candles were placed. After clearing them, she dumped them in a waste bin in the bathroom. She made ti leave the room when she realized she didn't even come with a towel. Without giving it much thought, she went back to the room naked. After all, it was her room. She was stunned to meet Richie waiting for her with a cup of coffee in his hand. He didn't look away from her body since he enjoy seeing it. He smirked at her as he glanced through her body with his devilish face. She shyly wrapped her hands over her body as she rushed to the closet to get her towel."How are you doing?" Richie asked, making Kate wonder if she heard him well. She titled her head
"Sir, I brought someone to you for accessing" Miriam bowed her head slightly as a young man, obviously in his late 30's followed her behind. It was in the afternoon, just after they finished having lunch and Kate returned to her shell. Richie was sitting on one of the luxurious armchair in the sitting room. Richie raised his eyebrows as he scanned his eyes from the old lady standing, back to the young man behind her. "Yes?" He said, gesturing for her to continue. "You said you're in need of a personal assistant sir" Miriam paused a bit. She wanted to add 'after killing John' but she shut her mouth so she won't be the next victim. She continued, "Here he is sir" "I see" Richie said and chuckled. He accessed the young man poor dressing and could tell he was not in the drug world. "What is your name?" He asked, after checking him out for the hundredth time and wondering what brought him here. After all, he was also wearing a faded jeans trouser and a cheap hoodie. "I doubt he can wo
