Sir, She's One Million Dollars

September 2007, New York Richard Underhill sat in his office with his focus on the stock market. It looked good, and much of his investment grew slowly and steadily each day. But Richard had learned to have ice in his stomach over the years since it was easy to sell when the market dropped in fear of losing money, but very often, it would be temporary, and it would rise and pay out later on. Richard logged off the computer and decided to quit for the day and call his friend, Parker, and grab a drink instead in the beautiful weather outside. Richard closed down his office, which he rented in an enormous sky scrape on the thirty-eighth floor of a company that rented out storage space and offices for small companies and one man's company as for himself.

This past week had felt like the most prolonged wait for him, and he had hurried along the papers for the penthouse to be in order.Last week when he spotted her through the elevator, he had spent the following days researching the building and the residents, but he had yet to come across her name. Was she maybe staying with someone? A boyfriend? No. Richard refused to accept that she might be unavailable to him. "We have carried in everything from the truck, sir. Was there anything else?" One of the movers asked and brought Richard out of his thoughts."No, thank you. Here, take this," Richard said, reaching the man one hundred dollar bill. "Thank you, sir," The man said and took the money. The movers left the apartment, and Richard began unboxing his stuff. Candice left the shower and twirled a towel around her chest when she heard the doorbell ring. "Who could that be?" She mumbled and went
