"Sir, we are here." Zane, his driver, and his personal assistant inform him as they got to the front of his company. He open his eyes and sighed before stepping down from the vehicle which the door was already open. He button his suit before taking a step towards the tall and mighty building that always had people who used to know him gasping in shock. Even those that heard the name alone gaps in awe, that's how powerful the legacy he has built in the city of Florida and across the States. He wished his mom were alive to see how far and how well he have done.
She would've been very proud of him if she were alive.
Pulling his thoughts back to reality, Richie strode into the open door with Zane right behind him.
"Good morning, sir" Unending chants from his staff ring in his head like a bell, and he just passed them like he didn't hear any of them. Well, he's not obligated to reply to their greetings.
'This is my company and I can do anything that I want.' He thought to himself while walking down to the elevator
He could feel some of them gaping at the sight of him, especially the ladies. Well, what do you expect, when he's rich, handsome, and single? He's one of them talked about bachelor in the whole of Florida. So, every woman would of course want him to be their man. But that would only be their wish, cause Richie can't imagine himself with any woman at the moment. Unlocking this heart of him would be a miracle that they can never have.
He felt all eyes on him as they walked straight towards the elevator and Zane press the 30th floor. Yeah, that's where Richie's office is located, and he loves the view the so much that he can't wait to get there.
"Zane, how is my schedule like today?" Richie decided to ask the man beside him, to which he wasted no time in replying.
"You have a 10:00 am meeting with the board members and staff of Merchant Company, and after that, you have a lunch meeting with Lady bee."
"Can I skip the meeting with Lady bee?" He sighed loudly, cutting Zane shut. He has the appetite to stomach that woman's flirtatious character. She knows that she'd never get him no matter how much she tried, yet, she would never pass the opportunity to shoot her shot.
"No sir, you can't. You have to have lunch with her." Zane insisted.
'I will just endure it for now. As soon the deal with her is over, I will get rid of her.' He thought in his head while gritting his teeth in irritation, hoping she behaves herself.
Richie momentarily zoned out again, as Zane went ahead to name the rest of his schedule, and he can feel that it was packed judging from the way it was taking an eternity to finish. His mind was occupied with other things as he continued to mention the things he would still remind later on.
The ding sound from the elevator indicated that it was time to get off and he wasted no time in stepping out as he headed towards his office.
"Good morning, sir" He heard a chant from his secretary, and of course, he just went straight to his office without paying her attention.
After a few minutes, a knock came from the door before it was pushed open after giving his permission.
"Sir, here is your coffee." Cora, his secretary announced as she walked over to his desk and placed it.
She waited like she was waiting for his order to go out. Well, he knows she was waiting for any other thing he might need.
"That would be all for now, Cora." He said to her, before grabbing the cup while she headed for the door, after mumbling a 'yes sir'
After having coffee, he was going true his mail and checked some files on his laptop. but he was not able to focus as he was thinking about the meeting with Lady bee and Kendi's trauma.
A few minutes on, a knock came on the door but this time, he ignored it as his mind was occupied with other things. The knock came harder and he couldn't concentrate but give his permission.
Zane his assistant walked in.
"Sir, the board members are waiting for you, Sir. It's already 10:00 am." He ignored Zane his assistant for some seconds, and he keep pressing on his laptop.
He was traumatized by the thought of his girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson and the difficulties his company is going through because of her. He opened his eyes and sighed rapidly before Zane.
"Zane, take these documents to my secretary and join me at the meeting." He said, before grabbing his suitcase while Zane headed for the door immediately, after mumbling a 'yes sir.
Richie, first contract with Leonardo's family. The Merchant Company was terminated because of Kendi. This time, he wouldn't tolerate that, and he pray the meeting comes positive towards the contract.
He marvels how strong Kendra's connection is to have his contract terminated in less than a week.
A few hours later, the meeting was concluded and the board members were excited because they were about to get another devious contract from Merchant Company, and a sample will be presented. But there's a condition Richie must partake in the merger.
The Leonard family asked Richie to tender a public apology to Kendra Wilkinson, his ex-girlfriend before any contract will be merged.
Zane grabbed his suitcase from him while all the staff was gaping at him with smiles on their faces, but he wasn't surprised, and he walk passed them without responding to their regards as Richie's mood wasn't too pleased.
"Zane. What do you think about today's meeting?" He asked Zane his assistant while walking to his office.
"Sir, am happy about the contract agreement to make a merge, but what about the legacy you built over the years? I mean your reputation? What will people say if you tender a public apology to your ex-girlfriend? You have built a strong reputation in this city sir, and people clamored about your company. Aren't you concerned about what people will say and look down on you lowly and snickered?"
Zane answered on a stammering tongue quivering in fear to speak to him in such a way but, Richie, feel Zane was right because he won't jeopardize the legacy he has built in the city over the years, to tender a public apology to his ex-girlfriend. But on second thought, he needed the coalition to move his company to greater heights to have power and more connection in the business world.
