"Global Magazines Company"

 Richmond's POV

We got to the company it was more bigger than that of Rita's. We were welcomed warmly as my escorts marched out of the car. Some people were already outside raising placards with different signs. I immediately remembered the woman who told me to sign on her breast and Jeanne too. I love Jeanne,but now she's so mad at me,I can't bring myself to apologise to her. I'm Richmond Hill for crying out loud. There are lot of women who wants to be my wife so who the hell is Jeanne Ross. I can even have second thoughts about Ann. I looked at her. She's just so sweet and innocent,I can't tell if she likes me or not. But I'm too used to her, she's like a sister to me. I don't know how I will feel if I ask her out. Her voice brought me back to reality. She noticed I glanced at her and she smiled. 

"This way sir. .". She said as we entered the company. They welcomed us warmly and I didn't hesitate to give them that bright smile that got them drooling all over. I was still smiling when a lady bumped into me. 

 Daphney's POV 

I was in the rest room when I heard some noise outside. I peeped from the window a large crowd was outside. Who cares anyways . I made my way to go outside when I bumped into him. I looked up as we both stared at each other. I can't deny the fact that he's handsome. I was lost until he snapped his finger which made me flinch. 

"Heyy... can't you apologize". He snapped his finger right to my face.

"Tcchh.. apologize? I smirked and left his front as he drew me back holding my wrist. 

"I said apologize now. He ordered. Everyone stood aside and watched our drama. 

"Who the hell do you think you are? You fucking bumped into me and you fucking stepped on my toes and you're fucking asking me to apologise? Are you fucking serious?. Wait why do I keep saying this fucking"f" word....I just said that now...and it's all your fault.... Mother Fucker!". I released my wrist from his hand when Anita dragged me away from his presence. I don't actually know how she found her way to that place but I knew she dragged me away telling me to shushh. 

️ Richmond's POV 

It seems, she's a bit mad or a psycho. I held her by her wrist as I watched her lips spit rubbish. I'll make sure I deal with her for harassing me like this. She dares to question me on who I am? Who the hell is she too? She kept using the "f" word for me. She even called me mother fucker.

Everyone stared at us,I don't even know what to do at that moment as I stared deeply into her beautiful eyes full of rage when someone dragged her away from my front. She still yelled at that person. I love psychos . 

"Mr Richmond, thank you so much for coming". A man in his forties spoke to me. I knew he was trying to divert my attention from what that lady just did so it wouldn't be a scandal. He apologized on her behalf but I'll still deal with her later,no one does that and goes scott free. Maybe she secretly likes me. I followed the man silently as the rest of the crowd followed us. I still heard her voice as she yelled at the woman that dragged her.

 Daphney's POV 

Everyone still stared at me wondering if I had gone mad. Thankfully,one of my Superiors came and stopped that scenerio. I still kept yelling at Anita.

"Why did you drag me away from him? I would have beaten his flat ass and make it more flatter...who the hell does he think he is? I flinched.

"He is Richmond Hill". Anita landed.

"I don't give a damn! I said that aloud as everyone stared at me. My boss gave me the "you're in trouble look" .

"Mr Richmond Hill...so sorry for the inconveniences...this way please". Mr Kendrick McCoy said as Richmond followed him . 

"You don't really know who he is do you? Anita asked again.

"Seriously...are you asking me that...I just told you I don't-". I tried to wave hher words off when she interrupted me.

"He is Richmond Hill...a model, a brand influencer and the son of the famous Billionaire....you have really gone mad Daphney". Anita interrupted my words and dragged me away from the crowd that followed Richmond like flies. 

"Anny...I don't care,yeah.... he's cute but who cares? I don't give a damn about guys they're all stupid and useless". I said ,even though I didn't mean those harsh words but still I can't find the right word to qualify my hatred for Richmond Hill. I walked away to my desk and sat down when Drille came.

I didn't tell you about Drille,did I?
