Girl In The City

6.| He wants you.

"What are you doing in my office?" I fold my arms over my chest, glaring daggers at her.

"Relax slut. I'm actually not here for you. I'm here for Keegan." She stands up and sits on the corner of the desk's edge.
"Annalise isn't happy." She says looking bored and I furrow my eyebrows.

Who's Annalise?

"And what does that have to do with me?" Mr. Richardson finally speaks from beside me.

"Either you give her more money or she goes public on what happened." She looks up to meet his eyes.

"She can't do that. She signed a non-disclosure agreement. She tells anyone else, she will get sued, guaranteed." He says through gritted teeth.

Still not able to comprehend what's going on, I turn to Mr. Richardson.
"Mr. Richardson, what is she talking about?" I question confused as hell.

"Nothing you need to know about." He dismisses me rudely. "Go home. I'll see you on Monday at 8." He says coldly and I stand there frozen unable to understand what on earth is going on. "Dismissed." He says and I'm still frozen on my spot. "Leave. Now." He deadpans and I blink a few times before making my way out.

I rush down to the elevator and press the ground floor button.
The elevator stops at the 58th floor and I sigh in exasperation not wanting anyone in my personal space.

In walks the guy I met earlier, Derrick.

"Leaving already?" He says when he enters.

"Something like that." I say softly almost in as a whisper.

"Didn't you just get to work?" He asks, curious.
"I did but I was dismissed." I emphasize the 'dismissed.'

"What'd you do for that to happen?" He chuckles. "Nothing. His ex-wife showed up and..." I drift off.

"Oh, that again." He rolls his eyes and I furrow my eyebrows.

"What do you mean by 'that again'?" My curiosity grows.

He chuckles. "Seems like you're not like the other PAs." He chuckles again. "Richardson has a history in sleeping with his assistants. His previous assistant caught feelings and thought that they could be a...couple." He shakes his head. "Richardson said that he couldn't do relationships, at least not after Margaret. Anna got upset and threatened to tell the press about their little business with pleasure scheme and all. Richardson fired her but she lawyered up. They agreed to signing a non-disclosure agreement, stating that she may not go to any press or reporters, as long as Richardson pays her a total of about 500 million to 800 million." He shrugged.

As I take in all that information, my mouth lies on the floor in shock and surprise.
I blink a couple of times before closing my mouth and ajusting myself.

I clear my throat and look at Derrick. "If the assistant is the one with the non-disclosure agreement, why is Margaret here?" I question.

"See a few years back, Margaret did something bad. I can't say what it is but she did something bad and that bad thing costed her, her career. She was stripped of her medical liscence and taken to jail for about a year only because Richardson pulled a few strings that she doesn't go to jail for a while." He rolls his eyes in irritation. "Margaret and Richardson have this tendencies of have casual sex and in return Richardson would give her money to support herself."

"So she was basically his personal prostitute?" I cut in and he chuckles.

"Something like that, yeah." He chuckles again. "Soon their casual sex stopped as Margaret got a boyfriend. Richardson said that he couldn't let her do what she did to him to her new boyfriend. Richardson stopped giving her money, he only paid the needed amount of child support. Margaret...she wasn't satisfied."

"So let me guess, she went to the assistant and they teamed up?" I say amd he smiles.

"Ding, ding, ding. But there's more to that." He says and I furrow my eyebrows. "Margaret's blackmailing Richardson with some serious ass shit. I can't say what it is but it's serious. It could actually take Richardson to jail and bring this whole company down." He says and just as I'm about to ask more the elevator opens at the ground floor.

He smiles at me and walks out.
I catch up to him and stop him.
"Wait!" I say. "Why'd you tell me all that? You don't even know me." I say and he lets out a short laugh.

"Richardson wants you." He says and leaves.

I stand there, stunned with my mouth slightly open.

Richardson wants you.
He wants you.

Hi guys. You've reached the end of the chapter.
I'm sorry for the short chapter but I'll be updating soon. Most probably later today or tomorrow.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Tell me what ypu guys think about this whole chapter. Scandal, right?

Word of advise: hold on to the fact that Margaret is blackmailing Richardson with some serious things that could bring down the company.
You'll need it later.

Anywho, thank you for reading.
