Richmond was at the Prime Leisure & Lounge, having a business meeting with one of his newly contracted clients, when he got disturbing news from his assistant, Owen.
"Sir...I think you need to see this. It concerns Mrs Hart and I think she is in serious trouble." Owen whispered to his boss without interrupting the ongoing late business lunch meeting.
Richmond felt his heart skip a bit. He flashed Owen a deadpan stare.
"Get the car started, I will be with you shortly."
"Yes, sir." Owen briskly left.
"Mr Wong, please, I would appreciate it if we could continue with this discussion tomorrow, same time, same venue," Richmond said in an apologetic tone. "I have to leave now to attend to some pressing needs."
"That wouldn't be a problem, Mr Gibson. I totally understand." Mr Wong smiled in appreciation of Richmond's professionalism.
"Until then, have a good evening." Richmond smartly rose to his feet and shook hands with Mr Wong and his associates before swiftly leaving the longue.
Richmond couldn't stop his heart from racing as he hurried over to his car, already stationed by the longue driveway.
A thousand questions clamoured for attention in his thoughts as he pondered on the problem Lola must have gotten into.
"Good day, Sir," Richmond chauffeur opened the door to the back seat of his Lexus LX 600 luxurious car.
"Hmm...." Richmond got into the car and the chauffeur quickly shut the door.
The chauffeur swiftly moved over to the driver's side of the car, got it and drove off in the direction Owen had earlier given him.
"Details..." Richmond spoke in a repressed tone.
Owen cleared his throat before giving Richmond a rundown of the trending viral videos and pictures on social media, alongside some new information he had stumbled upon.
As Owen relayed Lola's traumatic experience and showed videos and pictures of the brutalized beauty, a deadly tsunami of untamed rage swirled inside Richmond. His narrowed eyes darkened and turned bloodshot. His veins were so puffed that he had to release the choking tie around his neck.
"Pull over." Richmond barked at the chauffeur, who instantly maneuvered his way from the busy traffic and parked by the side of the road.
Without waiting for his chauffeur to alight from the car, Richmond climbed down and started pacing by the side of the road like a man on the verge of losing his mind.
He was fuming with so much rage that he wanted to punch a hole through something. A million and one deadly thoughts crossed his heart. He wanted to punish every single person who had dared to lay their filthy hands on a precious soul.
But the one person who first came to Richmond's thoughts was Ian Forde.
"I will slowly make you pay for every pain Lola has experienced today, Ian," Richmond vowed beneath his fiery breath.
Owen on the other hand, who knew his boss too well remained seated in the car. He waited patiently for his boss to overcome the demons eating into his soul before taking the next step.
Having worked for Richmond for the past two years, Owen was aware of the feelings his boss had for Lola Hart. He was also aware that Lola was one of the major reasons why Richmond excessively favoured Brian at the company.
After a few minutes of blowing off steam, Richmond got into the car and started dishing one order after another to Owen.
"Yes Sir... Okay Sir," Owen nodded his head affirmatively. "I will get right on it, Sir."
Owen briskly descended from the car and shut the door.
Taking in a deep breath to sate the raging storm in his system, Richmond brought out his phone and dialed a number.
"Clinton, I need a huge favor from you." Richmond's placid voice was in direct contrast to his vicious aura.
"Anything Richie." A cheerful male voice echoed from the other end of the phone.
"There is currently a trending viral video of a dear friend by the name of Lola Hart. I need you to issue an immediate order to all the social media sites involved, to take down these videos and pictures in the next one hour. Failure to do so would attract a grave lawsuit from the GXL Telecom."
"Consider it done."
"One more thing." Richmond's darkened orb stared beyond the tinted glass of his side window.
"I'm listening."
"I want you to trace the source of the viral video. Have the miscreant arrested and charged to court for intruding on my friend's private affairs."
"Okay, Richie. Any more requests." The initial cheerfulness in Clinton's voice was replaced with sternness.
"That will be all for now." Richmond hung up and made more calls.
Afterwards, he took off his jacket, removed his tie and undid the first two buttons of his inner shirt.
"Matthew, take me to the Royal Bar," Richmond commanded his chauffeur while folding up his shirt sleeve.
"Yes, sir." Matthew started the car engine and drove off in the direction of the Royal Bar.
