A familar stranger

Richard woke up earlier than Usual that morning, as he opened his eyes and saw the morning sunshine he smiled. He has always loved looking at the early morning sun ever since he was little. He got down from his bed, dressed for work and ate his breakfast in his room, he wore his face mask, grabbed his backpack and left his three rooms apartment to where he boarded a taxi. Richard wasn't poor, in actual fact he owned a large company and could afford a mansion for himself or more, but he choose to leave in his small apartment. His mother had called him a few days ago to visit them for it had been fifteen years since he left their house. Richard agreed that he would come stay with them for a few days when his mother told him about how his sisters memory of him was beginning to fade, although he didn't want to admit it but he too couldn't clearly remember his mother and sister features. When Richard got to the company, he greeted hos employees although most of them didn't know he was the owner of the company. Some of them thought he might be the CEOs' assistant cause they had seen him working in the CEOs' office so they respected him. While some who had visited his house but had no knowledge of him being the owner of the company thought he was too poor to be the CEOs' assistant although he was always well dressed, they still looked down at him, mostly the men. Richard had always been admired by women for his good looks, that's why he never leaves his house without his face mask. Richard had long eye lashes which most of the women envied,he had sexy lips that could tempt a person just by looking at it, blue eyes that looked seductive, sharp jawline, really fair skin and long blonde hair.In his company, Richard only had one friend, his friend since high school, Evielyn.Evie was the only person who knew Richard was the owner of the company, and because of their friendship,Richard had made her his assistant.Most people in the company suspected Evie to be the owner of the company, well Evie was obviously the belle in their company and the men worshipped her like she was some goddess.Evie had always wondered why Richard had never ask her out since high school Back then she was the most beautiful girl in the school and during prom she had been choosen as prom queen and Richard prom king.
