SOFIA

To be honest, there were two things I expected to happen when Richard reached my side. When he loomed over me like a great shadow.

One, I kinda expected that he might raise his hands on me. I've heard the rumors, it was actually one of the things 'City Burn' covered during the Rosa Ross scandal that most other news pamphlets and magazines didn't.

City Burn speculated that Richard, when angry, often laid hands on Rosa. And when Rosa was asked during an interview, she didn't deny it even though she made no comment.

I knew I had made him very angry, I could see it in his eyes as he watched me. He was pissed as fuck.

If he slapped me or laid his hand on me, it won't matter much especially if I decide to take legal action. I have seen and read news where rich and powerful men like Richard Wellington, harass or assault a woman and the punishment is just a menial payment of fine.
