Richard still couldn't stand the idea of being in fancy places. No matter how many years passed since the
last less than pleasant experience, he still couldn't come around to enjoy them. Money and status hardly

"Gustavo. I'm so glad that you could come on such short notice. I wouldn't have chosen to bother you if the matter weren't important." Richard stood to greet the suave looking businessman. He shook his hand and gave the other a pat on his shoulder before motioning for him to take a seat.
"All has been well with you my friend?" Richard smiled fondly at the Italian man who briefly returned the gesture.
