FIVE
THE HILL'S MANSION
_Richmond's POV_
"Mom... I'll get a wife for you so keep a low profile". I said coming out of her room as she followed me.
She had pretended to be sick so I'll come visting but I know all her tactics, that's what she uses,I mean her charm to make me come see her.
"Son...when will that happen? You're my only son, I'm aging already and I'll soon die-"
"Mom...no body is dying okay...and if you die,we have the best family doctors that will resurrect you so please.. stop , I'll bring her tomorrow". I said without thinking.
Then I thought for a minute,OMG....who am I deceiving.. Mom's gonna kill me once she finds out I'm kidding.....wait a minute, Jeanne.... that's right, she's the one" .
"Mom...I need to go now, right Ann? I faced my PA who was seated on the couch drinking coffee. I know the reason why Mom insists I brought Ann along whenever I'm coming home to visit her.
"Yes sir... your next meeting is with the Birchwood Magazines by 10am" . She smiled glancing through her tablet.
Ann is very beautiful,I mean really beautiful and she comes from a good background, we're kinda close a bit,she knows everything about me and most importantly that I can't date her. She's way out of my league. If I go out with her,then that's for primary purpose... I'll do the usual and sack her. But she has been my best PA so far ,she never admires me at all, unlike the other PA'S they made advances at me... that's how handsome I am.
"Hello...Ann".
Mom said, ignoring me as she moved over to Ann giving her a big hug, that's unusual with all of my PA'S . Mom has taken a special likeness for Ann and she wants me to marry her ,but that can only happen in her dream.
"Hi...Mrs Hill... thanks for the coffee, I'll take my leave now ma'am ". She said politely. She's always so polite as she headed towards the car,which was parked outside with my driver in it.
"She's beautiful....I know". I said, interrupting Mom's words as she looked back. I knew she was gonna say that ,with that look ,it is boldly written on her face and that smile playing on her lips....I know that smile.
"She's the perfect match , Richmond". She smiled holding my arms, that's the only height she reached ,arms length .
"Mom...cut the crap....Ann is my PA, besides she's like a sister to me,my younger sister for crying out loud". I groaned and adjusted my tie.
"Son...I didn't give birth to any other child other than you so stop claiming her to be your sister at all....". She shouted flinging her small shoulders in the air which made me laugh.
"Richmond Hill.. it's not funny" . She grunted and sat on the chair.
"Mom... don't worry,if you'd stop disturbing me about that talk.. I'll bring a wife soon" . I bent down and kissed her forehead and bidded her goodbye as I moved out, I blew her a kiss again as she frowned .
"Ann....let's go". I said to her as we both entered my car ,my driver was in it before so we zoomed off to Birchwood Magazines... headed by Rita Birchwood.
Rita Birchwood,a very beautiful and elegant model,a mother of two and a divorcee. She maintains her beautiful self despite what happened to her,I can't marry nor date her,her husband had already opened the cover so there's nothing more to look at. We even went to the same primary school and she was this poor pauper then, she just rose up and became a model who got married and had two kids.
How can she be so gullible to get married and make useless commitments? I scoffed .
That commitment made her husband cheat on her and she divorced him, taking her kids with her,she actually threw him out of her house and moved on. Everyone knows the story .
At last,we got there.
_-BIRCHWOOD MAGAZINES-_
That was the bold inscription that welcomed us first. Truth be told, that is one big metallic office. It is covered in silver metals and glass.
I alighted from the car with my secretary . I had four securities with me. They came down too as they surrounded I and Ann and few others from my office.
"OMG...!!! He's so cute".
"I'll get him to sign this..."
"Richmond Hill. I'm in love with you"
"Our little god"
They all squealed as my securities obstructed them from touching me.
I decided to stop and sign whatever they wanted me to sign. Celebrities stuff!
A lady came over to me screaming my name,with half opened breast.
"Sign on this place... it's all yours if you want it" . She smiled giving me that seducing look every lady possess. I collected the pen from her and wrote my name on her half opened breast .
"OMG....he just signed on my breast". She ran off like a mad woman. I shaked my head as I watched her leave amidst the crowd.
"Richmond Hill.. we love you". They screamed.
"I love you all too....I said and took my handkerchief as I threw it to them. They were like hungry lions as they rolled on the floor fighting over my handkerchief.
I laughed and entered the company as Rita's workers welcomed me warmly and I responded by giving them that warm smile that melts their hearts. They all drooled I even heard one of them say.
"He's so cute that I wish he was gay".
"WTF...gay? That's the last thing I'll ever do..I gave him a mean look he only smiled at me. Then I heard a familiar voice .
"Hello... Richmond, it's been a while". The voice which was feminine and familiar said.
I looked back to behold the beautiful Rita. I stood there glancing at her as she gave me time smiling as well.
"Come over here lad...." She said hugging me tight.
"Hey.... Wow! Rita you look more prettier than the last time we met, during your wedding" . I said as she withdrew from the hug and we headed to her office with Ann and few others from my office while the securities stayed outside.
"Awwwn and you don't look bad either,you look more taller...." She laughed. And she was right,I was short and often bullied even though my Dad was rich ,but Rita was my angel in the darkest moments. She was way taller than I am and she was fat.
"Yeah. I know, don't start what you won't finish girl ". I said playfully wrapping my arms around her neck. She giggled and slapped my butt.
"You know I'm still permitted to do this right? She slapped it again as we both laughed.
"I hate you..". I cussed and removed my hand from her neck.
"Awwwn.....I love you little brother,now get your head over here now....I have another place to go to" . She said as she instructed her workers to do some stuffs .
I dressed up and was looking stunning as usual. I took the pictures and I took some with her as well . She promised to hang it in front of her office and make all ladies drool.
I left there some minutes later as I entered my car with the aid of the securities, because of the hungry crowd waiting to meet Richmond Hill.
"Phewww....that was close". I said as I entered the car giving Ann a hand to enter the car.
"What's my next appointment? I said glancing at my phone.
"The Global Magazines". Ann said glancing at my Tablet which she held firmly.
"Okay...I need to refreshen up, let's go to my hotel first". I said as we all headed to my hotel.
News spread so fast ,It was already on social media and the internet that I visited Rita Birchwood. Some even made comments that something is between us. They would never change. And yes,the lady I signed on her breast also commented with a picture of her signed breast.
Who cares anyways. That does not change the fact that I'm Richmond Hill.
