A jet dark hair lanky man stood by the door scared to walk through those doors and embraced the ire of Richard.
His name is Luke and he is the personal assistant of Richard Hernandez - a dominant billionaire.
"Should I just go back and come back later?" Luke asked himself, he made to leave, but he halted his feet.
"Maybe I should just face his anger and find a way to stop the rumors" Luke nodded with a smile.
He took a deep breath and he mustered up courage and entered the office of Richard.
The moment he entered, a mug would have landed on his head, if he wasn't skilled enough to dodge what Richard intended on doing to him.
"Why is the whole of Las Vegas talking about me? Since when did I become a gay? And why is everyone believing such a dramatic rumor?" Richard asked so many questions at a time, his voice boiling in anger, and his face darkened.
"I'm sure is easy for them to believe you are gay. Come to think of it, the founder of the most successful hotel in Las Vegas has never been caught in a dating ru…."
"Complete that word from your mouth and I swear, I'm going to disfigure your throat" Richard's baritone voice said, meaning every word he just phrased out.
Luke swallowed what he intended on saying, he knows Richard can't say what he can't do.
If he said he is going to blow off your skull with a bullet, he is definitely going to do so.
He wasn't just the owner of Glamour Empire Hotel, but also a CEO of an automobile company owned by his father - Julio Hernandez.
In the business world, Richard has done despicable things just to be at the top, and with his handsome face as cold like the devil, he is greatly feared by his business rivals.
Luke just stayed quiet, waiting for Richard to speak, cuz he wasn't ready to face Richard's wrath.
"Find out the mad man who made that stupid post online. He is going to be a dead meat when I lay my eyes on him" Richard's eyes darkened with fury.
"I tried locating where the post was made, but since the post was made anonymously, it's difficult to trace his location" Luke said.
"If you don't find out who this anonymous person is, within twenty-four hours, you will take his place. You know me, Luke, I don't joke with my words" Richard voice said, sending fearful shivers down Luke's spine.
"I will dig more into it, Boss" Luke quickly leaves to get Richard's order done.
Despite Richard's cold attitude, he is reluctant in resigning from his job.
Richard's clenched his fists, his veins popping out from his neck, indicating the massiveness of his anger.
"Who ever you are, you better pack your bags that you'd take to your grave" Richard snorted.
His phone rang, and it was a call from his dad.
"Come to the main house, we need to talk" The old man said over the phone.

A fairly tall, quite slim, curvy, beautiful girl with fringe hairstyle stepped out of the airport, with a smiling face.
She was holding a luggage in her right arm, her small bag crossed over her shoulders.
She has a bubbly dazzling smile that lights up the room!
The beautiful fragrance of Las Vegas penetrates inside her nostrils, and she spread her arms apart.
"Welcome to Las Vegas, Kristin Santiago!" She giggles excitedly.
Kristin was happy to finally be in Las Vegas, after working endlessly to be able to come up with the fees.
"Now that I am here in Las Vegas, I'm going to work out my butt if I need to, and send money to my parents in Glenwood"
"I love you, Las Vegas!" She spines around laughing, not minding the people watching her.
She got hold of her luggage again, and left the airport completely, in search of the cheapest house to rent.

A skinny, shoulder length hair woman probably in her late 50's angrily dropped a news paper on the table.
"The whole of Las Vegas is talking about the Hernandez's family, what are you going to do about it Julio? Our reputation is at stake thanks to your son!" Ophelia raged in anger.
From her voice, you could easily tell she loathes Richard a lot, and to make it worse, Richard doesn't give a fûck about her.
She is the wife of Julio, a vicious and scheming woman.
"I'm sure there's a mixed up of mistakes, Richard can't be gay".
