CHAPTER 49

Richard got up to a video call with Lucas, one person he hadn't spoken to in a long time. The man had proved to be loyal for over ten years, unlike Timothy who had hit it off with his daughter leading to his untimely death which Richard would have awarded him if Helen had failed at doing so.

"How are you sir?" his voice pierced past the laptop screen

"I'm fine. My mind is just all over how are you? I haven't spoken to you in days."

"I'm fine sir. Still in shock over what happened with Timothy. Its his burial today you heard right? No friend or relative popped up so he is being buried by the state."

"Serves him right. That's what happens to traitors." he sighed and sipped on a glass of juice. A screeching silence followed with Richard totally in his head. He was failing to be himself even amidst his workers, he felt like a failed father all in all

"Boss, you are not okay are you?" asked Lucas after a while
