Keeping Up with Him

Richard, a young salesman, quickly pursued the elderly man who had attempted to make a hasty escape. Fortunately, the elderly man had not managed to put much distance between them. Overwhelmed with embarrassment, he expressed sincere apologies for the disgraceful conduct of his colleagues. The elderly man, aware that Richard had not been involved in any of the reprehensible actions, simply smirked and proceeded to unveil the contents of his bag to the astonished young salesman. Richard was left in disbelief as he beheld what lay before him.
