“Attention passengers,” the captain announced, "this is your captain speaking. We are currently beginning our descent into New York City. We expect to touch down in approximately 10 minutes. Please turn off all portable electronic devices and stow them away at this time. In preparation for landing, please ensure your seat belt is fastened snugly, and your tray table is returned to its upright position. If you have any loose belongings, please stow them under your seat or in the overhead compartment. We will have the cabin lights dimmed shortly after landing. The weather is relatively sunny, with a temperature in the 60s°F (around 15 °C).“Lastly, the flight attendants will be coming around shortly to collect any remaining trash. Thank you for choosing British Airways, and we hope you enjoyed your flight,” the captain concluded.Not long after, the plane landed, and the air hostesses made way for the few passengers in business class to exit first before those in economy class.Richard

“Hi, Jasmine.”“Hello, Blade,” Jasmine replied as soon as she picked up the call.“Were you able to get back today like you envisaged?” Blade asked.“Yes, I did. In the afternoon, though.”“Ok, that's fine. How is your brother?”“He is fine. We came back together, but he is at his place currently.”“Ok, that's fine. My boss said I should get the lawyer’s phone number from you, the one you mentioned to us the other time.”“I knew you wanted to say something. You haven't called me and asked me how I am doing,” Jasmine teased. “I knew you were driving at something. So, which of them, if I ask?”“That's hilarious how you would say that anyway,” he chuckled and continued, “the one you explained to us the other day that the Late Lord Rock hired to oppose in the court case against one of the shareholders in the incorporation was having something to do with hard drugs.”“Oh, you mean barrister Lucas Joseph?”“I think so, but you should know better. I can't remember the name, to be precise, bu

“Good evening, Mum,” Jasmine greeted as soon as she got back home from work.Her mom had visited New York without any prior knowledge of neither Nick nor Jasmine. Nick only called Jasmine like 50 minutes ago while she was still at work and informed her that he was taking their mom to her house from his place.Jasmine tried to inquire from his brother why the sudden visit, but Nick explained to her that she is as shocked as she is. Their mom called Nick the moment she got to New York to come pick her up, and Nick did.“I am not trying to sound rude, but the truth is that this visit is quite impromptu, and you know that. You would have at least informed us, let's say, a day or so before coming. That's my candid opinion, Mum,” Jasmine said on a clear note. “What if none of us were in town? Or you didn't think of that?”“Where would you guys leave New York for, in the first place?” Their mom replied, not ready to see the reasons for what Jasmine was saying."But, Mum, that's true. Anythi

Jack got dressed in a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes designed by the company for him, and then in footwear from Prada.Blade had tried to talk him into wearing some designed outfit from these companies, stating to him that one’s outfit goes a long way to speaking for them even before they talk. In Blade’s words, “you must not always dress simple; sometimes dress to kill because you are addressed the way you are dressed.”Jack drove off from his mission and headed to Jasmine’s house with his tinted window Royce Rolls, just at noon.On getting there and trying to pack his car at the garage, he noticed Jasmine alighting from her car after she carefully parked. Jasmine’s mom—Mrs. Winifred—was with Jasmine in the car, but Jack didn't notice her at first because of the parking space arrangement.Mrs. Winifred only admired the car as it drove in while Jasmine was about to pack her car and said to her daughter, “This is the kind of car my son will buy for me now that he is the senator, or if his

“You mean the young man owns that car?” Mrs. Winifred didn't hesitate a moment to ask them—Nick and Jasmine—immediately. They got back after seeing Jack off.“Mum, I am sure you have harbored this question for the longest time, but please…”Mrs. Winifred cut Jasmine off immediately. “I don't know the exact amount of the car, but I know that it's one of the most expensive cars in the world now. I watch the news, and I get updated, even though not as often as you guys.” She continued to express how surprised she was; she couldn't even hide it.“I was almost tempted to tell Jack about what you told me about Richard, but I knew that would only make him feel himself. After all, the person I practically used to rub against his face deals in hard drugs,” Mrs. Winifred added.She was so flabbergasted because what she had thought was a poor man turned out to be a very wealthy man in disguise. She was convinced that no poor man would drive such an exquisite car, not even on rent.“It's better y
