“You know him, Sir?” Ralph asked in surprise. “He's some hopeless fellow. What did you do, loser? Don't let me ask again.”“He stole a limitless black card. I'm sure of that,” Ralph volunteered the information. “Limitless black card? How can? Hell no!” Michael stated, visibly flustered. “Let me see it,” he demanded. “No! It's mine and I forbid you from touching it!” Jake commanded. “Forbid? I see you have developed some guts!”Michael received the card from Ralph and looked at it. “It's mine,” Michael said flatly. “Yours? Right. It has the inscriptions J.K on it,” Ralph agreed, without knowing the reason he did that. “Jake, why do you have this card?”“It's mine. That's my initials, Jake Frederick! It's not yours!”“Michael Joel Flynn.” It was then it occurred to Jake that he had the same initials with his senior. Michael had adopted the name, Dors and it scrapped off his real name. Now that they both have the same initials, there was no way out for Jake. “It's yours? How ab
Michael sat on his seat, supporting his head with his hand. He was ruined. His stock has fallen, his business has collapsed, he was sent out of office and he has been summoned to court. All in one day and in that space of two minutes! Who was Jake Frederick? Should he just go and beg Jake, kneel at his feet and pleas for mercy so that all he had will be restored?Hell no! How can he plead with that loser? “Damn it!” he yelled and threw down some files on his table. His phone beeped again and a message popped up. “You have ten minutes to give accounts and vacate the office for a new manager.”Jake Frederick has successfully caused him to loose everything. “You punk! I've always asked you to be careful! It's been days and you have done nothing to save the situation,” Mr Jacob Winters yelled at Vincent. “Pray, give me a little more time, father. I will get things back to normal and also bag a major deal for our company, please, father,” Vincent begged. Jacob had been very angry to
Jake was having breakfast when his phone rang. “Hello, George, good morning,” he greeted the caller. George was his friend and former colleague at his place of work. “Good morning to you too. I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you doing?” George asked. “I'm alright. And you?” “I'm fine. Jake, I got you a new job and it's a high paying job. Do you have any job at the moment?” George was one person who cares about Jake and alway had his back even though they both of them were not well to do and had nothing. There were times he used his meagre salary to treat Jake to a meal especially when his Kent family refused to give him something to eat. He had even accommodated him at some point when he was thrown out of his house. He was sad when Jake was fired but he couldn't do anything since he didn't have the power to save the situation. It was only him who sympathised with Jake when others were mocking him. Now, he had even gone as far as getting him a new job. Jake's heart
Jake stopped mopping immediately and turned to see who it was. He saw a stunning lady who was dressed in a very beautiful cloth. Her skin shone like the sun and her makeup was well done. She looked every inch exceptional. Jake could spot a few drops of water on her expensive and shiny shoes. He hadn't seen her coming, as he was carried away by the music he was humming. “I apologize Miss. I'll wipe it clean,” he apologized and bent low to clean off the dirt on the shoe. “Don't you dare!” she screamed in a shrill voice. “How dare you touch my shoes? Do you think you can afford them? I guess you want to use those filthy and messy hands of yours on my shoes, right? Gosh! This is insane!” she kicked his mopping bucket spilling more water on the floor he had taken time and pain to wipe clean and some touched him in the process. Jake frowned his face and tightened his fists. On a second thought, he realised he was acting like a mere cleaner and not a wealthy man. “Dearest, what's keepin
The following day, Dering ventures was thrown into chaos. A strange rich man had bought the company for millions of dollars! It was the primary gist on the internet and the lips of everyone in Dering ventures. They all waited to see what would become of Dering Ventures after the change of power but the new owner wasn't ready to come public or make any changes in the company. He left things as they were. However, two days later, things changed. Cindy Cooper's family ceased to be the top managers in Dering Ventures, but they were still allowed to retain a lower position in the company management. As if that wasn't enough, the recent contract with the Kent family was declared null and void. It was cancelled outrightly with no room for amendments or revision. Who was this new owner? No one knew. He had only bought the company under legal backings without his private name. Instead, he bought it as a separate legal entity. The Kent family were once again thrown in shambles. First of all,
“Wow. Michael, you are very generous.”“Despite the hard hit, you are still back as a big boy!”“I knew it that it was just a little fuss and the dust would die down. Regardless, you are still the boss.”Michael's friends praised and hailed him when they met that evening. With all these accolades, Michael made a rash promise,“I'll take you all out. Nothing affects me. It was just a fuss as you said. My stock is unlimited!” he bragged. “Great! Let's head out!”“Where are we going to?”“I'll take you to Rosevett!” Michael said. Rosevett was a very expensive relaxation place to hang out in that area. Only the rich and those who had membership cards could afford to go there. “You are not allowed to enter here, sir,” the security man said. “What do you mean by that? Do you know who I am?” Michael bragged. He was with his friends and he didn't want to be embarrassed. He loved showing off and making his friends know that he wasn't in their level. “Your membership card has been revoked.
The room was well illuminated and decorated. The Golden Chandelier cast it's warm golden light on the room, adding taste, class and glamour to it's appearance. The lavish space was tailored to specifically impress the rich and powerful men who often came there for gatherings. It offered an unalloyed air of lavish and sophistication. Sky admired the walls draped in rich velvet and the gleaming marble floors. Men of high class were seated and the gathering was due to begin in five minutes. At the door stood bouncers, who dutifully and strictly checked invitation cards before letting anyone in. Amelia had gruelled at so many's feet just to obtain that invitation for her daughter. Sky promised to do her best. Her dinner gown was beyond description, it was fabulous. She dressed her best that night and she was putting on the latest designs from Aurora weaves. She had a good taste in fashion and she had combined her tastes and styles with the lastest clothes and jewelleries, giving rise to
Mr Reed's girlfriend was a very enviable position and no one who loved her life would lie with that status. Neither will a sane person offend Daniel Reed's girlfriend! The waiter knew these two unwritten yet Golden rules by heart and that was why she didn't waste time to ask Sky for pardon. Sky knew the power of the new position she ascribed to herself. With the triumphant look, Sky walked up the stairs and was soon in front of the said room. She smiled again and got her facial muscles to relax. She had to look her best and be at her best behaviour this time. She pressed the door bell and the door beeped and opened seconds later. “Good evening Master Reed, your food is here,” she announced in her sexiest voice. Daniel was seated on the seat, facing the window and overlooking the lovely flowers in the garden behind his window. When he heard her, he didn't turn. Rather, he pointed at the table, meaning she should drop it there. “How rude! He's not even going to turn to see who it is?
