THE COST OF THE PRIDEJack and Jane got into the house and looked around.“ I think it's time for you to choose one of the rooms for yourself.You are free to choose any of them” Jack said as he looked at her.“ What?!” Jane asked as she looked at him.Jack did not say anything. Instead, he nodded as if to confirm what he had just said.“ Wait, I can't sleep alone in one room. This is a new house and I can't do that. I will be scared” Jane said.Jack looked at her with a raised eyebrow.“ How? I don't think there is anything here to be afraid of, besides you were living all alone in your previous house” Jack asked in surprise“ Yes, I know, but that was a much smaller house, and I could show it is. This house is a very big one and I am very scared living alone in a room and besides it's a new house” Jane said with a serious faceAt first, Jack thought that Jane was trying to make fun of him, but upon seeing her serious face, he knew she was very serious and meant what she had just s
STRANGE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONSThe tone in which Mr David said that was a sad one.“ Well, from the investigations made by the firefighters, the cause of the fire was not an ordinary one. They found bases of sulfuric acid in the place.That would only mean one thing, that it was intentionally done by someone. Someone intentionally poured sulfuric acid into one of the openings, and it dissolved and caught fire. so it could possibly be one of the workers. As of now, i dont know of anyone who could have done that” Mr David said.Jack heaved a sigh and nodded.“ Alright, thank you for this I will work on it and make sure everything is in order.” Jack said.“ Okay sir”“ Well, thank you, Mr David, I really appreciate your help and effort. Thank you” Jack said in appreciation.“ You are welcome, sir,” Mr David replied.Jack hung up the phone and smiled.He heaved a sigh and shook his head.His plan and everything were in order and were moving perfectly so he could not help but admire
CAUGHT STARINGJack emerged from the bathroom and looked at Jane as she sat on the bed.She was already dressed up and looked like she was ready. Jack could not help but admire the beautiful face of the lady who sat at the edge of his bed.He stopped in his tracks as he stared at her sheepishly.As he kept staring, his eyes unconsciously met with her and subsequently locked up in a moment. It was very obvious that she was also staring at him, and they had met with their eyes.After a few seconds, they broke off from the lock, and Jack grinned.He needed to do something to cover up the uneasiness and clear the aura.He quickly got his phone from beside her and operated it for a few seconds.He walked closer and pointed the phone to her.“ There are some images of some restaurants. You can choose the one you would like us to go to” Jack said as he pointed the phone to her.He noticed that there was no movement from Jane for a second.Looking at her, he realized she was still stari
LET THEM BE“ Okay then, close your eyes,” Jack said.Jane obeyed at once and tried to touch the phone screen.She could do that effortlessly, but because she had her own plans, she intentionally moved her hand away from the screen, as though she was unable to touch the screen. Jack noticed that Jane was having a hard time locating the screen with her eyes closed.He held her hand and directed it to the phone screen.He left it and watched it as she clicked on a picture. Jane had intentionally acted as though he was unable to touch the phone screen.Just as she was expecting, a tender and manly hand held hers and directed it to the face of the screenA smile played on the corners of her mouth, but she forced it back.She finally touched the screen, and the picture opened.“ I think you can open your eyes now and see what you chose” she heard Jack say.She quickly opened her eyes and looked at the screen.There was something in Jack's hand beside her own hand.Her focus was now dire
MAYOR AMBROSEJack and Jane had already entered the big restaurant and sat down.Jan began admiring the restaurant right from the outside.The lights around that place were enough to make you see when a pin fell down.Everywhere was shining bright with lights. And the inside of the room looked nice too.When they walked in, Jane could not help but murmur softly ‘ wow’.The inside of the restaurant was just breathtaking.The air condition was on full blast, and the place was as cool as it could be.There were paintings on the wall beautifully crafted.The interior decor in the room was one of a kind and was top-notch.They had decorative lights hanging above them, which changed colors slowly every time.The tables in the restaurant were all arranged nicely and had been decorated nicely..There were flowers on each table there.The place smelled very good.Jane wondered what they had put there that released that kind of good fragrance.There was a cool The waiter's around were all dres
A PLAN THAT WORKS“ I think you have a point here” Jane said and heaved a sigh. “ So can i know what happened exactly” Jack askedHe had already parked the car totally and had switched off the engine.Jane finally began speaking about what really transpired between the mayor and her mother“ It all started when my mother went in looking for a job just so she could take care of me. She happened to meet a man who then was the mayor of this city. With her desperation to get a job for herself, she approached the man and spoke to him about helping her get a job. Fortunately, this man happened to have about three companies in the city and could easily help her get a job. My mum was so excited not knowing that the man had some other plans.He promised to give my mother a job and told her to report the next day to start work as a waiter in his restaurant.My mother got to the job the next day and was invited by the mayor to his office to have a word with her before she could start the j
NOT HERE PLEASEJack and Jane had reached the house and were having a discussion in the living room.Jack was narrating to her how he was intending to deal with the mayor who killed Jane’s mother.Jane was listening attentively to what Jack was saying, although she had her own doubts as to whether or not the whol;e plan was going to work.She was somehow optimistic about the whole thing and had confessed it to Jack, but Jack was very sure his plan was going to work.After their discussion, which turned out to be a very short one, Jack went for his laptop and came back to sit down with her.“ We have to try and send the messages today to all of our clients and our business partners as well as all of our workers.They need to know and understand what is going on here” Jack said as he began drafting the message on the laptop.Right after that, he opened a page and handed the laptop to Jane.“Those are the files of all the people who work in our company, and then that of
GROW UP“ Can i speak to you for a minute in private please” George said and signalled him..Mr Daniel shot him a deadly look and nodded.Tracy was looking at the two of them in turns, wondering what was going on.She had seen that George was not comfortable with the way his father was speaking in her presence.George stood up from his seat, and Mr Daniel stood up too.“ Excuse me, babe, we will be back soon” George told Tracy as he led the way with his father back into the living room.“ Dad, what was the meaning of that back there?” George asked. He was furious about what had gone on at the dining table“ And what do you mean by that question? What is the meaning of what?” Mr Daniel fired back.“ Why would you have to say that in front of my girlfriend? This should be said between me and you” George said with a serious face.“ What difference does it make anyway? It does not make any difference dies it?. You have vowed never to listen to me anyway, right? I Hav
