After the phone call, Martins fixed a meeting with Jasmine at the park. Jasmine could sense that Martins had nothing against her, through their conversation over the phone, so she decided to honour Martins' invitation.Jasmine sat on a bench at the park enjoying the cool breeze and the beautiful scenery. It had been a while since she had visited this place, and she found it comforting to be surrounded by nature. She was lost in thought when she heard someone call her name."Jasmine? Is that you?"She turned around to see Martins walking towards her. She hadn't seen him in a while, not since he graduated. "Martins! Oh my gosh, it's been so long. How are you?" Jasmine stood up, as Martins moved close to give her a handshake."I'm good, thanks. It's great to see you too," Martins replied, shaking her hands and smiling, and then the both of them sat down on a bench.They chatted for a while, catching up on old times. Eventually, Martins asked her a question that had been bothering him s
Nurse Dora called Vera over the phone and asked her to come to the hospital. When Vera arrived, she took her aside and told her that Donald had been faking his sickness. Vera was shocked and couldn't believe what she was hearing."How did you find out?" Vera asked Nurse Dora."I overheard Donald and the doctor discussing it," Nurse Dora replied. "It seems like he was doing it to get your attention."Vera was confused. She couldn't have thought that. Donald would go that length because of her. "Why would he do that?" she asked."I think he loves you," Nurse Dora said. "He must have wanted to see you."Vera didn't know what to think. She knew who Donald was. He was probably doing all he could to get her attention, so he could sleep with her and later break up with her as he did with his previous relationships. "And I think you should talk to him. He has been asking about you," Nurse Dora continued.Vera was hesitant but decided to go and see Donald. When she walked into his room, she f
Linda was sitting at her desk, scrolling through Dub's Instagram profile. She sighed as she saw a picture of him and Amelia, his girlfriend, together. She turned to her friend, Jasmine, who was sitting next to her."I don't understand why Dub is still with Amelia, despite all that happened on the wedding day. I don't think I can just continue to sit and watch," said Linda. I could imagine how I would feel if I and Dub were together. We have so much in common," she continued."Linda, you just have to be patient till we make this happen. I'll make sure that Dub falls in love with you at the end," Jasmine replied. "But I can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to do something to get his attention, even though I know you're also working to help me." Linda said."So tell me; what are you thinking?" Jasmine asked. "Errm...I don't know. I just think that maybe I can stalk him and send him pictures of myself every day, and also pictures of himself." Linda said."Wow! You're such a smart
Two weeks had passed since Donald was discharged from the hospital. He had been eager to hear from Vera, but she had not contacted him. He tried calling her several times, but her phone was not going through. He was worried about her, but he had to move on with his life.One Saturday afternoon, Donald was sitting in his apartment, feeling lonely and depressed. He had been thinking about Vera all day, wondering where she could be and why she had not called him. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He decided to call Cecil, Vera's friend, and see if she could help him get in touch with Vera.Donald dialled Cecil's number and waited anxiously for her to pick up. After a few rings, she finally answered."Hello?" Cecil said."Cecil, it's Donald," he said, trying to sound confident."Donald? Oh, hi. How are you doing?" Cecil asked, sounding surprised."I'm doing okay. Listen, I need your help. I've been trying to get in touch with Vera, but I can't reach her. Do you know where she is?"
Dub felt very desperate to leave Linda's room, even though it was late in the night, so he kept on pacing back and forth. "You should stay the night," Linda said, pouting. "We can watch a movie or something.""Let me have the keys and get out of this room," Dub said as he stared at her in anger."Come on, it'll be fun," Linda said, putting her arm around him.Linda wasn't having it. She kept insisting that he stay and wouldn't take no for an answer."I need to go!" Dub said, starting to feel uncomfortable."No, you can't leave," Linda said, blocking the door. "I don't want you to go."As the night wore on, Dub started to feel increasingly uncomfortable. He didn't like feeling trapped or controlled by someone else. So, he decided to make a break for it and tried to leave.But Linda wasn't having it. "You're not going anywhere," Linda said, her voice getting louder.Desperate, Dub started to try to force the door open. He was willing to do anything to get out of there. Linda noticed the
Rodney Yale paced back and forth in his office, his hands trembling with anger and disbelief. He had just received news that the board of directors had decided to remove him as the CEO of Ferex Company.He couldn't believe it. He had worked for the company for over five years, and this was the thanks he got.Feeling defeated, he picked up his phone and called his parents, Mr and Mrs Yale. "Mom, Dad, I don't know what to do. I've been sacked from my job," he said, his voice shaking with emotion."Oh, Rodney. We're so sorry to hear that," his mother said sympathetically. "What happened?""The board of directors said that my leadership had not led to the growth of the company, but had caused a regress," Rodney explained."That's terrible, son. We're here for you, and we'll do whatever we can to help," his father said, trying to reassure him.Rodney appreciated their words, but he couldn't shake the feeling of failure. "I don't know what to do now. I need to find another job, but the job
Vera sat in her room, staring at her phone. She had been thinking about Donald's request to be in a relationship with her for the past week. He had been sending her text messages, assuring her that he was serious about taking their relationship to the next level. Vera had always liked Donald, but she was hesitant to get involved with him.Nurse Dora, Vera's friend, had been encouraging her to give Donald a chance. "He cares about you," Dora had said. "He went to the extent of faking an illness just to spend time with you. That's how much he loves you."Vera couldn't deny that Donald's actions had shown love, but she was still unsure. She had been hurt in the past, and she didn't want to get hurt again. She didn't want to put her heart on the line, only to have it broken.But as she sat there, staring at her phone, she began to think about what Nurse Dora had said. Maybe she was being too cautious. Maybe she should give Donald a chance.Donald had been waiting anxiously for Vera's res
Jasmine was sitting in her living room, staring blankly at the TV when Martins called her."Hey, Jasmine. What's up?" Martins asked.Jasmine sighed. "Nothing much. Just trying to come up with another way to get rid of Dub."Martins sounded intrigued. "Do you have an idea?"Jasmine hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Well, I was thinking, what if we used Lori to blackmail Dub?""Lori?" Martins asked. "What do you mean?"Jasmine explained her plan to Martins. Lori was a member of their gang, and she had a history of getting into trouble. They would arrange for Lori to approach Amelia and tell her that Dub had raped and disciplined her. Lori would have evidence to back up her claim, and she would even go to the police to report the incident. If Amelia believed Lori's story, she would break things off with Dub, and he would be out of their lives for good.Martins was silent for a moment before speaking. "Jasmine, that's dangerous. We could get into serious trouble if we go through wi
