Michael had been faring well at 'Turners and Associates', and his relationship with Rose seemed to be growing stronger by the day. Rose was from a very poor and ruthless family, even though she paraded herself as the child of rich parents. She had pretended to Michael to be rich, even though she was very poor. From the day Michael stepped into Turners and Associates, Rose had her eyes on him, especially when she heard that his father owned 'The Class of Verity'. She believed that her family's lot could be turned around for the better through Michael's family wealth and affluence. Unknown to Michael who Rose truly was, he gave his heart to her, believing that very soon, she would introduce him to the rest of her family members.The two of them were together after the close of work, and Micheal led her to where he had parked his car. "Work was so hectic today," Michael remarked. "Yes, it was," Rose replied as the both of them entered Michael's car. He sat in the driver's seat, while Ros
Gerald's health had improved very greatly and Stephanie was planning on returning to work. She had been able to get a job before Gerald fell sick, but in recent days, she felt very lonely, so she believed that the best thing she could do was to return to work to keep her mind busy. She planned to make Gerald resume back to his creche. She slept early so that she could wake up early the following day.The next morning she dropped Gerald at his creche and got to work very early. After a short leave from work, she had some piled-up work which she needed to attend to. After working for what seemed like a while, she checked the wall clock in her office, and saw that it was already 3 p.m. "What?!" She muttered under her breath. She never knew that the time had been so far spent. She was so engrossed with work, that she missed her break time. She had one more hour to go, so she left the not-so-important things to attend to the very important things.While still on them, she heard her phone r
Almost immediately after Mr Cameron and Stephanie had hugged themselves very passionately, Stephanie tried to lose herself from his grip. "I have to go now," Stephanie said, as she opened the door of the room to go out into the sitting room. She thanked Mirabel and took Gerald from her, and then she left the house to go. On getting home, Stephanie began to ruminate over all that had happened during the day. She thought about the birthday surprise, the gifts Mr Cameron gave her which she had left behind, and how they hugged each other intimately. Unavoidably, she had begun to develop feelings for Mr Cameron. While she was still thinking about him, she heard a knock on the door. She went to open the door and saw a man standing at the entrance with a medium-sized box in his hands. He was also holding a bunch of keys. "Sorry to disturb you at this time, Ma. You forgot your box of gift and car behind, so Mr Cameron sent me to bring them to you," the man said, handing over the box and car
Jakes had been exonerated from Michelle's blackmail at "The Legends", and most of the staff began to doubt her other claims. Some even believed that there was no sexual relationship between her and Jakes, and she only blackmailed him by saying that he slept with her. Many other company staff also debunked the rumour that Jakes stole from the company's money to meet his immediate needs and wants.Now, Jakes was beginning to regain his self-image at "The Legends;" however, Stephanie was yet to discover the real truth about Michelle's pregnancy. He had tried to contact her on different occasions, but she was not responding to his calls and text messages. He had missed her very greatly, and he was now desperate to get her back. It was a Monday evening after work, Jakes determined to try Stephanie's phone number again this time, peradventure he would be lucky to hear her voice. After dialling her number for a while, he discovered that the line was connected, indicating that she had picked
Michael was determined to return to "The Class of Verity" as its CEO. He decided to call his Mum about it. Mrs Allison had always kept in touch with Michael to find out about how he was faring. Though they had not seen physically for a long time, they never joked about speaking over the phone. Michael picked up his phone to call his Mum. After Mrs Allison's phone had rung for a while, she picked it up. "Hello, Michael. How are you today?" Mrs Allison asked her son."I'm fine, Mum," Michael responded. "Are you free at the moment? I'll like to discuss something with you." Michael said. "Of course, I'm free. Go on, I'm listening," Mrs Allison said. "I heard that 'The Class of Verity' has been reopened. Is it true?" Michael asked. "Yes, it is son. What about it?" Mrs Allison asked. "But why didn't you tell me, Mum? I got to know from a friend." Micheal said. "Yes, I chose not to tell you, because I know that you may want to make attempts to return to the company..." "So, what's wrong wi
Stephanie began to cry uncontrollably. She felt remorse for taking the step she took with Mr Cameron. But when she saw that Mr Cameron was moving closer to her, she quickly stood up from the bed, picked up her bag and left the room. Mr Cameron felt very disappointed at Stephanie's attitude, and in all that had just happened; however, he was determined not to give up on her. "I won't stop, until I have my way with her," Mr Cameron told himself. ********Michael discovered that he hadn't heard anything from John and Lucas in the past few days. They hadn't called him to give him feedback after John told him that 'The Legends' board of directors were about to sit to decide on Jakes. So, he began to dial John's number; after a while, the phone was picked up at the other end. "Hello, Mr John," Michael spoke. "Hello," John responded. "This is Michael Allison speaking..." Michael introduced himself. "Yes, I know," John responded. Michael was surprised at John's cold response, even though he
Stephanie began to think of returning to Jakes. She had begun to miss him very greatly. Even though she had made up her mind in the past not to forgive him, she was now ready to change her decision. She began to feel like she was not in any way better than Jakes. She would have slept with Mr Cameron just like Jakes had slept with Michelle if she had not returned to her senses.She thought of the love she and Jakes once shared, and how much she was missing every bit of it, even though she pretended not to be affected by their separation. She was now looking forward to their reconciliation. Jakes had tried to bring her back in several ways, but she made it impossible for him. She picked up and phone and began to type a text message."Hi, Jakes. I want us to come back together again. I know I was too harsh on you. I now acknowledge that we all are not perfect; we only try to be. Will you please forgive me?" Stephanie.After sending the message, she waited for a while to see if she would
Rose was in her house after the day's work. She lived in a small house with her parents, and her poor parents depended on her for their livelihood. She was lucky to get a job with "Turners and Associates" three months ago, and for the past three months, her salary had been used to pay the loan her parents borrowed in the past, which was already becoming an embarrassment for the family; they were also used to settle the family bills as well. So, Rose had not been able to spend her salary on herself since she started work. This was one of the reasons she was desperate to get married to a rich man so that her family's fortune would be changed for the better.She arrived home looking exhausted. She met her Mum sitting on one of the torn sofas in their sitting room. "Good day, Mum," Rose greeted, as she entered the house. "Welcome, Rose. How was work today?" Mrs Ethan asked. "Work was hectic," Rose responded as she sat down. She noticed the sad look on her mother's face, so she moved close
