Michael followed the Johnsons outside the garden. He made sure that he wasn't very close enough for them to notice his presence. "What?! Am I dreaming?!" Michael soliloquized, the moment he saw Jakes and Stephanie enter a posh car.He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. Then he moved closer to them. "What's happening here?!" Michael said aloud. He could no longer hide his feelings. He rushed to look closely at the car. He was so surprised; his mouth was open agape. He noticed the driver in front and the servant who sat beside Jakes and Stephanie."I can't believe this!" Micheal remarked as the driver who drove Jakes and Stephanie zoomed off. Then the two cars behind them followed. All this while, Michael thought that the cars behind were some other persons' cars, until he saw the two of them follow Jakes's car very closely as it zoomed off. "Are those cars his, also?" Michael thought to himself. He began to feel very dizzy and confused. "But how? When did all the
Michael began to make every move just to find out about Jakes's new personality. He was desperate to know who Jakes had become, especially his current financial level. So, he decided to go through Gerald's former nanny, Ma Elizabeth. He still had her phone contact, so he decided to find out certain details from her. He picked up his phone and dialled her number. "Hello." "Hello, who am I speaking with?" Ma Elizabeth asked. She didn't have Michael's contact stored on her phone."This is Michael, Stephanie Johnson's brother. Do you remember that name?" Michael said. Ma Elizabeth was shocked when she heard Michael's name. She wondered if his call meant well, this time. "Of course, I do. How may I help you?" Ma Elizabeth asked. "I'm calling because I need some information from you," Michael said. "Alright. Go on, I'm listening." Ma Elizabeth said. "What do you know about Jakes Johnson?" Michael asked. "Well. I don't know much about him. All I can say is that he is the husband of Stephani
"How on earth will Jakes be made the CEO of a big company such as 'The Legends'? Aaah... This is bad news." Mrs Allison told Michael. Michael had called his Mum to inform her."It's truly bad news, Mum. I'll make sure I go to any length to destroy him. I'll bring him down to where he belongs. He deserves nothing but a low life..." Michael said bitterly. "He must have manoeuvred his way to get there. Just don't know how it happened." Mrs Allison said, feeling pained. "Don't worry, we'll find a way around this, Mum," Michael promised as he hung up the phone.********After the close of work, Michael drove down to Mr Cameron's house. He had called him earlier to inform him about his coming. On getting there, he got down from his car and saw Mr Cameron from a distance. He was lounging beside the pool in his compound, so Michael walked up to him and greeted him. Then they sat down together beside the pool. "So why are you here?" Mr Cameron asked Michael."I heard that Stephanie had left ag
"Really?!" Then I can't wait to hear it. Can you please go on?" Brian said. "Alright. I need you to work alongside me on something which will not be in the interest of your CEO." Micheal said. Michael chose to start that way so that he could know Brian's mindset towards Jakes."Something which may not be in the interest of my CEO? But why?" Brian asked. "You'll get to know later," Michael replied. "I'm not sure I want to have any deal that will make me rebel against my boss. Jakes Johnson has done nothing deserving of rebellion. I'm sorry, you may just be talking to the wrong person." Brian said."But wait...wait..." Michael said. He wanted to say something more, but he noticed that Brian had hung up on him. Brian was tempted to tell Jakes about it, but he changed his mind. He liked to lead a quiet life, so he wasn't ready to be the one who would start a quarrel between the two CEOs. After the closing of work at 'The Legends,' Brian picked up his belongings and left the office for ho
On Friday evening, while Brian and his wife, Noda, were relaxing in the lounge, Noda decided to make use of the time to find out more about the call Brian received from Michael. She had been interested in the deal, since the time she heard that it involved thousands of dollars. "So, tell me, sweetheart. Do you know the identity of the CEO who called you yesterday about the shady deal against your boss?" Noda asked."Of course, yes. He introduced himself. He said he is emmm...Micheal Allison the CEO of...The Class of Veterans, oh...no, pardon me. I remember it's "The Class of Verity." Brian replied. "The Class of Verity?" Noda asked to confirm. "Yes," Brian responded. "But why will he want to do something that is not in the interest of another company's CEO? Has he forgotten that he's also a CEO? I'm beginning to rethink. I didn't see it this way before, but now, it sounds like rebellion to me," Noda said, as Brian nodded in response. He was happy that his wife was beginning to see th
"Good. Mr John, I have a deal for you. If you corporate with me, you could just earn yourself thousands of dollars." Michael said. "Please who are you? And what deal is that? Do I even know you?" John asked harshly. He didn't know who was calling or what kind of deal the person talked about. So, he began to suspect that the person calling him was a fraudster. "Oh! Pardon my manners. I haven't even introduced myself." Michael remembered. "I am Michael Allison, the CEO of 'The Class of Verity. I called you because I want us to corporate in bringing your CEO - Jakes Johnson, down!" Michael said firmly. "Hmmm...Really? How do you think you will do that?" John asked wittily. On hearing this, Michael became confused. He began to wonder if he was talking with the right person. "Or did this woman play a fast one on me, just to get my money? This person does not seem to have any interest in working against Jakes. What have I gotten myself into?" Michael asked himself, as he remained silent fo
It was a new day at "The Legends." Jakes had resumed work early as usual. He just settled down, when his secretary walked into his office and read out his pinned schedule for the day. When he was done reading them out, he acted like he just remembered something. "That reminds me, I was told that a board meeting will be coming up today," the secretary said."Okay. Thank you. You can now leave." Jakes said as he dismissed his Secretary. "Wow, so the first board meeting with Pa Drakes as the chairman would be held today," Jakes said to himself. Anytime he wasn't invited to meetings like that, he knew that he wasn't expected to be there. Asides from that, he wasn't yet a member of the board.********It was 1 pm, the time fixed for the board meeting at The Legends. Pa Drakes and the other board members were seated together in one of the company's conference rooms. They discussed several issues that pertained to the growth and development of the company, and they made concrete decisions th
It was a new day at work for Jakes. He had arrived at work as usual and had begun to busy himself with the day's activities when he heard his phone make a sound, so he decided to check it and he saw a text message. "I'll like us to talk, peradventure during your free time. I have something very important to discuss with you,Michelle." "What? I thought I'll need not have anything to do with this slut again. What does she want to see me for?" Jakes muttered under his breath. Its been a while ever since he heard from Michelle. She had stopped disturbing him with phone calls and text messages for a while, so he felt relieved that she had desisted from him. Now, he wondered what her intention was this time.After some hours of work, Jakes checked the wall clock in his office and noticed that it was 1:10 pm. "Oh, how time flies. Just getting to know, ten minutes after. Let me take a break." Jakes said as he stood up from his desk and walked over to his tea shelf to make some coffee. Then
