Now that Michael had returned from police custody and had been relieved of his job at "The Class of Verity", he felt very frustrated and desperate. He needed a source of income that would be at least equivalent to what he was receiving as salary at "The Class of Verity." He thought of what he stood to gain if he owned "The Legends," and how he could fulfil his final plans of killing Jakes. However, he felt it would be a foolish thing for him to kill Jakes since there was no way he could own 'The Legends" without his influence.He made up his mind that he was going to see Jakes anytime soon to actualise his plans. Logan had sent Jakes's house address to him. Logan was able to get the address from one of the staff at "The Legends" who knew where Jakes lived. Michael knew that Jakes would return to his house in the evening, so he decided to go and visit him when he arrived home. He carefully looked at Jakes's address and made his way to his house as soon as he saw that it was 5 pm. He tr
"I don't get you. What do you mean by that?" Jakes asked Michael, wanting him to repeat himself. He wasn't sure of what he just heard. "I will like to work at 'The Legends,'"Michael tried to repeat himself. " You can't be serious. What about 'The Class of Verity?' The last time I checked, I noticed that you are the CEO of "The Class of Verity". So why...I don't understand..." Jakes said looking at Michael in surprise, expecting him to say something."Yes. I used to be the CEO of 'The Class of Verity', but my father disowned and sacked me, the moment he found out that I got married to someone from a poor family; a family that isn't as comfortable as ours," Michael said. Jakes was surprised that Michael had the guts to walk up to tell him to give him a job, and could even mention that his family disowned him because he got married to a lady from a poor background. "Does this man think at all?" Jakes thought to himself, as Michael sat before him. "Hmmm..." Jakes remarked without utterin
Elsie had returned from her travel and her mother informed Mrs Allison about her return, so they fixed a time for her and Michael to see, without Michael's knowledge. Mrs Cole arrived from work that afternoon and decided to call her friend to remind her of the meeting between her daughter and Michael later that evening. "Hello, darling. How are you today?" Mrs Cole asked Mrs Allison over the phone. "I'm cool. Thank you," Mrs Allison responded. "I hope you haven't forgotten the meeting between our children which is to take place later today," Mrs Cole asked. "Of course, I haven't forgotten. I can't be too busy to forget such. I'm so desperate to make sure Michael has nothing to do with that fool, Rose." Mrs Allison said."Wow. That sounds interesting. I' be expecting the both of you later this evening," Mrs Cole said as she hung up on the phone. Mrs Allison hadn't given Michael details about the meeting. She only told him that there was a friend the both of them needed to see later th
"Well, let me give a brief biography of myself. I'm 26 years old. I studied Business Development at the University, and I've been a CEO for well over seven years now," Michael said, then he paused for a while. "What if she finds out that I was sacked as the CEO of 'The Class of Verity'? Oh, I shouldn't have told her that I've been a CEO," Michael regretted himself. He was afraid that Elsie could try to probe further in getting more facts about him being a CEO, and he didn't want her to ask him any questions about that."Wow! So you have been a CEO for over seven years now? That sounds interesting. I envy you... So tell me, what company do you work for?" Elsie asked Michael, with eagerness in her eyes. She knew Michael was from a comfortable home, and her mother once told her that Michael was the CEO of a company, but she never told her how many years Michael had spent being a CEO, or what company he presided on as a CEO. Michael could tell that Elsie would try to probe further, so h
"Never knew he was serious. Thought it was a joke," Michael told Logan. "He's such an idiot. I couldn't resist his instructions because I would be on the verge of losing my job, so I had to succumb. However, never mind. Now that you're here, it'll be easier for us to achieve our plans," Logan said. "Sure, I can't wait to start doing something about it," Michael smirked. Now that he was made an ordinary business support person, he hated Jakes more and was ready to do all in his power to take over the company from him, with Logan's joint effort. "The thing is, if we're not able to take over this company from that fool, I'll make sure we burn it down. Yes, we will. I mean what I'm talking about," Micheal said, angrily. "Hahaha..." Logan laughed out loud. "But you're going too far, you know. It isn't up to that," Logan said. "It's much more than that. It is," Michael said with a frown on his face. "Well, I have to leave now. I've been asked to resume work tomorrow morning. That idiot
Rose had arrived home after the day's work. She received a call from her mother earlier that day, reminding her about the money she promised to send so that their family could relocate to a better house. Rose had always promised to relocate them, all this while, but she diverted the money to her personal needs. Now, she was ready to fulfil her promise, but she no longer had the means. She had spent all the money she withdrew from Michael's account, and nothing was left, except the salary she received from "Turners and Associates" for the month. She lay Curtis, who was asleep, in his cot, while she sat down on the bed beside him. She never expected that things would turn out to be what it was. Just when she thought that she now had to assess money from 'The Class of Verity', everything became history. She began to feel bitter against Michael for not being very smart. While she was still thinking, she heard some footsteps approaching the door. "It must be him," Rose thought to herse
"Yes. It's very urgent. However, I'm just thinking of selling off the building almost immediately, before it crumbles, to prevent it from being destroyed." Michael said. "But why? Why don't you...?" The money I'm expecting from the company's revenue will not be coming in, until the end of the month. That's why I'm thinking that way. Or what do you think?" Michael asked looking at Elsie as if he was expecting her to advise him. "Oh, no. I don't think it's a good idea to sell it. I'm sure you must have invested so much into the construction of the building with the belief that it would be completed someday. And you must have started dreaming about its completion before this occurred. I don't want you to be unhappy," Elsie said and paused for a while."Tell me. How much will it cost to complete the building?" Elsie asked. "500 million dollars," Michael replied. "That's not as serious as I thought. I'll make sure I do something about it," Elsie promised."Thank you so much, Elsie," Mich
As soon as Rose saw Mrs Allison approaching her, she stood up to go inside. "Are you deaf you asshole? Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Mrs Allison spoke at the top of her voice, but Rose ignored her and entered the house. "Mum, leave her alone. Are you here to spend time with us, or to cause trouble? Why don't you leave her?" Michael asked when he saw his mother following Rose. Mrs Allison ignored Michael and continued to follow Rose into the house.As soon as Rose entered the house, she walked into one of the rooms close to the sitting room and sat on the bed in the room when she heard Mrs Allison's voice from the sitting room. "Where is that gold digger?! That asshole! I want to see her," Mrs Allison said breathing heavily, like someone ready to fight. Michael tried to stop her. "Mum, I don't like this! What has Rose done for you? Why can't you leave her alone?" Michael said trying to stop his Mum from entering the room. "Don't stop me, Michael. She must leave your house. We
