Stephanie ignored the message Douglas sent and picked up her bag to leave the office. It was raining heavily, but she was happy that she was going to be home soon after a long day at work. She was not only excited that she was going to see Jakes again, but she was excited about the new house. She remembered the previous house they lived, and how Jakes struggled to make ends meet. The roof leaked, and anytime rain fell, she spent so much time mopping the water that filled the rooms. Therefore, she was not happy living in that house. They only lived in that house because the both of them could not afford a better one.But now, the new house Jakes lived in was very comfortable and spacious. And it had five rooms with excellent facilities. Asides from that, the both of them now ate so well, compared to when they first got married where Jakes could only afford a square meal, which never satisfied them.When Stephanie got back home, she noticed rose flowers on the floor, from the entrance,
As Jakes walked down the corridor, two young ladies amongst his staff whispered into each other's ears. "He's so cute. These days, I find it very difficult to control my desires for him." One of them said. "Shhh... Keep quiet Michelle. What if he hears you?" "I don't care if he hears. It's good if he knows that I have a crush on him." "I can now see you're turning crazy, Michelle. Have you forgotten that he is married?" The second female staff asked. "Forget that trash. Many married men are not happy with their wives. That's why you hardly see a married man without a mistress." Michelle explained."Hmmm..." The second staff responded."This man will be good in bed. He has got all that it takes to sweep any woman off her feet." Michelle said. "Really?! I can't believe you're already beginning to fall for your married boss.""Save that nonsense, girl! Don't want you to put in that clause 'married' again. Trust me. If I tell you that I'm going to get a man down, I will. I don't waste
Jakes had once had a fling with Michelle some years back. They both attended an event together, and the two of them found each other irresistible. After that incident, Jakes tried to break every contact he had with Michelle because he was already in a relationship with Stephanie at that time. He was surprised to see her when he resumed work at The Legends, so he always tried to avoid her. Better still, he pretended not to know her. Michelle on the other hand tried to hide her past relationship with Jakes from her other colleagues pretending like The Legends was their first place of meeting, and she only admired Jakes.Even though Michelle had been making secret advances to Jakes, Jakes always ignored her. He loved Stephanie so much and wasn't ready to betray her love for him as well. He knew what Michelle wanted, and he made up his mind not to have anything to do with her, despite her advances.Now, Michelle was so desperate to have Jakes. As Jakes walked past the corridor down to his
It was a new day at Purple Flowers. Stephanie had resumed work. The company's party was supposed to take place later in the evening. It was the usual practice of the staff of Purple Flowers to close at work earlier, any day the party was supposed to hold. Purple Flowers usually held an annual party or get-together for its staff, in the middle of the year.Now, it was July, the month when the usual get-together was usually held. The event was always memorable and beautiful; this made every staff at Purple Flowers look forward to it. There was always plenty of food to spare, wine, drinks, and snacks. Soft and lovely music was always played in the background, and the event venue was always made to look like paradise.Every staff of Purple Flowers always brought along their wives, husbands, girlfriends, or boyfriends, and this helped to add colour to the event. Games were usually played, and awards were usually presented. Gifts were exchanged, apart from the other beautiful things that to
The waiter stared at Dora for a while before leaving. "Why is she looking so confused?" Dora asked Stephanie. "It seems like she's French, and doesn't understand English very much." Stephanie tried to explain."Maybe," Dora replied as a tall young man walked up to them, taking Dora to the dance floor. Dora picked up her drink and followed him. Soft music was played in the background, and everyone looked refreshed and excited. Stephanie picked up her cup to sip a drink. While she was still sipping the drink, she saw Douglas beside her. He was sitting next to her, grinning. It looked like he was excited about something. "Hey, Stephanie." "Douglas... So you're here.""Yeah," Douglas replied. "Why are you smiling so much?" Stephanie asked. "Oh, is it so obvious? Yes, I'm smiling, because I'm very excited that you came to the party. I...I didn't expect to see someone who's always busy as you," said Douglas."You didn't expect to see me?" Stephanie asked rhetorically, with a look of surpr
Now, The Class of Verity was on the verge of packing up. Mr Allison was back at Fitbuck city, and he had been informed about the current state of the company. He was now very furious and he regretted allowing Michael to become the company's CEO."What a useless son he is. He would have sold the real estate, and maybe the company if I wasn't told. That boy is an idiot!" Mr Allison yelled angrily, as he paced up and down the large sitting room. "Please take it easy, Dear. Michael has been a good son to us. You don't have to be too harsh on him, because things are not working out right for him this time..." Mrs Allison said, trying to calm her husband down."No, no, no! Don't give me that trash, because he is your son. You couldn't even call to tell me about the current state of the company, or his moves concerning the estate. I would have remained oblivious about the situation of things if Scott had not called to tell me about the estate he was about to sell." Mr Allison interrupted."
"Mr Jakes cannot continue to be the CEO of The Legends. He has been involved in influencing fake contracts. He must be removed very quickly." Tom stood up to speak amongst the board of directors. The board of directors had decided to have a meeting, because of the contention that had been going on amongst the company staff for a while. Tom and Nolan had caused a larger percentage of The Legend staff to rebel against Jakes, and the company was in a disharmonious state. "We need evidences to this effect." The Chairman said, as he looked up at Tom. "Yes, I have the letters he sent to me here." Tom said, as he checked the file placed on the table before him to bring out the letters. "Here they are." Tom said, as he handed over two open envelopes to the Chairman. The Chairman collected the envelopes and removed the letters to read them, as everyone present at the meeting remained silent. The Chairman, Mr Los browsed through the letters for some minutes, before he spoke. "Hmmm... And is
Jakes and Stephanie were seen together in the sitting room. Stephanie was now five months pregnant. It was a Saturday, so they had spent so much time in bed before rising. The week had been so hectic for the both of them, so they decided to spend most of the day resting. Jakes and Stephanie were always excited during weekends. They saw it as an opportunity to rest, and spend time out together. They had just finished eating breakfast, so the both of them sat on one of the sofas in the sitting room to discuss."Jakes, I've always wanted to tell you about my experience at the party organised by Purple Flowers, but we've not had the time to talk or discuss since then," Stephanie said."Really? We're free now, so I'm all ears." Jakes said. "I was almost injured after the event by men sent by my Boss' wife to torture me.""Torture you?! For what reason?! And how come you're just telling me this." Jakes asked, with a look of shock on his face." Stephanie took out time to explain all that
