Mr Allison sat down in his office thinking of whom would take over from Michael as the CEO of "The Class of Verity. A demotion letter had been given to Michael, after many pleas from him and his mother.

Mr Allison's intended to kick Michael out of the company completely, without giving him any assess to the company, because of the way he behaved, and how he had led the company to a state of bankruptcy, but he decided to demote Michael only, allowing him to remain in the company.

In the meantime, Mr Allison decided to assume the position of the company's CEO. He had been able to take some steps that would help in bringing The Class of Verity back to its feet. He had put in for a grant that was huge enough to pay the company's debts and to also sustain its running.

Now, Mr Allison was satisfied, except for the fact that he wasn't sure of who would take over from him. Stephanie was an option, but he was not happy that she was still married to Jakes, and he wasn't also sure of her wherea

    Jakes was in his office at The Legends. It had been a very hectic day for him because he had been busy with so many things which he had to attend to at the office. He stayed a little bit later than usual at the office to complete his work, in order not to carry them over till the next day. Most of the staff had left for their various homes, and he believed that he and the security man were the only ones left behind in the company.He was neatly arranging the files on his table when he had a sound at his door. He looked up towards the doorstep to see what was the cause of the sound, when the door was pushed open, with Michelle walking in majestically. This time around, she wore a more scanty dress than what she wore the last time she came to his office. This made her look very tempting and seductive to Jakes."Hi, Jakes," Michelle said as she walked in. "What do you want again this time, Michelle?" Jakes asked, with a frown on his face. "I've been waiting for you to come downstairs,

    "There's nothing wrong with your wife. She'll be fine. Those cramps were as a result of some stress." The Doctor explained to Jakes, who was now seated with him in his office. "Stress?" Jakes asked, looking at the Doctor in surprise. Stephanie had resigned from Purple Flowers for a week now, and she had been staying at home, so he was surprised at the kind of stress the Doctor was referring to."She just resigned from her place of work a week ago, and since then she has been at home, while I go to work." Jakes explained. "Yeah, the cramps were as a result of some accumulated stress. We also noticed that her blood pressure is relatively high. She must have been involved in so much work, even before she resigned. She told me that it wasn't her first time of feeling that way. She had felt that way at different times during the day, even after she resigned." The Doctor explained."Oh, is that so?" Jakes asked with a look of concern on his face. "Yes, it is. So she would need to spend so

He was determined to get married to Dorothy as soon as possible because he was now desperate to inherit her father's wealth and then become famous in Fitbuck city.Mr Gordon, Dorothy's father, was a popular figure and Dorothy was his only child.

He always sent his servant with food and beverages, when there was a need for them. The pressure he had received from Michelle in the last few days was so much, especially now that Stephanie was not around.

    "So where did you meet Stephanie?" Mrs Allison asked her husband. "I met her at the hospital." Mr Allison disclosed. "Oh, she deserves to be at the hospital for deceiving Mr Cameron." Mrs Allison said in response. "But why would you say that about your daughter?" Mr Allison asked with a frown on his face. "Since she married Jakes, she has ceased to be my daughter. So don't call her my daughter!" Mrs Allison said. It was obvious that she was frustrated. "The Allison family should be wealthier by now if Stephanie stayed with Mr Cameron. She flopped things up with her lackadaisical attitude. How would someone have the opportunity to live the rest of her life in affluence, yet choose to stay with a pauper? It's really unbelievable." Mrs Allison continued."In the long run, she'll have no choice but to divorce Jakes by the time I'm done with her." Mr Allison said confidently. "You didn't even allow me to finish relating with you details about how I met Stephanie, before saying all that

He called the fashion house he usually patronized for designer dresses and shoes, and he asked them about a certain brand of shirt and trousers which they told him was in stock, so he ordered them. He was determined to appear in his best outfit and to also have a nice haircut. It was late in the evening, but Mic

"Please, come in," Jakes said. Then the door was pushed open, and Michelle walked in. After the last incident that had occurred between Michelle and Jakes, Jakes planned to sack Michelle, but he needed something in which he would hide to sack her.
