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
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE REPLACEMENT
Michael had received the information that Mr Allison was back, so he felt very nervous, even though he had tried to convince his Mum that he had good intentions for collecting the documents of the estate. He knew that his Dad would have been aware of the current state of The Class of Verity. Knowing how strict and firm his father was in his decision-making, several thoughts crossed his mind, yet he decided to be positive. He also knew how his father always talked about preferring a family member as the CEO of The Class of Verity. "Even, if he wants someone else to become the CEO in my place, there's nobody he could choose. We're just two, and Stephanie is not an option." Michael thought to himself. It was a Sunday afternoon, so he decided to go and visit his Dad to know about his intentions. He was becoming so anxious about what his father's decision would be, even though he tried as much as possible not to be negative. So he decided to drive down to his parent's house to see them

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
