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
Stephanie had resigned from work at Purple Flowers a day before. She woke up so early and moved to a room different from where she and Jakes slept. Then she began to think of the next step to take. She was not willing to be idle, because she was pregnant, so she began to surf the internet for ideas. She thought of applying to another company for part-time work. She remembered the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) which forbids pregnancy-based discrimination in the workforce, and where it is also legally stated that a pregnant woman could work for how long she wished to work.She had worked in two different companies during her pregnancy, and now she wished she could get a place where she wouldn't have to resign so quickly this time. She tried to search for companies which required her service through the internet when she stumbled on one that caught her attention.It was a food company where she would be able to work part-time, for just four hours per day, unlike her work at Purple
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
It was a Sunday morning, and Michael was very happy that Dorothy had accepted his proposal to marry him. 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. Mr Gordon had always wished that his daughter would get married to a rich man's son early enough, which Dorothy had once told Michael about.Michael pictured his marriage to Dorothy as a solution to his demotion and removal, as the CEO of The Class of Verity. He would become more influential and rich if he could get married to the billionaire's daughter, and his position as the CEO of The Class of Verity could even be restored, because of her. So, he decided to go and see his parents about his marriage to Dorothy. Even though he was somewhat at loggerheads with his father, he knew that his father would put their misunderstandings aside, no
Stephanie had been in the hospital for days now. Jakes always made sure he checked on her at the hospital after closing from work. 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. She had bombarded his phone with her frequent messages and phone calls, so he made up his mind to avoid her in every possible way. He was now through at work, so he decided to go home. On his arrival home, he saw a blue Toyota car packed close to his house. He wondered who it was because he wasn't expecting anyone. He walked towards his house, opened the door, and walked into the sitting room when he saw Michelle sitting on one of the sofas in the sitting room.Jakes was shocked to see her. "What...?! What are you doing here? And who allowed you in?" He asked, with a frown on his face. Michelle smiled at him, as she stood up from her seat and was abou
"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
