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
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
