It was a new day at "The Legends." Jakes had resumed work early as usual. He just settled down, when his secretary walked into his office and read out his pinned schedule for the day. When he was done reading them out, he acted like he just remembered something. "That reminds me, I was told that a board meeting will be coming up today," the secretary said."Okay. Thank you. You can now leave." Jakes said as he dismissed his Secretary. "Wow, so the first board meeting with Pa Drakes as the chairman would be held today," Jakes said to himself. Anytime he wasn't invited to meetings like that, he knew that he wasn't expected to be there. Asides from that, he wasn't yet a member of the board.********It was 1 pm, the time fixed for the board meeting at The Legends. Pa Drakes and the other board members were seated together in one of the company's conference rooms. They discussed several issues that pertained to the growth and development of the company, and they made concrete decisions th
It was a new day at work for Jakes. He had arrived at work as usual and had begun to busy himself with the day's activities when he heard his phone make a sound, so he decided to check it and he saw a text message. "I'll like us to talk, peradventure during your free time. I have something very important to discuss with you,Michelle." "What? I thought I'll need not have anything to do with this slut again. What does she want to see me for?" Jakes muttered under his breath. Its been a while ever since he heard from Michelle. She had stopped disturbing him with phone calls and text messages for a while, so he felt relieved that she had desisted from him. Now, he wondered what her intention was this time.After some hours of work, Jakes checked the wall clock in his office and noticed that it was 1:10 pm. "Oh, how time flies. Just getting to know, ten minutes after. Let me take a break." Jakes said as he stood up from his desk and walked over to his tea shelf to make some coffee. Then
It was another day at "The Class of Verity." Michael had resumed work as usual and was checking out some documents on his table. After checking them for a while, he picked up the telephone on his table and dialled a number. "Please, come over to my office immediately," Michael said. After a short while, his office door was pushed open, and a young woman walked in. "Good day, Sir." The woman greeted. "Good day. Can I see the charts of accounts for The Class of Verity?" Michael asked. "Of course, yes. I'll be with you shortly," the young woman said, as she walked out of Michael's office. Within a short while, the door of the office was pushed open again, as the woman walked in with a book in her hands. "Thank you," Michael said as he collected the book from her hand. Then he gestured with his right hand for her to leave. As soon as the woman left, he had his phone rang, so he picked it up. "Yes, I'll be with you shortly," Michael said as he hung up the phone. He tried to rush in to che
"What?! Is he drunk? I can't believe this." Stephanie muttered under her breath, after reading the text message she had just received from Mr Cameron. She decided not to tell Jakes about it, in order not to make him feel disappointed. She had told Mr Cameron that she was married, so she never expected to receive such a text message from him. Coupled with the fact that her husband just paid him a huge amount of money she does not return to him.Stephanie picked up her phone to reply to him. "Try to take your thoughts off me, because I can never be with you again. I told you that I am married. So what else do you want from me? Go ahead and get married to another woman, because I do not love you!" Stephanie.***********It was a Monday morning and Stephanie had resumed work early as she usually did. She had just finished showing Jakes some documents she wanted him to sign, and was on her way out of his office when she met Michelle at the entrance. "Hello." Stephanie greeted Michelle, b
"So tell me about it?" John asked Michelle. "He has refused to claim ownership of the baby, despite the several attempts I made," Michelle replied. "That's a good one," John said. "What?" Michelle asked. She was surprised at John's answer. "Yes. It's good that he's denying ownership of the baby. It makes it easy to carry out our alternative plans." John said."Come close. Let me hint you of the plan," John said, as he moved close to Michelle and whispered into her ears. On hearing what John said, Michelle smiled at John. "I understand you, very perfectly. I'll do just that." Michelle said. "When it all becomes a reality, then you will have your share of the cake," John promised. "Alright, John," Michelle said, as the both of them dispersed.It was lunchtime at "The Legends" and Jakes was preparing to step out of his office for lunch. He had planned to spend his lunchtime at one of the company's relaxation areas. Just when he was about to pick up his phone from his desk, he heard a sou
"Jakes, I'll need a sum of $30000 for my sustenance this month. You know that ever since I asked you for $20000 for my last antenatal appointment, I haven't disturbed you. So, I don't expect you to complain about this, from your beloved Michelle."Jakes had just finished reading the text message Michelle sent to him while he sat down in his office.Michelle's demands had now become very excessive lately. He had sent $20000 for her antenatal appointment barely two weeks ago, and now she was asking for another $30000. Her demands were now beginning to bother him, and he thought of what to do to get off her hook. Michelle was in her office downstairs when she sent the message to Jakes, while John and Lucas were with her, as they quietly discussed the next line of action against Jakes. It was their break time, so they decided to make use of the opportunity to talk about their plans against Jakes. "I've sent the message to him," Michelle told John and Lucas. "That's perfect. So let
"Hello, Uncle. We need to see." Michael told Mr Smart over the phone. It was almost closing time at The Class of Verity, and Michael was tidying up his desk and placing some files on his office shelf when he remembered that he was supposed to call his Uncle before leaving."Okay. So can we see tomorrow?" Mr Smart asked. "Tomorrow would have been okay. But it's just that I can't wait to see you today. I can't bear to keep the news till we meet tomorrow. It just has to be today; this evening." Michael said. "Alright then. So where should we meet?" Mr Smart asked. "Let us meet at the usual place - Duncan's house," Michael said. "Okay. Then, that's fine by me." Mr Smart replied. "6 pm to be precise," Michael said, as he hung up the phone.Michael finished clearing up his desk, and then he set out of the company into his red SUV vehicle, heading for his friend's house. Duncan and Michael had been friends for five years, and they seemed to be very compatible because their way of life and cha
"Why did you say that?" Mrs Allison asked in surprise. "His line hasn't been going through, and I just got a call from the company that he has been absent from work since yesterday." Mr Allison said. "Oh, that's not possible. Let me try calling his number right away," Mrs Allison told her husband, as she hung up the phone. She tried calling Michael's number. "Oh, my goodness. Can it be true? I pray it isn't." Mrs Allison muttered under her breath, as she dialled her husband's phone again. "I'll be home right away." Mrs Allison informed. She began to feel nervous and perturbed about Michael's whereabouts.When she got home, it was already late in the evening. She and her husband tried reaching out to friends they knew Michael associated with, but none could say anything about his whereabouts. They discussed what to do next and concluded that they would be going to check on him at his house the following morning.*********It was a bright Wednesday morning. Mr Allison and his wife wer
