Michael’s father was conflicted on whether to accept the apology and the plea being given to him or to ignore it and sign his document.He didn’t want to do it, but Michael hadn’t been the best at work. He hated what he was about to do just as much as the next guy but he had to be tough on his son if he was going to have something to call a company at the end.“Please dad,” pleaded Michael not giving up. “I promise to change. I’ll keep aside any distraction I can and try to…”“Try?” the man said with a raised brow. “I don’t need anyone to try anything Michael, I need you to either do it or not.”“I’ll do it!” yelled Michael taking up his father’s words. “Forgive my language.”The man looked at his wife and the lawyer who nodded.“Fine,” the man sighed. “But one more break, one more mistake, one more step out of line and you’re out, do you hear me?”“Yes, sir,” Michael breathed, easily knowing he had incurred one more shot at keeping his place at the company.“Now, this calls for a cel
Alice walked through the hallway to the apartment which she shared with Michael. While she passed an old lady who was getting into her apartment, she started to think of Jennie.She smiled evilly as she knew Jennie was going to lose Richardson to her very soon. All she needed to do was up her seduction game and she would be able to get the man back to her side.She had to find a place where he would be and be there with him. She had to trap him to her side once and for all.Michael was too broke to get her what she wanted. He was too poor to afford her. She had to make sure she could afford to get more bags and if she stayed with Michael, she would be poor just like him.She would be a laughing stock in front of her friends and she didn’t want that to happen.The bag in her hand shook around reminding her that a ten thousand dollars purse was in it. It felt good to be rich again.She reached the door of the apartment only to find loud music emanating from it. What was that poor bastar
“Fuck!” Jennie screamed immediately she entered her apartment, pacing around in frustration.How had it gotten to this point, she asked herself.Her funds were running low already and a new one wasn’t coming forth. It was not even guaranteed that she would be getting new ones from Richardson. All she had been spending had been the money from the gathering she had gone to with him. Now everything she had was gone and she had to pull herself together and know what she was going to do to get money from him again.She wondered when he would be going to a plus one gathering again so she would get paid like before. She picked up her phone to call and ask him but decided against it. It had to be his call and not hers to make.She couldn’t believe she had let that witch, Alice, goad her into buying the ten thousand dollars purse. She didn’t even need it so why had she gotten it?!She was so angry at herself for doing such. She should have walked away instead of trying to prove that she could
Michael scrolled through his phone playing some games which he could find on his phone store. He could not sleep, not without getting some of the thoughts which ravaged him out of his head.He looked at Alice who was sleeping peacefully beside him. She had fallen asleep a while ago leaving him alone with his thoughts.How could she do that to him? He had loved her and trusted her but she had turned around to stab him in the back.After all he had done for her, this was the only way she could repay him.He believed Alice was cheating on him. There were no two ways about it. He had asked her countless times over the bag she had gotten. That had been the bag she had wanted from him for a long time and because he did not have the money to buy it for her, he had only vowed to get it when he was rich again.Seeing her with the bag when he knew she could not afford it had made him become suspicious of her movements.Lately, she had been going to strange places without telling him and it had
She felt compelled to reach the table and force the answer from the women but she had to keep her cool instead of losing herself to whatever was making them laugh.“Maybe they’re not talking about us,” a friend of hers noted to her as she nodded, leaning back into her chair to enjoy her meal.She could not shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.She had so much phobia due to the events which had been happening over the past few weeks. She could tell that something unpleasant was about to happen.She had gone through so much with Michael. Getting kicked out of places and having arguments in the public.Someone from the other table laughed out loud getting her attention as she found them pointing to her. They really were talking about her.She stood to her feet with her friends ready to have a woman on woman fight with the ladies.“Are you sure about this?” one of her friends asked in fear. She was a bit unsure about the journey they were about to undertake but Al
Alice walked slowly through the street as she tried her best to stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She had to contain them inside. She hated that she did not have enough money to get the stupid women thrown out of the lounge like how Jennie had been able to throw her and Michael out of the boutique with a single phone call.Michael was not as powerful as he used to be. She had been proud of him after he had attempted to have Jennie thrown out but it had only been a temporary joy, as soon enough Jennie had them pushed out in the most embarrassing way possible.Her mind wandered to Richardson as she wondered what it would take to have him back to her side again.She had tried everything only to be rejected every now and then.There had to be something she could do that would get him to her side. But it was going to take a lot from her.She had tried seducing him but it had only ended up in a bad way. She had to come up with other ways to get him to her.He was rich enough to
Richardson hadn’t intended to splash Alice water on purpose. He had not even known she was the one his driver had splashed water on. He had been busy with the meeting he was having over his laptop and had only asked his driver to stop after hearing someone scream.After a few seconds of the incident, he watched as someone battered against his window before rounding the car asking that the driver open the door and face her.Rolling his window down, he was shocked to find out it was Alice. He seemed to be bumping into her too much these days. He had to find other routes to avoid doing that.He looked at her from her head to her toe to find her drenched in dirty water. He wasn’t that petty to splash her water on purpose. It had been a genuine mistake.He realized that there was no need to get into a fight with her as it was beneath him. He had no choice but to apologize.Getting out of the car, he smiled at her expecting the worst.“I’m sorry Alice,” he sighed. “It wasn’t my intention,
She watched him for sometime, marveling at how he had changed as she attempted to start up a conversation.That was the best way she could connect with him to know what was going on in his life.“So, I…” she started to say as a phone started to ring.She wondered if it was from the phone he was playing the game in as she was confused when he put his hand into his pocket to get out the latest phone which had not even been released into the market yet.She watched the phone closely as he opened it up, glaring at him put the phone on his ears to answer the call. The diamond rings on his fingers glittered in the dim light getting her full attention.They had to be real diamonds. She could tell as she was an expert on jewelry. She could see through the fake and through the real ones.She listened to him talk as he also seamlessly handled the laptop before him without effort. He switched between phone and laptop like they were nothing and she started to find him more attractive.She revele
