Mr Adams and Ryan took their seats after giving Jerome a nasty look.Jerome closed his eyes and opened them."The meeting was scheduled for 10:00, can you check the time now?" Jerome asked.Ryan chuckled."It's 11:20, and so?" Ryan answered."The meeting was supposed to start by ten but you rudely decided to waste our time. You should apologize for that." Jerome said, in a demanding tone."Oh, you think I should? Why should I? I can come whatever time I want, and the meeting has to wait, you know why? Coz I'm the CEO, do I need to spell that for you?" Ryan said, laughing."Yeah, continue laughing and show everyone how much of a fool you are!" Jerome spat. "Enough, Jerome!" Mr Adams cut in."No, why don't you tell your mannerless son to shut up! If you had taught him some manners, he would have known better to come to a meeting early as a new CEO, fool." Jerome ranted."If I were you, I will watch my tone because I can get you fired and there is nothing you can do." Ryan blurted."En
"Debbie, the fate of our company is in your hands. Better get it done, even though Jerome's company has already suffered losses and can't match ours, but I saw it on the News that the culprit was caught and very soon they may get back on their feet." Her Dad stated.Debbie nodded."I told you Dad, I'm on it. Just give me more time, please." She said and levy the house, as she doesn't want Jerome to return to the hospital before she arrives there.*Debbie alighted in front of the hospital and gave it a quick stare before removing her sunglass and made her way to the reception.She met a Lady in her mid-twenties at the receptionist counter, and she assumed she must be the receptionist."Um, hey." Debbie said."Hey, do you need any help?" The lady replied."I'm looking for a lady, Stacy." Debbie replied."Um, are you her relative?" The lady asked and Debbie nodded negatively."Unfortunately, Stacy is not allowed to get visited by strangers. You cannot meet her." The lady said and shut a
Debbie smirked, waiting to hear what Stacy has to say.Then the door opened, Kelly and Angela walked in holding a cake.Kelly gave Debbie a strange look but calmed herself and gently placed the cake carefully ok the table."What are you doing here?" Kelly asked, glaring at Debbie and taping her foot continually on the floor."No worries, I'm here for your sister, not you." Debbie replied and leaned closer to Stacy, who was also speechless."Be wise and call me when you make the right decision." She whispered, handed her a card, and cat walked out of the ward.Kelly was furious."Uhhgg! What the heck did she come here to do! I can't stand her!" Kelly screamed.Stacy didn't reply to Kelly, as she felt uneasy after listening to what Debbie had said.A very deep voice I'm her felt that, Debbie was, in fact, true. That she was being selfish and one of the reasons for Jerome's downfall.Kelly was lost in thought and Kelly kept on blabbering, and she noticed she wasn't getting a response fro
Jerome came to the hospital and met Kelly at the hallways.She was pacing up and down, holding her chest.His heart immediately started racing as he couldn't imagine his day getting worse that it already is by something happening to Stacy.He speeds up to her and met her."Kelly, is everything okay?" He asked.Kelly didn't respond to him."Kelly, talk to me. Has something happened to Stacy again? Is it her health? Talk to me." Jerome pleaded."Stacy…she, she fainted." Kelly said and started crying."What! How! What happened to her! Tell me." Jerome said, shaking. He was in between tears and the worried reaction on his face almost made her scream it out that it was all a plan and Stacy is doing very fine. But she knew Stacy and Angela will fry her alive if she dares."The doctor said, her blood pressure increases which resulted to the fainting." Kelly lied, rubbing her eyes.Jerome groaned and slammed his hand on the wall."Damn it! I shouldn't have gone to that dumb meeting. Maybe Sta
After sharing the cake, Jerome couldn't help but noticed Stacy's switch of mood.One minute she is lively and the next meeting she would be deep in thoughts, completely ignorant of their discussions.When Angela and Kelly were talking, Jerome pulled Stacy to him."Baby, are you okay?" He asked."Yeah, why?" Stacy answered, smiling quickly."Are you sure?" Jerome asked lifting her head and made her looked in his eyes.She looked away chuckling."It's probably the mood swings. So, I'm totally fine. I promise." Stacy answered."Hey guys! Are you guys planning on making another baby? Uh no, nah, you have to push this one out first, sissy." Kelly interrupted and Angela's mouth hung on up, surprised at how Kelly speak without feeling shy."You need some filtering in your words, baby girl." Stacy snapped."Oh, I'm not a child, didn't you guys did....""Leave me alone! Uhhh!" Kelly screamed as Angela pulled her and covered her mouth with her hands, stopping her from completing the sentence.S
After Angela and Kelly's departure, Jerome turned to Stacy."So, now that we are all alone, can you tell me what the problem is?" Jerome asked.Stacy laughed a bit, lifting her eyebrows."What problem? I don't have any problem." Stacy answered, shrugging it off like nothing happened."Stacy, I know when you are lying. And yes are definitely lying." Jerome stated."Come on baby, I was just stressed out with all the decorations, I promise I'm fine." Stacy replied, smiling.Jerome was not convinced fully, but he saw Stacy was bent on not telling him what's wrong so he decided to let it slide."So... everyone had given me a gift, aren't you going to give me any?" Jerome asked jokingly, holding her waist and pulled her closer.Stacy throw her arms over his shoulder."Saving the best for last." Stacy said and went inside the ward, then brought out a beautiful, colorful bag."Happy birthday, my love." She beamed as she handed him the bag.Jerome's eyes lit up."Thank you, now I'm so excited
Jerome came back to the ward and Stacy was already dressed up on a sparkling red silk gown.The gown did justice to her naturally endowed body, and her little bump appeared.Despite her pregnancy, she is looking like so glowy and beautiful."Wow, I love the smooth transition. You are looking beautiful, baby." Jerome said and kissed her forehead."Thank you baby. Got to look good for my baby's birthday, right." Stacy replied, making him blushed."So, did the doctor gave us his permission, or he was being adamant as usual?" Stacy inquired."He advised against it, but he later on agreed." Jerome answered."To be honest, I was only asking for formalities, and to be safe, not because I actually cared if he will give us his consents for not. After all, nothing can stop me." Stacy retorted.Jerome was stunned by Stacy sudden confidence and her drama.He laughed over it and they headed out.A car was already waiting for them at the hospital parking Lott and a chauffeur."Wow!" Jerome grilled
Curiosity had taken over Jerome, but he cannot say anything rather than wait for whatever next surprise Stacy had planned for him.The car stopped and Jerome looked around.To his surprise, it was a cemetery, and not just any cemetery but the one his mother was being buried in.He remembered vividly when he had to watch her get buried deep inside the ground.It was the worst day of his life, the day he lost his mother, every light in his life left with her.He was just trying so hard to continue pushing, but nothing was making sense at all.Most of the time, he would frequently visit her, but he stopped along the line because she never listened to his cries, his sorrows, she never answered him back or even show him a sign that she was with him all through despite crying to her for long hours.Jerome turned to Stacy with a mixture of sadness, tears already welled up in his eyes, but in those teary eyes were a mixture of gratefulness and excitement."Stacy…how were you able to pull this
Season Finale *four days later*It was the wedding day of Jerome and Debbie, and Debbie couldn't hide her excitement. The event hall was decorated to her taste and it was just like she had dreamed of, the talk of the town wedding.Reporters, and celebrities from all around the world, Africa, and Asia were in attendance, and food was served in different ways.Indeed, the wedding was screaming luxury.It was already time and Jerome was nowhere to be found. Debbie was getting worried and tried calling his phone but he hasn't been answering.In no time, the guest already started murmuring as she was seated next to the priest waiting for Jerome to say their vows.She was getting tensed, the heat of embarrassment building up in the atmosphere.She looked around nervously searching for Jerome and after all the stress, he finally arrived, but to everyone's surprise, he came with lots of policemen.Debbie stood up, shocked and so did her parents."Hey, Debbie." Jerome giggled and walked to th
Semi-final Jerome walked out of the boardroom and Stacy thrilled behind him."Jerome." She called and he paused. This will be the first time she is coming face to face with him since after the separation."Thank you, so much for what you did to me. I won't ask you how you knew about it but after all I did, I don't deserve your kindness." Stacy exclaimed."It's nothing, Stacy. After all, you are not my enemy, I loved you and I cannot watch your life crumble when I could do something to help out. So, consider it as nothing." Jerome replied."Thank you so much," Stacy said and he smiled at her."Take care, I have something to take care of," Jerome stated."Oh, by the way, congratulations on your engagement. I'm sorry I couldn't do it on time." Stacy said and instead of replying, he nodded his head and left.Stacy stared at him until his shadow disappeared and retired to the boardroom where she met her family waiting for her.*Jerome was once again emotional seeing Stacy, he headed to h
Stacy walked out of the restaurant and tried calling a cab when she sighted someone she knew."Alex!" She called and waved at him."Oh, Stacy," Alex replied and went over to her."What are you doing here? It's a pleasure to meet you." Stacy excitedly said as they exchanged a handshake."Just came over for lunch. What are you doing outside, alone?" Alex inquired and Stacy beamed sadly."I was on a date but I guess, that was a terrible idea. Anyways, it was nice meeting you, I will go ahead." Stacy replied."No, I'm not having anything important. I can give you a ride." Alex said."No, no, it's okay, I'm fine. I will just wait for my cab and...""No, Stacy, I insist and yes, you cannot refuse me. So, please, let's go already." Alex said and took her purse.She smiled awkwardly and followed his lead as he walked to where his car was parked.He opened the car for her and she entered.He was skeptical to tell her that he was with Jerome and he left because he saw her with Liam."So, how is
Alex and Jerome finally arrived at the restaurant and were already seated while waiting for their orders.And they talked about businesses, and the autonomous cars productions that had become universally wanted."Why is this wait taking so much time." Jerome groaned and stood up to check when his eyes caught a sight that kept his eyes ball fixed in that direction."What are you looking at?" Alex asked and when Jerome did not respond, he stood up and saw Stacy and Liam, coming into the restaurant, with all smiles.*After Jerome's engagement last night, Liam had been begging Stacy to go out with him and despite refusing to accept, he showed up at her office and she had no option but to accept and go out with him.Jerome stared at Liam pulls her a chair and his heart was arching."Let's go, Alex," Jerome said blinking his eyes. It was as if he would burst into tears at any moment."But the lunch and..." Alex was not able to complete his statement, Jerome stormed out, and Alex ran after
Jerome was relieved that Stacy was better and blamed himself for being the cause of all her problems.While leaving the hospital, he suddenly remembered the old lady who was leaving her ward. Remember her?He decided to visit her and thank her for being a motivation to him in his most trying moment.He got to her ward and it was empty too. So he thought she had gone out of her ward again, without the Nurse's knowledge.He went out and met with a nurse, the same nurse who was in charge of taking care of the old Lady."Hey." Jerome waved at her."Mr Jerome. Long time, no see. Miss Mercy had been asking for you all the time, even the day we lost her." The Nurse exclaimed and Jerome looked at her."What do you mean until we lost her?" Jerome asked, looking shocked."Unfortunately, her cancer had reached its last state, and even chemotherapy couldn't save her. We lost her to the cold hands of death." The Nurse answered."Oh no," Jerome said, his back touching the wall."She asked for you,
Jerome and Debbie returned to their seats as the event had already commenced."About earlier, he was just asking for the restroom," Debbie said."Oh, I see," Jerome replied. And it was time for them to exchange rings.Jerome took the ring and looked towards Stacy's direction but he saw her hurriedly leaving.His attention was driven to her yet again."Did she perhaps feel bad? Does she still love me? Or maybe she wasn't feeling too well?" Jerome wondered and he was wondering why the doctor would let her out of the hospital to attend such a crowded occasion.He decided to go see the doctor the next day and reprimand him for being careless with Stacy's health knowing the risks associated with her health and pregnancy.Debbie was getting pissed as he stood frozen and everyone's eyes were on him waiting for him to put the ring on her finger."What are you doing, Jerome!" Debbie half yelled and that got his attention, dragging him back to reality."Oh, I'm sorry," Jerome replied and with h
*The Engagement party*It was the day of the engagement.Despite Stacy's sadness, she dressed up so elegantly and wore a red fitted gown that gave justice to her well-endowed body.Her belly had begun protruding and the pregnancy was looking good on her, adding an extra glow to the already existing goddess look she had.Stacy stood in front of the mirror, panting.She had been rehearsing how to act normal and pretend everything was well but she couldn't stop getting nervous.She felt like she would not be able to control her emotions when she saw Jerome.Kelly joined her in the room."Okay, I had missed seeing this side of my elegant sister. You are looking so beautiful tonight, Sissy." Kelly exclaimed."Looking at myself in the mirror, I just realized how much I had let loose of myself," Stacy replied and faced Kelly.Kelly picked a lipgloss and put a little on Stacy's lips as her lips were chapped."Thank you." Stacy smiled."You are welcome. You are scared, aren't you? Your hands a
*The Next day*Stacy was done giving a speech at the board meeting, and it ended in a absolute applaud.They were glad to have her back and her ideas are always top notched.On her way back to the office, while she was exchanging pleasantries, her assistant came to call her."Good day, Miss Stacy. You have a guest." She announced."Oh, a guest. Um…" Stacy paused and turned to the board member she was speaking with."I will catch up with you later sir." She said."Sure, go ahead, Ma'am. You did an excellent presentation. Looking forward to more from you." The Man said with a handshake and left."Shall we?" Stacy asked."Sure." The assistant answered and took the lead, while Stacy followed her.They arrived at the waiting room close to her office and she was shocked to see the guest."Liam!" She muttered and looked at her assistant."He is the guest?" Stacy asked, looking surprised.The assistant was scared.."Yes Ma'am, is there any problem?" She asked and Stacy looked at Liam, he flas
Kelly and Stacy alighted at the ice cream shop.It has been their favorite ice cream shop since childhood and of course, Kelly insisted on driving the brand new Lamborghini Mr Sky got for Stacy.They sat down, and the waiter joined them shortly."Good day Ma'am. Would you like to place your order?" The waiter asked with a sweet smile."Um, my sister is pregnant." Kelly giggled and Stacy opened her mouth."Wow, congratulations, I'm happy for you." The waiter beamed."Yeah, that means she will love to taste all the flavors, so bring all the flavors you have." Kelly said firmly and refused to laugh."Sure, right away." The waiter said, flashed them a smile and left to get their orders ready."You are insane, Kelly, hope you know that!" Stacy groaned."Yeah, insane because I told the waiter you are pregnant? Girl, I need the world to know I'm soon going to become an aunt, and if that happens, I'm gonna shut down the whole city, huhooo." Kelly exclaimed and Stacy just shrugged at her silli
