Phoebe felt that she had just been defeated verbally.There really was more to this Nancy girl than meets the eye.'Jason will have to do something about you. If he does not, then I shall. Not only should you be thrown out of this house but out of your job as well. Afterall, you aren't even taking it very seriously.You have the strength and presence of mind to speak to me this way but you cannot go to work to justify the wage you are paid?' Phoebe said and walked away from the quarters, with her head held high but within her, her confidence was badly shaken.Phoebe went straight to her house. If not for the fact that she had wanted to put Nancy in her place or use emotional blackmail on her in such a way that she would leave Jason and the mansion of her own accord, she would not have come there that day.Now her intention had backfired because Nancy had spoken to her in a way she had not expected to be spoken to, definitely not by her.She knew that Jason would do nothing if she rep

Nancy had not had the time to speak to Jason about Phoebe's conspiracy. Anytime she wanted to bring up the topic, Jason would ask one thing or the other that would make her forget about it and by the time she remembered, the opportunity would be lost.She decided that she was going to wait till after the celebrations and then tell him before she left his house if she still felt inclined to.They got home after the day's work to hear the squeaking laughter of children in the house.'My sister must have arrived. I can hear the laughter of my niece and nephew', Jason said, so happy as he jumped out of the car and went up the stairs, calling out to them.They heard their names, recognized their uncle's voice and came running towards him with their arms stretched for their uncle to lift them.Nancy followed behind him, marvelling at this new side of Jason she had not known existed.Jason lifted the boy and threw him up in the air and he bubbled with laughter.'Why did you not come to the a

Jason had asked his employees to give suggestions on how to make that year's party a succeed but different from the others that had been held over the years and so far all the suggestions he had got did not impress him one bit.'Why don't we ask, everybody to bring something good which they may not need anymore or if they can afford it, buy something and then the company can buy more and all these gifts can be gathered and distributed to needy children. It will gain you the blessings and love of such children and go a long way to improving the image of the company'.Nancy suggested one day as she was sitting with Sally and Jason, taking down notes of what needed to be bought.Both Sally and Jason looked at her and we're amazed. They wondered why such an idea had not occured to them.Nancy saw their surprised faces and hastened to add.'I am sorry if I have spoken out of turn but as we enjoy, there are some people who may have nothing to eat or wear and nobody to buy them gifts and ma

The party started. All the decorations were done it was to take place in the big hall of the company. And the decorations was worthy of praise.There was enough food of assorted types.The gifts for the children had also been transfered to the venue and buses made available to convey the children who live far from the company to the venue.It had been agreed that the children would be attended to first and their gifts given them and then afterwards,later,the main party would commerce.The children ate to their hearts' content and even had food packaged for them to take home. Nancy was in charge of this together with Anna.'This idea of yours is really worthy of a trophy. I will not be surprised if you are promoted die to this. This is real advert for the company. I do not know why I had not thought of it first'.Nancy laughed and patted her on the back.'You could ha e thought of it too. I just happened to think of it first but you will give us a better idea next time' she consoled.'

As Jason wanted to go inside after successfully disengaging himself from Rebecca's cloying presence, he saw Alfred come in. He was expecting to see Nancy walk in behind him but she didn't.Jason stopped. He had to speak to Nancy. He changed direction and went outside.Phoebe saw him leave and followed him, and was just in time to see Jason drag Nancy into the garden.She was furious and wanted to go back in because she felt that they had gone there to have an intimate moment together but on second thoughts, she decided to follow them and see what they were really up to.'Nancy, I thought that you were different from the rest but you just proved me wrong'.'What are you talking about?' she asked surprised.'What am I talking about? Have you added pretense to the list if your vices now? Vices that I never knew existed till tonight'.'Jason, you are not making sense. What have I done?''What have you done? You kissed Alfred passionately. That's what. Can you deny that?'Nancy understood
