SANDRA
To say I'm surprised by Darlene's plans will be an understatement. I'm impressed... completely out of words.
That was a great thought there! And to imagine Jasper is involved!
There surely will be trouble in paradise. They have to suffer for what they did to poor Darlene. Framing her and sending her to prison after eloping together! They deserve more torture. Speak of karma!

It's on a Monday morning and I'm armed to the teeth as I board a cab to work. Today is Lucy's turn to prepare tea and serve the boss. Unfortunately, Jayson won't be around because I overheard him telling the boss that he'll be traveling to God knows where. This just makes my work easier.
When I finally arrive in the office, Lucy is busy boiling some tea. Lucy and I have never been in good terms since I got employed here. She thinks I'm here to take her job away from her.
Too bad...she might be losing her job tod

SANDRA“How did it go?”Jasper asks immediately we hit the road.“Great!” I exclaim. I feel like I'm a conquerer. “I had him where I needed him. Carmela will bring the video to us.”I reply excitedly.“In that case, we need to wait for her call.” he says excitedly. “Kate needs to see the video so that she may sign the divorce papers without thinking twice.” he adds, his face a mixture of both delight and victory.“Yeah, sure.” I nod “I promised to call her but I need to dispose these phones and get myself a new one and a sim card to avoid being traced.” I conclude thoughtfully.“It's okay.” He says. “Ben, you need to make a stop at the nearest motel. We need to have some drinks as we wait for someone.”He adds.“Okay sir

DARLENE“How dare you George Mar...” She starts ranting the moment she steps into the office. Her mouth is agape the moment she notices a full room.“What?” She gasps!“Darlene?”“How dare he divorce you...” I ask sarcastically clapping my hands and eyeing her daringly. “Or, how dare he record a sex tape in his office?”I add, glaring at her.“Don't you ever call out my name again you double timing bitch!”I scoff at her.“Darlene I'm sorry, I know I messed up big time.”She says, her eyes scrutinising and studying the five strange men in the office closely.“Geoffrey? Is that you?”She instantly freezes, eyeing from George to Geoffrey.She seems to recognise the three guys who presented the divorce papers to her but she remains mum.

Apparently, he didn't know the prison I was in because his uncle couldn't tell him anything.”She explains.“But Jeff warned you against visiting them until you're sure their minds haven't been poisoned?”I ask.“Yes he did but I couldn't avoid bumping into him in the college administration
