“Did the GM's wife walk out on him?” George asked anxiously.“Yes. For over ten years.”“That is serious,” George remarked. “Even the former GM walked out on his wife and children,” Sarah made clear.“What! When?” George demanded anxiously.“As soon as he was sacked,” Sarah pointed out.“We should be careful with the people to allow into our lives,” Evans warned.“You're right, uncle. That is why I never bothered about her. The right woman will come.”“Certainly. George, I hope you are set to return to school?”George, who was processing the information he got about relationships, responded, “Yes, dad.”“We will go with you. I wish to see what your school looks like,” Joe offered.“I will go too,” Cynthia declared.“Everyone should get ready. You are going together. Richard is back. Let him know when you are ready,” Evans stated.“For your information, Oliver, you are going to school with me tomorrow,” Sarah informed.“Okay, Aunty.”“Joe and Cynthia, won't you go to her school with O
Now, Susan was ashamed and short of words because Tony was right. She was aware of those lapses and overlooked them. Although, she never liked the school, Bruno enrolled them there just to ensure that they were away and far away from home. Besides, the school fee was low. After a few minutes of silence, Tony spoke, “We will hang around, and return by 4 PM. Maybe the other students would have returned by then.”He did not wait for their opinions before he moved, and the security vans followed. He gave the driver a call and announced, “We are going to the Amusement Park.”“Okay, boss.”Tony had no children, and was not taught how to be a good father. It was innate. At that point, apart from the children, Susan was happy too. He turned and looked at them, and saw the joy on their faces. Other than that, Tony was fulfilled too. The children had a good time at the park, and at 3:30 they left for the school.'Is he not afraid that he might run into his wife?' Susan thought when he saw his c
At Susan's HouseUnknown to her, she was weeping when she got home, and her maid misunderstood her.“Oh! Madam, are you missing the children already?”She ignored her and walked to the room and her thoughts wandered around. When she learned that her husband left, she was not pained, as her entanglement with Tony disorganized her. For certain, she loved him, and wished to be with him, but socially, she could not help herself. She would not condescend to be his mistress, which she perceived was an affront to her integrity.Two Weeks LaterAt the VillageThe wave of the news of the banishment and incarceration of the youths had rested, and Peter's parents, especially his mother, had learned to accept defeat. In all his smartness, he earned as little as one thousand Naira. When the mother got the details, especially that the security guards, who did not report to work at all, were paid, she learned how to humble herself. Nevertheless, Oliver's mother and sister were disturbed. Although, n
To Ada, their cases were not as unreasonable as the traditional ruler's own, and she presumed that she could handle them. Then, Ada responded, “The guards were disengaged long ago, even before the funeral.”Now, the daughter took it up from there, “We are aware of that, but we have come to collect his pay. I learned that he worked for free and was not paid.”“Who says that he was not paid?” Ada inquired indifferently. Now, the two were doubtful of the rumor they heard about Oliver. It occurred to them that they never heard from Oliver that he would not be paid. Then, his mother changed her tactics.“Oh! I see. Where is he?” She asked anxiously.At least, her eyes had opened, and it was likely that her son was paid him, and he kept the money to himself. Then, Ada responded to her question with another question, “Are you asking me? Like I said, the guards were disengaged long ago.”Now, the confused mother and daughter exchanged glances. They wished to see him at once before he spent th
At the Blue Sea Oil and Gas Group.It had been two weeks after Tony made love with Susan, and the experience was always fresh to him. After that Sunday that he took the children back to school, Tony returned from the training energetic, and had his dinner before he went to sleep. He woke up on Monday morning, refreshed and delighted that he had succeeded in putting his feelings towards Susan in check, but he was mistaken. He got out of his house and saw his driver waiting for him in the courtyard. Thereafter, he got into the back seat and shut the door.“Good morning, boss,” the driver greeted.“Good morning, Cyril. How is your family?”“My family is fine, boss.”Asking of his family was one of the attributes Cyril loved about his new boss. For the nine months that he had worked for him, he had shown interest in his family. As a contract worker, he is not entitled to any benefits like the staff of the organization, but Tony had made life comfortable for him and his family. He helped h
As for communication, his speech was not as polished as others, but he worked on it, and he was delighted with the progress. Before Frank and the rest left, they had introduced him to karate and driving. To everyone's surprise, he was able to move a car unsupervised after two days of training.At Felix's House.The christening had come and gone. Coincidentally, Felix's mother chose the very name they had in mind for the baby. Her reason was simple. During the bickering between Sharon and Felix, she would have suffered a miscarriage or decided to abort it. It was only God's grace that sustained the baby. Now, the couple were planning to legalize their union at a low-key because of his job. Nevertheless, Felix woke up one morning and asked, “Baby, what about your car and house? I have been too busy to ask.”Sharon was weakened by the question. She was lost of how to retrieve her certificate. Then, she gave the answer she could think of, “He seized them after I had the baby.”Now, Sharon
Felix's PerspectivesAfter Sharon said that Bruno seized her house and car after she had the baby, he did not comment on it, but instantly resolved on what to do. Naturally, he was a man of few words, but full of actions. That was one of the reasons he ran away from Bruno the day he was hot on his heels.Nevertheless, he spied on Bruno for three days and discovered that he lived in the house and slept there with different women and girls. “This man is irresponsible. What about his family?” He mumbled on one of the occasions that he spied on him.“The boss, who is he?” His orderly inquired on one occasion. Felix simply replied, “He is a wrinkly that I want to teach how to respect his old age and mind his family.”“I see reason with you, boss. The girls I see him sleep with are young enough to be his daughters,” The orderly pointed out. “You see what I mean. By the time we chased him out of the house, he would return to his wife and children.”“Yes, boss. And stop ruining the destini
“I need to know, Tony, what are your plans for getting married? You cannot continue like this.”Now, Tony showed worries, but the GMD was not bothered about the worried look on his face because it was a fact that he must face. Moreover, he could not yell at him the way he yelled at Susan. So, the GMD faced him and waited for his response. Now, Tony had no choice, but to speak.“I'm afraid of embarrassment,” he pointed out. “What do you mean by embarrassment? You are not the first person with health issues, are you?”“Not at all, boss.”“Good. Then you will not be the last. Would you?”“I will not, boss.”“Good. Monica was not meant to be your wife,” he declared bluntly.At that point, Tony was perplexed, and only fixed his eyes on the GMD. Then, he continued, “It is wrong to permit everyone into your life. If she had loved you, she would have stood by you and get a solution to your problem.”Previously, Tony had taken the blame to himself and, above all, he kept his problem to himsel
