At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover
The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their
At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co
"I wish I had an alternative,” the twenty-one-year-old miserable Rose lamented, and scanned the goods in her scanty country store. Her eyes were wet at once, as they often do each time she thought of her late mother, and her compulsory summer internship which would warrant her to lock her shop for that period.“How would I sustain myself if I…?”“Hey! Do you have any flour that is lower in calories?” A shopper, who was in his twenties, requested, and interrupted her thoughts. The repulsive voice jolted her out of her reverie, and she repressed her tears of helplessness, before she gave the shopper a smile. Then, she inquired, “Do you mean unripe plantago flour?”“Whatever. Do you have it?” The domineering son of the Group Managing Director of the Blue Sea Oil and Gas Group, demanded cursorily. Meanwhile, he did not miss the opportunity to admire the beautiful, but poorly dressed damsel in front of him.“Unfortunately, I don't have any,” Rose pacified. Before she could complete her sen
“Oh! No. You must have been stressed up. Did you check the suburbs?”“Yes. I did, but it was fruitless, too. I will check again tomorrow.”“It's all right. Cheer up.”“Thank you. What about George and Benson? Did you come with them?”“Nope. George went to work with his bucket of bolts, and would not return with me.”“You are correct.”Nevertheless, her husband's presence gave her some boost, and she cheered up. She helped him to pull off his shoes, and afterward, they rested before the dinner. However, he was happy to see his mother-in-law when they walked to the guest room to welcome her.“Welcome, mother-in-law,” Evans greeted.“Thank you, son. I can see that you are good,” his mother-in-law responded.“Yes. I'm fine.”“That's good.”At the Dinner TableThe couple was at the dining table when George, their successor, and Benson Owens, Evans' nephew, joined them.“Good evening, mom and dad,” they greeted one after the other.“Good evening, George and Benson,” the couple responded sim
“You are in pain, my dear. What is the matter?” Mrs. Owens requested with concern. Then, Rose composed, and explained, “I lost my mother two months ago. She died exactly a year after my father died.”“My goodness! Was she ill?”“Yes ma'am. She had sugar disease, and died as a result of improper health care.”“Oh dear, accept my condolences, my dear,” she sympathized.“Thank you, ma'am.”“Permit me to ask what about the other members of your family? I mean your siblings?”Now, Rose bit her lower lip hard, and allowed her tears to flow freely. “I need vanilla sweet,” a mother with a baby requested. Without a second thought, Sarah, who felt disturbed, dismissed her, “Sorry, it's not available.”The disappointed woman left at once with her baby for another store. Then, she faced Rose, and consoled, “Kindly stop crying. It's not good for your health.”“Thank you, ma'am. I have a sibling, but she was abducted by people we are yet to discover. I found her body by the roadside a few days aft
Two Weeks LaterNow, all was set for Rose to leave for her summer internship. She had looked forward to it because it would be an opportunity to have a change of environment and meet new people. Nevertheless, Mrs. Owens' appearance in her life, and her request to be her daughter-in-law, gave her cold feet. She would miss her new-found joy.“Is this the Shop Attendant?” Mrs. Owens asked, after she walked into her shop and met a strange face.“Yes, mom. Her name is Adeline Seymour. Meet my mom, Adeline,” she introduced. Nevertheless, the eighteen-year-old girl greeted warmly, “Good evening, ma'am. I am happy to meet you.”“Good evening, Adeline. It is a pleasure meeting you,” Sarah responded with a soft smile. Then, she turned to Rose and advised, “Be a good girl.”“I will, mom. I will miss you,” she declared with an emotional voice. Howbeit, Sarah looked into her wet eyes, and consoled, “I understand. I will keep in touch.”“All right Mom.”“Inform me when you arrive. Is that clear?”
After six minutes, they were at the train station.“Thank you for the ride, George,” she appreciated after he parked at the train terminal.“I'm glad that I'm of help. I pray that my day will be Rosy.”Now, they were out of the car, and Rose laughed at his joke. They took the luggage out of the car trunk, and he assisted her to take them to the lounge. Then, she began to wait for her departure alongside other passengers. After a few minutes, George announced, “I hope to take my leave.”“It's okay, George. Thank you, once again.”“It's my pleasure. Have a Rosy trip.”She giggled, and complimented too, “Have a Georgy day.” They laughed happily, and thereafter, he left. He walked out of the lounge delighted and got into his car. Meanwhile, he ignored the mockery looks on the faces of the passersby over his clunker.At Dome CityRose Temple arrived at the National Mathematical Center after ten hours. As soon as she settled down, she gave Mrs. Owens a call, and she picked happily, and greet
