The Return of General Williams 2 Modern Day Slavery 1
At The Complex's Lobby Laura and her angry lawyer had not rested because of the nonchalant attitude of the company over their petition. The lawyer thought that he should be celebrating as the daring Human Rights Activist to dip his hands into the eyes of the company while she imagined that she should have been richer.Now, Barbara was disturbed with her frequent visits to the toilet each time her phone rang. She had done no work that morning apart from calling and receiving calls while Barbara did all the work.“You may leave me with no choice but to report you to the authorities if you continue like this,” Barbara warned her when she returned from the toilet for the umpteenth time.“What is my offense?” She feigned ignorance of her misconduct and asked.“You will soon find out when the remaining fifty percent of your salary is withheld,” she informed her bluntly.Laura panicked at the truth but could do nothing to defend herself. She just had to grin and bear it.“I was only joking.

Instantly, he got an idea. He looked at the janitor and asked, “Will we prune the flowers in the evening? I would like to see my portion beforehand.” The janitor furrowed his forehead and answered, “The old man has hijacked the pruning of the flowers. Let's find out if he will do that today.” “Okay,” he said and followed him. Meanwhile, when Ella joined him with the flask, he was over the moon and did not hide it. “Wow!” He exclaimed. “Were you pulling my legs?” He asked her. She laughed softly and stated, “I wanted you to eat your fruits before this,” she explained. “That is smart of you. I will eat it after one hour. Right?” “I'm glad that you still remembered.” “Yes. I promise to obey your instructions if that will make me strong enough to do my work.” “I like that,” she said and watched him chew and swallow the last fruit. “Thank you for the fruits,” he appreciated her and rested his back on the chair. “You are welcome,” she said and sat up. “I will be on

“That is good to hear. I hope you had a good time?”“Yes. But I wish to contact her.”“It is all right. Have a lovely day?”“Okay. Bye.”After the call, he looked at the phone and mumbled, “Will they get cross with her for not giving me her contact?”He thought for a while and asked himself, “How do I explain to the General if he finds out that I don't have her contact?”After pondering for a while, he resolved, “I will call George back and request her number.”At The President's Office After the call with his father, George grinned a broad smile and dropped his phone. Instantly, it rang again and he frowned.“Who is that again?” He asked himself with displeasure.Nevertheless, he picked up his phone and looked at it.“He just left. Why is he calling?” He murmured and picked up the call.Meanwhile, Tim left the old man and walked to the parlor where Gerald and Samuel were waiting to receive him. They kept him busy with questions about his day and he almost forgot to call George as he

At Tim's House While the old man was busy racking his brain on how to demystify the story behind Ella's contact, Tim was busy updating the Head of State with the sales in the office.“Your boy has guts. Do you mean that he defiled the standing order of a Field Marshal and sold arms to his enemies,” the Head of State asked?“I was surprised to hear that as well. I was at the site with the miners when he concluded the deal.”“That is good to hear. If the Field Marshal is offended, he can come over,” he teased and Tim laughed aloud.“He will be glad to receive him as he received Gen. Hanklin,” Tim added.They discussed at length concerning the Canterbury Heroes Borough and were glad that things were moving in the expected direction.After their discussions, he called the Second in Command and updated him on the outcome of the day's work.“Wow! I'm glad to hear that he is willing to learn.”“Yes. Your Excellency. Just as we agreed, they will mine for us for the rest of their lives. Apart

“Good evening, Father,” George greeted him and the others looked up.“Good evening, Old Man,” they greeted him simultaneously.“Good evening to you all,” he said and faced George.“How was your day?” “My day was good. And yours?”“My day was good,” he answered and prayed that they should not ask him if he had contacted Ella.To his delight, they were engrossed with their movie and he joined them.“I hope you are prepared for the training tomorrow,” George looked away from the television and asked the two boys.“Yes, we are,” Gerald who could not wait for Saturday to come answered.“It is all right,” he said and focused on the television.Tim, who overheard them recalled that they had not fulfilled their wish to take the old to the Atlantic Ocean the previous week, looked up. His eyes met with his and he feared that he may ask him about Ella.“We may visit the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow if it is convenient,” Tim announced.Despite himself, he was happy.“That is good to hear. I miss my f

To avoid it coming back to him, he got into the car quickly and shut the door. Tim who was already behind the wheel turned on the ignition.“Are we set?” He asked and they chorused, “Yes.”He moved and Jerry drove behind him. The three in the back seat were happy with the outing and could not appreciate him enough.“Thank you for the outing, Brother-in-law,” Gerald appreciated him and the others borrowed a leaf from him.They appreciated Tim one after the other and he responded, “It is my pleasure.”He drove on in silence and not long, they slept off. George was lost in thought and asked, “Who knows how the witch is fairing?”Tim laughed and declared, “As far as I am concerned, she is as good as dead.”“You are right.”He got to the complex and parked at the first gate while Jerry drove to the main gate and got in. Collins got out of the car and headed to the Transport Department while he joined Tim at the gate and they returned home.At Tim's HouseThe sleepers were not aware that th

“Sure. You can always tell me how you feel,” she declared.“That is good to hear. What about you? Will you always call to check on me?”She looked up and saw a strange look on his face. She lowered her gaze and answered, “I will.”“I like that. You can take my number,” he said and called out his number.She punched it into her phone, dialed it, and waited for it to ring.“That is me calling you,” she informed him and he smiled.“Thank you for this.”“It is my pleasure,” she said and covered the empty plate.“Do you wish to leave so early? I thought you were off work?”“Yes. I have to release the driver.”“I see. Will you be here tomorrow?”“Yes. I have a reward for you for washing the flask.”The old man who had washed clothes and cooked food for Cecelia and she did not appreciate it was surprised that a little gesture could appeal to a woman.“Reward for me? I can't wait to have it,” he declared enthusiastically.“I will be back,” she said and got up.“OK,” he said and watched her as

“Sgt. Young is here,” one of them shouted and they tried to rush at him.“What?” George shouted and Jerry blocked them. “Submit your phones to the Corporal if you wish to serve here,” George shouted.Now, the two managers were out of the elevator and could not understand what happened. The Corporal who had cautioned them severally stepped forward. They willingly began to hand over their phones to him. The security team members helped too.“Ensure that they submit their phones every morning as soon as they arrive,” he instructed the Corporal and moved.“I got it, General.”He saw the befuddled managers standing. All the same, he saluted them and they returned the salute.He left them and walked to the elevator.“What happened?” Capt. Bolton asked the Corporal.“They were making noise and taking selfies when he walked in,” he explained.“And they tried to rush at him,” Barbara added.At that point, the General Manager was furious. Barbara was frightened to her wits to see him in that m

At The Complex.A slave may also have slaves. Tim wished to see Stephanie and would not want to explain his purpose of visiting her to the General Manager. Instantly, he came up with a reason for him to leave the complex and called George.He picked up the call immediately and greeted him, “Hello, Boss. How may I assist you?”“Hello, George. Kindly get your managers to find out if the borough is ready for His Excellency to use it on Sunday.”“Huh! Sunday?”“Yes. It is urgent. We just got off an emergency meeting.”“It is all right, Boss. We will be there right away.”“Thank you for that,” he appreciated him and cut the call.George informed the General Manager of the development and he was on his toes. However, he was happy to hear that. He recalled the line of wisdom that said, to whom much is given, much will be required and attributed it to the recent promotion.He informed the other managers and they converged in the vestibule.Shortly, Tim drove in and arrived at George's office

At Tim's House They met the old man waiting for them in the parlor and felt bad.“We apologize for keeping you waiting, Old man,” Tim apologized when they walked in.He smiled and accepted, “Never mind, Young man. How was your outing?” He looked at the two boys and inquired.“It was fine, Old man,” they answered immediately.“Welcome back,” Francis who began to set the table when they returned, greeted them.“Thank you, Francis,” they responded immediately.Afterward, they settled down to eat. “Was she surprised to see the gifts?” The old man asked curiously.“Yes, Old man. She almost fainted,” Samuel answered.“I recorded everything," Gerald said and the old man requested to see it.He turned on his device and passed it to him. He began to watch the video and Tim studied his countenance.“Oh! She appreciated it,” he said when she hugged Samuel.“Yes, Old man. She is a nice person,” Samuel pointed out.“You are right. It is obvious.”Tim was happy to hear that and asked further, “Is

At The Lobby After Laura's father upset her the previous day, she had not fed well. She was hoping to do that at the canteen during lunch. Now, Barbara wished to impede that.“I can't wait for her anymore. It is my right to go for lunch and I won't miss it because she chose to be away from work for no good reasons,” she concluded. Although troublesome, she was justified in being upset. When she saw some workers returning from lunch with their bottles of sweet drinks and neatly packaged cake, her desire to be at the canteen increased.“She can explain her truancy to Capt. Jaja,” she said picked up her phone and walked out of the cubicle.She was walking briskly and bypassed George who was walking back leisurely with Jerry and his colleagues. He smiled inwardly and said, “You came too late.”Nevertheless, she got to the junior staff canteen and ordered her food before she sat down. While she was waiting, she saw the gigantic cake in the senior staff canteen and wished to have a taste

At The Canteen After the clerk left to get Stephanie, Tim walked back to his car which he parked at a vantage point so that he could see through the canteen's transparent glass window. He smiled heartily when he saw her walking with the two.“Oh, my God! She is pretty,” he said to himself.Meanwhile, George and the other managers had recovered from the shock of the decorations and were sitting on their seats. Samuel was with Bright and taking instructions from him. On the other hand, Bright had informed Barbara that she must work closely with him and return to her office after the celebration.“Ha! Miss Dickson will be mad at me if I fail to return on time,” she made clear.“Tell her that I delayed you,” he undertook for her, and she was calm.Meanwhile, the General Manager and clerk walked Stephanie to the door like a father who walked her daughter through the aisle on her wedding day. Stephanie glared at Bright and said, “You have done your worst. Right?”The GM overlooked her bic

“I'm here, Secretary,” he said when he got to the office.“That's good. I called you because …,” he explained.The clerk smiled happily and asked him, “What do you want me to do?”“Let's go. The cake will arrive soon.”“It is all right.”They got to the lobby and Bright gave Laura a hateful look. He smiled at Barbara and requested, “Kindly come with me, Barbara.”“Oh!” She exclaimed, got up from her seat, and adjusted her wears. Laura could not look at them but kept herself busy with her phone. When Barbara was set, she joined them and they moved. Nobody was surprised when she looked at them with an unreadable expression until they walked out of the door.Within her, she wished to be like Barbara who could relate freely with everyone.“Where are we going, Secretary?” Barbara asked.“To the canteen,” he explained and moved on.Instantly, his phone rang and it was the attendant. He stopped in his tracks and picked up the call. The two stopped, too, and waited for him.“Hello.”“Hello,

“My goodness. Mine was in October. I should have informed him so that he would return the gesture,” Bright teased.“Too bad. That will be in the coming year. I called you to plan it out. How will he surprise her?”“Does he have any gift for her?”“Yes. One of them is a cake. I will give you the contact of an attendant in the mall. You can ask her to deliver it.”“I see. Leave the planning for me. I will inform the General Manager and he will keep her busy until we are set.”“That is good. One more thing. I don't want the former secretary to be part of the celebration. You know the feud between them.”Bright smiled slyly and said, “I got it, Boss. I know what to do to her.”“I trust you. I want a seamless job.”“You can count on me, Boss. Congratulations once again on your well-deserved promotion,” he said sincerely.“Thank you for the compliment. Kindly share the pictures and videos with me.”“I will do that after editing them.”“That is good to hear. Thank you for always covering my

“Oh! I did not see it that way. We should do something different from Oliver's regime. I will invite the Head of State or his representative to the celebration,” the fake Duke said.“Yes. Then you will collect the certificate of recognition,” another elder said.“Also remind him of our allocation. We will use part of it for the celebration,” Elder Kefas stated.They wallowed in fools' paradise and they were happy to arrive at a consensus.At Tim's House They returned home happily and the old man was emotional. He looked at Tim and poured out his mind, “I would have been dead by now if not for you, Young man.”George, who was about to walk to his room, was touched and stopped in his tracks. He faced Tim and waited for his response.“Think nothing about it, Old man. We would all have been dead,” he said and faced Samuel.Samuel was emotional, too, but he smiled dryly and rested his head on Tim's chest. He crossed his left hand on his shoulders and the old man said, “I'm hearing this fo

The old man was beautifully dressed for the celebration, and people like Ella would not recognize him because he looked younger and healthier.He got up and they walked to the podium while the audience looked on in awe. The Head of State smiled and said, “Welcome to the podium again Mr. Young.”“Thank you, Your Excellency,” he looked into his eyes and said.George furrowed his brow and looked on in wonderment while the Head of State continued, “Canterbury wished to recognize you for a specific deed. In less than a year, the brave son you gave to us has served Canterbury gallantly. Through him, we conquered nations. He administered justice where necessary. We can also say that he shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword. His youth, which would have been his weakness, was turned to strength. He became powerful in battle and destroyed foreign armies and enemies.”He stopped when the clapping ovation was louder than his Mic. Therefore,

He looked at the directions of the Archbishop and his team of bishops and clergymen. In the same vein, he looked at the Chief Judge and his team and they were smiling.Nevertheless, he continued his speech by enumerating the achievements of the company since the new President took over and the audience was thrilled.“Finally, it may interest you to know that we discovered The Blue Diamond, a rare precious stone in Canterbury…”The audience interrupted him and began to murmur, “Ha!”“Wow!”“The Blue Diamond in Canterbury!”“This is splendid.”“Very impressive.”Afterward, he continued, “That is the icing on the cake. The country has never experienced such in her history and we return all the glory to God.”“Amen,” they chorused.“Finally, with your prayers and support, we promise to do more. The Canterbury Heroes Borough and the Steel Mill will be ready before the half of the coming year. Thank you for listening,” he concluded and carefully avoided the defeat of Gen. Hanklin of South C
