(Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. The Holy Bible)

(That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. The Holy Bible)

Although they were kneeling and their eyes closed, the sentences described the person of the Head of State and he was glad to know that the clergy recognized that.

In the course of the service, the Archbishop invited him and his wife for a special prayer. He stood up and helped his wife to get up as well. They walked hand in hand to the altar and he pleaded, “Your Grace, may I request the members of my council to join me?”

“Your wish is granted, Your Excellency,” he said and they filed out immediately.

At that point, he stretched out his left hand to his Chief Security Officer, who was be

    Monday At The HeadquartersThe Head of State was relieved and it was visible to all. His phone began to ring the moment he got to the office and he had been answering and receiving compliments from friends and fellow Heads of State.Likewise, Kay walked in to check on him.“Is there any news about the poster?” He asked him after he took his seat.“None yet, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. My CSO is on it.”“That is good.”“I saw a congratulatory message from the Defense Minister of Kings Land. Could it be a ploy?”“Ha! It may not be and he may be innocent of the post.”“I think so. The poster should confess on his own accord. Otherwise, I will not spare his life if detected.”“You just said my mind, Your Excellency. Tim is good at fishing out such people,” he made clear.“I see.”They discussed other issues, especially the promotion of officers and the upcoming Founding Day before Kay returned to his office.At The Mining FieldPa Suresh was the most favored by Samuel's birthday a

    At Tim's House.It has been some weeks since their beautiful relationship was strained due to the old man's low self-esteem and Ella could not tell her offense. She felt unwanted and wished to withdraw from the services she gave to him. Not because she hated him, but because each time she thought of visiting him and the cold shoulders she would get, she felt bad.“Why is he withdrawn? Could it be connected to his health?” She pondered and wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks“We no longer chat at night,” she sniffed.Now, making up her mind to stop was as difficult as continuing. Nevertheless, she was consumed by his well-being and resolved to continue. Mere seeing him feed well was enough encouragement for her.She was with him that day, and after his meal, she said, “Have a lovely day, Old man.”Previously, he would have urged her to stay longer but did not.“Same here,” he responded curtly without attempting to get up and walk her to the gate.Nevertheless, she swallow

    “Kindly sit down,” Levi requested and sat down on one of the chairs.“Excuse me,” the janitor said and left.The old man ignored him and stood still. He studied him as he tried to bring out the stuff from the basket.“Who sent you to me?” He asked him.Levi looked up from his basket and answered, “Sgt. Courtney, my supervisor sent me to you, Old man.”'George and his boss must have asked him to withdraw Ella,' he thought.All the same, he swallowed hard and sat down. He focused on Levi who had opened the fruit bowl. He picked up one of the fruits and began to eat.“Yummy!” He exclaimed joyously.He locked eyes with the old man and could not read his expression.“Eat, Old man,” he said after swallowing the fruit.Without waiting for him to start, he picked up another fruit and threw it into his mouth.“This is the kind of fruit I like,” he said with a silly grin while chewing it.'They noticed that I was not happy with Ella and replaced her with this glutton,' he thought.“I can see th

    “Come with me,” he said and climbed the staircase.“Okay, Boss,” he said and followed him at once.“Were you aware that Ella did not come today?” He asked him when they got to the room.“No, I am not. What happened?”“I don't know either. The janitor said that a male staff came to care for him.”“A male staff? Who could that be?”“The old man is hysterical. I think he should see a doctor.”“Ha! What happened to him?” He asked anxiously and tried to get up.“Calm down. He will be fine. I have asked Francis to prepare his herbal soup for him.”“I don't get it. Didn't the male staff serve him any?”“I don't think so. I didn't see the flask.”“Huh!” he exclaimed and stared at the wall.“You can change your clothes and get ready for the hospital. Okay?”“I got it,” he said and got up.A few minutes later, George returned after he had changed his clothes. They got to the old man's room and met him eating. Apart from Ella's absence, his system needed to be fed but it was deprived and disorga

    “Don't take it too far, Mrs. Suresh. I thought we were family, and you should let me know that she is leaving for school.”She walked to the vacant chair and sat down before she agreed, “You are right for thinking that way. We are supposed to let you know.”“It is all right. Where is the school if I may ask?”Now, Ann was through with the other person and joined them. She sat beside her mother and answered, “Belgium.”“Yes. University of Ghent,” her mother concurred.Instantly, he had some butterflies in his stomach but concealed it. The distance by flight to Belgium from Christchurch was 6 hours and he considered it too far away.“Why are you going to Belgium when they have a campus in Birmingham?”“That is the campus I was posted to.”“Maybe it is because she applied late,” her mother chipped in.Nevertheless, he composed himself and complimented her, “Congratulations.”“Thank you, Supervisor, for your understanding.”“You are welcome,” he said and ordered his food.While eating, he

They got to the foyer and saw George and his team. He got out of the car with his devices and a bag.Samuel walked to him, welcomed him,m and collected the bag.“Why so early,” Tim asked him.He saluted him accordingly and informed him about the results of the promotional exams.Tim was thrilled. He spread his arms and said, “This calls for a hug.”“Yes, Boss,” he said and walked into the outspread hands.They hugged each other tightly. After a few seconds, Tim tapped his back and said, “I am proud of you.”“Thank you for the compliment. I promise not to let you down.”They released each other, and he hugged his father, too, “Congratulations, Son. I am pleased to hear this,” he complimented him.“Thank you, Dad.”Afterward, they walked in

    At The General Manager's Office“Hey! You always come when he is not on his seat,” Stephanie announced excitedly when he walked in.“Really?” He asked with a happy demeanor.“Yes. Good morning,” she answered.“Good morning, Secretary. I can wait for him.”“It is all right. Kindly sit down,” she said and ushered him to a seat.“Thank you, for the offer,” he said and sat down.“What of the clerk?” He looked at his empty table and asked.She looked towards the pantry and saw him walking back to his desk.“Are you through?” Stephanie asked him.“Yes, Secretary,” he answered and sat down. He faced Tim and greeted him cheerfully, “Good morning, Sir.”“Good morning, Clerk. How are you?”“I'm fine, Sir. Did you travel?” He asked with concern.Tim was surprised to hear him and answered all the same, “No. I did not. Why did you ask?”“Secretary said you traveled, and I said no, you could be busy.”Stephanie laughed and said, “You have won. He did not travel.”The clerk laughed happily and Tim l

    He recalled how he laughed with Ella the day she said that her choice of gift depended on who was giving it to her. Instantly, his mood dropped and he rounded up his dinner.“What if we give her a neutral thing that is generally accepted? Such as a handset?” George asked without noticing his father's mood.The old man got up and they were surprised. They focused on him, and he said, “Good night, everyone.”“We have not concluded, Old man,” Samuel revolted.He smiled dryly and said, “The birthday is not now. Is it?”“No, Old man.”“Good. We can continue tomorrow.”“It is all right. Good night.”“Good night,” everyone said simultaneously and they continued.Tim was pleased with George's suggestion and added, “A handset is good. We can also gift her with a cake.”“Yes. In addition to the handset, we will gift her with a cake that will be decorated beautifully with her picture,” Samuel accepted.“And her name written boldly on it,” Gerald stated.“That is a good one,” George accepted.Now

    In The Morning Tim, George, and the boys were preparing to go for their shooting training when he got a disturbing call from Richard.“Where are you?” He asked him at once.“I am at the gate, Boss,” he answered him.“I will be with you, shortly,” he said and walked out of his room.He got to George's room and informed him that he wished to visit the mining field. He frowned his face and asked, “On a Saturday? You need your rest.”“I know. Take the boys to the shooting range. I may meet you there,” he instructed him and moved quickly to avoid more questions.“It is all right,” he answered and continued dressing up.Tim got to the garage and drove to the gate. Richard joined him and he moved.“Kindly read the message to my hearing,” he requested and Richard did.After listening to him, he asked him, “When did this happen?”“I don't know.”“Have you not spoken with him?”“No, Boss. I woke up and saw the message and decided to come over at once.”“That is good. I wonder who would have

    That evening, they closed from work for the day and resolved to visit the estate and show their appreciation for their cooperation.Likewise, they brought some farm produce to them. To cap it all, the hunters among them brought five sizeable edible gray squirrels.“These are from our hearts. Kindly accept them,” one of them said cheerfully.The workers focused on Valentine who was thrilled with the gesture. The foreigners were thrilled with the neighborliness and waited for him to speak.“This is wonderful. We are happy to know that you found us worthy of your friendship. We appreciate it,” he said.“Thank you for accepting us.”“I hope no one is molesting?” Valentine asked.“No, Supervisor. We appreciate you for your presence.”“You are welcome,” Valentine said and they walked away.He turned and looked at Pa Suresh, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “What do we do with the gray squirrels? I have not eaten it for a long time?”Before he could speak, Tyler and his friends walked

    “Thank you, Mark,” they responded one after the other.“Kindly take us to the pavilion,” George requested.“It is all right, President,” he answered and led the way. They moved with him and George was surprised to see Tim walking with the General Manager.'When did he arrive?' He asked himself.Some days are heavy but Tim had to grin and bear it. They checked the pavilion and took notes of the minor work they needed to do before Sunday. George did not have the chance to speak with Tim. However, he was confused when he got on the bus with them.When he looked around and did not see his clunker, he asked himself, 'Did he come with us?'Tim was obediently sitting beside the GM like a wimp and he had forgotten about him. They returned to the complex afterward and got out of the bus. To avoid missing out completely that day, he decided to take the plunge.He followed the General Manager back to his office. When they got to the door, he asked him, “What brings you, Driver?”Now, he had ope

    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
