At Tim's House They returned home later than usual and met the old man and Samuel sitting on the veranda like deprived children. Despite the herbal soup, he would resist sleeping until Tim and George returned.Nevertheless, they smiled when they heard the sound of a car and waited for the gateman to open the gate. They walked out of the veranda immediately after they saw him to receive him.“Welcome back,” they greeted him when he stopped for Richard to get out of the car.“Thank you,” he answered happily and drove to the garage.To his surprise, they followed him. Before they got to him, he parked and got out of the car.“Good evening, Old man,” he searched his countenance and greeted him.“Good evening, Young man. Welcome back.”“Thank you.”“Good eveBrother-in-lawin-law,” Samuel said and walked to him.He placed his hand on his shoulder and inquired, “Good evening, Samuel. How was your day?”“My day was fine. And yours?”“Fine.”“You are late today. What kept you?”“You are right.
Nevertheless, Valentine had been managing the situation but now, he had reached his limit and breakdown in tears.“I'm innocent. I was not with them,” he sobbed.“We are aware. If they have guts, let them stop you on our way,” Tim declared and quenched his fear.“Thank you, Boss, for trusting me,” he said and dried his tears.“Are you familiar with those criminals?” Richard asked.“Yes, Major.”“It is all right. We are following up on the case. We will see how far they can go with the accusations.”“Thank you, Major, for this.”“You are welcome.”They got to the hotel and met Ambrose, one of his colleagues, the bus driver, and his attendant waiting for them. After the greetings, they checked the consignment and Tim showed satisfaction.“Wow! You have done well for your country,” he complimented him.He smiled from ear to ear in satisfaction and appreciated him, “Thank you for your compliment.”“You are welcome. How much do you think this will cost?” “Ha! It is a lot of money because
The gobsmacked DPO looked at the criminals before he faced the Corporal and screamed, “What! We believed him completely and he had taken my men to his house yesterday even though he was aware that he was telling lies.”“That is why we are here to strengthen things. We will be on our way,” the Corporal said and got up.His men got up as well while the DPO did the same. He walked them to the courtyard and appreciated the Corporal for his timely intervention.“It is my pleasure, DPO. Thank you for the good work you are doing.”“Consider it as nothing. Goodbye.”He watched them as they drove off before he walked back to his office and sent for the Public Relations Officer.They got the leader of the gang to confess and apologize to Valentine and the public.At The Auxiliary Armory PLC George was with the General Manager discussing the President's decision on how Mr. Robbie will move into the former secretary's house when Cpl. Simpson returned. He paused the meeting and listened to his re
At The Estate Pa Dickson and his wife were watching the television and lazing around when Laura returned. She walked into their apartment to check on them as was her practice. Presently, they had adjusted to the janitor's cooking and life was sweet to an extent as they hoped that the boys would come back someday.“You are back,” her father welcomed her delightedly while her mother focused on her.“Yes, Dad. Good evening Mom and Dad.”“Good evening, my dear. How was your day?”“My day was good. And yours?” She asked and sat down on the single couch.“Our day was …,”“Knock. Knock.”Her mother was interrupted by the knock on the door.Meanwhile, Capt. Sawyer wished to see the apartment and instruct his workers on what to do before closing for the day. For that, he was not interested in seeing the occupant of the house who ought to have moved out long ago. He arrived with the company's operational truck, the gallons of paint, and the other materials needed for the work.“Take everything

Both of them were aware that the price was 77,000 pounds sterling per carat but the President was desperate and wished to displace his unknown opponent by all means.“I will offer 79,000 Pound Sterling per carat. I think I am generous enough.”'What!' Tim exclaimed inwardly at his generosity and did not wish to go further in the deceit.“I will get back to you,” he said and tried to end the call.The President was scared that he might lose him and upped his bargain. He would not mind offering an unfavorable price to him provided he would not miss the deal.“Hold on. I can increase it if you are not …"“I will get back to you,” he said and ended the call.He breathed freely for a while before he called him back and pretended that he had discussed it with his other client.“You can have it. Your offer is the same as my contact.”“Oh! Thank you so much. Permit me to ask, how soon can I get the delivery?”“As soon as you wish to come for it.”“That is good. Where are you calling me from?”
At Tim's House After the President of the Sparkling Diamond Exchange paid for the consignment, he was still troubled and called Tim back. He informed him that he was scared to be in Canterbury if Sgt. Young did not approve of the transaction. Tim tried to discourage him from every fear but he was not convinced.At that point, George walked in to get the details of the activity at the field that day. He met Tim persuading someone over the phone and he sat down on the couch. When Tim could not convince him to come over, he said to him, “I will get back to you in a short while.”“It is all right,” the President said and cut the call.Tim faced George and gave him the details of their movement of the consignment to the airport, how he got the details of the buyer up to when he sealed the deal.“Wow! It must be a hectic day for you,” George pointed out.“You are right but it is worth it.”“Yes. You achieved a lot. Congratulations.”“Thank you but there is a problem,” Tim stated.George f
Mr. Kennedy looked at Tim before he faced George and responded, "Kindly appreciate Gerald for considering me. My opponent would have displaced me.""That is good to hear. My Manager will be here shortly with the receipt of your purchase.""It is okay," he said and they began to wait."What do you care for? Tea or coffee?""Coffee, please."George called Bright's attention and he arrived at once. He served the guest a cup of coffee and before he could walk out, Capt. Abram walked in while Tim and Richard excused them.Mr. Kennedy was so happy with the deal after he got the payment receipt. "You can communicate with the manager also whenever you want to order goods," George advised him.He was delighted to hear that and requested a photograph with George.They smiled and Capt. Abram advised him, "Mind what you do with it or you may attract enemies to yourself.""I am aware of that. I will be careful," he responded and they posed for a photograph.Capt. Abram used his phone to help out
“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
“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,
