He left the parlor and walked back to his room. The thought of Ella's arrival warmed his heart and he began to watch the time in anticipation.

A few minutes before her arrival, he walked to the garden and sat down. He looked at the flowers and noticed that he had not pruned them for some time and resolved to do that in the evening.

"Hello, Old Man," she greeted him joyously and he smiled lavishly.

"Welcome, Ella. How is work?"

"Work is fine. How is your day?"

"Fine. I will be busy with the flowers this evening. I will take my herbal soup after that. Will that be okay?"

Ella looked at the flowers and agreed with him, "It is all right. But it will make you go to sleep earlier and we will not chat today."

"Oh, my God."

"Yes. You will not make me laugh before I go to sleep," she pointed out.

"It is just for today."

"I can understand. You need to work or your boss will be offended."

"Thank you for your understanding," he appreciated him and took the fruits alone.

Her mother asked anxiously.Her question aroused fear in them and they were calm. They watched them until the truck was empty and the driver finally drove away. Capt.

    The Next DayA home without a woman - mother, wife, or sister may be incomplete. In their case, the home was complete without the gender. They did not miss out on anything. Saturdays were for rest and fun and they cherished it. They were at the shooting range as usual but Tim trained with them while the old man watched them from the car.Samuel was happy to see Tim training with them and he recalled the day he tried to teach him how to defend himself. He laughed inwardly at his folly and continued training.When they were through, they returned to the house and had their breakfast. Afterward, they rested while Tim continued monitoring Ambrose's messages to Gen. Hanklin. At that point, he was distressed and more demanding. He listed all he needed to do with money and why he must reimburse him as he promised and pay him for his services."We are generous to consider employing you and your men. Just calm down and work so that you can earn genuinely," Tim said to himself after reading his

    “What kept you for long?” she asked him anxiously.“I was almost losing my mind,” she declared.The human slash werewolf was pleased to hear that, and he inquired instantly, “Did you miss me?” Meanwhile, she was desperate to know him, so without answering his question, she asked, “How do I trace you if I wish to?”The human slash werewolf looked into her eyes and saw a longing that thrilled him, and he was elated. Then, he inched closer, cupped her face, and asked again, “Did you miss me?”“Yes. I miss you. But how do I trace you whenever I miss you?” “I'm pleased to hear that you miss me. Does that mean that you have chosen a true lover for yourself instead of the politically arranged one?”“You know the answer to the question. Kindly stay with me, and don't leave me anymore.”“I will not stay with you.""Why?" The Princess asked fearfully."I would rather take you with me," he declared.The Princess was bewildered, and asked at once, “How will you do that? The palace is highly sec

    The rest handed theirs to him one after the other. Afterward, he faced the General Manager for the next instruction."Let us have the result, please.”“Okay, Captain,” he said and began to unfold the papers and displayed them one after the other while they watched him.At last, he revealed that three people voted for the citizens and six for Mr. Kennedy.“Unpatriotic citizens,” Capt. Graham blurted out and they laughed aloud.The third vote for the citizens vindicated George who was quiet during the argument. None of them could say whom he stood for. It would have been easier to dictate if the votes for the citizens were two and it would be obvious that only the Accountant and Capt. Bruce voted in favor of the citizens.“This is business and must be given a business approach,” George stated.“You are right, Sergeant. Besides, no citizens had indicated interest,” Capt. Trenton said.“And we can't go looking for them. A bird at hand ….”“Is worth two in the bush,” they interrupted Capt.

    “Excuse me, Your Excellency. How did your reconciliation meeting go?”He ignored him and joined the taxi driver who just stopped in front of him.At Raino Gen. Anderson had embarrassed his country enough and the citizens were not happy. Before he boarded the plane, he learned from the news that there was a coup in his country, and his Second in Command was the interim Head of State.“I expected that,” he mumbled. In the broadcast, all their borders were closed, and no one could travel in or out of Raino. He was disoriented when he heard that the flight he booked had been canceled.“Ha! What have I done to myself,” he murmured.Now, the passenger was disgruntled and blamed him for their predicament. “Look at what the Head of State has caused,” they grumbled.At that point, he needed to hide his face to avoid being lynched. Without security guards and pressmen, he was not significant, and it favored him. He sneaked out of the lobby and headed to the airport hotel as a commoner.At Th

    “It is a brief trip. I hope to be back tomorrow,” he explained.“It is okay. I wish you a safe trip,” Tim stated and he was pleased.“Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”He was relieved that he had crossed the hurdle. He thought that he would ask many questions but he did not. Likewise, he returned to work afterward. The day moved gradually and Tim continued to work in the vehicle while Richard and the chef continued to survey the place. After a while, he called the Second in Command.“Hello, Tim. How are you?”“Hello. Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I'm great,” he answered and updated him on Ambrose's proposed trip.The Second in Command smiled softly and advised him, “Permit him to fool himself.”“I got it, Your Excellency. One more thing.”“Yes. Let's hear it.”“I have asked the construction company to construct a mobile house in the field for the workers.”“Why mobile houses?”“I opted for that because we don't know where the precious stones are and erecting a permane

    Samuel was in high spirits as the birthday drew closer, and it affected everyone, especially the old man who was always at home with him. Their union was a relief to Tim and the others who go to work because they had learned to be alone. Meanwhile, Samuel was a lovely chap to be with and for the first time, the old man remembered that he had no physical money.“How do I support him on his birthday?” He asked himself.After much deliberation, he concluded, “He will revoke the fixed deposit account and get some precious stones. We can sell them and get some cash.” George returned from work that day, and he informed him of his intentions. George did not want to argue with him.“How much do you wish to support him with?” He asked after listening to him.His father informed him of the amount and he accepted it, “It is all right. Is there anything else you want me to know?”“Nothing for now,” he answered and he left for his room.They converged at the dining table that night and discussed

    He hissed, cut the call, and answered, “It is Samuel. My little brother-in-law.”“Is he mad at me?” Samuel pondered in trepidation.Gen. Hill was thrilled to hear that and teased him, “I almost forgot that you are the father of grown-ups. Why did you cut his call?”“He can be clingy every so often. Especially when he is alone.”“Alone? What about his brother?”“He is volunteering at His Excellency's office.”“That is good to hear. The young man may have a good reason for calling you. Kindly call him back.”Tim did not wish to disrupt their meeting and showed reluctance.“Call him back. I wish to say 'hello' to him,” Gen. Hill insisted.He had no choice but to comply. “If you say, so.”Instantly, he called him back and they waited for him to pick it up. Meanwhile, when he cut the call, Samuel felt bad and concluded that he had disturbed his work. Therefore, he resolved not to call him again. Now, he was afraid to answer him and vacillated.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    “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.

    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,
