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. He fixed his eyes on the phone until it time
Samuel was the first to arrive at the dinner table in readiness to share his new idea. Shortly after that, the old man joined him and admired his happy face.“I hope you rested very well?” Samuel asked him joyously.“I'm fine. How is the planning going?”“Splendid. I have a new idea.”“Wow! That is great. I can't wait to hear it.”Soon, Tim and the rest joined them and they began to wait for the chef.“So, what is your new idea, Samuel?” Tim asked.George and Gerald were surprised to hear that and focused on him. As usual, he was shy.“Let's hear it,” George persuaded him.He happily shared his idea with them and they were thrilled.“You must have been thinking deeply to come up with this idea,” Gerald complimented him.“You are right, Big Brother. I don't want them to miss out at all.”“That is a good one. Meanwhile, the Head of State and the Second in Command will be part of your birthday,” Tim informed him and he was flabbergasted to hear that.“Ha! How did they know about it?” He
