“Oh my God! You proposed that I should shift my birthday from Saturday to Monday. Now you have forgotten.”“Oh, my goodness! Pardon my forgetfulness, Your Majesty. Happy birthday in advance.”“Thank you for your wishes. But promise me that you will be around on Monday.”“A slave has no time of his own and cannot make promises with it. I will be around if my boss permits me.”“Oh! I remember.”“Goodbye for now.”“Bye,” they said simultaneously.He walked into the elevator and sent a message to George.(We can continue the speech writing at home. I'm starving).The message confused George because he could not say why he just arrived and started complaining of hunger. All the same, he replied, (I got it.)At Smirnoff's Office Everything was going smoothly and the preparations for the celebration were on top gear. Although he was not shortlisted for promotion he had his pound of flesh. Throwing the Head of State and the nation into turbulence made his day.“At least he was restless for s
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
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,
“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 President's Office.After instructing Bright, he became busy with work but had his eyes on the CCTV. When a lady walked into the Secretary's office, he saw a mature lady with a good spirit and positive outlook“Is she the one?” He asked himself and began to monitor her.“Good morning, Bright. I'm Ella Patrick.”“I know. Good morning. Your services at the Senior Staff member's house is over. You are hereby recalled to the canteen.”“It's all right. When do I return?” She responded as though she had been expecting it.“Now,” Bright said and watched her countenance.“I got it. Have you informed the Canteen Supervisor? He wasn't expecting me back.”“It is possible. Let's see him,” Bright accepted and got up.He looked at Gilbert and informed him, “Let the President know that I have gone to the canteen.”“I will do that, Mr. Desmond,” he responded and they watched them walked out.George smiled happily and mumbled, “She is fine. I pray that Dad loves her.”At The LobbyLaura was still
At The President's OfficeGeorge called his father back after he sat down, and they talked about many meaningless things and laughed as well. George was carried away by the conversation that he did not remember his lunch until he got a call from the General Manager.“Okay, Dad. I have to go back to work,” he informed him.“It is all right. Be a good boy,” he remarked.“Boy?” George asked and laughed out loud.The old man laughed too. He was yet to wake up to reality and catch up with the present. To him, George was that small boy who he enrolled in the Canterbury Defense Academy some years ago. “Oh! Pardon me. Be a good soldier,” he apologized and corrected himself.“Better. Enjoy the rest of your day, Dad,” George said and cut the call.He got up immediately and called Capt. Bolton back while walking to the door. He opened it and noticed that Bright was still seated. Likewise, he got up and followed him.“Hello, Sgt. Young. You are not in the canteen yet,” Capt. Bolton greeted him w
At Laura's HouseThe janitor was cooking for the first time by trial and error which led him nowhere until Laura returned from work. She had resolved to embellish furnace on Ella and send her away for being a friend of her enemy.Without recognizing the guards at the gate, she worked into the house and yelled, “Come here, Ella. What were you …”“Welcome back, Boss. Ella isn't back from the complex,” the janitor interrupted her and declared.“What! She left the complex long ago,” she stated and the janitor was speechless.Nevertheless, all hell broke loose when she got to her parents' apartment and met her father in critical condition.“What is the matter with him, Mom?” She asked anxiously and examine the medications on the table.“Welcome back. He had a fever.”“Fever? Why didn't you inform me?”“I did not wish to bother you. But I asked Ella to get some medications for him from the mall,” she said and showed her the drugs.“Did she bring this from the mall or complex?” She asked in
At The CanteenSgt. Courtney, Ella and his team were busy with planning the day's work when she walked into his office with an obvious face.“Good morning, Sgt. Courtney,” she greeted him and ignored the rest.Ella looked up when she heard her voice and greeted her cheerfully, “Good morning, Boss.”She ignored her before she glared at her and cursed in her mind, “Pervert.”“Excuse us. I will call you back shortly,” Sgt. Courtney informed his staff members and they got up.Ella was surprised at Laura's coldness towards her gave her a searching look. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away with the rest.“Good morning, Miss Dickson. How may I help you?”She rudely sat down without being offered and looked into Sgt. Courtney's eyes.“You can help me by explaining to me why you withdrew my chef without notifying me. Is that how things are done?”Her question boxed the Sergeant into a corner because she was in the wrong place. Above all, he did not wish to say more than he knew about El
