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
At The Front DeskLaura was greatly pleased when she got Barr. Wentworth's email and imagined what to do with two million pounds sterling.“They thought that they are smart,” she told herself and continued with her work.It was not long, Ella walked into the lobby. Due to the cold shoulders Laura gave to her previously, she retaliated by treating her with disdain as well. She walked past her and headed to the elevator. Meanwhile, Laura concluded that she was going to see Bright. She was not bothered about her greetings but concentrated on her work. Soon the elevator gates opened and she walked in.At The Legal UnitAfter Barr. Fitzgerald returned, he sent for Ella through her Supervisor. He was waiting for her when she walked in and greeted him happily.“Good morning, Barrister.”“Good morning, Miss Patrick. Kindly sit.”“Thank you for the offer,” she said and sat down.“Take a look at this email,” he said and pushed the printed copy of the email to her.She grimaced and collected the
At The Guardroom Cpl. Simpson returned to the guardroom and asked the money bag questions and he was mute. He would not like to implicate his colleagues by involving them or revealing his address.“I intend to remove it by myself,” he explained.“Where will you take it to?” He asked angrily.“I know where to take it,” he answered.The Corporal glared at him and asked, “What do you take us for?”To avoid more trouble, he kept quiet.“Get ready for your work,” he thundered.The money bag breathed freely and watched the Corporal walk away angrily.“I should have allowed them to park their car anywhere they liked,” he thought regretfully.“I have been shut out of the world,” he lamented.Nevertheless, the Corporal returned to the President's office to inform him of the development. George listened to him carefully and gave him an option.“He didn't want us to know his gang members, as though he can stop us if we are interested in them.”“You are right, General.”“If he thinks that we are
