Now, the youths were scared and looked at the shrewd elder for his response.Meanwhile, the compensation seekers were hanging around and patiently waiting for their reward without paying attention to them."Let us do as he said, Sir" one of the youths pleaded with George.Now, Elder Kefas was on top of the world after the youths accepted his proposal over George's and he resolved to flaunt it.He inched closer to him and boasted rudely, "They know who to obey."In a flash, George released his bottled-up anger on him, "(Slap. Slap) How dare you come close to me?" He asked him indignantly."Huh!" Tim exclaimed and looked at the elder.The others were not left out. The Duke was surprised and began to walk towards them. To prove that he was still the local champion, he tried to attack George with vengeance and vehemence but he got more than he bargained for. Richard blocked him and cleared his two legs off the ground and he landed on the floor."What does he want to do?" George asked cal
Previously, he was skeptical about the admittance of the act but when he perceived that they were harmless, he accepted, “Yes, Sir.”To amuse himself, he asked further, “I thought you exonerated yourself from the act previously.”“You are right but I just recalled that in addition to praying for him to die, I teamed up with Cecilia and planted a poisonous mushroom in his house. As you can see, I worked harder than everyone,” he admitted joyously.Nevertheless, his assertion did not augur well with the others and they murmured. Although they did not speak out, Tim could read their facial expressions. He looked at Elder Kefas' wife and inquired, “Is your name on this list?”“Yes, Sir. My husband informed me about it.”“I see. Why was your name on the list?”“I don't know, Sir,” she answered innocently.Now, George was emotional. He thought of how his father agonized in pain for several years with no medical help and walked back to the car. Tim watched him for a while before he faced th
At Tim's House The outing was a joyous one for the family but Tim wished to know why George was disrespectful and invited him to his study.“What happened in the morning, George? I told you that I don't want the boys to come with us but you were bent on having your way,” he asked him angrily.Tim regretted his actions when he saw his wet eyes because his confidence may be harmed. He locked eyes with him for a while and looked away without a word. They were silent for some minutes before he spoke.“I grew up without siblings and it was difficult for me. They are the only siblings I have and I can't see them sad.”Tim was calm but digested his words. Afterward, he declared, “We both suffered the same thing as children, but we should not over-pamper them because of our pasts.”Instead of answering, he looked askance at him, and he continued, “If not, they may never be independent, and that is not good for any of us.”“I got it, Boss. I will be careful next time,” he promised him.“That
Her looks explained why she greeted them wrongly and they did not respond. Likewise, Barr. Gibson went straight to the point. He brought out the subpoena from his folder and stretched it to her. “Kindly go through this, Miss Dickson and acknowledge the receipt by signing here,” he said and pointed at the spot where she would sign.“What is it again, Barrister,” she asked in despair and began to read while they focused on her.If Tim was not dead, she would have concluded that he got the news after Dr. Robinson released the video. Since he was dead, he concluded that the barrister must have done that. All the same, She dried her tears, which made the write-ups blurry, and continued reading.“Oh, my God,” she staggered backward and screamed when she saw her offense.The barrister supported her from the back and stopped her from slumping. When she was stable, she continued.Afterward, she faced the barrister and said, “Point of correction, Barrister, I did not abort any twins.”“Just si
He collected the pack happily and appreciated her, “Wow! Thank you so much for this, Mrs. Gilchrist.”“Think nothing about it. I hope to have you by the next holiday,” she answered happily.“I hope so as well.”The Head of State's Chief security officer and other staff members were not left out. They gave him suitable gifts for a student and he was delighted. He appreciated them one after the other. Later, Tim came to pick him up. Since it was his last day, he decided to see the Head of State.After the salutation, he offered him a seat, and Tim appreciated him, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for absorbing my brother. He had learned a lot.”“You don't need to bother. He is a good boy.”“Thank you for the compliment. We shall be on our way.”“Wait a minute. What will he like as a gift?” The head of state asked and he waited.“I don't think you have to bother yourself. Let him learn how to serve out free will.”“You are right but my office will take care of his term school fees. I think t
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
