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
Samuel quickly walked into his arms and hugged him tightly. Tim hugged him as well and after some seconds, he released him and looked into his wet face.He cleaned his tears with his hand and said, “You are a strong boy. I know you will make us proud.”Samuel snorted, “I will,” and acquiesced.Although Gerald was not whimpering he could not hide his feelings. He looked at the two and tried to be a big boy. Instantly, he called out, “Samuel, stop crying, or your mates will make fun of you.”His advice worked like magic, and he braced up.“Have a nice day, Brother-in-law,” he said and dried his tears.Tim gave him a reassuring smile and tapped his back, “I wish you the same,” he responded.They dragged their bags and moved while he watched them with nostalgia until they disappeared. Unknown to them, their drama would make an attention-grabbing headline for a few days. Apart from Erick's father, the other parents were thrilled to see such fondness between a supposed driver and his master
With Jerry's approval, Barbara did not bother to question his movement. Likewise, Laura was occupied with the thought of how to defend herself in court since no lawyer agreed to stand for her. Therefore, she did not notice him. Even if she did, she would not have recognized him.At The GatehouseCpl. Simpson was aware that George and the other managers would be having their weekly meeting and dared not disturb him. Apart from the meeting, the Captain's request was absurd and unworthy of his attention.“Kindly take your seat, Captain,” he informed him.Without a response, he sat on the three-seater stainless chair and crossed his legs. Now, the time was a few minutes to 10 AM. To fulfill all righteousness, he dialed the General Manager's landline.“Hello, Corporal. How may I help you?” The clerk asked him.“Hello, Clerk. I wish to speak with the boss,” he said to the hearing of the Captain.“He is out for his weekly meeting.”“I see. Thank you for informing me,” he said and cut the cal
He understood the look and got up. Shortly, he returned with a cup of tea and Tim appreciated them. He began to sip the tea and was attracted to the television. The news of the resumption of the schools in Canterbury, especially the Defense Academy, was going on, and he was attracted to it. To his delight, he saw the queue at the gate but only the luxury cars were displayed, so he was not bothered about any form of publicity. He laughed silently and lifted his cup of tea. He was sipping it when he saw the clip of the affectionate moment with him and the boys and he was awestruck. Likewise, he used the tea cup to cover his surprise and pretended not to be interested in the news. “Who recorded this?” He asked himself. Nevertheless, he looked at Stephanie and noticed she was not watching the news. He put his teacup down and focused on the news. He saw the other schools and laughed at a family whose child ran back to the car to avoid going to school. “What if their parents see us?” He
Tim walked briskly to catch up with the GM who was close to the door. "He did not respect him like a Major," he said to himself. They walked to the gate and met the Captain waiting for them. Now, there was a mix-up. He never envisaged the accident. His primary reason for following Tim was to know his boss and butter him up so that his son would be favored by the Head of State. To him, the General Manager was his supposed boss but could not be the father of the two boys."Good day, Captain," he got up and greeted him without a hand salute since they were of the same rank.At that point, he had scanned him and made his reservations. "Good day, Captain. Did you say that my driver damaged your car?" He asked him.At that point, all eyes were on him and they waited silently for his answer. He looked at Tim's face and looked away immediately when he saw that he was staring daggers at him."Did you get my question, Captain?" Capt Bolton asked when he noticed that he was speechless.The Ca
The guard was unaware of what transpired at the inner gate and suggested, “I propose that you go back to the gate and request to speak with the President.”“Or the General Manager,” another guard chipped in.The smile on his face disappeared immediately. Seeing the President was out of his ideas especially when the Major had said that he could be an accomplice of Gen. Hanklin. Besides, he just left the General Manager.He concluded that the young soldiers wished to harsh his mellow and forwent his car.“Have a nice day,” he simply said and walked away.The first guard pouted while their leader giggled as they watched him walk away in despondency.“What did he come to the complex to do in the first place?” A soldier asked his colleagues.“Who knows?”On the Road“I suggest that we visit Ambrose, Boss. It is unclear to me why his recovery is slow,” Richard proposed.“It is all right. How was he the last time you visited him?”“There was no remarkable improvement. He was just there.”“I
