“Point of correction, I am Miss Dickson,” she explained arrogantly.“I see,” he swallowed hard and responded.“Meanwhile, why are you pretending to care about me after releasing the video of my abortion to the public? That shows how unprofessional you are. Are you aware that I can sue you for that?”“It is not what you think. We can talk about it.”“You can keep that to yourself because that is not why I am here. I want the report of the abortion. Period.”“Ha! What do you need it for? I think you should apologize to your husband and come back together.”“I said it. You are unprofessional and too old to articulate the happenings around you. How can a dead man come back with his ex-wife?”To avoid complicating things more, he dropped the discussion and acquiesced to her opinion, “I got it. Kindly wait for your report at the reception. It will be ready in a couple of minutes.”She pushed her lips up and walked out angrily.“Ha! Tim must have lived in bondage while living with her,” he c
A few kilometers away from the hospital, the ambulance screeched and stopped suddenly and the impact almost threw Ambrose off the bed. Tim was affected, too, too, but he was more interested in saving the patient. “Oh!” He screamed and supported him with his two hands.He tried to ensure that he did not fall by pushing him slightly back to the bed. In his haste, many things happened at the same time. His cross bag had hit him severally but he was not bothered.Meanwhile, Ambrose was startled and tried to support himself. He grabbed his bag and Tim was scared. He observed him and noticed that his eyes were open.“Driver, be patient with me and I will pay everything I owe you before the week runs out,” he rambled.“Who are you talking to, Ambrose?” Tim asked him and he was shocked to hear his voice.He looked intently at Tim, but instead of looking back, he knocked on the window to alert the driver, who was trying to restart the vehicle.As an Emergency Medical Technician, he had heard
Meanwhile, Ambrose had sat up and was waiting for the medical gadgets to be removed. The driver looked into his wet eyes and wondered why he was not happy. Instantly, he pulled out the gadgets and adjusted his hospital clothes.“Kindly send for the stretcher,” Dr. Robinson requested and Dr. Edward obeyed.“Ask the mortician to get ready, please,” he faced Dr. Raphael and pleaded.Ambrose got out of the ambulance and Tim led the way. To say that the doctors and Michael were befuddled was an understatement. The driver tried to support him since Tim and Richard were unwilling to do so but he declined.“Don't bother yourself, Sir. I will be fine,” he said and walked on.At that moment, the doctors were back to the verandah, and they saw them.“What happened?” They asked in astonishment.Michael, who bent his head and was weeping, looked up and saw them. He was scared and ran into the reception and stopped when the doctors did not run.The open-mouthed Dr. Robinson looked at the driver and
“Gerald, I am not proud …”“Eat your food,” he yelled at him and concentrated on the television.He broke down instantly and pleaded, “Kindly, hear me out, please. I know I goofed.”“Eat your food first, Ambrose. We will talk about it later,” Richard pacified him.He dried his tears with the back of his hand and sniffed, “Okay.”Michael was crestfallen but he assisted him to open the dishes before he began to eat his own. He was eating silently while Tim ogled at him to ensure that he was eating. Despite the heaviness of his heart, he ate the much that could sustain him.“I'm through,” he said and pushed his plate aside.“Thank you for the meal,” he looked at the two and appreciated them.“You are welcome,” Richard responded while Tim mumbled his response.Michael rounded up his meal immediately and appreciated them as well.“We can leave whenever you are ready,” Tim announced and got up.They got up, too, and Tim said, “Let me inform the doctor,” he said and walked out.They followed
At The Auxiliary Armory PLCTim pulled off his mask before he got to the General Manager's office and opened the door expectantly but he was not prepared for what he saw. His eyes went straight to the secretary's desk and he was disappointed to see it empty.His disappointment was visible to all but the clerk could not say the reason.“Good day, Sir,” the. The clerk greeted him.He breathed in and out to relax his utter and still despondency before he answered, “Good day, Clerk. How is the work going?”“Work is going well, Sir. Kindly take your seat,” he answered and directed him to a seat.He fixed his eyes on him as though he could get the answer to his question from his face before he sat down and appreciated him, “Thank you, for the offer, Clerk.”“You are welcome, Sir. The secretary is with the GM. You will see him when she comes out,” he informed him.As simple as the information was, it soothed his troubled spirit.“I got it. Thank you for informing me,” he answered not knowing
At Mount OliveThe bigamy suit had begun, and all odds seemed against Cecilia and the fake Duke because Tim only presented the picture of the demolished house and alleged that she dumped her husband in the hospital and married the fake Duke. The suit came up a few days after the duke was released at the police station, and he was distraught.Everyone, including Cecilia, was not aware of how the corpse of the original Duke left the palace, but they could not state that as their defense. Rather, she admitted that she dumped him in the hospital but denied marrying the fake Duke.“Why can't anything good come out of Cecilia?” He asked himself in utter hopelessness and began to beat her. Incidentally, her witchcraft was unable to save her.The day they appeared in the court, the two were better described as dead. They were so Ill, and as planned, the old man did not appear because he was critically ill but his lawyer did a good job.Presently, the fake Duke's hope was the new palace. He co
Interestingly, the pressmen who were waiting outside the court were surprised about the story, which was already online, because they did not get such details. It rendered their waiting useless.“The blogger must be in the court with a hidden camera,” one of them said.“That is serious. How did he pass the door with the camera without being dictated?”“I wish I knew.”At Tim's House“Yippie!” He raised his two hands and exclaimed. His domestic staff members were used to such excitement since he started seeing Stephanie and were not surprised. Before the court arose, he uploaded the proceedings on the internet. “Foolish girl,” he cursed her and began to wait for lunch.While waiting, he called Justice Vancouver to appreciate him but he was not available. He hardly cut the call when Barr. Gibson called to inform him of the latest. He picked up the call and greeted him, “Hello, Barrister. Are you out of the court?”“Yes, Tim. We won the case,” he informed him ecstatically.“Wow! How d
“This silly girl will never stop to anger me,” he answered while they walked out of the lobby.“Which girl?” He asked at once.Jerry was too angry to speak and Collins helped out, “It is Miss Dickson. She attacked her colleague.”George stopped suddenly and asked, “Did she come to work today? I thought she went to court.”“Maybe she returned from the court with anger and decided to vent it on her colleague,” Jerry stated.“She must be punished,” George said and inched backward.“No need to go back. I have taken care of that,” Jerry declared.George mellowed and asked him, “What did you do to her?”“I asked the Corporal to send her to the guardroom.”“That is good. Inform the Corporal that she will be there until 8 PM.”Jerry grinned and accepted it, “It is all right.”In The Staff BusWith the embarrassing post about Laura, many wished to see her at the canteen but failed. Bright looked out for her, too, but missed her. He hoped to see her at the lobby but George visited the Steel Mil
At Laura's House They expected a better life after appeasing the twins, but the opposite was the case. Due to the silent war, they did not watch the program because they felt that it would not interest them. Laura had been in her room since morning and only came out to prepare a quick meal for herself. Afterward, she returned to her room and kept herself busy with her phone before she slept off.Nevertheless, Madeline was worried when her husband did not return. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 7 PM.“Where has gone to?” She murmured bitterly and continued to wait.After a while, she got up from her seat, walked to the bedroom, and returned to the parlor. She could not have her dinner and unknown to her, she slept off on the couch.Laura woke up from her sleep and ate the remainder of her lunch. She overlooked her mother and returned to her room. Shortly afterward, she took her bath and went to sleep.However, Madeline woke up a few minutes after midnight and wa
The other women joined them but those who could not, never bothered despite the prize. The groups danced and it was fun.“Thank you for this,” the host appreciated them, but there was an observation.A middle-aged man was sitting with the widows, and it was strange. The organizers thought it was an error and one of them walked up to him to correct it.“Hello, Old man. You should sit with the widowers and not here,” the official informed him.“Thank you for informing me, but I am not a widower,” he clarified.The organizer furrowed his brow and inquired further, “If you are not a widower, what are you? A widow?”Now, one of the security men thought that he was proving stubborn, joined them and waited for his answer.He smiled mildly and answered, “No, I am not a widow. I'm representing my daughter. Her husband died during the war.”The two were touched and the security man sympathized with him, “We are so sorry for the loss. Why is she not here?”“She had been sick since then and had b
“They will like it if you can assist with the transfer. The university has a campus in Birmingham,” he pleaded as though it was on their behalf and not for his benefit.“Is it possible?” Richard asked him.“Yes, Major. If the President talks to them, they would reconsider her.”“It is all right. Remind me on Monday,” Richard said and shut the door.“Thank you, Major. I …”He stopped when he saw the farmers coming to them with their produce.“We brought the squirrels, Supervisor,” one of them announced and looked at the Major's face.He was happy to know that he liked it. Valentine helped them to arrange them in the trunk. The good thing about their produce is that it is free from fertilizer because they could not afford it.“Thank you,” Valentine appreciated them and shut the trunk.“You are welcome, Supervisor. Thank you for informing him about our predicament.”“It is my pleasure.”“Thank you for the gifts,” Tim and Richard appreciated them at once.“Thank you for accepting them. W
In The Morning Tim, George, and the boys were preparing to go for their shooting training when he got a disturbing call from Richard.“Where are you?” He asked him at once.“I am at the gate, Boss,” he answered him.“I will be with you, shortly,” he said and walked out of his room.He got to George's room and informed him that he wished to visit the mining field. He frowned his face and asked, “On a Saturday? You need your rest.”“I know. Take the boys to the shooting range. I may meet you there,” he instructed him and moved quickly to avoid more questions.“It is all right,” he answered and continued dressing up.Tim got to the garage and drove to the gate. Richard joined him and he moved.“Kindly read the message to my hearing,” he requested and Richard did.After listening to him, he asked him, “When did this happen?”“I don't know.”“Have you not spoken with him?”“No, Boss. I woke up and saw the message and decided to come over at once.”“That is good. I wonder who would have
That evening, they closed from work for the day and resolved to visit the estate and show their appreciation for their cooperation.Likewise, they brought some farm produce to them. To cap it all, the hunters among them brought five sizeable edible gray squirrels.“These are from our hearts. Kindly accept them,” one of them said cheerfully.The workers focused on Valentine who was thrilled with the gesture. The foreigners were thrilled with the neighborliness and waited for him to speak.“This is wonderful. We are happy to know that you found us worthy of your friendship. We appreciate it,” he said.“Thank you for accepting us.”“I hope no one is molesting?” Valentine asked.“No, Supervisor. We appreciate you for your presence.”“You are welcome,” Valentine said and they walked away.He turned and looked at Pa Suresh, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “What do we do with the gray squirrels? I have not eaten it for a long time?”Before he could speak, Tyler and his friends walked
“Thank you, Mark,” they responded one after the other.“Kindly take us to the pavilion,” George requested.“It is all right, President,” he answered and led the way. They moved with him and George was surprised to see Tim walking with the General Manager.'When did he arrive?' He asked himself.Some days are heavy but Tim had to grin and bear it. They checked the pavilion and took notes of the minor work they needed to do before Sunday. George did not have the chance to speak with Tim. However, he was confused when he got on the bus with them.When he looked around and did not see his clunker, he asked himself, 'Did he come with us?'Tim was obediently sitting beside the GM like a wimp and he had forgotten about him. They returned to the complex afterward and got out of the bus. To avoid missing out completely that day, he decided to take the plunge.He followed the General Manager back to his office. When they got to the door, he asked him, “What brings you, Driver?”Now, he had ope
At The Complex.A slave may also have slaves. Tim wished to see Stephanie and would not want to explain his purpose of visiting her to the General Manager. Instantly, he came up with a reason for him to leave the complex and called George.He picked up the call immediately and greeted him, “Hello, Boss. How may I assist you?”“Hello, George. Kindly get your managers to find out if the borough is ready for His Excellency to use it on Sunday.”“Huh! Sunday?”“Yes. It is urgent. We just got off an emergency meeting.”“It is all right, Boss. We will be there right away.”“Thank you for that,” he appreciated him and cut the call.George informed the General Manager of the development and he was on his toes. However, he was happy to hear that. He recalled the line of wisdom that said, to whom much is given, much will be required and attributed it to the recent promotion.He informed the other managers and they converged in the vestibule.Shortly, Tim drove in and arrived at George's office
At Tim's House They met the old man waiting for them in the parlor and felt bad.“We apologize for keeping you waiting, Old man,” Tim apologized when they walked in.He smiled and accepted, “Never mind, Young man. How was your outing?” He looked at the two boys and inquired.“It was fine, Old man,” they answered immediately.“Welcome back,” Francis who began to set the table when they returned, greeted them.“Thank you, Francis,” they responded immediately.Afterward, they settled down to eat. “Was she surprised to see the gifts?” The old man asked curiously.“Yes, Old man. She almost fainted,” Samuel answered.“I recorded everything," Gerald said and the old man requested to see it.He turned on his device and passed it to him. He began to watch the video and Tim studied his countenance.“Oh! She appreciated it,” he said when she hugged Samuel.“Yes, Old man. She is a nice person,” Samuel pointed out.“You are right. It is obvious.”Tim was happy to hear that and asked further, “Is
At The Lobby After Laura's father upset her the previous day, she had not fed well. She was hoping to do that at the canteen during lunch. Now, Barbara wished to impede that.“I can't wait for her anymore. It is my right to go for lunch and I won't miss it because she chose to be away from work for no good reasons,” she concluded. Although troublesome, she was justified in being upset. When she saw some workers returning from lunch with their bottles of sweet drinks and neatly packaged cake, her desire to be at the canteen increased.“She can explain her truancy to Capt. Jaja,” she said picked up her phone and walked out of the cubicle.She was walking briskly and bypassed George who was walking back leisurely with Jerry and his colleagues. He smiled inwardly and said, “You came too late.”Nevertheless, she got to the junior staff canteen and ordered her food before she sat down. While she was waiting, she saw the gigantic cake in the senior staff canteen and wished to have a taste
