He dialed Valentine's number and he picked it up at once."Hello, Major. They promised that it would be ready a week from today," he made clear."It is all right," he said and informed Tim."I would not like to hear another story after that day," he stated."I will let him know that."Afterward, they continued with their meal. In the end, Richard appreciated him, "Thank you for the meal, Boss.""You are welcome," he said and tried to get up.Richard got up and asked him, "Do you wish to call the Major General now? I want to know....""Thank you for reminding me. I will call him now," he interrupted him and sat down.Richard sat down as well and watched him as he scrolled to Maj. Gen. Dale's number. When he found it, he dialed it."At The Complex After lunch, Jerry went to the Production Department and got the available raw materials. It was not easy getting the workers to load them into the bus because they were busy. At last, he left for the house. At Tim's House Richard was delig
He stopped when his phone beeped with a message. Duke Ephraim stopped as well and focused on him. A flirtatious smile glistered his face when he saw that the message was from Ella. His friend wondered what the message could be all about.Instantly, he punched on it and read through it.(My love, I wish to inform you that we have returned to the complex. I'm missing you but I will wait for your call. Your baby, Ella.)At that point, he wished to be alone and relish the moment but could not disrespect his friend. Therefore, he replied at once.(My baby, I'm happy to hear that your trip was safe. I miss you too. I promise to call you sooner than you can imagine. Your love, Oliver.)Afterward, he raised his face and Duke Ephraim lowered his gaze. They continued to eat in silence until the end."You must have a good cook," he complimented him.He smiled broadly and responded, "Thank you for your compliment.""You are welcome. I slept like a baby yesterday when I got home.""Really? Why did
At Richard's House He was not expecting to see his wife at home. So, he walked in and changed his clothes. He was not used to being at home at that hour of the day. Therefore, he lacked what to do."If I can't do anything at least I can rest," he told himself and lay on the bed.To read himself to sleep, he picked up an old magazine that would not interest him and began to read. In a short while, he slept off. He was fast asleep when he got Valentine's message. His wife was not expecting to see him when she got back. He was disturbed by her movement when she got into the house and woke up. To prank her, he got up and hid behind the door.She walked in leisurely and he jumped out to pounce on her."Ouch!" She screamed fearfully.To stop her from collapsing, he grabbed her and made her to rest on his shoulder."It's me," he assured her and rubbed her back."You scared me, Hubby," she panted."I apologize. How is work?" He released her and inquired."Work is fine. I was not expecting yo
At The Mining Field Valentine was resting after work and waiting for Richard's response to his message. At that point, he called Ann and she was happy to hear from him.They spoke and chatted happily. Then, he informed her, "I propose that we should get married at once before your school discovers the truth. What do you think?""Yes. That will be fine. We will have a quiet wedding to avoid having problems with the school."A quiet wedding had been his heart's desire, but he was afraid that she would want to know his reasons. Now that she said it, he would play along."That is my girl. I will fund your account for this. You deserve a treat.""Wow! Thank you, my dear. I can't wait to be your wife.""You are welcome. I can't wait too. I will start the marriage process right away. Okay?""It's okay. Mom and Dad, will I assist you.""Sure. I will inform them.""That's good to hear. What about your parents? Have you informed them? When will I meet them? What did say about our marriage," sh
"The last call was the day he visited the Headquarters and Maj. Horton denied him access to the Head of State," he told himself and continued searching."Where could he be?" He wondered when he found nothing."I will visit the hotel again tomorrow," he concluded and dropped the phone.At Mount Olive While waiting for her, he kept wondering what would make a beautiful girl like her not have a boyfriend and chose to love an old man."She doesn't know me and I can't claim that she loved me because of my money. What could be her reason?"Suddenly, his phone rang. He smiled broadly and picked it up."Hello, my dear," he greeted her."Oh, dear. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long?""Not at all. I would have loved to be of assistance but you refused."She laughed softly and asked him, "Why do you want to do that?""I wish to take care of you just as you have been taking care of me.""Wow! I love that. I know you are so caring.""Really?""Yes.""How do you know?""I just know.""I see
They observed that he left his room the next day and continued to monitor him. He walked out of the building and stood at the vestibule. He observed his environment for a while before he headed to the gate. Since he had no phone and did not book a taxi, he boarded a general one.Tim looked at Richard and he pointed out, "I wished we could get the number plate of the taxi.""You are right. Let's look at it again," Tim agreed with him.They scrolled back and looked at the taxi again. They paused and took the number plate."Thank you, manager, for your assistance," Richard appreciated him afterward."It is my pleasure. I hope the footage was useful to you," he asked with concern."Yes. If we have any need, we will come again.""Always feel free," he assured them and they left."Have the keys, Richard. You will drive us while I search for the driver.""It is all right," he said and collected the keys.They got into the car and he drove off while Tim began to search for the details of the
"But I informed him that the president has ordered one.""Yes. Inform him again that he canceled the order since he will be the trainer.""Oh, my God! He will love it," he pointed out happily."Yes. It will give him some sense of responsibility and he will take care of the machine jealously," Richard responded."You are right. That is the essence," Tim informed them."It is okay, Boss. I will inform him right away.""Yes. When you do, get the details of the seller from him and send them to me," Richard informed him.""I will," he answered and left to join his colleagues.At Mount Olive The old man woke up happily but one of his problems was how to erase the erroneous impression Ella had about him. "Good morning, Old man," Francis and the other workers greeted him simultaneously."Good morning to you all. I hope you slept well?""Yes, Old man. And you?""I'm fine," he answered and faced the janitor."I will take a walk for thirty minutes," he informed him. "I got it, Old man," he a
In The Courtyard The janitor was happy with the albatrosses and sat with the soldier. He was telling him about them and he was excited."I wish to see them," he informed him and got up."They could still be swaying in the backyard," he said and got up, too.At that point, they saw two boys at the gate and halted.The gateman looked at them and announced, "They wished to see the Duke.""Let them in," the soldier said and he complied.They recognized them as the two artisans who accompanied them to the civic center on Monday."Good morning, Officers," they greeted them respectfully."Good morning, Young men. The Duke is busy he will see you shortly.""It is all right," they said."Come and sit down and wait for him," the janitor said and led them to the foyer."Thank you, Officers," they responded and followed him.When he was certain that they were sitting comfortably, he joined the soldier who was waiting for him, and they moved to the backyard. To their satisfaction, they saw a few
At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What! What are you doing here?
He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r
He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor
To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared
"I hope she is all right," he said and was restless.Before Tim walked to the foyer, he remembered Dale's summons to Richard's wife. He looked at his time and mumbled, "I would like to be there."He walked to his room and before he settled down, he heard a knock on the door."Come in, the door is not locked," he said, and George walked in with his stoic face."What is the matter. You scared the farmers away with your look," he made clear to him.He smiled weakly and asked him, "Did I? Miss Dickson attacked her colleague and injured her."Tim furrowed and dismissed him, "I have a meeting with Dale. We will talk about it when I return.""I got it, Boss," he said and returned to his room.Tim lay on the bed, breathed heavily, and asked himself, "What is wrong with this girl? Sacking her would not favor me otherwise, I would have done that."He thought for a while and resolved, "I know what to do?"Likewise, he rested for a while and got up. At that time, he heard Richard's car and tried
To Valentine, Tim may sound boastful but Ambrose knew better. "What do you think, Ambrose? Do we employ another person for that?" Richard asked him."No, Major. I can handle it."He faced Tim, smiled, and undertook, "I got it, Boss. We won't let the Third in Command down.""If you say so.""That is good to hear. Let's see the farmers," Richard said and moved.They followed him at once and walked to the farm. Since the incident of Monday, the farmers had not seen Tim and Richard. They stopped work when they saw them and greeted them accordingly."Good afternoon to you all," they responded simultaneously.Tim stepped aside and Richard addressed them, "Thank you all for your patience."Meanwhile, George, the General Manager, and the team arrived and parked beside the clunker. They got out of the car immediately and George tried to walk to the estate."They are at the farm, Major," one of the security guards informed him after the salutations."Thank you for informing me," he said and mo
At The Complex At lunch, Laura was not back, and Barbara took the initiative. She informed the Corporal of her intentions to be away for lunch and left. She returned at once with her packed food and ate in the cubicle. George and Bright met the General Manager in the elevator and informed him of the arrival of the machines."That is good to hear. I would love to see them. Or what do you think?""I planned to visit there after lunch. We can go together then," he declared.Now, the elevator door opened and they walked out."That is better," the General Manager said and they walked on.Soon, they were at the canteen. They had the meal happily and avoided discussing their proposed visit to the mining field. Their reasons were simple - to avoid luring the other managers from volunteering to come with them. Afterward, they returned to their offices and hoped to leave at 2 PM.Nevertheless, the exhausted Laura returned a few minutes before 2 PM. As for lunch, she was aware that she had miss
At Mount Olive "Kindly get your attorney, Young lady," the officer advised Laura."I was wrong, Officer. I shouldn't have missed my way," she declared, concealing her motive for visiting the palace.The officer pouted, gave her the statement paper, and said, "Write all you could remember about the incident here."Now, she was conscious of her office and afraid that she might be too late to work. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 9 AM.'Barbara would be happy to see me punished if I am late to work,' she lamented and began to write her statement quickly."I'm through, Officer," she showed her the statement and announced.She collected it, looked through it, and informed her, "The DPO is in a meeting. I will submit it to him after that."Instantly, she began to fidget and asked her, "Huh! When will that be? I should be in my office."She paid no heed to her question and simply said, "Kindly wait at the reception.""Hey! I'm in trouble," she exclaimed, got up and w
She saw herself walking into the palace and was covered with sweat immediately. The officer was calm and watching the television as well. She switched her look from the television to the officer. When she got to the point, she said, 'I'm in the wrong place,' she looked down and pursed her lips to suppress her nervousness.'Ella must have done this. The Duke does not know my house and could not have gotten my address,' she thought.The officer picked up her form and looked at it. Without any signs of anger, she said, "Your workplace on the form is different from what you said in the footage."'Why can't I get it right? Why can't I get what I want?' she asked herself in low spirits."Did you get my question?" The officer asked her when she failed to answer her."I apologize, officer. We can talk it over," she pleaded, hoping to bribe her.At Tim's House "Just calm down. Everything will be sorted out shortly," Tim advised Richard and they began to wait."Do you mind breakfast?"
