At that point, the news of the collapsed building had spread among the citizens, and many people were coming to the center to see things for themselves. Those with a clear conscience greeted the old man happily and he responded in the same way. Nevertheless, the guilty elders hid their faces and avoided him. He pretended not to see them and moved on.

He looked at Ella's shoes and smiled softly. Then, he faced her and said, "I know your shoes will hurt."

Ella was more concerned about his identity than the shoes. She smiled bitterly and answered, "I'm fine."

"It's okay," he said and they walked on.

Shortly, they were at home. He looked at the two young artisan slash contractors and appreciated them, "Thank you for informing me, Young men. Wait for me. I will be with you shortly."

    "If you say so. Otherwise, we can have it here.""Here is okay, if it is convenient." He agreed with her and they walked to the kitchen and brought her basket.

Let's see how it goes." Nevertheless, George replied to Francis' message. (Thank you for informing me, Francis. He will inform you very soon that he wishes to marry her. Wish them a happy married life. Thank you.)At Mount Olive When Ella inquired about dinner, he was bewildered and lost of the right answer. Although he had wished to be with her it was too sudden.

    Ambrose had no skeleton in his cupboard but declared, "Their prices are reasonable compared to the other companies.""I got it. That does not make them the best. Their prices could be cheap because they planned to supply low-quality products."His explanation opened his eyes and he agreed with him, "You are right, Supervisor. I was trying to save some money for the company.""I understand, but it will cost us more if we import it, and it parks up after a few weeks.""I got it.""Which company did you patronize in the past?""I have not bought any by myself but my trainers have.""Good. Get more companies. At least, three. Submit their prices, brand, and contacts. Let the president choose the company that suits him. With that, you will be free from blame in the future."Life is hard, and everyone is fighting a battle others know nothing about.

Could he be the Third in Command and the President as Dad said?" She mulled over.The thought that George could be her president weakened her and stole her appetite."How will I get a husband to marry?
