"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. He helped her to display the fruits and he began to eat."The fruits are different," he said and looked into her eyes."Yes," she smiled and answered."Why?""It is a symbol of my love for you," she made clear.He shook his head and said, "I will never let you down," and continued to eat. "I will always love you," she assured him.Soon, he was through with the fruits and looked at her. Instead of hurrying to leave, she took the plate to the kitchen and returned afterward. She sat down and continued to watch the television while waiting for the time for the soup.The old man was confused and would rather not ask questions. Before 3 PM, she dozed off. He looked at her posture and suspected that her neck might hurt; he walked to the room, got two pillows, and supported her neck. Not only that, he made her to lie properly. When
At Tim's House After lunch with Richard, they left for the Second in Command's office. After updating him on his findings, he advised him to liaise with the medical center and transfer Vincent to the State House Hospital.The option was the best. He got to the hospital and was told that Dr. Morgan was not on call. He promised to check him back.Nevertheless, they drove to the mall and got bottles of chickpeas. After that, they returned to the house and Richard closed for the day."My regards to your wife," he said and waved at him."I will let her know. Good night," Richard said and drove off.The janitor walked up to him and saluted him. Afterward, he collected the bottles of chickpeas and returned to the kitchen.Tim was exhausted but he had some materials in the basement. He returned to the room, changed into his work clothes, and left for the basement."If I can work until 4 PM, I will be fine. George will do the rest when he returns," he said to himself and began.Before 4 PM,
He browsed through the video and was happy that no one was injured."Let us wait for his call at dinner," George stated.Tim laughed and pointed out, "He may not since he is with Ella.""Oh! 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. He was aware that she had sacrificed a lot to be with him and sending her back may leave an indelible mark on her. To be able to free her from trouble at work and ensure that he did not offend Tim and George, he hurriedly composed a message and sent it to Tim. While he was waiting for his response, he engaged her in an interesting conversation."What do you know about Albatrosses?"She was excited and inquired, "Albatrosses? I love t
At Tim's House It was a dream come true for Tim and George. They could not ask for anything more. After the call, they ate happily. In celebration, Tim asked the chef to get a bottle of chickpeas, and he did."Wow! When did you buy this?" George asked him."Today. After I left the Second in Command's office," he explained."I see," he said and began to eat.They were eating and watching the television and George was happy. Nevertheless, Tim connected to Stephanie's house and was not surprised to see her watching the television and eating her chickpeas. When they were tired, they went to sleep.At Mount Olive "I want to thank you for initiating this. It shows how much I mean to you," he appreciated her."You are welcome. I had to do it or I may be sick again," she explained.He was aware that she was honest and touched her nose. "What has my silence got to do with your illness?""I was careless. I thought the numerous night calls would last forever. When it stopped suddenly, I was h
At the Mining Field Ambrose had never experienced such honor in life. He could not believe that the President could cancel an order just because of him. Not only that, he trusted him so much and made him the trainer. Therefore, he was out to give his best. Between Wednesday and Thursday evening, he sourced the suppliers of the refining machine and submitted the report to the supervisor.He was surprised to see Tim and Richard so early but was ready for them. Before Richard parked his car, he had walked up to them."Good morning, Major. Good morning, Boss," he greeted them happily."Good morning, Supervisor," they answered him one after the other."What of Ambrose? Does he have any report for us?" Richard asked him while Tim looked on."Yes, Major. I can share his report with you.""Please do," he said."When did he submit the report to you? Why didn't you share it with him before now?" Tim asked angrily.Valentine was surprised. He looked at Richard before he faced Tim and explained,
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. They were not aware that they were fighting the same battle - to reinvent themselves and be good citizens.Ambrose was happy with his concern o
He laughed softly and asked her again, "Why do you need to put them on before going to pee?"She was shy and informed him, "You will see my nudity.""Oh! Have I not seen it before?" He looked into her eyes and asked her.She grinned shyly and said, "Don't look at me when I am walking to the bathroom.""I won't," he promised her and looked away.She got out the bed and looked at him to ensure that he was not looking at her."You are looking at me," she said when their eyes met.He smiled and looked away. She took a step and looked back and he was still looking at her. To be defensive, he requested, "Stop looking at me too."She laughed and walked into the bathroom. He laughed, too, and began to wait for her. To his dismay, she joined him after a few minutes and cuddled up to him."Aren't you going to work? He asked her worriedly."No, my dear," she said and tried to cover themselves with the duvet.He was astounded. No matter what, he would not encourage nonchalance. He knew her as a h
At The Complex George was busy in his office when he got Tim's message. He paused and punched on it and his face beamed with happiness."This is good," he said and sent for the General Manager.He walked out of his office and was surprised that Tim had not come."Has the driver come?' he asked them."Not yet, Major," she answered him."It is all right. I'm going to the president's office."He got to George's office and saw him very happy."What is the matter?" He asked him after the salutes."The Heroes Borough is almost complete," he informed him and pushed his phone to him.He watched the video and pictures and was delighted."This is beautiful. I must confess that I have not been there before," he explained."That is bad. We can go there after lunch," he proposed."I don't mind. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed one day.""You got it."He returned to his office afterward and continued his work. Nevertheless, Stephanie was hysterical. It occurred to her that she did not have Tim's c
They followed him afterward. Shortly after, they were on the premises. To their chagrin, Bright and his friend, Ted were waiting along with Collins.They saluted the Second in Command and the Minister accordingly and they returned the salute.Kay asked the General Manager, "Why have you not closed?""I can't close when my president has not," he answered him sincerely.He was pleased with him. He looked around and saw over two hundred staff members waiting for him. He concluded that George must be a good leader to attract such a gesture. Although Godwin did not comment on it, he had taken note. He watched his crew members as they set their equipment.At 7:55 PM, the Airport Manager called Kay and informed him that they would land within six minutes."Thank you for informing me," he appreciated him and continued to wait.Meanwhile, they landed a few minutes earlier and he informed him again. Without delay, they boarded the helicopter and left the airport. Not quite long, they were in th
He was on lunch when he saw George's trip. He dropped his cutlery and focused on the television. His joy escalated when he saw him granting an interview to the pressmen. He was engrossed in the television and did not know that Collins had driven into the courtyard. Before Ella walked in, the news was over, and he was surprised to see her.She was surprised to see him in such a happy mood. She walked up to him, crossed her hand on his shoulder, and kissed his temple."Welcome back, my love," he greeted her warmly.She sat down opposite him, studied his face for a clue, and answered him, "Thank you, dear. How was your day?""My day was fine. And yours?""Fine," she answered him."How did you come back?""Good afternoon, Old man," Collins greeted him."Ha! Good afternoon, Collins. Thank you for bringing her back.""It is my pleasure, Old man. I will be on my way," he informed him."It's okay. Take care.""Take care, Sergeant," Ella added."I will. Goodbye.""Welcome back, Duchess," Fran
All the same, he was happy that he cheered Bright up.Laura whose embargo on eating in the canteen would end that day, was eating in the lobby. She was ashamed of herself when she saw George's confidence. She focused on the television with her mouth agape."What is giving this boy so much confidence? 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? All my efforts are failing," she said in despair.Now, she lost her appetite, stopped eating, and covered her flask. To keep herself busy until the break was over, she picked up her phone. She was not surprised when George's story popped up and grimaced. She read the comments by some ladies about George and was jealous."Imagine that? What about us?" She asked herself.At The Dome Vincent woke up and was idle - the lifestyle he hated most. Previously, he would have been on the road and wou
At Raino Airport The team landed after seven hours. They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once. The reporters were disappointed. They thought they would walk to the lobby and grant them an interview. Since they did not, they ran after them. When they caught up with him, they began their interview, "Welcome to Rai
At The Canterbury Defense Academy The cadets were in the mess room having their breakfast when they were watching the broadcast. Gerald and Samuel became cold at once but concealed it. Although they were still with their phones, they could not call Tim or George for fear of being reprimanded for disturbing them. Gerald ate his food as though he was not disturbed. Afterward, he walked to Samuel's section and met him staring at his food and lost in thought. Despite that, he would do nothing; his presence could assuage his anxieties. "Eat your food," he encouraged him.Samuel was startled by his voice and looked up. He smiled dryly when he saw him and said, "Okay."He watched him as he finished his food and got up.Now, everyone was out of the mess room and walking to their classrooms. It was time to speak on the broadcast."Maj. Young would have separated his head from his neck. Foolish man.""I don't know why they hate us.""What was the driver's offense?""I wish I knew. He wished t
At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow! He has spoken with his parents-in-law. That is good," he pointed out.He vacillated over calling Tim to find out his whereabouts."He may be too busy, and I don't want to disturb him," he said, got up, and headed to his room.After changing his clothes, he laid on the bed for a nap. He woke up a few minutes before 6 PM and concluded that he was back. He was about to leave his room when he got a call from him. He picked it up anxiously and greet
"Yes, Mom and Dad. We indicated our interest to get married today.""Wow! I thought you would never marry, Ella," her mother teased her.She laughed softly and responded, "It is not so, Mom. I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?" Her mother asked her curiously."Is the man handsome?" Her father asked her jokingly and she laughed aloud."I can't wait to see the man who is worthy of your love," her mother added."We shall see. Speak with my husband," she said."Are you with him?" Her mother anxiously asked her."Yes, Mom. He heard everything you said about him."Before her mother could react, she handed the phone over to the old man. He looked at her happy face before he spoke."Good day, Mother-in-law. I am pleased to speak with you."'So it is true?' she mumbled before she greeted him, "Good day, my in-law. I'm happy to hear from you. How are you?""I'm good. And you?""We a
At The Christchurch DomeVincent was only following them like a sheep being led to the slaughter. Left for him, he would love to be with his family. When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing. When he did not, he opened the door for him and said, "Come out."He obeyed and he shut the door. He led him to the foyer while Tim called the Second in Command.When he picked up the call, he greeted him, "Good evening, Tim. What's up.""Good evening, Your Excellency. Are you still in the office?""No.""It is okay. I took the driver away from the hospital. Dr. Morgan was responsible for the mix-up.""Oh, my God! Where are you?""I'm at the Dome. He is safer here.""Wait for me. I'm still around.""It's all right," he said and the call ended.He got out of the car and joined the two in the foyer. Incidentally, Vincent's phone rang, and he tried to pick up the call."For now, no calls until we
Nevertheless, the media crew parked in front of the hospital and waited for instructions from the Minister."I will let you know what to do," he informed them."We got it, Boss," they answered him simultaneously.The three of them followed Tim who was leading the way. At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha
