The Return of General Williams 41. The Disappointment 1
Her mind went to the bus and the comments from her colleagues (The newspaper publication is not necessary because the evidence of divorce is here. Can't you see that after the divorce, Mr. Williams collected all his vehicles from her and she had to join the bus?) (But Mr. Williams is dead.)(We are saying the same thing. His absence is the cause of her joining the bus.)“So, they thought that Tim was responsible for the cars?”“That's weird. He doesn't even own a garden cart and can't even drive a car,” she concluded. Not long, she drifted off.In The Morning“I will be on my way. Have a wonderful day, Mom and Dad,” she said after their breakfast.“Okay, dear. Kindly run along,” her mother said.“Have a great day too,” her father added and she left.She got to the estate gate and met the other staff members waiting for the bus and she greeted them cheerfully.“Good morning everyone.”“Good morning, Laura,” they responded and continued waiting.Part of the thing that made her head s

Meanwhile, his phone rang again and he ignored it. The Commandant cannot vouch that Ben did not have devilish intentions in the social media post and instructed him, “Apart from the aid, no visitor should speak with them.” “I wonder which relation would wish to speak with a student at this time of the day.”“You see what I mean. She is not even related to them."“You are right, Commandant. Otherwise, she would have known the right time to speak with them.”"That is it. It is just a ploy to get them and discredit the school.”“You agree with you,” the Housemaster said, and instantly blocked the number and left.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCLaura could not believe what she heard.“How can he say that I called the wrong number after announcing the name of the school?” She murmured.After a while, she looked at her phone and called the number again. She gazed intently at it while waiting for the call to connect. To her heartbreak, she discovered that she had been blocked.“He blocked my

At The Auxiliary Armory PLC - The President's Office It was Laura who walked in and she looked upset. Notwithstanding, George was surprised to see her but annoyed with her for barging into his office. He quickly restrained himself from tongue-lashing her and asked, “What brings you here, Miss Dickson?”“I need your help, Sgt. Young,” she said, trying hard to be friendly.“What kind of help do you need from me?” he grimaced his face and asked.“I tried to call my brothers' school this morning, but I was told that I had the wrong number. When I called back, I found out that my number had been blocked,” she explained. George was upset and concluded that she was below-average intelligence. “Do you require help from me, or you have come to tell me stories? Go straight to the point and stop beating about,” he advised her.“I apologize, Sgt Young. I mean, I wish to visit my brothers' school if you permit me. I will be back before you know it.”Without hesitation, he made it clear to her,

They posed for photographs afterward. Meanwhile, George shared the photographs with Tim. The pressmen will always appear like bees wherever there is honey. At that point, Laura was a history and the accomplishment of the new General and President took over the airwaves. Nevertheless, George granted an interview to the pressmen on behalf of the absent President. Likewise, an over-inquisitive reporter inquired, “What happens to your old cars?”Without second thoughts, he declared, “We intend to auction them to the public.”“Wow! That is a good idea. Permit me to ask, when will the auction take place?”“Coming Saturday morning.”“That is good to hear. Thank you so much for giving me attention.”“You are welcome.”At Tim's House After he spoke with the lawyer, he promised to be with him in a while. As a janitorial staff, he put on a simple wear and walked to the gate. “Good morning, Boss,” the gate men greeted him, respectfully. He answered their greetings and sat with them in the ga

At Tim's House After they concluded with the letter, he appreciated him again.“Thank you for everything, barrister. I can't wait to get the support.”“You are welcome. We are taking them one after the other. Apart from the support, she will compensate you for beating you up and aborting your baby.”“Wow! That is good, barrister.”“It is all right. You can go back to work, lest your manager gets offended by your absence.”“Okay. Goodbye, barrister.”“Goodbye, dear.” Tim got out of the vehicle and watched him drive away before he walked into his house. He was engrossed in his discussion with his lawyer when many things took place in the office. Now, he lay on his bed and pondered on many things. The news on the television jolted him up and he focused on it.The pressmen were good at blowing things out of proportion but that exaggerated headline favored Tim and everyone that day.(Gen. Tim Williams the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC has transformed the organization in absenti

At The Car ParkCapt. Bruce was glad that he settled the issue of the new and old buses among the drivers and no one would accuse him of favoring or cheating anyone.“I hope you are happy now?” He asked the oldest driver, who luckily picked a new car from the lucky dip. “Yes, Captain. Whether the new wine will be in an old wine skin, I don't care anymore,” the happy driver responded and they laughed merrily.Soon, it was closing time and the staff members were rushing to secure a seat in the new buses. As Capt. Bruce carefully planned it. Each route had two buses - a new and an old one. The early birds were lucky to get the new buses.“Wow! We are the first to ride on it,” a female staff member stated enthusiastically.“You are right. It feels good,” the others commented simultaneously.Nevertheless, Laura had composed herself after the barrister who came to disturb her over a dead rat, left. She believed that she should be given preferential treatment because of her position as the

His question gave the barrister some sense of accomplishment and he boasted, “Of course. There is no organization that I can not access in Canterbury. I walked into her office and served her the petition.”“That is powerful of you. Did she comply?”“Certainly. She has no choice.”“Oh, that is so awesome.”“Yes. The payment is in my account. I can transfer it to your account if you have any."“Yes. I have.” "It is all right. Provide me with the details.”“It's all right. I will give you my details right away.”He supplied his account that his grandfather opened for him when he was a cadet. In a jiffy, he got a credit alert. “Wow!” He exclaimed and called the barrister back to confirm the payment.“I got the credit alert, barrister,” he informed him after he picked up the call.“That is good to hear.”“I observed that you did not deduct your service charges. Why?”The barrister laughed and declined, “Never mind. It is part of my contribution to the society.”“Thank you for your kindn

At The Canterbury Defense Academy Nevertheless, after Gerald and Samuel spoke with Tim the previous day, as though they had an agreement, they saw their father's call and ignored it. They had the same opinion about their family - they were in the wrong place. When they remembered the last words of their father - 'I would rather get justice for my dog than for a wife beater', they concluded that they were selfish and apathetic and were not proud to be the children of such parents. Their anger increased when they discovered that their sister framed him and they thought that their parents were part of the plot.“Why is he calling me? Heartless man. Go and get justice for your dog instead of a human being,” Gerald sneered.They turned off their phones and submitted them to their Housemasters.Meanwhile, Before Laura left for work that morning, her father had left the house to search for his children. Although he had a sleepless night his discovery had put him on his toes. “Here we are,

At The Mining Field Valentine and Fabian returned from Birmingham the previous night after ensuring that Ann had settled down. They were at work when Richard arrived and they welcomed him warmly. After the greetings, he informed Fabian that he would perform at the event and he was excited.“Thank you, Major, for finding me worthy to be at the occasion.”“You are welcome. Kindly give me your stage photograph and name,” he requested and he did.“Thank you, so much for accepting the invitation despite the short notice.”“It is my pleasure, Major. I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good. Kindly share your bill and payment details with me,” Richard requested.Valentine who was smiling happily all the while said, “I'm happy for you, Fabian.”“Thank you, Supervisor,” he said and faced Richard, “I appreciate the gesture, Major. I will do th

The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away. Meanwhile, the edited jingle of the ceremony was on air. The posting of news was not as domineering as it was the previous day.At Mount Olive The edited jingle left much to be desired. Instead of including

“Huh!” He exclaimed and laughed euphorically.Tim was infested and laughed as well.“How can I invite them?” He asked him.“Are they not your friends? Let me have the names of the friends you wished to invite.”“It is all right,” he said and gave him the names of eight Dukes and he walked away.He got to his room and contacted the fake Duke and asked him to invite them.“Sir, we have invited them but they declined the invitation,” he answered.Tim was surprised and asked him, “Why? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff's Office He has been as happy as a lark and dancing with all his might since the breaking news.“They are no longer searching for the poster of the scandalous post. Maybe they searched and could not get me," he said to himself and continued dancing. Unfortunately, he had no friends to share his joy with nor did anyone call to rejoice with him. Not bec

Tim walked into George's office and they locked eyes. He noticed that he was sad and inquired, “What's up, Boss?”“I don't know how the boys would cope with a new Commandant,” he sat down and responded.“You just said my mind. You should have advised the Second in Command.”“The Head of State distorted his work after he submitted the list to him.”“Ha! He must have his reasons.”“What could be his reason? That was the man responsible for the scandal against him,” Tim blurted out.George was bewildered and he locked eyes with him. After a while, he spoke, “Maybe he wished to disgrace him by sending him to where he cannot function well.”Tim looked at him for a while before he said, “You may be right. I have not thought of that. But he should not joke with the children's studies.”“Let's watch out.”Tim wanted to speak but the door opened and he halted. George smiled when he saw the visitor. Tim turned and saw the General Manager. He got up at once and greeted him, “Good morning, Maj.

Kay did not want to argue further with him and concurred, “It is good, Your Excellency” “Good. Publish the postings and the take-off date and time at once.”“I will do that, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. You can leave.”“It is all right, Your Excellency,” they appreciated him simultaneously and walked away. At The Second in Command's OfficeThey got to Kay's office and he asked Tim, “What kind of posting is this?”“Huh! Can Ben manage the school?”“It baffles me. I thought he would punish him because of that scandalous post against the school and the government,” Kay stated.“I thought so as well. Does it mean that he is compensating him for working against his government?”Kay walked to his swivel chair and sat down while Tim sat on the visitor's seat and waited for his response.“That is the challenge. He will assume that his act was not discovered.”Tim noticed that he was angry and pacified him, “Don't let it bother you. Just publish the postings.”“Thank you for your conce

At The President's Office Bright and Gilbert have observed that George laughed exceptionally aloud whenever Tim was with him and that day was no different. He walked in after he left the General Manager's office. Nevertheless, George had been curious to hear the outcome of his visit.He looked at his hand and grimaced his face, “What did he give to you?” He asked him anxiously.“I have not checked it,” he answered and sat down.He brought the gift out of the shopping bag and a smile beamed across his face, “It is a handset,” he announced happily.“Wow! What did you do for him to attract this? I mean what attempted deceit did you foil during the Widow and Widowers Empowerment Program?”Tim laughed and narrated the story. George laughed aloud and pointed out, “Oh! They don't value you but wish to enrich themselves through you.”“Just imagine that but he regretted it. Seeing a supposed ghost will disturb him any time he remembers it.”“You are right. Congratulations on your New Year gif

Tim shook his head and asked her, “What is remaining? Just make it five times a week.”“No. I'm not selfish. Four and a half are all right by me.”“Not selfish indeed. If I do, what will I tell your boss is my reason for frequenting his office?”Now, the die was cast and she looked forlorn. They locked eyes for a while and saw the burning desire they had for each other in their eyes. Tim looked away and his eyes fell on her phone.“Your phone is fine,” he complimented her.She smiled happily and said, “Thank you for the compliment. It was my birthday gift.”“Wow! That birthday cake was one in town and now this.”“I was shocked as well. Even the former President's wife had not celebrated her birthday with such size of cake,” she explained.“I see. What is the brand of the phone? Let me take a look.”She innocently gave him her phone and he pretended to be studying it. He kept her busy with compliments while connecting her phone to his. When he was done, he teased her by asking, “Can w

At The Complex Soon, he was in the complex. He got out of the car and Richard drove off at once.Tim walked into the lobby, greeted his men with his head, and walked to the elevator. He pressed the button of the last floor and waited. When it opened, he walked in.The unfriendly-looking security team answered his greetings and let him in. He walked in and greeted Bright and Gilbert accordingly before walking into George's office.He was happy to see him and asked him immediately, “How did it go?”“It went well. They have started planning how to visit the house.”“Huh! So early?”“It baffles me too. Samuel reminded me of the Waitangi Day holiday.”George laughed aloud and Tim was infested.Nevertheless, Major Bolton came around earlier to have a private meeting with George before the Weekly Meeting. He heard them laughing and wondered if another manager was there. He opened the door and walked in and was surprised at their familiarity. “Good morning, Major,” Tim got up from the visit

Likewise, he sent a message to Richard and informed him that they arrived safely. He pleaded for an off on Monday. Afterward, he began to wait for his response.He had been busy since he disembarked and had not gone online. Now that he had settled in his hotel room, he could do that. He was shocked to see their story and pictures trending.He furrowed his forehead and asked himself, “Who is doing this?”Presently, he was panting and sweating despite the January cold. He sat up from the bed and read the details of the story quickly. To his delight, the post was not harmful and his details were not explicit.He tossed his phone aside and breathed in and out before lying back on the bed.“What will she do if she finds out about my past?” He asked himself.“What about her parents and brother? They are too morally upright to accept me as their son-in-law,” he lamented.The fear that he would lose her gripped him at once and he began to cry like a baby. At that point, he could not think of
