“Oh! I apologize if it had caused you any embarrassment.”“Never mind. You are not at fault. Kindly correct the misleading information. The auction sales will take place this coming Saturday at ten zero, zero hours in the complex.” “I got it. I will correct that at once.”“It all right.”Capt. Trenton cut the call and searched George's face. He was happy that he was satisfied.“That is a good one. We will have a free advert for the event,” George said, and the others laughed.They were still laughing when the Head of the Media Department got a call and they halted. He looked at the caller and smiled before he picked up the call.“Hello, MD,” he greeted.“Before I forget, is there any contact person for the public to contact concerning the auction sales?”The Head of Media looked at the General Manager for his approval and he advised, “Give him my secretary's details.”“Yes, MD. I will forward the details to you right away.”“That would be fine. Kindly give the pictures of the cars to

At The Canteen George spent the whole of the morning in the Production Department and monitored the television broadcasts. Meanwhile, he was happy with himself and could imagine how Laura was standing in the empty office. “Can you imagine the guts? (Yes. It has everything to do with the present administration. I am hopeful that everything will fall into shape when the President resumes.) She is indirectly saying that I don't know what I am doing. Stupid girl,” he cursed and walked to the canteen. Presently, Stephanie was not finding it easy. The callers were not mindful of the time - whether she was on break or not. They called at their convenience and in most cases, her line would be busy. She walked into the canteen and observed that all eyes were on her. Before she could process the reason for that, her phone rang again and she picked up the call.“Hello. This is the Auxiliary Armory PLC. How may I help you?”“Hello, Miss Benjamin. I got your contact from the television.”“That

Howbeit, she left it unlocked and walked away. She got to the elevator and joined the other staff members in the queue. After she got in, she pressed the fifth button and everyone wondered. “Have you not closed from work today, Laura?” A concerned staff member asked her.“I have. Why do you ask?”“I can see that you are not going home yet.”“I am going home,” she smiled softly and responded while concentrating on the lift. It stopped when they got to the fifth floor and the door opened. She walked out quickly and headed to Stephanie's office. Unfortunately, she had left the office.“Idiot. She must be at the car park,” she told herself and rushed back to the elevator.To her annoyance, she had to wait for the two lifts that had taken the passengers to the lobby to return.“Shit! I can't wait,” She exclaimed and resolved to use the staircase.“What is she doing here?” The other staff members asked each other. She hardly left when the lift opened and they got to the first floor befo

At that point, Tim adjusted and fixed his eyes intently on his device.“Welcome back, my dear,” her mother greeted her weakly. Instead of answering, she looked at her father's hopeless face and asked, “What happened to my brothers? Please don't tell me that they are dead?”“I wish I would not say so. Your brothers are not in school,” her father announced.She was hysterical and cried louder. Her parents cried weakly because they were tired of crying.On the other hand, Tim was lost and wondered which brothers she was talking about. When she calmed down, she asked, “Who told you that they were not in school?”“The Commandant. I got to the school …”“Where could they have gone to?” She asked dejectedly.After a long silence, her father asked, “What happened to you, Laura?”“Yes. Did you fight with anybody?” Her mother asked.“Yes, Mom and Dad. A colleague vilified me before the President's Representative and he hated me. Now, he is using her as the President's Secretary instead of me.

“Yes, Boss. I am prepared.”“I like that. You will address the soldiers tomorrow. You would have done that today but I forgot to inform you.”George's eyes widened and Tim asked, “I thought you said that you are prepared.”He composed himself and answered. “Yes. I'm prepared, Boss.”“I will give you the contact of the Brigadier before you leave for work tomorrow.” “I got it, Boss.”“Good. Is there anything else you want me to know?”“None, for now, Boss.”“It's all right. Just a heads-up. My brothers are coming tomorrow.”“Wow! I can't wait to see them.”“Okay. You can leave.”“Good night, Boss.”“Good night.”At The Canterbury Defense Academy.After the call, Gerald walked to his brother's block and searched him out.“Guess what, Samuel,” he requested.Samuel looked at his happy face and asked, “What's up?”“Just guess?”“What will you give me if I guess rightly?”“I will take you to Brother-in-law's house tomorrow.”Samuel laughed aloud and asked, “Can you even trace his house?”“I

“Thank you for that, dear,” she appreciated him and walked into the office.Meanwhile, when Gilbert informed George that he had a visitor, he looked through the security camera and saw her. His mind went to the auction sales jingles and he wondered if anything had gone wrong.“Good morning, President,” she greeted ruefully. George was surprised and tried to cheer her up, “Good morning, Stephanie. How are you coping with the jingles?”“I'm coping well, President. I came to apologize for my shameful act,” she declared.George furrowed his brow and asked, “What happened? Were you rude to any caller?”“Not at all, President. After work yesterday, … I am deeply sorry, President. I promise that it will not happen again,” she concluded and could not look up. George was unease after listening attentively to her story. After a while, he advised her, “I have heard you but I would like you to put all you have said in writing.”“Thank you, for that, President.”“You're welcome. Address it to th

At Tim's HouseHe was monitoring all the activities in the office and was happy with the support given to George especially the humility of Brig. Dale.So far, he could not tell what punishment George would give to the two erring staff members.Meanwhile, George returned after two hours with the Brigadier and read through Stephanie's letter.“Why can't this untrained girl do the same thing? She has been here with me and has not thought of apologizing,” he murmured.He looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 11 AM. Instantly, he called Cpl. Barton. Tim was on and off his monitoring device because of the news.At The President's OfficeCpl. Barton arrived after a few minutes and saw Laura and Gilbert hanging on the window. He did not answer her question the previous day when she inquired about when to refurbish the office. Not because he did not wish to but because he had no answer for her.“Good morning, Cpl. Barton,” they greeted him simultaneously.“Good morning,” he answe

At The Canteen George and the managers were sitting and chatting at their usual table. Capt. Abrams, one of the managers who was at the fight scene the previous day complimented George, “Your decision is apt. We warned her, but she would not listen.”“Did you witness the fight, Capt. Abrams?” Capt. Bruce asked.“Yes. I was there with the Personnel Manager.”“I see,” Capt. Bruce stated.To their consternation, Stephanie walked in and they gave George a questioning look. He understood the look and smiled softly.“She reported herself and apologized,” he informed them.Capt. Bolton pretended not to know what they were talking about and the other managers heaped praises on her.“That is good to hear.”“She must be well-trained.”“That is the hallmark of a respectful staff.”“Before I forget. How is the registration for the auction sales going?” George faced the General Manager and asked.“It is going on well. The buyer is happy with us for our help.” “I like that.”Soon, the waiter ser

He said many things and concluded with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a new Mount Olive. It is a Dukedom that will surpass other Dukedoms in Canterbury."The other Dukes grinned at his boastful remarks and said, "Don't be too sure."He laughed softly and continued. "After ...""He is laughing like Oliver," one of the Dukes pointed out."Not just that. The voice sounds like his," another Duke responded."After we close, the dignitaries, my fellow Dukes, and elders will join me at my palace for lunch," the old man continued and confused them all the more."His palace? Where is it?" One of the eight elders asked his fellow Duke."The palace of course. Oliver's house.""Is it that dilapidated house?""Yes. Is it not better than going to Harry's house?""That killer? I wouldn't have gone ""You got it," the other admitted.The old man looked at the audience and said, "The others will have their lunch in this hall. I hope you are not offended?"He paused and waited for their reac

The question raised uproar among the youths who cheered up at once and shouted simultaneously, "Me."Just like a magic wand, the hall was electrified and the dignitaries were happy."It is good to know that all of you can. The first two people to get here will have the Mic," he stated.Despite the number that he mentioned, the youths walked briskly to the stage. In a jiffy, there were ten of them on the stage."Ha!" I want only two," he looked at their happy faces and stated.Then, he faced the excited audience and asked, "How do I drum the excess out?""By balloting," some shouted.The old man could imagine how they would feel if they were evicted and he intervened, "Permit all of them to perform.""Wow!" The ten youths shouted and appreciated him one after the other, "Thank you, Your Grace.""Thank you, Our Great Duke."He waved at them by way of response and they faced the host."Now, let us see you perform."At that point, Fabian was thrilled and wished to get back to the stage an

The Duke paused his goodwill message and looked at the big screen like the others. The film began when the elders, especially Elder Kefas, claimed that the building belonged to their brother.Such a claim did not go down well with the citizens because they were aware that they were sworn enemies."Your brother indeed," some murmured.It also showed how a fearful-looking woman was crawling and begging for her husband's corpse. "Hey!" They screamed when the building collapsed and someone screamed.They continued watching, and one of the Duchesses, who had been silent, spoke to her husband, "They did not even bother to take him to the hospital.""You are right. They are asking for his corpse because they are aware that they killed him," another person added."Can you imagine that? They were just waiting for him to die," another duchess said."And after his precious stone.""Hey!" The audience screamed when Elder Kefas and others admitted that they were praying for the Duke to die.Befor

Harry felt that he must nip the problem in the bud and called Tim again. The Dukes who must obey, began to file out of their seats. At that point, Tim's phone rang again and he decided to answer the caller before the Dukes would get to the podium.He brought out his phone quickly from his cross bag and looked at the caller.“Is he insane? Why is he calling me?” He asked himself angrily.To stop him from disturbing him again, he resolved to pick up the call and put things right.“Hello. How may I assist you?” He asked him.“Hello, Officer. Kindly inform the Head of State that things are going wrong in Mount Olive. You can come over and see things for yourself.”“What is going wrong if I may ask?”“The Minister wishes to install a fake Duke. You have to come over and stop …”“You are the fake Duke,” he interrupted him and declared.Before he could express his shock, Tim cut the call and focused on the installation. Meanwhile, to get a proper view of the podium, Richard got out of the b

He shook his head negatively and said, “I don't know him.”Meanwhile, Cassie was monitoring them, and when he saw Cpl. Simpson assumed that he was aware of what he was doing and relied on his judgment.He signaled to him to ask if they were set and he nodded. Cassie was pleased and continued, “His Excellency, the Head of State represented by the Minister of Culture, the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC, the Senior Police Officer among us, ladies and gentlemen, kindly stand up and honor the Duke as we usher him in.”Before the bewildered audience could protest, the Minister and President were already standing. They stood up, too, and looked on.The host faced the police band and signaled them to give them soft music and they complied.At the entrance door, the eight Dukes were distraught with the disorganized situation and wished that they would be allowed to leave. Meanwhile, the elders could not decide what to do, especially with the presence of the soldiers around them.“Usher

"Thank you for bringing them, Valentine,” Richard appreciated him after the greetings.“It is my pleasure, Major,” he responded.“Thank you, Supervisor, for bringing your brother-in-law,” Tim teased him with a smirk. He smiled shyly and Tim continued, “You have not told us how you changed the rules of the strict University of Ghent within a few hours.”Valentine laughed aloud and tried to explain, “It was …”He stopped when he saw the Minister of Culture's entourage. Tim smiled broadly and waited for him to alight from his vehicle.“Good morning, Lt. Col. Swanson,” Richard and the other soldiers saluted him.He returned the salute and gave Tim a nod. He smiled at him and instructed, “Ask your secretary to get the hard copy of the program from the event planner.”“I got it, Boss,” he said and informed his secretary.The secretary moved at once. He got into the hall and walked to the event planner who was standing with his workers in the foyer.“Good morning, Event planner. I'm Cassie

The speaker picked offense and scolded him, “Watch your tongue. How dare you insult me. Have you hosted one before?”“Of course. Do you think that I am a village man like you,”A foul mouth deserves a slap. Unexpectedly, the last speaker got two slaps on his cheeks."Hey!" He shrieked in pain and pounced on the enemy.“Stop,” the other youths shouted and tried to separate the fight.They should not have bothered because the soldiers were all over the place. They whipped them mercilessly and shouted, “Go home. All of you." Unfortunately, all of them were whipped, and the innocent ones felt bad. They began to run and rub their backs at the same time. Saturday At The Mining Field Valentine could not ask for any other life from his present one. He was so occupied with so many responsibilities that he hardly had time for himself, and he loved it so. They woke up and had their breakfast as usual.“We are set, Supervisor,” Fabian and Tyler walked up to him and announced.Valentine was be

While the others were interested in the news, Tim was interested in the couples. He admired their outfits and was pleased with their wives.“Their wives are beautiful,” he pointed out and continued to admire them.'So, I would have been the only person without a wife if I was there?' He asked himself and remembered Stephanie.He imagined her face and looked at the Head of State's wife and the other women. “My wife will be as beautiful as they are,” he assured himself.Now, the story of the Head of State and the stranded Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff was over and they continued with their meal. After the meal, Tim hurriedly left for his room and began to think of life with Stephanie. He smiled and connected to her phone. “Wow!” He exclaimed when he saw her resting on the couch and watching the television.She was putting on her skimpy nightwear which exposed her straight and smooth legs. He kept admiring her with a sheepish smile.At a point, she adjusted and rested her two legs on the cent

At The Table Tennis Court The Second in Command was not just obedient to the Head of State. He was a good person who would ensure that the right things were done. When he got the Head of State's invitation to come with his wife, he concluded that he wished to unwind after a hectic day.“I have not played table tennis for long,” his wife complained.“That won't be a problem. We can bench you from the onset, and you will be watching us,” he teased her, and she revolted.“Who will you bench? Me? Never.”Kay laughed and advised her, “Then sit up.”“I will,” she took his advice and dressed up.They arrived and met Dale, the Commandant, and their wives. After the salutations, Kay observed that the three women were putting on a tank top paired with a skirt and asked them, “Did you plan to dress like this?” The women laughed lavishly and answered one after the other.“No, we didn't, Your Excellency,” Dale's wife answered him.“It was a coincidence, Your Excellency,” the Commandant's wife
