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

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.

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

Meanwhile, Tim had surprises for the boys.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCBefore 4 PM, Laura was starving and had cried her heart out.

We don't pray to have staff members here,” she advised her after she unlocked her.Laura stormed out and walked away without ap

“What if we take the clunker home? I will take them to the clinic with a car.” Tim obeyed but laughed inwardly. Meanwhile, Gerald and Samuel had the same opinion but could not speak out because they did not know his relationship with the cars.

How is work?”“Work is fine, Your Excellency.”“How is your boy? He is not doing badly.”“He is fine. You are right. He is a nice boy.”“How did you get him?”Tim looked at the Second in Command and his face was unreadable. He faced the Head of State and informed him, “Gen. Hill brought them to me.”“That is good to hear. How did you get him, Kay?”“They were unassigned soldiers who while away their time at the mess hall. I felt they would be useful to him as his domestic staff.”“That is interesting.

It would have been nice,” Gerald wished but he could not.Apart from not having his phone, no soldier was doing that.

At The President's Office Capt. Bolton walked in after he settled down and informed him of the Cadets.“How many of them are we supposed to absorb?” He asked and pretended as if Bright had not informed him.“We absorb one hundred of them every year.”“That is good to hear. How much stipend do we pay them?”“Nothing. The experience they gain from us is enough for them.”“Don't you think that it is absurd? If we can't encourage them, who will?”The General Manager thought for a while and explained, “I have not given it a thought.”“There is room for improvement.
