Shortly, Capt. Bolton and George walked out of the office and headed to the Tenth floor.

At The President's Office

The two walked in as though Laura was not there.

“Like I said, the painter can start the painting work at once. Tomorrow will be a busy day for us.”

“I got it. I will get the Corporal to send his boys,” the General Manager stated and dialed the gatehouse number while George focused on him.

“Hello, General,” Cpl Barton greeted enthusiastically.

“It's the General Manager, Corporal. Send your boys to meet me here.”

“I got it, Boss,” he said and the call ended.

For Cpl. Barton's personal reasons, he preferred to answer the call by himself. In a short while, he was at the President's office and greeted accordingly.

“Where are your boys?” Capt. Bolton asked.

“I will send for them if I know what to do, Captain.”

“It is all right. We need all the furniture out. We are starting the refurbishing of the office, now.”

“I got it, Boss. I will get some of my boys right away.”

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

    Her voice attracted Capt. Bolton and he looked up in its direction. When he saw her disheveled look, he commanded, “Take her out of here immediately.”Since on her accord, she stripped herself of Tim - her glory and covering, anyone can trample on her.“I got it, Captain,” the Corporal agreed and brought out his handcuffs.Nevertheless, the cameramen were diligent in their duties.

    A few minutes before 5 PM, Tim awoke from his nap rested, and invigorated. Then, he walked into the bathroom to make water and brush his teeth. He returned to the room afterward and began to dress up for the most treasured training from Samuel.“Where will this training take place and what will he even teach me?” He asked himself in wonderment. When he was set, he walked out of his room to the parlor.“Where is everyone?” He asked when he noticed that the house was quiet.Nevertheless, he walked to the foyer and discovered that they were waiting for him in the garden. He joined them and was pleased with the temporary training ground.“Wow!” He exclaimed and the boys were delighted.Apart from George, no other person knew that the training was specifically for their boss.

    At The Auxiliary Armory PLCGeorge arrived early and met Mabel, the Janitor on duty that week waiting for him. From the look of things, she may accuse Gilbert of vilifying her before the President's Representative as well.“Good morning, Sgt. Young,” she greeted happily.Without opening the door, George scanned her before he responded to her greetings, “Good morning, Janitor. How may I help you?” “I'm on duty here this week,” she explained.Instantly, he resolved that he would not work with her and requested, “That's good to hear. Ask your boss to send Gilbert to me.” Despite her crestfallen face, he never expected her to argue with him. He opened his door and walked in.“What is wrong with this, Gilbert? Why must he send for him?” She asked herself bitterly.They preferred the President's office to any other office in the complex because it had less work. Unlike the General Manager's and the Accountant's offices where most of the activities of the organization take place. They will

Presently, she was weeping and her husband was uncomfortable with it.“Stop crying, my dear. Let me call their numbers again.

They are the only officers free presently.” “Get two men from your office and replace these dogs with them.”“I got you, Captain,” he answered.“Can you imagine that? I didn't even recognize them,” George said and got up.“They should leave at once,” he said, and the General Manager watched him trying to walk out of his chair.“I have sent them away,” he informed him.“That is good,” he said and sat down.The General Manager breathed heavily and looked at George's face. When he observed that he was calmer, he made his request known. “The Supervisor of the Janitorial Services Company was in my office.”“I am aware. I sent him.

    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.

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.

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.

    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
