At The Front Desk

Laura was greatly pleased when she got Barr. Wentworth's email and imagined what to do with two million pounds sterling.

“They thought that they are smart,” she told herself and continued with her work.

It was not long, Ella walked into the lobby. Due to the cold shoulders Laura gave to her previously, she retaliated by treating her with disdain as well. She walked past her and headed to the elevator. Meanwhile, Laura concluded that she was going to see Bright. She was not bothered about her greetings but concentrated on her work. Soon the elevator gates opened and she walked in.

At The Legal Unit

After Barr. Fitzgerald returned, he sent for Ella through her Supervisor. He was waiting for her when she walked in and greeted him happily.

“Good morning, Barrister.”

“Good morning, Miss Patrick. Kindly sit.”

“Thank you for the offer,” she said and sat down.

    At The Guardroom Cpl. Simpson returned to the guardroom and asked the money bag questions and he was mute. He would not like to implicate his colleagues by involving them or revealing his address.“I intend to remove it by myself,” he explained.“Where will you take it to?” He asked angrily.“I know where to take it,” he answered.The Corporal glared at him and asked, “What do you take us for?”To avoid more trouble, he kept quiet.“Get ready for your work,” he thundered.The money bag breathed freely and watched the Corporal walk away angrily.“I should have allowed them to park their car anywhere they liked,” he thought regretfully.“I have been shut out of the world,” he lamented.Nevertheless, the Corporal returned to the President's office to inform him of the development. George listened to him carefully and gave him an option.“He didn't want us to know his gang members, as though he can stop us if we are interested in them.”“You are right, General.”“If he thinks that we are

    At Tim's HouseHe waited for her to answer the question, but she could not. He grinned in pleasure at her sudden loss of eloquence.“Even with four million pounds sterling, she can't do anything meaningful with her life,” he said.“Does she have two fathers? Is it the one that was chatting that was poisoned?” He asked himself and turned off his device.He walked to his room to take a nap. After changing to simple wear, he laid on the bed and closed his eyes but his phone ringtone would not allow him.“Oh, my goodness!” He exclaimed and sat up.He picked up the phone and was amazed to see the caller.“Good evening, Your Excellency,” he greeted him.“Good evening, Tim. Turn on your television if you are close to it.”“It is all right, Your Excellency,” he said and complied.He saw the Head of State of a powerful nation, Kingsland, Field Marshall Brian Foxe, boasting in his broadcast. He was threatening to wipe away a smaller and powerless nation, Oregany from the surface of the earth.“

    At The Front DeskAfter George got up, he walked out of his office and headed to the Production Department. He envisaged that the Sales Manager would be with Capt. Miles to inform him of the order and he imagined rightly.Laura was upset when he saw him walking unperturbed as though there was no petition.“Why is the barrister delaying? He promised to come this morning and submit a hard copy,” she asked herself and began to wait.At The Production“I thought as much. I knew I would meet you here,” George announced joyously after greeting Capt. Miles.“What brings you, Sergeant?” Capt. Miles asked.“Concerning the order. Let us wait for clarifications from the client. He can't stop us from satisfying our regular clients,” he stated without quoting the President.“You are right. How can he monopolize us,” the Production Manager pointed out.“But he has paid,” the Sales Manager said.“We are not contesting that. But his standing order. So, keep accepting orders.”“I got it,” Capt. Abrams

Tim was happy with the arrangements and wished to see the old man's face. To his delight, he walked into the parlor to update him on their meeting.“Old Man, do you wish to see me?” He asked pretending not to know that Ella was around.“Yes.

What are the names of the herbs? I can ask Frank to get them.”The old man pouted and took the blame, “I should have written them down.”“No. She should have written them down for you. Is that how she would take care of her patient?” He asked angrily and the old man was despondent.He allowed his anger to quell before pleading on her behalf.“Don't be hard on her. She promised to give the list to

    At The ComplexLaura expected to see Bright on the bus. That would help her in her conclusion about his status. To her disappointment, he was not there.“What is going on?” She asked herself and looked left and right like a pickpocket.Those who saw it were skeptical about her and wondered if she was normal.Nevertheless, Bright must taunt her.

    At Tim's HouseSgt. Courtney was a perfectionist and tried to imbibe the same in his workers. In addition to the other requirements, he encouraged Ella to prepare herbal soup for the old man and she did. Afterward, she turned it into a food flask.“Thank you for your advice, Sergeant. I will get going,” she appreciated him.“It is my pleasure.”Meanwhile, the old man was waiting patiently for her while different thoughts filled his mind.“I hope they have not sacked her because of yesterday's error?”“But she has not committed any offense.”“They should have allowed her to prove herself,” he hissed, ran his hand through his head, and continued to wait.Nevertheless, Collins was waiting for Ella at the canteen car park.

    At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What!

    He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r

    He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor

    To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared

    "I hope she is all right," he said and was restless.Before Tim walked to the foyer, he remembered Dale's summons to Richard's wife. He looked at his time and mumbled, "I would like to be there."He walked to his room and before he settled down, he heard a knock on the door."Come in, the door is not locked," he said, and George walked in with his stoic face."What is the matter. You scared the farmers away with your look," he made clear to him.He smiled weakly and asked him, "Did I? Miss Dickson attacked her colleague and injured her."Tim furrowed and dismissed him, "I have a meeting with Dale. We will talk about it when I return.""I got it, Boss," he said and returned to his room.Tim lay on the bed, breathed heavily, and asked himself, "What is wrong with this girl? Sacking her would not favor me otherwise, I would have done that."He thought for a while and resolved, "I know what to do?"Likewise, he rested for a while and got up. At that time, he heard Richard's car and tried

    To Valentine, Tim may sound boastful but Ambrose knew better. "What do you think, Ambrose? Do we employ another person for that?" Richard asked him."No, Major. I can handle it."He faced Tim, smiled, and undertook, "I got it, Boss. We won't let the Third in Command down.""If you say so.""That is good to hear. Let's see the farmers," Richard said and moved.They followed him at once and walked to the farm. Since the incident of Monday, the farmers had not seen Tim and Richard. They stopped work when they saw them and greeted them accordingly."Good afternoon to you all," they responded simultaneously.Tim stepped aside and Richard addressed them, "Thank you all for your patience."Meanwhile, George, the General Manager, and the team arrived and parked beside the clunker. They got out of the car immediately and George tried to walk to the estate."They are at the farm, Major," one of the security guards informed him after the salutations."Thank you for informing me," he said and mo

    At The Complex At lunch, Laura was not back, and Barbara took the initiative. She informed the Corporal of her intentions to be away for lunch and left. She returned at once with her packed food and ate in the cubicle. George and Bright met the General Manager in the elevator and informed him of the arrival of the machines."That is good to hear. I would love to see them. Or what do you think?""I planned to visit there after lunch. We can go together then," he declared.Now, the elevator door opened and they walked out."That is better," the General Manager said and they walked on.Soon, they were at the canteen.

    At Mount Olive "Kindly get your attorney, Young lady," the officer advised Laura."I was wrong, Officer. I shouldn't have missed my way," she declared, concealing her motive for visiting the palace.The officer pouted, gave her the statement paper, and said, "Write all you could remember about the incident here."Now, she was conscious of her office and afraid that she might be too late to work. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 9 AM.'Barbara would be happy to see me punished if I am late to work,' she lamented and began to write her statement quickly."I'm through, Officer," she showed her the statement and announced.She collected it, looked through it, and informed her, "The DPO is in a meeting.

    She saw herself walking into the palace and was covered with sweat immediately. The officer was calm and watching the television as well. She switched her look from the television to the officer. When she got to the point, she said, 'I'm in the wrong place,' she looked down and pursed her lips to suppress her nervousness.'Ella must have done this. The Duke does not know my house and could not have gotten my address,' she thought.The officer picked up her form and looked at it. Without any signs of anger, she said, "Your workplace on the form is different from what you said in the footage."'Why can't I get it right? Why can't I get what I want?' she asked herself in low spirits."Did you get my question?" The officer asked her when she failed to answer her."I apologize, officer. We can talk it over," she pleaded, hoping to bribe her.At Tim's House "Just calm down. Everything will be sorted out shortly," Tim advised Richard and they began to wait."Do you mind breakfast?"
