He got up too and watched her walking away.

“Thank you for coming.”

“It is my pleasure.”

Collins who had been waiting for her at the foyer got up at once and followed her.

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. The dietician came.”

“Oh, that is good. How was your meeting?”

“Our meeting went well. She recommended some herbs for me. She also recommended that I drink plenty of water.”

“I see. 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.

    At The Complex's Lobby Laura and her angry lawyer had not rested because of the nonchalant attitude of the company over their petition. The lawyer thought that he should be celebrating as the daring Human Rights Activist to dip his hands into the eyes of the company while she imagined that she should have been richer.Now, Barbara was disturbed with her frequent visits to the toilet each time her phone rang. She had done no work that morning apart from calling and receiving calls while Barbara did all the work.“You may leave me with no choice but to report you to the authorities if you continue like this,” Barbara warned her when she returned from the toilet for the umpteenth time.“What is my offense?” She feigned ignorance of her misconduct and asked.“You will soon find out when the remaining fifty percent of your salary is withheld,” she informed her bluntly.Laura panicked at the truth but could do nothing to defend herself.

I would like to see my portion beforehand.” The janitor furrowed his forehead and answered, “The old man has hijacked the pruning of the flowers. Let's find out if he will do that today.” “Okay,” he said and followed him. Meanwhile, when Ella joined him with the flask, he was over the moon and did not hide it. “Wow!” He exclaimed. “Were you pulling my legs?” He asked her. She laughed softly and stated, “I wanted you to eat your fruits before this,” she explained. “That is smart of you. I will eat it after one hour. Right?” “I'm glad that you still remembered.” “Yes. I promise to obey your instructions if that will make me strong enough to do my work.” “I like that,” she said and watched him chew and swallow the last fruit. “Thank you for the fruits,” he appreciated her and rested his back on the chair. “You are welcome,” she said and sat up. “I will be on

    “That is good to hear. I hope you had a good time?”“Yes. But I wish to contact her.”“It is all right. Have a lovely day?”“Okay. Bye.”After the call, he looked at the phone and mumbled, “Will they get cross with her for not giving me her contact?”He thought for a while and asked himself, “How do I explain to the General if he finds out that I don't have her contact?”After pondering for a while, he resolved, “I will call George back and request her number.”At The President's Office After the call with his father, George grinned a broad smile and dropped his phone.

    “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?

    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.

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

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.

    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
