When he arrived, he requested, “Get a plate of soup for me.”

“I'm sorry to inform you, Captain. It is finished,” the waiter said to avoid Ella's wrath.

George smiled broadly at his good fortune and the Accountant looked around before he asked, “How come? How many people did you serve before it finished?”

Their discussion was halted by the President's broadcast and everyone paid attention.

(I, Gen. Felix Richmond, the Head of State and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Canterbury, my Second and Third in Command wish to call the attention of the United Nations to the barbaric art of my fellow Head of State, Field Marshal Brian Foxe - the Head of State of Kings Land. I considered it absurd, barbaric, and repulsive to sneak into my country and attack a young soldier who was going about his duty. This is unacceptable to me and I wish that he should tender apologies to the young soldier in particular and Canterbury as a whole. Thank you for listening.)

At that point, the manager

    “It is all right. I'm glad that he got what he deserved. A small country has defeated him,” Bright pointed out.“I'm happy that you are seeing it that way. What would you have done if you knew that I was attacked?”George's question took him unawares but he answered based on his emotions, “I would have killed him with my bare hands.”“Ha! Can you kill a Field Marshal with your bare hands?”Bright recalled himself and only laughed. He left afterward and George gave his visit a thought.“What has changed? Cecilia never loved my dad and me but Ella loved him unconditionally while Bright and others love me too.”At The CanteenAfter Ella left the old man, she was encumbered with how to break the news of additional soup for George.“I hope the Supervisor will understand,” she mumbled and got out of the bus.“Welcome back, Ella. There is an emergency,” the supervisor informed her.“Thank you, Supervisor. If I may ask, what is the emergency?”“Sgt. Young wished to give the managers a treat a

    He scanned him before he answered and offered them seats.“Thank you, Captain,” Richard appreciated him and they sat down.“This is Valentine. Sgt. Young …?”“Yes, Maj. Bowen. He has informed me of him,” he said.“I see,” Richard smiled and he faced Valentine.“I have checked the market value of your car and I am certain that you have done the same.”Valentine shamefacedly looked down and answered, “No, Captain. I have not.”“That won't be an issue. You can look it up on the internet,” the Accountant said and focused on him.He was shy to inform him that his phone was confiscated by George on the day of the fight. Richard who was familiar with his story smiled and intervened.“Let's go by your discovery, Captain. He will accept your offer.”“It is all right. Can I have your account details?”“I don't want the payment into my account. That will require me to go to the bank. Kindly pay it to the orphanage as a support for the upcoming anniversary.”The Accountant smiled and accepted, “I

    He focused on George with so many thoughts racing through his mind. Prominent among them was regretting sending him to the Defense Academy. It was his last option when he was hiding him from Cecilia especially when his health condition was not stable.“I got you, Young man. Don't allow them to pull you down. Okay?” He advised them.“We will not,” they answered simultaneously and continued with their dinner.After a long silence, the old man inquired, “I hope he did not hurt you?”“Not at all, Dad.”“That is good to hear.”Tim laughed inwardly at his selfishness and continued eating. They continued eating silently until they were through and showed appreciation accordingly. George took his prescription while everyone watched him.“You will be fine,” Tim assured him and he nodded in admittance. While they were resting and watching the television in the parlor, Samuel leaned closer to George and whispered, “Big brother, can I submit my assignment now for your assessment?”“Sure. Get it,

George Young' for him.After he settled down, Bright walked into his office with a cheerful demeanor while concealing the gift. He looked at him and teased, “You are happy today. Have you killed the Field Marshal with your bare hands?”Bright laughed hysterically while George watched him. At that point, he brought out the plaque from his jacket's inner pocket.“I got this for you, Boss,” he said and handed it to him.“Wow! For me?” He asked and collected it. He unwrapped the beautiful wrapping paper and saw a beautiful gold plaque.“Ha!” He exclaimed and read the inscription.Truly, everyone has their weak spot. He fought back his tears and

    The promise spoke about her family problem and she pitched her tenth there. She began to chat with the organization which assigned a Counselor to her. After narrating her story, the Counselor informed her that she was at the right place.She was delighted to know that and inquired further, (How will you solve my problem? You are not in my organization.)(That is a good question. If you appease the earth, we will solve your problem by conjuring the earth's elements. In your case, we will penetrate your organization by connecting with one of the elements which is the sand, and disturb the peace of the leadership until they overlook your case.)On hearing 'overlook', she was enraptured and continued chatting with the Counselor.(That is good to hear. Can we start now? I will be glad if they overlook the petition.)(Yes, we can. Are you ready to appease the earth?)“Sure. If you tell me what it entails.”“That is good. You will buy the items listed on our page. Just check them out.”“It i

    After the arrival of the members of the Supreme Military Council and the Chief Judge, the Third in Command and his entourage arrived. The Second in Command and his entourage arrived afterward. Nevertheless, the occasion was broadcast live on the radio and television. The commentators were doing a good job by being detailed in their reports.Lastly, the Head of State and his entourage arrived. There was something remarkable about his team and that was the presence of a cadet. It endeared him to the citizens who thought that Gerald was doing his internship in his office. As far as the Commandant was concerned, Gerald was either his son or ward. The Cadets in the Auxiliary Armory PLC who believed that they were on top of the world were surprised to see only Gerald who was not yet qualified for an internship in the Government House.“Does the Government House absorb Cadets?” They asked one after the other.On the other hand, it takes a thief to get a thief.

    Now, a security man from the gate had joined them and faced the other person.“Get down on your knees,” he shouted and the soldier looked at their leader for his opinion.“You are not entitled to do this to your guests. Is that how you treat a guest in your country?” Intimidation asked.While the soldier was delaying, the security officer roared, “Did you hear me? Go down on your knees.”He reluctantly knelt and focused on a confused Intimidation.“Say something, Intimidation,” the first soldier looked at him and requested.Now, Tim's face beamed at the revelation and he looked at the leader of the group. They locked eyes for a few seconds before Intimidation lowered his gaze. Afterward, Tim swallowed hard, faced Richard, and declared, “Don't bother searching them.”Richard and Valentine were surprised to hear that and wondered if they did not hear correctly but looked at him.Meanwhile, on hearing that, the three uninvited visitors were happy with him even though they were not aware

    He walked down from the stage while the people were clapping and headed for his seat. Nevertheless, Capt. Bolton stretched out his hand to him and they shook hands.“You did excellently well,” he complimented him.“Thank you for your support,” he said and took his seat.The other managers did the same and they stole the day by their level of cooperation and respect for a junior soldier.“How can they respect their junior like this?” A Head of State asked his neighbor.“He must be a good leader to earn their respect,” his neighbor remarked.“Whatever. I don't think I will be humble to work under my junior,” the Head of State pointed out.“That makes the two of us.”The occasion continued. At that point, Tim had sent a message to His Excellency informing him of the arrival of Intimidation and how he had handled him. “That is good of you,” he replied to Tim and informed his Second in Command.“This serious,” the Second in Command said.“You will announce it in your closing remarks to sh

    At The Mining Field Valentine and Fabian returned from Birmingham the previous night after ensuring that Ann had settled down. They were at work when Richard arrived and they welcomed him warmly. After the greetings, he informed Fabian that he would perform at the event and he was excited.“Thank you, Major, for finding me worthy to be at the occasion.”“You are welcome. Kindly give me your stage photograph and name,” he requested and he did.“Thank you, so much for accepting the invitation despite the short notice.”“It is my pleasure, Major. I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good. Kindly share your bill and payment details with me,” Richard requested.Valentine who was smiling happily all the while said, “I'm happy for you, Fabian.”“Thank you, Supervisor,” he said and faced Richard, “I appreciate the gesture, Major.

    The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away. Meanwhile, the edited jingle of the ceremony was on air. The posting of news was not as domineering as it was the previous day.At Mount Olive The edited jingle left much to be desired.

    “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? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff's Office He has been as happy as a lark and dancing with all his might since the breaking news.“They are no longer searching for the poster of the scandalous post.

    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.

    Kay did not want to argue further with him and concurred, “It is good, Your Excellency” “Good. Publish the postings and the take-off date and time at once.”“I will do that, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. You can leave.”“It is all right, Your Excellency,” they appreciated him simultaneously and walked away. 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

    At The Complex Soon, he was in the complex. He got out of the car and Richard drove off at once.Tim walked into the lobby, greeted his men with his head, and walked to the elevator. He pressed the button of the last floor and waited. When it opened, he walked in.The unfriendly-looking security team answered his greetings and let him in. 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. They have started planning how to visit the house.”“Huh! So early?”“It baffles me too. Samuel reminded me of the Waitangi Day holiday.”George laughed aloud and Tim was infested.Nevertheless, Major Bolton came around earlier to have a private meeting with George before the Weekly Meeting. He heard them laughing and wondered if another manager was there. He opened the door and walked in and was surprised at their familiarity. “Good morning, Major,” Tim got up from the visit

    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
