Now, the youths were scared and looked at the shrewd elder for his response.Meanwhile, the compensation seekers were hanging around and patiently waiting for their reward without paying attention to them."Let us do as he said, Sir" one of the youths pleaded with George.Now, Elder Kefas was on top of the world after the youths accepted his proposal over George's and he resolved to flaunt it.He inched closer to him and boasted rudely, "They know who to obey."In a flash, George released his bottled-up anger on him, "(Slap. Slap) How dare you come close to me?" He asked him indignantly."Huh!" Tim exclaimed and looked at the elder.The others were not left out. The Duke was surprised and began to walk towards them. To prove that he was still the local champion, he tried to attack George with vengeance and vehemence but he got more than he bargained for. Richard blocked him and cleared his two legs off the ground and he landed on the floor."What does he want to do?" George asked cal
Previously, he was skeptical about the admittance of the act but when he perceived that they were harmless, he accepted, “Yes, Sir.”To amuse himself, he asked further, “I thought you exonerated yourself from the act previously.”“You are right but I just recalled that in addition to praying for him to die, I teamed up with Cecilia and planted a poisonous mushroom in his house. As you can see, I worked harder than everyone,” he admitted joyously.Nevertheless, his assertion did not augur well with the others and they murmured. Although they did not speak out, Tim could read their facial expressions. He looked at Elder Kefas' wife and inquired, “Is your name on this list?”“Yes, Sir. My husband informed me about it.”“I see. Why was your name on the list?”“I don't know, Sir,” she answered innocently.Now, George was emotional. He thought of how his father agonized in pain for several years with no medical help and walked back to the car. Tim watched him for a while before he faced th
At Tim's House The outing was a joyous one for the family but Tim wished to know why George was disrespectful and invited him to his study.“What happened in the morning, George? I told you that I don't want the boys to come with us but you were bent on having your way,” he asked him angrily.Tim regretted his actions when he saw his wet eyes because his confidence may be harmed. He locked eyes with him for a while and looked away without a word. They were silent for some minutes before he spoke.“I grew up without siblings and it was difficult for me. They are the only siblings I have and I can't see them sad.”Tim was calm but digested his words. Afterward, he declared, “We both suffered the same thing as children, but we should not over-pamper them because of our pasts.”Instead of answering, he looked askance at him, and he continued, “If not, they may never be independent, and that is not good for any of us.”“I got it, Boss. I will be careful next time,” he promised him.“That
Her looks explained why she greeted them wrongly and they did not respond. Likewise, Barr. Gibson went straight to the point. He brought out the subpoena from his folder and stretched it to her. “Kindly go through this, Miss Dickson and acknowledge the receipt by signing here,” he said and pointed at the spot where she would sign.“What is it again, Barrister,” she asked in despair and began to read while they focused on her.If Tim was not dead, she would have concluded that he got the news after Dr. Robinson released the video. Since he was dead, he concluded that the barrister must have done that. All the same, She dried her tears, which made the write-ups blurry, and continued reading.“Oh, my God,” she staggered backward and screamed when she saw her offense.The barrister supported her from the back and stopped her from slumping. When she was stable, she continued.Afterward, she faced the barrister and said, “Point of correction, Barrister, I did not abort any twins.”“Just si
He collected the pack happily and appreciated her, “Wow! Thank you so much for this, Mrs. Gilchrist.”“Think nothing about it. I hope to have you by the next holiday,” she answered happily.“I hope so as well.”The Head of State's Chief security officer and other staff members were not left out. They gave him suitable gifts for a student and he was delighted. He appreciated them one after the other. Later, Tim came to pick him up. Since it was his last day, he decided to see the Head of State.After the salutation, he offered him a seat, and Tim appreciated him, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for absorbing my brother. He had learned a lot.”“You don't need to bother. He is a good boy.”“Thank you for the compliment. We shall be on our way.”“Wait a minute. What will he like as a gift?” The head of state asked and he waited.“I don't think you have to bother yourself. Let him learn how to serve out free will.”“You are right but my office will take care of his term school fees. I think t
Samuel quickly walked into his arms and hugged him tightly. Tim hugged him as well and after some seconds, he released him and looked into his wet face.He cleaned his tears with his hand and said, “You are a strong boy. I know you will make us proud.”Samuel snorted, “I will,” and acquiesced.Although Gerald was not whimpering he could not hide his feelings. He looked at the two and tried to be a big boy. Instantly, he called out, “Samuel, stop crying, or your mates will make fun of you.”His advice worked like magic, and he braced up.“Have a nice day, Brother-in-law,” he said and dried his tears.Tim gave him a reassuring smile and tapped his back, “I wish you the same,” he responded.They dragged their bags and moved while he watched them with nostalgia until they disappeared. Unknown to them, their drama would make an attention-grabbing headline for a few days. Apart from Erick's father, the other parents were thrilled to see such fondness between a supposed driver and his master
With Jerry's approval, Barbara did not bother to question his movement. Likewise, Laura was occupied with the thought of how to defend herself in court since no lawyer agreed to stand for her. Therefore, she did not notice him. Even if she did, she would not have recognized him.At The GatehouseCpl. Simpson was aware that George and the other managers would be having their weekly meeting and dared not disturb him. Apart from the meeting, the Captain's request was absurd and unworthy of his attention.“Kindly take your seat, Captain,” he informed him.Without a response, he sat on the three-seater stainless chair and crossed his legs. Now, the time was a few minutes to 10 AM. To fulfill all righteousness, he dialed the General Manager's landline.“Hello, Corporal. How may I help you?” The clerk asked him.“Hello, Clerk. I wish to speak with the boss,” he said to the hearing of the Captain.“He is out for his weekly meeting.”“I see. Thank you for informing me,” he said and cut the cal
He understood the look and got up. Shortly, he returned with a cup of tea and Tim appreciated them. He began to sip the tea and was attracted to the television. The news of the resumption of the schools in Canterbury, especially the Defense Academy, was going on, and he was attracted to it. To his delight, he saw the queue at the gate but only the luxury cars were displayed, so he was not bothered about any form of publicity. He laughed silently and lifted his cup of tea. He was sipping it when he saw the clip of the affectionate moment with him and the boys and he was awestruck. Likewise, he used the tea cup to cover his surprise and pretended not to be interested in the news. “Who recorded this?” He asked himself. Nevertheless, he looked at Stephanie and noticed she was not watching the news. He put his teacup down and focused on the news. He saw the other schools and laughed at a family whose child ran back to the car to avoid going to school. “What if their parents see us?” He
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! What are you doing here?
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. They had the meal happily and avoided discussing their proposed visit to the mining field. Their reasons were simple - to avoid luring the other managers from volunteering to come with them. Afterward, they returned to their offices and hoped to leave at 2 PM.Nevertheless, the exhausted Laura returned a few minutes before 2 PM. As for lunch, she was aware that she had miss
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. I will submit it to him after that."Instantly, she began to fidget and asked her, "Huh! When will that be? I should be in my office."She paid no heed to her question and simply said, "Kindly wait at the reception.""Hey! I'm in trouble," she exclaimed, got up and w
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?" Tim off
