“Good afternoon, President. Good afternoon managers,” Valentine greeted them nervously when he arrived.“Good afternoon, Supervisor,” George responded and he fidgeted.The others responded and the General Manager tried to help him to be stable by complimenting him, “You are doing well, Valentine. Keep it up.”On hearing his name, his face brightened up. He was glad that he was familiar with it, not knowing that he just signed his offer letter two days ago.“Thank you for the compliment, Capt. Bolton.”“We don't have much time. Take us to the apartments,” George who knew why he came, requested.“I got it, President,” he answered and led the way.They were happy to see the apartment and Capt. Sawyer realized that there was work for him.“When will they move in?” He asked.Without a second thought, the Accountant answered, “Immediately. Bringing them from the suburb and taking them back is expensive.”“We are aware. Over to you, Capt. Sawyer?” The General Manager said and George was glad
Reuben saw him running towards him and wondered what happened.“The boss said you should lend him your pen and paper.”“What is he writing?” He asked before he got the writing materials.“He wished to write something with them,” he explained.“Take. I will go with you,” he gave them to him and he moved.Reuben followed him but he got to the estate before him.“I have brought them, Boss,” he said to Valentine and handed the writing materials to him.“Thank you, for the help,” he said and faced everyone.“We have thirty apartments and we are thirty. I will …”“Are we included?” One of the foreigners asked him.Now, Reuben had joined them and Valentine answered, “Yes. Are you not one of us?” He asked him.“Pardon my misjudgment,” he pleaded and looked at his colleagues, who were as surprised as he was.Nevertheless, Valentine wrote one to thirty under their watchful eyes and folded the papers. Afterward, he shuffled and poured them on the floor.“Let us pick,” he instructed them.“You ar
After the greetings, he sat down and said, “Maj. Richard said that Valentine called him.”“What for?” Tim asked anxiously.“He said the foreigners were afraid to return to the hotel because they may be harassed.”“Ha! This is serious.”“Yes, Boss. He said they preferred to sleep on the floor of the mobile house.”“No. It has not come to that. What did you tell him?”“I advised him to ask him to take them to the Dome.”“The Dome? You would have talked to the manager of the hotel to accommodate them. It is just for the night.”“I thought as much but the trauma of their boss attempting to kill himself may demoralize them.”“It is all right.”“Concerning the Secretary, I think …?”“We will talk about it later,” Tim intervened and stopped him from going further.“I got it, Boss.”At The ClinicMichael swallowed hard and looked at Ambrose. Suddenly, the door opened and he was shocked. The drive to Rakaia relieved the foreigners and Valentine was happy. Meanwhile, he had sent a message to R
At The President's OfficeTim disagreed with George to sack her when he presented the matter to him the previous night and he did not argue with him. He was monitoring the progress of work at the steel mill when Capt. Abram walked in. After the salutations, he sat down and explained, “Mr. Kennedy wishes to order more precious stones. Do we have any available?”“That is a good one. I will find out from the supervisor.”“It is all right. I will give him the feedback before lunch.”“That is okay.” At RakaiaThe offer letters gave the workers a sense of belonging. Their satisfaction bled into their actions that morning because they arrived earlier than usual. They were waiting under the juniper tree as usual while Peter and his likes were planning how to attack them and ruin their joy. On Richard's arrangement, Valentine and his team arrived with two trucks. They looked at them in confusion but greeted them all the same, “Good morning, Supervisor. Good morning, driver.” “Good morning
Laura hit her head on the sharp edge of the wooden cubicle and had a cut."Ouch!" She screamed and placed her hand on the spot to stop the blood from staining her dress.Barbara ignored her and shifted away from her. Meanwhile, the General Manager had forgotten that she existed and did not look at her direction while George was interested in his destination.SaturdayAfter Mark assured Tim that the Palace was almost ready, he resolved to visit Mount Olive. The old man indicated interest in the outing but George tactfully stopped him."Dad, it is like you are not satisfied with the services of your dietician anymore."He shuddered instantly and wondered if he had done anything to put Ella in a precarious situation."I am. Is there any problem?""I wonder why you don't want to see her today.""Did I say that I don't want to see her?""You just said that you want to go out with us. It means you don't wish to see her. If you don't wish to continue with her, I can change her.""It is not w
At Mount Olive"This place is fine," Gerald complimented the town and woke Samuel up.He looked out and asked with a sleepy voice, "Are we at Mount Olive?""Yes," Gerald answered."Do you like the town?" Tim asked."Yes, Brother-in-law," he answered, and shortly they were at the palace."Wow!" George exclaimed when he saw the beautiful edifice.Tim was thrilled as well but he only smiled. Richard was awestruck because he had not seen the picture before."This is a masterpiece," he said and got out of the car.Tim and the boys got out of the car, but George developed cold feet when he recalled the state of the compound. He looked at the once bushy courtyard that was decked with beautiful exterior tiles."This looks like a palace," Gerald pointed out."It is a palace," Richard informed him."I guessed right, then," he replied with glee.Meanwhile, Tim noticed that George was still in the car and called his attention, "Why are you still here?"He smiled weakly, opened the door, walked up
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 Raino Airport The team landed after seven hours. They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once. The reporters were disappointed. They thought they would walk to the lobby and grant them an interview. Since they did not, they ran after them. When they caught up with him, they began their interview, "Welcome to Rai
At The Canterbury Defense Academy The cadets were in the mess room having their breakfast when they were watching the broadcast. Gerald and Samuel became cold at once but concealed it. Although they were still with their phones, they could not call Tim or George for fear of being reprimanded for disturbing them. Gerald ate his food as though he was not disturbed. Afterward, he walked to Samuel's section and met him staring at his food and lost in thought. Despite that, he would do nothing; his presence could assuage his anxieties. "Eat your food," he encouraged him.Samuel was startled by his voice and looked up. He smiled dryly when he saw him and said, "Okay."He watched him as he finished his food and got up.Now, everyone was out of the mess room and walking to their classrooms. It was time to speak on the broadcast."Maj. Young would have separated his head from his neck. Foolish man.""I don't know why they hate us.""What was the driver's offense?""I wish I knew. He wished t
At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow! He has spoken with his parents-in-law. That is good," he pointed out.He vacillated over calling Tim to find out his whereabouts."He may be too busy, and I don't want to disturb him," he said, got up, and headed to his room.After changing his clothes, he laid on the bed for a nap. He woke up a few minutes before 6 PM and concluded that he was back. He was about to leave his room when he got a call from him. He picked it up anxiously and greet
"Yes, Mom and Dad. We indicated our interest to get married today.""Wow! I thought you would never marry, Ella," her mother teased her.She laughed softly and responded, "It is not so, Mom. I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?" Her mother asked her curiously."Is the man handsome?" Her father asked her jokingly and she laughed aloud."I can't wait to see the man who is worthy of your love," her mother added."We shall see. Speak with my husband," she said."Are you with him?" Her mother anxiously asked her."Yes, Mom. He heard everything you said about him."Before her mother could react, she handed the phone over to the old man. He looked at her happy face before he spoke."Good day, Mother-in-law. I am pleased to speak with you."'So it is true?' she mumbled before she greeted him, "Good day, my in-law. I'm happy to hear from you. How are you?""I'm good. And you?""We a
At The Christchurch DomeVincent was only following them like a sheep being led to the slaughter. Left for him, he would love to be with his family. When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing. When he did not, he opened the door for him and said, "Come out."He obeyed and he shut the door. He led him to the foyer while Tim called the Second in Command.When he picked up the call, he greeted him, "Good evening, Tim. What's up.""Good evening, Your Excellency. Are you still in the office?""No.""It is okay. I took the driver away from the hospital. Dr. Morgan was responsible for the mix-up.""Oh, my God! Where are you?""I'm at the Dome. He is safer here.""Wait for me. I'm still around.""It's all right," he said and the call ended.He got out of the car and joined the two in the foyer. Incidentally, Vincent's phone rang, and he tried to pick up the call."For now, no calls until we
Nevertheless, the media crew parked in front of the hospital and waited for instructions from the Minister."I will let you know what to do," he informed them."We got it, Boss," they answered him simultaneously.The three of them followed Tim who was leading the way. At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha
A broad smile flickered across his lips and he mumbled, "That little boy of yesterday is now taking care of his father. I can't believe it."He looked at Ella, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and his eyes were wet with tears of joy.Thereupon, he began to count his blessings, "The Lord has rewarded me according to my heart's desires because He has seen the cleanness of my hands. Wonderful son and a caring wife. My Dukedom has been upgraded and restored. Above all, the Young man is there for me. What else will I ask from God?"Afterward, he sent a message to Tim and informed him of the allocation. He tossed his phone aside and bent to kiss Ella's temple. Suddenly, his phone rang and woke Ella from sleep."Who is this?" He asked himself and picked up his phone."Mr. Watson," he said and looked at Ella who was waiting to know the caller."The car dealer," he explained and picked up the call."Hello, Mr. Watson.""Good day, Your Grace. We are close to your palace," he informed him."
Meanwhile, George was bitter that he addressed him wrongly and would not allow him to go without being reprimanded. He smiled dryly and answered him, "Not immediately, Gen. Anderson. I will do that after I get justice for the taxi driver you wished to strangle to death."Before that time, he was not aware that he was discovered. Subsequently, he was distressed and wished to die. Just like in a movie scene, he began to faint, but Valentine, who was about to lock the tailgate, grabbed him. Cpl. Barton and Jerry noticed it, walked to him, and helped to steady him."You can't die now," George snarled and gave him a hate look before they walked him to his cell. Richard followed him and unlocked the cuffs and got them back for Tim. He did the same thing for the other suspects and joined the General Manager and George."This is unbelievable," the General Manager pointed out."Just imagine that. Who would suspect that he was hiding there?" Richard responded."See you later," Richard said an
To avoid more questions, he got up and requested for lunch."Kindly find out if Francis is through with the lunch.""Oh! You are famished," she said and walked away."George must have done this," he told himself.Suddenly, his phone beeped with a message and he was distracted. He looked at the sender and his face beamed with delight."Wow! The allocation," he stated joyously. Shortly after, Ella walked into the room and informed him that lunch was ready.At The Second in Command's Office While Richard and Valentine were sitting in the Hilux, Tim got into the clunker and informed him via a text that they should leave for the complex at once while he went to see the Second in Command. He acknowledged it and informed Valentine, "We are going to the complex.""I got it, Major," he said and drove off.Tim informed George to expect them before he drove behind them. He arrived at Kay's office with a sad demeanor and he prepared himself for the worst. He saluted him hurriedly and he cut th
