OLIVIA'S REJJECTION 104

Now, the aggrieved elders interrupted him.”We will not accept that cock-and-bull story.”“Please sit down, if you don’t have anything to say.”“You can give him your wife and daughters to abduct.”Some other family members said as they raised their voices. When Brown heard someone say ‘you can give him your wife and daughters to abduct’, he became ashamed of himself and quickly sat down, and the Patriarch took over.“Thank you all for your patience. I thought his Family Head would have started by apologizing to Oscar and his wife.”“Yes,” the house chorused in unison."That explains why Stephen did not have a proper upbringing. If a Family Head cannot think of an apology unless he is reminded, what do you expect from his family members?”Now, Brown, who was infuriated, walked to the last speaker and pointed at his nose.“I will not have you insult me or any members of my family. Watch your tongue.”Now, the Family Head that he touched his nose rose swiftly from his seat and pushed hi

“The woman I have in mind is a woman in our mist who had made this family proud. I am convinced that with someone like her by Stephen’s side, he will be stable…”Now, one of them interrupted him and requested, “With due respect, our Patriarch, can you stop dilly-dallying and tell us the female psychiatrist in our mist who is capable of marrying a mad man like Stephen?”His question erupted raucous laughter in the house. Denise, who had not said a word since the meeting, began to laugh too. Mr. Oscar and his wife laughed heartily before Gen. Bailey chuckled and continued.“All right. Moving forward, the woman I have in mind is Nichole, the widow of our late brother, Williams. She is a…”Now, all eyes were on Denise. Gen. Bailey, who knew that he had broached a delicate issue, avoided looking at Denise’s direction. But whether he looked at him or not did not matter because Denise must make him to look at him compulsorily as he interrupted him. Then, he lifted his right hand and without

“When did Nichole get married?”The other Family Heads attacked him at once and demanded, “Why did you not ask her son before he left?”Now, Zoey could not help but laugh. To defend himself and maintain his dignity, he explained, “I was about asking him, but before I looked up, he had gone.”“Coward. You knew nothing but to insult and push a fellow Family Head.”Brown blurted out, and the Family Head rushed at him, but he was restrained by other Family Heads. Then, the Patriarch ordered.“Go home, all of you. The meeting is over.”They began to file out one after the other, still barking and yelling at each other. Then, Oscar shouted, “Zoey, get into the vehicle and let us leave here.”Zoey glared at him and got into the car. She did not relent in rubbing it in his face.“Can you really shout at me, Oscar? You could not raise your voice when it was necessary.”Oscar, who was used to such berating, kept mute, he turned on the ignition of his car and drove off, ignoring her.At the Tou

After their breakfast, they prepared for work, and got off the house. Then, Lorene stopped him off, and drove off to the hospital. (Peck)“See you later, love.” Stephen said, and got off her car.“Bye. Love.”It was quite unfortunate. Stephen had devoted his love to Lorene, who possessed all the attributes he needed in a wife, but she was in love with Arthur and not Stephen Bailey. He mumbled before he boarded a chartered taxi, “This is good. With a wife like Lorene and her friend Evelyn, I will have a blissful marriage.”Then, he boarded the taxi and seated comfortably in the back seat. While he was approaching his house, he turned on his phone to transfer the payment for the ride, but an epiphany occurred when he saw the different breaking news popping up on his phone. He punched on one of the news and saw his resort as a heap of rubble. Then, he looked at it critically to confirm that his eyes were not misleading him. When he confirmed that it was his resort, he rested on the head

OLIVIA'S REJJECTION 108

At the BarracksThe daily drilling of the young soldiers which Gen. Bailey looked forward to every morning took place at 6 am and lasted for one hour. As a matter of routine, he was in his studies reading through the dailies after his breakfast when he got the mail from Barrister Guidance. He quickly read through and was timorous. “Has Stephen gone nuts? How many women does he want to have at the same time?” The nonagenarian Patriarch asked while cold sweat formed on his forehead. He went through the mail again and discovered another serious point.“Accusing Arthur of using Nichole as a nanny is an insult that her children would not take. No wonder Denise was distraught during the meeting.”Then, he got a call at that point, and he looked at his phone, and, he discovered that the caller was Brown, Stephen's family head. He took a second look at the caller and vacillated between picking the call and ignoring it. Then a message came in.(Good morning, our Patriarch. If you are not too

Under the present circumstances, Stephen’s head could not process the information he got at the same time. From the stranger’s speech, he grasped that he was aware of the issue at hand. Then, he looked at the two elders and inquired.“Oscar’s wife?”Stephen, whose purpose of visiting his Patriarch was to find a solution to the river of problems which was drowning him, had just discovered another problem.“I don’t have anything to do with Oscar’s wife. I ….”His explanation, which the Patriarch and the Family Head thought were lies, aggravated his already bad case. The Patriarch, who did not deem it necessary to offer him a seat yet, rose from his couch with his military demeanor and the might of the Patriarch of the Bailey’s family and thundered. “I will not hesitate to throw you out of the barracks after the soldiers have court marshalled you if you think you can dance on our intelligence.”Now, Stephen was aware that he had screwed up and making excuses would cause him more troubles

At the Gate.That day, Lorene and Evelyn worked with enthusiasm and eagerly waited for lunch. They were too busy that their paths never crossed after they spoke in the morning. Now, Zoey had resumed and is standing in for Nichole. With the assistance of the janitor, the work at Nichole’s office was not tedious for her. At noon, Lorene left for her surprise appointment with the man that would make her the first lady of the Bailey’s family, without informing her friend.‘He would be surprise to see me,’ she fantasied, and parked at the gate and honked with the confidence that she was not going to be turned back anymore. Then, the Security Officer who had seen many of her types since the previous week walked up to her by himself.“Good day, ma’am. How may I help you?”She smiled at the new face she was seeing, who looked more matured than the security guard who embarrassed her the previous week. “I wish to see the Chairman,” she hinted confidently. Now, the Security Officer observed h

Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental

“I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him

Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th
