Tim cut the call and Richard laughed.“You are in trouble, Richard,” he teased him.“I hope he won't bore me with calls,” Richard pointed out. “He won't if he gets a job and becomes busy.”“Okay, Boss,” he responded and tried to get up.His phone rang and he looked at the caller. He smiled broadly and stated, “He is calling again.”“Let me speak with him.”“But you have not talked to me on his behalf,” Richard teased before handing the phone to him and they laughed mildly.Tim picked up the call and Mark requested, “I apologize for bothering you, Major. Kindly give …"“You are talking to the driver,” Tim interrupted him and stated.“Okay. Have you spoken with him on my behalf? What did he say?” He asked desperately.“Yes, I have. He …"He excitedly interrupted Tim and praised him, “Thank you for that. If I may ask, what did he say?”“He asked you to take your resume to the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC tomorrow.”“Huh, will I be able to access the company? The security will no
“That is the question. We concluded that she was under when she wrote the exam because she was battling with her miscarriage and divorce issues.” “So, what do want?” George asked without emotions. “If you permit us, we could alter her result so that she could score at least forty-five percent …”“No, Capt. Jaja. Publish the results as they are. If the management wishes to consider her, it would be on compassionate grounds. That's my opinion.”“Your opinion is right.”“If you think so. But let's seek the opinions of the other managers.”“I will do that.”“It is okay. Meet with them quickly and let me know their opinions.”“Okay.”He watched him leave and mumbled, “So, she was married and divorced? She wants me dead because of her predicaments. We shall see.”At Tim's HouseHe had been monitoring George and was happy with his work. He was thrilled to hear that Laura failed woefully and logged out.“This has made my day,” he said and got up to stretch his legs.Meanwhile, he was aware t
While in the toilet, Laura started to cry in pain until there was no energy left in her. Apart from the pain in her heart, her stomach was upset and she had to empty her rectum. To her chagrin, the sound from her anus was so loud. “Hey!” She exclaimed and feared that it could be heard by Gilbert and the visitor.Although, they did not hear the sound the stench was too strong and it filled the office. Gilbert searched the visitor's countenance and noticed that he was uncomfortable. Without words, he got up and began to open the windows.“This girl will not kill us,” he murmured.At last, she pulled herself together and got out of the toilet with an inquisitive look. She did not need a prophet to tell her that she polluted the air when she saw the disconcerted look on Mark's face while Gilbert was spraying the office with an air freshener.She swallowed hard and walked back to her seat. When she thought that she could cope with the embarrassment, the Personnel and Maintenance Managers
At The Auxiliary Armory PLCAfter the Captains left, George walked to the Sales Manager's office to ensure that they were through with the sales. “How did it go, Captain?”“It went well. We are expecting the confirmation of the deliveries from them.”“It is all right. Please notify me after you confirm with them. We need to broadcast the sales to attract more buyers.”“I got it, Sgt Young.”Before lunch, he collected the documents for the change of signatories from the Accountant and the offer letter and left.At The CanteenIt was a celebration galore for the staff members who scaled through the Aptitude Test. They did not mind the presence of the Captains as they talked loudly about their success.“Congratulations, Stephanie.”“Congratulations to us, Mary. The questions are cheap and I don't expect that anyone would fail,” Stephanie pointed out probably because she did not observe from the result sheet that Laura failed woefully.Nevertheless, the written application was part of th
Tim parked across the street and began to wait.“What is my offense? When has using an old car become an offense in Canterbury?” he mumbled.While waiting for George, he called Gen. McDonald and informed him that he would be with him soon and he agreed. Nevertheless, he recalled that Laura had not called him and called the General back.“Hello, Gen. Williams. Did you forget anything?” Gen. McDonald asked.“Yes. Did you give the secretary my contact?”“Yes. I did.”“It's all right. See you later.”“Okay.”Nevertheless, after about thirty minutes, he saw George and a man in a corporate outfit walking happily out of the bank. The man showed worries when he tried to cross to the other side of the road.“Where did you park your car?” He asked curiously.“Across the street.”“Oh! Why, if I may ask?”“The security guard asked me to park there,” George reported innocently.The Manager gave the Head of the security guards a hateful look and wondered why he should ask such a high-profile custom
At Laura's HouseIf crying could change anything, she had cried enough to retain her job.“Mom and Dad, everyone did well except me. That wicked Tim had put me into trouble,” she wailed.“Don't mention that unfortunate man here. Remembering him is nauseating,” her father blurted out.“Forget about him. He got what he deserved. I'm happy that you suffered a miscarriage and no child of his will remind us of him,” her mother added.“Your mother is right. He will not be remembered because of the evil he did to you.”Laura was aware of her lies against him but she was not remorseful and lied, “I would have scaled through the Aptitude Test if not for him.”“You are right. I advise that you look for another job since this has failed,” her father advised her.“It means we will leave this house. It is theirs,” she made clear.Her parents' countenance changed at once. They just realized that Tim's application got their daughter her job and the accommodation.“Oh, my God. Was he responsible for
The Personnel Manager got to the secretary's office and met her sitting hopelessly.“Good morning, Capt. Jaja,” she greeted him.He scanned her countenance before he responded, “Good morning, Secretary.”Afterward, he returned to his office.After a while, she got an email from Capt. Jaja and she read it at once. She had hoped for a dismissal but the redeployment to the lobby as an Assistant Front Desk Officer was not the best for her either. She bent down and allowed her tears to flow freely. Gilbert had learned to mind his business. The last time he showed concern over her swollen head, she answered him curtly and he was not happy with it.“This is Stephanie's wish. To take over as the President's secretary,” she murmured.Notwithstanding her state of mind, Capt. Jaja walked in with Bright who was smiling from ear to ear.“Good morning,” he greeted Laura and Gilbert warmly. “Good morning, Sir,” Gilbert responded, and before Laura could look up, Capt. Jaja opened the President's
Capt. Bruce informed them of his reason for the meeting and they were shocked to hear that. In such a big organization where the workers are willing to do anything to win the favor of the Superiors, backstabbing is inevitable.Meanwhile, the driver whose vehicle was used, Reuben Corliss spoke up.“Excuse me, Capt. Bruce. I noticed that my bus was used. And …"“Why didn't you inform me?” He interrupted him and asked.“Can you imagine that?”“So, he is the one?”“He must have been doing it.”“This is certainly not the first time.”Reuben was shocked to hear the unpleasant remarks by his colleagues. He looked at their faces and concluded that he had been amid foes.“I didn't inform you because I thought you used it,” he explained and it was not funny.“Are you accusing me of using the company's vehicles?” Capt. Bruce asked him, and the other drivers aided his claim.“I apologize Capt. Bruce but that is not what I mean,” Reuben apologized but the Captain was angry.Nevertheless, some driv
At Vincent's House With the appreciation broadcast from Vincent's family, Therry, Natasha's boyfriend was threatened the more. His marriage with her was to come up in a couple of weeks, and he would not go through the scandal of being dumped. "I will send him back to the land of the dead where he belonged," he resolved.He had been waiting for when he would resume work so that he would strike. When his car arrived on Saturday, he was delighted but he did not work that day or on Sunday. Now, his intel informed him that he was alone at home and he decided to strike.Meanwhile, after Tim spoke with Michael, he informed the soldiers. They contacted him and promised to pick him up after lunch. He was having his lunch when a car stopped in front of his house and the driver honked.He concluded that the soldiers had arrived and said, "They came earlier."All the same, he walked to the gate and opened it for them. Although they were not with a military vehicle like the day they brought hi
At The President's Office So far, the deliberations were going on smoothly until it got to Laura's misconduct. Capt. Jaja poured out his heart, "She should be on her way out this moment.""Yes," they chorused while George and the GM watched them.Tim studied their faces and discovered that they were tired of Laura and keeping her against their wishes would not go down well with them. Besides, they would be angry with George who was tired of her as well. To arrest the situation, he sent a message to him.(Inform them that you will send her to work as an inventory officer at the steel mill site.)It was a big relief for him and he replied at once. (That is a good one, Boss. Thank you for this.)He looked up confidently and allowed the managers to speak out."Who knows who she would attack tomorrow?" Capt. Sawyer asked."It may be you," Capt. Bolton teased him."If she tries it, I won't just kill her but kill her ghost as well," he said angrily, and they burst into strident laughter."T
At The President's Office (I got it, Boss.) George replied.Afterward, he looked at the General Manager who was drafting the modalities for the Biannual General Meeting and informed him, "The front desk officer has not been served the query for coming to work late on Friday.""Yes. That was what brought the fight.""She must be served. I need her response before the meeting," George stated."Consider it done."Without delay, he contacted the Corporal through the intercom and he picked up the call at once."Good morning, General," he greeted him at once."It is the General Manager, Corporal. Pick the front desk officer from the lobby and take her to the gate. She should serve Miss Dickson the query.""Consider it done, Boss," he said and looked at Laura."I need her reply immediately.""I got it, Boss." At The Security Office After the call, he picked up the car keys and walked out of his office. "I will be late for work, Corporal," Laura informed him.He took no notice of her and
The driver wondered what was happening and was troubled as well. He honked at the gate man but he did not lift the bar for him. Rather, he walked to the bus and opened the door.He greeted them and informed Laura, "Miss Dickson, your attention is needed at the security office."Everyone, including the driver, turned and focused on her. She was disturbed and inquired at once, "What for?""Obey before complaining," some loud-mouthed passengers said and angered her.Despite her beautiful dress, urge to get George, and all that she was going through, she looked at one of the speakers angrily. She was about to hit one of them when the gateman shouted at her, "Hurry up and don't keep others waiting."She simply glared at the person and got out of the bus. The gateman shut the door and walked back to the bar while Laura walked into the office. He lifted the bar, and the bus driver drove in, followed by the other buses which queued behind.Nevertheless, George's team members were in the queue
At The Table Tennis CourtGeorge was full of joy and all over Tim like an over-pampered baby. Tim could feel it when they were having their lunch. At 4:40 PM, they left for the table tennis court. They saw the attendants arranging the place. Tim parked and called Kay."We are around, Your Excellency," he informed him after he picked up the call."It's all right. I am waiting for His Excellency," he responded, and his eyes widened in astonishment."It's okay," he said and ended the call.He looked at George and saw his shock."Are you scared?" He asked him."Ha! I thought we were playing with only the Second in Command.""I thought so as well. I never knew he informed the Head of State. Just be yourself. Okay?" He breathed freely and answered, "I will."Shortly after, the team arrived and parked accordingly. Tim and George got out of their vehicle and walked to them. George saluted them accordingly and they returned the salute while Tim looked on.'This is not what I planned,' he said
"I can hold it for you, Boss," Nathaniel volunteered to hold the gift he bought for George."Never mind," he said and got out of the car.He walked back to the foyer with great expectations. To his chagrin, he was not there. He swallowed hard and walked into the parlor.'He is still angry with me,' he said when he did not see him in the parlor."Take this to George," he ordered Nathaniel who was waiting for him to dismiss him."Okay, Boss," he said and collected the stuff.He walked to George's room while Tim headed to the kitchen. Sheldon, who was washing the dishes, paused and welcomed him."Has George eaten?" He asked him afterward.No, Boss.""Why?""He said he will let me know when he will eat," he explained."I see," he said and walked out.Nathaniel should have been out of George's room so that he could ask him questions about him. When he did not see him, he walked to his room.Nevertheless, when Nathaniel knocked on George's door, he thought that the knock was from Tim. He c
"I'm visiting the graveyard, Nathaniel," Tim informed the officer."I got it, Boss," he answered him."What kind of handgun do you have?""The hand cannon, Boss," he faced him and answered."It's okay, Boss," he said."Are you with the cleaning materials?" He asked him."We will hire from the workers," he answered him and drove on.Shortly after, he was at the gate of the cemetery. Meanwhile, Sheldon was confused about what to do about the breakfast. They had hardly eaten their food last night before the arguments that made them abandon it. He felt bad while trashing the food."Don't they like it?" He asked himself.After mulling over the incident, he shrugged and said, "I will prepare the breakfast all the same."Not quite long, George and his team members returned. The training gave him some relief but when he did not see Tim at the foyer, he felt bad. His feelings grew from bad to worse when he did not see his car."This is serious. So, he has gone to see her?" He asked himself an
At Tim's House After he rebuffed George and covered his duvet over his head, he felt good. He expected that he would knock on the door again but he did not. After waiting for a while, he perceived that he had returned to his room and was disappointed."I have angered him," he said and got up.He was disturbed and asked himself, "What do I do?" He picked up his phone to call him but changed his mind."He won't pick up the call. There is no need," he said to himself and dropped the idea.He turned on the television, just to keep him busy. The war film reminded him of Brig. Witherspoon and the threat from the South Coast. He pouted and picked up Gen. Hanklin's phone."Stupid country. They will learn their lesson the hard way," he said and swiped the phone.He saw a few new messages and tapped the older ones. He smiled when he saw Ambrose's suicide note to him. He was pleased to know that he had not spoken with him after he recovered."He has truly repented and loyal to Canterbury," he
Nevertheless, she succeeded in pulling her away from her father but she tried to resist her and continued to hit her husband. Suddenly, her husband pushed her and she landed on Laura."Ouch!" She screamed.At that point, Pa Dickson was favored. He got up quickly and descended on his wife. He punched her face several times while she kept shouting. Laura, who was under her, was in pain and shouting as well. "Get up from me, Mom," she shouted but her mother could not.Rather, her husband kept punching her face. When he was satisfied, he let go of her and cursed, "Stupid woman. I will teach a lesson that you will never forget."Laura pushed her mother aside and got up angrily."So, this is your plan? The two of you wished to kill me," she said, walked back to her room, and locked the door.Although Madeline was weak, she would not let her husband off the hook. As he was trying to sit back on the couch, she mustered energy. Like a wounded lion, she leaped up from the floor and swooped su
