At Tim's House

After the President of the Sparkling Diamond Exchange paid for the consignment, he was still troubled and called Tim back. He informed him that he was scared to be in Canterbury if Sgt. Young did not approve of the transaction. Tim tried to discourage him from every fear but he was not convinced.

At that point, George walked in to get the details of the activity at the field that day. He met Tim persuading someone over the phone and he sat down on the couch.

When Tim could not convince him to come over, he said to him, “I will get back to you in a short while.”

“It is all right,” the President said and cut the call.

Tim faced George and gave him the details of their movement of the consignment to the airport, how he got the details of the buyer up to when he sealed the deal.

“Wow! It must be a hectic day for you,” George pointed out.

“You are right but it is worth it.”

“Yes. You achieved a lot. Congratulations.”

“Thank you but there is a problem,” Tim stated.

    Mr. Kennedy looked at Tim before he faced George and responded, "Kindly appreciate Gerald for considering me. My opponent would have displaced me.""That is good to hear. My Manager will be here shortly with the receipt of your purchase.""It is okay," he said and they began to wait."What do you care for? Tea or coffee?""Coffee, please."George called Bright's attention and he arrived at once. He served the guest a cup of coffee and before he could walk out, Capt. Abram walked in while Tim and Richard excused them.Mr. Kennedy was so happy with the deal after he got the payment receipt.

    He left the parlor and walked back to his room. The thought of Ella's arrival warmed his heart and he began to watch the time in anticipation.A few minutes before her arrival, he walked to the garden and sat down. He looked at the flowers and noticed that he had not pruned them for some time and resolved to do that in the evening."Hello, Old Man," she greeted him joyously and he smiled lavishly."Welcome, Ella. How is work?""Work is fine. How is your day?""Fine. I will be busy with the flowers this evening. I will take my herbal soup after that. Will that be okay?"Ella looked at the flowers and agreed with him, "It is all right. But it will make you go to sleep earlier and we will not chat today.""Oh, my God.""Yes. You will not make me laugh before I go to sleep," she pointed out."It is just for today.""I can understand. You need to work or your boss will be offended.""Thank you for your understanding," he appreciated him and took the fruits alone.At The Head of State's Off

    "Be careful," he advised his workers who were assisting the furniture company workers to offload the furniture."It is all right, Captain," they answered in unison."They did not come for us, Mom. They came to furnish the house.""I thought as much. That means the occupant will move in very soon," her father stated."Hey! I hope the person won't mind our presence?" Her mother asked anxiously.Her question aroused fear in them and they were calm. They watched them until the truck was empty and the driver finally drove away. Capt. Sawyer joined the workers in the parlor and they sat down. They looked at each other in silence not knowing how to answer the question.At The Raino HeadquartersWhen Gen. Richmond made the broadcast and released the clips of Intimidation disclosing his sponsor, Gen. Anderson ate his words (It is good that they died without revealing my identity) instantly and the world shook. The Heads of State who were at the event were not surprised to know that the suicid

    The Next DayA home without a woman - mother, wife, or sister may be incomplete. In their case, the home was complete without the gender. They did not miss out on anything. Saturdays were for rest and fun and they cherished it. They were at the shooting range as usual but Tim trained with them while the old man watched them from the car.Samuel was happy to see Tim training with them and he recalled the day he tried to teach him how to defend himself. He laughed inwardly at his folly and continued training.When they were through, they returned to the house and had their breakfast. Afterward, they rested while Tim continued monitoring Ambrose's messages to Gen. Hanklin. At that point, he was distressed and more demanding. He listed all he needed to do with money and why he must reimburse him as he promised and pay him for his services."We are generous to consider employing you and your men. Just calm down and work so that you can earn genuinely," Tim said to himself after reading his

    “What kept you for long?” she asked him anxiously.“I was almost losing my mind,” she declared.The human slash werewolf was pleased to hear that, and he inquired instantly, “Did you miss me?” Meanwhile, she was desperate to know him, so without answering his question, she asked, “How do I trace you if I wish to?”The human slash werewolf looked into her eyes and saw a longing that thrilled him, and he was elated. Then, he inched closer, cupped her face, and asked again, “Did you miss me?”“Yes. I miss you. But how do I trace you whenever I miss you?” “I'm pleased to hear that you miss me. Does that mean that you have chosen a true lover for yourself instead of the politically arranged one?”“You know the answer to the question. Kindly stay with me, and don't leave me anymore.”“I will not stay with you.""Why?" The Princess asked fearfully."I would rather take you with me," he declared.The Princess was bewildered, and asked at once, “How will you do that? The palace is highly sec

    The rest handed theirs to him one after the other. Afterward, he faced the General Manager for the next instruction."Let us have the result, please.”“Okay, Captain,” he said and began to unfold the papers and displayed them one after the other while they watched him.At last, he revealed that three people voted for the citizens and six for Mr. Kennedy.“Unpatriotic citizens,” Capt. Graham blurted out and they laughed aloud.The third vote for the citizens vindicated George who was quiet during the argument. None of them could say whom he stood for. It would have been easier to dictate if the votes for the citizens were two and it would be obvious that only the Accountant and Capt. Bruce voted in favor of the citizens.“This is business and must be given a business approach,” George stated.“You are right, Sergeant. Besides, no citizens had indicated interest,” Capt. Trenton said.“And we can't go looking for them. A bird at hand ….”“Is worth two in the bush,” they interrupted Capt.

    “Excuse me, Your Excellency. How did your reconciliation meeting go?”He ignored him and joined the taxi driver who just stopped in front of him.At Raino Gen. Anderson had embarrassed his country enough and the citizens were not happy. Before he boarded the plane, he learned from the news that there was a coup in his country, and his Second in Command was the interim Head of State.“I expected that,” he mumbled. In the broadcast, all their borders were closed, and no one could travel in or out of Raino. He was disoriented when he heard that the flight he booked had been canceled.“Ha! What have I done to myself,” he murmured.Now, the passenger was disgruntled and blamed him for their predicament. “Look at what the Head of State has caused,” they grumbled.At that point, he needed to hide his face to avoid being lynched. Without security guards and pressmen, he was not significant, and it favored him. He sneaked out of the lobby and headed to the airport hotel as a commoner.At Th

    “It is a brief trip. I hope to be back tomorrow,” he explained.“It is okay. I wish you a safe trip,” Tim stated and he was pleased.“Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”He was relieved that he had crossed the hurdle. He thought that he would ask many questions but he did not. Likewise, he returned to work afterward. The day moved gradually and Tim continued to work in the vehicle while Richard and the chef continued to survey the place. After a while, he called the Second in Command.“Hello, Tim. How are you?”“Hello. Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I'm great,” he answered and updated him on Ambrose's proposed trip.The Second in Command smiled softly and advised him, “Permit him to fool himself.”“I got it, Your Excellency. One more thing.”“Yes.

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

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.

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.
