“Don't take it too far, Mrs. Suresh. I thought we were family, and you should let me know that she is leaving for school.”She walked to the vacant chair and sat down before she agreed, “You are right for thinking that way. We are supposed to let you know.”“It is all right. Where is the school if I may ask?”Now, Ann was through with the other person and joined them. She sat beside her mother and answered, “Belgium.”“Yes. University of Ghent,” her mother concurred.Instantly, he had some butterflies in his stomach but concealed it. The distance by flight to Belgium from Christchurch was 6 hours and he considered it too far away.“Why are you going to Belgium when they have a campus in Birmingham?”“That is the campus I was posted to.”“Maybe it is because she applied late,” her mother chipped in.Nevertheless, he composed himself and complimented her, “Congratulations.”“Thank you, Supervisor, for your understanding.”“You are welcome,” he said and ordered his food.While eating, he

At The General Manager's Office“Hey! You always come when he is not on his seat,” Stephanie announced excitedly when he walked in.“Really?” He asked with a happy demeanor.“Yes. Good morning,” she answered.“Good morning, Secretary. I can wait for him.”“It is all right. Kindly sit down,” she said and ushered him to a seat.“Thank you, for the offer,” he said and sat down.“What of the clerk?” He looked at his empty table and asked.She looked towards the pantry and saw him walking back to his desk.“Are you through?” Stephanie asked him.“Yes, Secretary,” he answered and sat down. He faced Tim and greeted him cheerfully, “Good morning, Sir.”“Good morning, Clerk. How are you?”“I'm fine, Sir. Did you travel?” He asked with concern.Tim was surprised to hear him and answered all the same, “No. I did not. Why did you ask?”“Secretary said you traveled, and I said no, you could be busy.”Stephanie laughed and said, “You have won. He did not travel.”The clerk laughed happily and Tim l

At Laura's House They were silent throughout their journey back. They got into the house that she likened to a dog house a few minutes ago and sat down. Her anguish increased when she compared it with the houses in the estate.Nevertheless, Pa Dickson wished that it could be a dream and he would soon wake up to reality.“I thought the birthday boy gave him a job? Why is he with the government?” Laura asked after she found her bearings.To her despondency, her parents were lost in their different thoughts that they did not hear her. After a long silence, her father drew a long breath and said, “This is strange. No wonder he has a handset.”“Huh! Is that all you saw? Can't you see that he owns a car and a driver?”“A military car at that,” Laura chipped in.“That is true. I think he is the person in charge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a driver.”“You are right, Dad. But how did they trace our house? Who directed them?” “It baffles me. If only we knew that birthday celebrant, we woul

“Oh my God! You proposed that I should shift my birthday from Saturday to Monday. Now you have forgotten.”“Oh, my goodness! Pardon my forgetfulness, Your Majesty. Happy birthday in advance.”“Thank you for your wishes. But promise me that you will be around on Monday.”“A slave has no time of his own and cannot make promises with it. I will be around if my boss permits me.”“Oh! I remember.”“Goodbye for now.”“Bye,” they said simultaneously.He walked into the elevator and sent a message to George.(We can continue the speech writing at home. I'm starving).The message confused George because he could not say why he just arrived and started complaining of hunger. All the same, he replied, (I got it.)At Smirnoff's Office Everything was going smoothly and the preparations for the celebration were on top gear. Although he was not shortlisted for promotion he had his pound of flesh. Throwing the Head of State and the nation into turbulence made his day.“At least he was restless for s

The old man was beautifully dressed for the celebration, and people like Ella would not recognize him because he looked younger and healthier.He got up and they walked to the podium while the audience looked on in awe. The Head of State smiled and said, “Welcome to the podium again Mr. Young.”“Thank you, Your Excellency,” he looked into his eyes and said.George furrowed his brow and looked on in wonderment while the Head of State continued, “Canterbury wished to recognize you for a specific deed. In less than a year, the brave son you gave to us has served Canterbury gallantly. Through him, we conquered nations. He administered justice where necessary. We can also say that he shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword. His youth, which would have been his weakness, was turned to strength. He became powerful in battle and destroyed foreign armies and enemies.”He stopped when the clapping ovation was louder than his Mic. Therefore,
