Christopher was right about one thing, the rain wasn’t much but Mia was more than certain about the other, Samuel wouldn’t make it to the Christopher mansion that evening.Mia turned on her phone and set up a timer that would count down from that moment till the evening had finally passed.She shut her eyes for a while hoping to fall asleep when she suddenly began to feel a repetitive vibration.It was her phone.She was very reluctant to pick the call but at the same time, she knew that she had to.Rolling over to the other side of her bed, she reached for her bedside table and took the phone from the table.“Hello?” Mia froze as a deep male voice resounded from the other end of the phone.The evening went by very quickly and there were still no calls nor signs of Samuel.“I guess he wasn’t coming afterall” Christopher thought to himself as walked into the kitchen.Feeling a slight wave of defeat, he knew that Mia had already won this round and she was going to rub it in his face for

After their heartwarming conversation Christopher and Samuel discussed for a short while.Seeing how late it was, Samuel thanked Christopher once again and finally got up to leave The ChristopherResidence that night.“Thank you Mr. Christopher , I really appreciate this……..This means a lot to me”With a simple hand gesture, Christopher tried to calm down Samuel’s hidden excitement “Don’t mention Samuel, it’s fine”“You’re leaving already?”“Yes Mr, Christopher , I’ll have to be on my way now”“By this time?”Samuel turned his head to the left, looking at the grand modern pendulum clock that stood by a corner of the room.Christopher was right, it was already pretty late.Just about an hour and thirteen minutes to more for the clock to hit twelve in the midnight.“Stay the night, to avoid unfortunate stories that touch the heart”“Don’t worry Mr. Christopher , I can take care of myself…….I’ll be fine”Almost immediately, Christopher interrupted him “Samuel! I insist”“There is no guara

“Thank you!” Richard showed his appreciation to the waiter when he came back to their table with their complete orders.Christopher knew from the very start that the conversation between himself and Richard was going to be a very awkward one especially since they’ve had a long bad history together in the past.“It’s almost like I haven’t seen you since forever Christopher ……..It’s funny how fast time flies”“Yeah…” With a faint smile, Christopher nodded his head, Richard was right and he couldn't agree less.Christopher had a lot of questions on his mind about Richard but one thing he was overly curious about was what eventually happened to Richard after the incident that transpired at their final year prom night.He just couldn’t hold back the question he had harboured in his mind for a very long time as he thought of ways to ask Richard…... .What became of him after that very night.“I’m really sorry about what happened to you that night……”There was an awkward silence between the t

Christopher turned his head to the left and suddenly began walking back in the opposite direction of the building’s main exit.Something was wrong…….Or was it just his ears playing mind games with him?He slowly walked towards the direction of the arguing voices that he just couldn’t ignore while Mr. Kevin trailed behind him unaware of what exactly was going on in his boss's head.Kevin wanted to question Christopher further but he knew better than to indirectly raise an affliction against himself.After walking back up the stairs and into the halls, Christopher finally approached the room where the arguing voices were coming from.It was from the last office at the very end of the hall.Christopher began to walk down the hall in curiosity as Kevin quietly trailed behind him.The voices became much louder and clearer to Christopher with every step he took closer, this time even to Kevin.“You have no justification for that!........But please”“Rules are rules……..Please, I can explain

“Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher ”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher ! Christopher !”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher .Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to you.”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I ev
