"Ladies and gentlemen, we are not ready to begin the boarding process for flight 234 to Dubai. At this time, we would like to invite our first-class passengers to board the aircraft. If you are seated in first class, please make your way to Gate 12. We thank you for choosing to fly with us today and wish you a pleasant journey,” announced the airline gate agent.Mr. Thornton, upon hearing this, immediately rose from his seat, carried his bag, and began to walk down to Gate 12 as the announcement had instructed.In his hand were his valid passport, visa, health documentation, travel insurance, and credit card. Hence, he was wearing a long coat, well-tailored pants, and beneath the coat, a well-fitted suit.Perched on his nose were fine, transparent glasses, and atop his head was a hat, all of which signified him as a well-to-do man.Slowly, he walked and eventually climbed the stairs leading inside the plane and sat on the chair.He was very comfortable in this chair, such that it enab

In no time, Mr. Thornton found himself in Germany. Still dressed in the same style but in different colors, he related with the Influencer in Germany, but it also proved futile.He faced similar results in France, China, and South Africa.“We apologize for the inconvenience, but we only render exclusive service to the Great Sabbath Family and do not serve any competitors,” was the feedback he heard each and every time.Similarly, Mr. Thornton sought Julius's connections in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, South Africa, and Mexico, all within the span of one week.“We are sorry for the trouble of coming down here, but we only render exclusive service to the Great Sabbath Family. We do not serve any other competitors,” they all said one after another in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, South Africa, and Mexico.“Fuck!” he cursed loudly in a bar where he had gone to cool his head. Thinking about this alone was like a heart attack to him.“You do not seem happy today, Mr. Thornton,” the bartender

Just as Mr. Thornton saw this on TV, he didn't bat an eye before he quickly launched the CNN app and scrolled into the comment section. In this way, he began to read:“There are two things that affect a man’s journey. The first one is his excitement. A man is usually happy and will do anything you demand from him when he is exceedingly happy. One source of a man's happiness is his business. When a man’s business is doing great, he is sure to be a happy man. The second is his wife. If he marries a good wife who wants the best for him, then he'll surely be very happy.In contrast, there are two things that make a man sad, depressed, and frustrated, such as how Mr. Thornton was at the bar. This can happen when a man’s business goes south, and there is nothing he can do to save it. Or when he marries a bad wife who keeps making his life hard.”“I understand what you wrote, James, but here I want you to paint the picture as it is. Do not try to make Mr. Thornton the victim. He is not the v

Just as Mrs. Willer continued to talk on TV, Mr. Thornton began to remember all that he had done for her and wondered why she decided to testify against him.In this sense, he remembered the evening he was about to leave work and had already told his employees they could close for the day. Mrs. Willer was down the road with her heavy loads; she needed someone to help her lift a load heavier than a whole truck could carry to her apartment upstairs.When she sighted Mr. Thornton, even though he had just ordered some ladies to his office and was at the door, wanting to receive them, she called loudly, “Mr. Thornton!”Happily like a quokka, Mr. Thornton told his ladies to wait for him in the office and he walked to Mrs. Willer to help her with her loads.“Is this how you repay me, Mrs. Willer?” Mr. Thornton voiced aloud again amidst his thoughts. Hence, his thoughts continued.In this same way, he remembered the night he was leaving work early, while his employees were still at work, rend

The comments at this moment resembled a heated battle on a battlefield. The responses flowed rapidly, each one sharper and more indignant than the last. Certainly, what Julius said on TV had poked some nerves, and Mr. Thornton couldn’t help but begin to smirk. His smirk wasn't one of joy but of calculated satisfaction, knowing that the public tide was turning in his favor."How dare he toy with us? Didn’t he say he was going to expose Mr. Thornton?" one comment read, echoing the sentiment of many."So there’s nothing to expose about him? He just wanted to trend for nothing’s sake?" another user retorted, frustration evident in their tone."Rich people and how they get away with a lot of these things," someone else muttered, their cynicism dripping through the screen."Mr. Thornton better sue him for defamation," a particularly incensed commenter demanded."I think you guys should calm down," a more measured voice suggested. "He said we should wait and see. I think he’s onto something,
