❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ King Rehoboth walked gently into the inner chamber. He could see his cabinet of chiefs. They were all dressed in white attire. King Rehoboth wasn’t left out, he was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a pair of white trousers and a pair of white shoes. It was that part of the year when California celebrated her victory over Greece. For the past three years, the festival has been celebrated inside the king’s inner chamber. Last year, the king invited dignitaries and men of high calibers from different parts of the world. Some of these dignitaries were the president of Nigeria, the president of China, some governors and other kings. The festival had started at exactly 8 am, American time. The inner chamber was filled with people dressed in white attire. Cooper headed different sessions of the event until the event was brought to a hold at noon. Everyone returned home after they had dined in the inner chamber. Ever since the advent of
COMPANY VISITING DAY
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Since it was a Friday, Alfred and Sarah got to their destination on time. Fridays were not counted as working days in California and the USA at large. So many people stayed at home. The main users of the road on Fridays and weekends were pedestrians. There were also cab drivers who conveyed students to school. Alfred sighed before he alighted from the vehicle. Sarah, on the other hand, had alighted from the vehicle about two minutes ago. She was dazzled by the beautiful and the serene environment of the school.“What are you thinking, Sarah?” Alfred tapped her on the back.“I was only carried away by the beauty of this place.”“But you’ve come here several times. You’ve come here more than three times if I am not mistaking.”“That’s true.” “Look at those women.” Sarah gestured.“It’s visiting day, so I don’t hope to see less than a thousand parents in this place. It’s not easy to keep one’s children in a boarding school.” Alfred said,
COMPANY FEVER
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Alfred was reading newspapers when Magdalene walked in. She was holding an envelope. She had gone to the hospital in the morning. Before she went to the hospital, she had prepared breakfast and tidied up the clutter. Alfred was so engrossed in the newspapers that he never knew Magdalene was standing right in front of him. Magdalene tapped Alfred gently on the back. It was then that Alfred realized that Magdalene was standing close to him.“Darling, you are back.” Alfred dropped the newspapers on the floor. He watched Magdalene as she sat down beside him.“When will you stop reading newspapers? You couldn’t even notice my presence. That is how a burglary will occur in your very eyes and you wouldn’t know, all because you are reading a newspaper.” Magdalene frowned. Alfred couldn’t hold the laughter. He laughed and laughed. He finally halted and said, “You know it’s not possible. You don’t have to blame me. Besides, I am getting informati
COMPANY GINO AND GINA
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was so eager to go home. He has been away from home for the past seven months. He had called Alfred one fateful morning and told him that he had finished his examination. Alfred had promised to come and pick him up next week. Davies stuck his bag to his back. He clutched his luggage. He greeted Gino and Gina before he left the hostel. Gino and Gina were identical twins, so it was difficult for people to differentiate them. They were international students from China. Actually, they weren’t citizens of China. They were citizens of America by birth. They had relocated with their parents to China in search of greener pastures. Many people never believed that they were Americans because they spoke the Chinese language most of the time. The few people close to them could easily identify them as Americans because of the color of their skin and hair. Davies was very angry when the housemaster introduced Gino and Gina as his roommat
COMPANY CHRISTMAS
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies had restrained from negative thoughts that day. He was resting his back on the couch when he heard a knock on the door. He wasn’t expecting any other people apart from Magdalene and Alfred, who had left for the hospital in the morning. He gathered a ray of hope that Magdalene and Alfred had returned home. To his greatest surprise, it was Liam. He grimaced, closed the door and they walked in the direction of the settees. Davies asked Liam what he would like to take, but Liam refused. Liam told Davies that he wasn’t famished. Davies pleaded with Liam to take cold water and Liam acceded to that wholeheartedly. Davies stood up from the settee and returned, holding a mug. He handed over the mug to Liam. Liam thanked him and emptied the mug before the twinkle of an eye. Davies knew the kind of friend he had. He knew Liam didn’t like to be disturbed when drinking water. So when Liam had finished drinking the water, he said, “Do
COMPANY LIAM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The moon was already out. The streets were lighted by the streetlights. The streetlights were used to see in night in California. The lights were charged via the energy from the sun in the day and when the night came, they illuminated everywhere. The lights were so bright that even when a pin fell down, it could easily be picked up. Despite the streetlights, there were still some nooks and crannies in California that experienced darkness because the streetlights couldn’t reach there. King Rehoboth dialogued with the citizens several times. He would tell them that he would create more streetlights for the state. The citizens would leave his palace happily. Yet, King Rehoboth hasn’t been able to create any streetlights. Rehoboth wasn’t a stingy man. He could give anything except his wives. He grew to love his wives. The major problem King Rehoboth had was financial problems. He did not have enough money to carry out such a project.“The proje
COMPANY BACK TO SCHOOL
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was Sunday evening. Magdalene was sitting inside the sitting room, she was looking sad and inactive because Alfred and Davies hadn’t returned home. Different thoughts were running through her mind. She had left home for Sarah’s house in the morning. She told Sarah about her ordeal. Sarah was so shocked. She told Magdalene that Alfred and Davies had left for home the previous night. Magdalene became more worried. She had returned home and refused to eat. Edwin walked into the sitting room and met Magdalene. Edwin sat beside Magdalene and said, “Mum, you can’t continue like this. You taught me to pray in every situation, but here you are thinking. You don’t have to cause more havoc.”“I couldn’t take it anymore. I have tried Alfred’s and Davies’ phone numbers several times, but they weren’t going through. I hope nothing happens to them,” Magdalene said and couldn’t hold her tears. Edwin couldn’t control himself, he began to cry
COMPANY STRANGE CALLS
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ When Magdalene got home, she changed her clothes and sat down on one of the couches. She had branched to the mall to buy popcorn and groundnuts as soon as she left Edwin’s school. She took out the popcorn and the groundnut from the bag and started consuming them. After she consumed everything, she became bored. She turned on the television and started gazing at the actions displayed on the television screen. It was an episodic film. Magdalene had watched the first and the second episodes of the film. The actions of the film hadn’t reached the climax, so she had hoped to watch the third episode of the film one day. She visited the cassette store two days ago. She had gone to buy an interesting film when she saw the third episode of the film she had been longing to watch. Without any hesitation, she picked up the cassette and paid for it. It cost 15 USD. It was worth it because it was an interesting film. At exactly 9:13 am, Magdalene’s s
