COMPANY ON A SUNDAY MORNING
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was a bright Sunday morning. It was the ninth month of Magdalene’s pregnancy. She had tidied the sitting room before the cock crowed. She walked into the kitchen and started preparing her meal. All of a sudden, she hit her leg on a large cupboard. She screamed and fell on the floor. Alfred could hear her scream clearly from the sitting room. He had been sitting there and scrolling his mobile phone. He dropped the phone on the couch and rushed to the kitchen. When he got to the kitchen, he met Magdalene in an unconscious state. “OMG!” he screamed. He quickly got a bowlful of water from the table. He emptied the bowl on Magdalene’s body. Magdalene stretched out her legs and arms. She coughed and opened her eyes gently. Alfred was very happy to see his wife. He displayed his set of teeth and raised Magdalene from the floor. As soon as Magdalene stood up from the floor, water started dripping from her gown.“What happened, darling?” Alfr
COMPANY SAFE DELIVERY
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The day was very bright and everywhere was hot too. Alfred had received a phone call from the doctor that Magdalene had delivered a bouncy baby boy. The good news was worth it after the stress he had been through all through Magdalene’s pregnancy. As soon as Alfred picked up his car key from the table, he walked in the direction of the door. He was dressed in a polo and black trousers because of the heat. He quickly entered his car and drove the car away. All through the journey to the hospital, Alfred was thanking God for sustaining the lives of mother and child. He could remember vividly the cases of parents who lost their lives in the course of giving birth. Alfred’s wish had always been for Magdalene to give birth safely. That was the main reason he never allowed her to engage herself in a lot of stressful work. He had stood in the gap with Magdalene and did a lot of tedious work. It was quarter to 2pm when Alfred got to the hos
COMPANY ALLERGY FOR SNOW
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies stuck his school bag on his back. He clutched his luggage and walked out of the room. He had waken up very early in the morning, taken his bath and eaten his breakfast. He stuck the slices of bread inside his mouth quickly and drank his tea. When he got to the sitting room, he could see Alfred and Magdalene, clutching Edwin. He dropped his luggage beside the couch and sat down.“I guess you are set for your new school?” Alfred said.“Yes, dad. I couldn’t sleep all through the night. I am desperate to be in the creative writing school,” Davies said, and gazed at Magdalene who was breastfeeding Edwin.“I see. It’s a boarding school and I want you to behave like the disciplined child you’ve always been.”“Why would you doubt him, Alfred? He has always been a good child,” Magdalene said and raised her head.“I am not talking to you, darling. Davies, I hope you heard what I said?” Alfred said.“Yes, dad. I will miss everyone,” Davies
COMPANY FESTIVAL
❌ 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
