COMPANY SPEECHES
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “I am privileged to be standing today on this kind of occasion,” Cooper said and smiled, he then continued, “Permit me to acknowledge our veteran king, king Rehoboth, our prestigious queens and the cabinet. A round of applause for them!” The crowd clapped their hands and shouted jubilantly. “Enough, people. I also acknowledge the presence of our saviors. Please, celebrate them for me!” Cooper said and paused for the crowd to clap. When he was satisfied with the claps, he said, “Thank you very much for gracing this party. You are all sets of invitees. Now, permit me to welcome my king to give us his speech. A round of applause for him!” King Rehoboth stood up with a smile and sauntered towards the center of the inner chamber amid the shouts and claps. “It’s okay people!” King Rehoboth said after he had collected the microphone from Cooper. “I don’t want you to see me as the king this minute, see me as a part of you. I
COMPANY VOTE OF THANKS
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “It’s a privilege to stand before you all and give a speech. First of all, thank you for gracing this occasion,” Alfred said and gave out a smile. “As we all know, today is meant for celebration. So I don’t want anyone to feel intimidated. Drink when others are eating and drink when others are drinking. Besides, we have enough. Everyone needs to be grateful to King Rehoboth. He is a good king. A clapping ovation for him,” Alfred said, and waited for the crowd to clap. He then continued, “If the king didn’t support the idea, we wouldn’t have gone to the half moon. Also, I am grateful to my co-workers. I choose to call them co-workers. A clapping ovation for them.” Alfred waited for the crowd to clap their hands, he then continued, “I think we now have a rejuvenated country. We now have a place of refuge. I don’t want you all to see me and my co-workers as superiors. No, we aren’t. We are all ordinary citizens of California. With
COMPANY ANOTHER CHANCE
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Magdalene, you can’t continue to sob all day long. Willy is gone, so just cheer up and continue your life. Besides, you are yet to give birth to your first child. So there is a lot of hope for you,” Alfred said. “So I will be giving birth to a fatherless child. This is unbelievable!” Willy said and cried the more. “A fatherless child? No, you don’t have to think like this…,” Alfred said, and he was interrupted by the knocks emanating from the door. “Hold on! I am coming!” Alfred said. He stood up from the couch and walked towards the entryway. When he was closer to the entryway, he pulled the door and the door went open. “Good morning, sir!” Rufus said. “Morning, sir,” Alfred said and gazed at Rufus and Tristan’s faces simultaneously. “We are here to see Mrs. Magdalene. Is she around?” Tristan said. “Yeah. Do come in,” Alfred said with a gesture. “Thank you very much!” Tristan said, and they entered through the entryway. “M
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,
