You should be asleep by now,” Charles said as he walked towards the sitting room. “Welcome, dad,” Luca said after he had managed to take his gaze off the television screen. “Thank you, Luca,” Charles said. He sat down and Margaret sat close to him on the couch. “Peyton, can’t you see me?” Charles said with a low tune. Peyton glimpsed at the wall clock and said, “It’s 9:48 pm already and you just walked into this house.” “At least, you should ask where I am coming from,” Charles said with a smile. “Alright, where are you coming from?” Peyton said and fixed her gaze on Charles’ face. “One of our colleagues at my place of work gave birth to a set of twins after waiting for almost three years. So, the birth of the twins was commemorated with a night party today,” Charles said. “So, you are coming from a night party?” Peyton said. “Yeah, Peyton; I am
COMPANY FILM ADDICT
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Chapter one hundred It was exactly 10:30 pm, Charles cleaned his mouth with a handkerchief, he stood up from the chair, clutched the empty bowl and sauntered towards the entryway. When Charles got to the entryway, he used one hand to clutch the bowl and he used the other hand to pull the door. He exited the dining room and walked towards the kitchen. When Charles got to the kitchen, he placed the empty bowl on the table and walked out of the kitchen. When Charles got to the sitting room, he walked towards the refrigerator and opened it. He took out a bottle of chilled water and a mug and closed the refrigerator back. “It’s high time we went to bed,” Charles said as he walked towards the couches. “Just give us some minutes, dad,” Luca said with a glare. Charles stood beside the table, he opened the bottle and poured a little chilled water into the mug he was clutching. He covered the bot
COMPANY BURDEN
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “I want to leave now,” Professor MacPherson said and glimpsed at Ayla’s face. “Now, I will be left alone in this house,” Ayla said grimly. “I don’t understand why you’ve refused to go to Evelyn’s house so that they can keep you company,” professor MacPherson said. “It’s better I stay here and die of boredom,” Ayla said and gazed at a picture hanging on the wall. “Well, if you insist. I will make sure I come home on time so that I can keep you company,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad,” Ayla said. “Ensure you tidy up the clutter,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad; I will,” Ayla said. “I am off to my workplace now,” professor MacPherson said and stood up from the couch. “Have a nice day, dad,” Ayla said. “Have a nice day too, Ayla,” professor MacPherson said. He walked towards the table, clutched his briefcase and walked towards the entryway. Ayla sauntered towards the dining room, he c
COMPANY HAPPY FRIEND
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Willy parked his car under a tree, he clutched a brown polythene bag and alighted from the vehicle. He walked towards the entryway and knocked on the door twice. Magdalene, who had been resting on one of the couches, heard the knock coming from the door; she stood up from the couch and walked towards the entryway. “Welcome, lover boy,” Magdalene said as soon as she opened the door. “Thank you, Magdalene,” Willy said with a smile. He closed the door and held Magdalene’s right hand. “I guess you had a nice time at the plaza?” Magdalene said as the twosome sauntered towards the couches. “Yes, I did; but the stagflation is nothing to write home about,” Willy said. “We will surely come over it,” Magdalene said. Willy supported Magdalene to sit down and they both sat down on a couch. “I am shocked you came back from antenatal care on time today,” Willy said and gazed at Magdalene’s face. Magdalene smile
COMPANY SUMMARY
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “I think I have to drop you here…,” professor MacPherson said after he had driven the car for about 12 minutes. “It’s alright, professor MacPherson. At least, you will be able to meet up with the appointment,” Mason said. “You are right; I promise not to stay long,” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Mason’s face. “Alright, professor; we will be waiting for your return,” Mason said and clutched his briefcase. He opened the door and alighted from the car. Mason faced leftwards and started hiking home. Professor MacPherson wound up the glasses and started the car. He glimpsed at the dashboard, controlled the steering wheel and the car moved away gently. When Professor MacPherson got to the front of the uncompleted building, he gazed at his wristwatch and said, “It’s 5:12 pm already.” He removed his pair of eyeglasses from his briefcase, put on the eyeglasses and opened the door. With no he
COMPANY BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Well, will you manage 2, 000 USD?” professor MacPherson said and glimpsed at the gangsters’ faces simultaneously. “Wow!!” the gangsters chorused. “Thank you for keeping to your side of the deal, professor MacPherson,” Charles said. Professor MacPherson smiled and said, “I should have done more than that; you just have to accept the little I can offer.” “The little you could offer? It’s a whole sum. Once again, thank you,” Charles said. “You are welcome. I don’t have the money on me now; could you give me your bank account details, so that I can transfer the money to you via online banking?” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Charles’ face. “We don’t have pen and paper here; can I type it on your mobile phone?” Charles said. “Yeah…,” professor MacPherson said. He stuck his left hand into one of his pockets and took out his mobile phone. He switched on the mobile phone and waited for applications to appear on th
COMPANY STORYTELLER
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Oh, Evelyn; she was our backbone when you were away. She always brought food for us and made sure we lacked nothing. She’s a friend indeed,” professor MacPherson said. “I trust Evelyn. I will go and appreciate her for her gesture tomorrow morning,” Charlotte said. “We will go together. She deserves a jackpot,” professor MacPherson said. He stuck his hand into one of his pockets and took out his phone. Charlotte smiled and said, “Then, we need to give her one. How about Evelyn’s troublesome husband?” Professor MacPherson laughed and said, “Troublesome husband indeed. Well, Mason has turned a new leaf.” “Really? Tell me you are joking,” Charlotte said with curiosity. “Excuse me, I need to do something with my phone,” professor MacPherson said. He clutched his mobile phone and searched for the message application. He saw the message app and clicked on it. “I need to get a paper and a pen,” professor MacPherson
COMPANY FOODSTUFFS
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was a bright morning. Charlotte was the first to wake up from her sleep. “Thank you Jesus for a brand new day,” Charlotte muttered. She gazed at professor MacPherson who was slugging on the bed. “It’s just 6:01 am,” Charlotte muttered. She wore her pair of slippers and sauntered towards the entryway. “I don’t even see my toothbrush again,” Charlotte muttered when she got to the bathroom. She left the bathroom for the kitchen. “What can I cook? The professor needs to eat something before leaving this house,” Charlotte muttered, and gazed at the foodstuffs inside the kitchen. “I think spaghetti would do it. Come to think of it, the foodstuffs are just the same way I left them; I don’t think Ayla cooked when I was away,” Charlotte muttered. Charlotte kindled the fire and placed a pot on the stove. She poured water inside the pot and heard some footsteps.
