Lily stepped into the office with a judgmental look on her face as he stared at the duo. She was disappointed in Emily for she thought that she was very prudent and decent. It was obvious now that she was like other women who were easily swayed by sweet words from men and it annoyed her greatly. "Let me see you, Emily." Emily hated the condescending tone with which she was spoken to but decided to ignore her. " I don't think you should just barge into my office." Lily folded her arms and gazed at Todd who was also staring at her with the same look of anger on his face and she burst into laughter. These people were jokers. She had never seen anything like this in her life. How would someone be so stupid enough to allow a man to deceive them to feel as though they were on top of the world and whatnot?"I'm sure you know that you can't say this to the boss and I'm representing the boss." "Of course, we do and we have no choice about but it doesn't make it right. You walk about with y
Dominic read under the dim light at midnight while glancing at Selena at intervals to see how she fared. She was busy typing on her laptop since there was no problem with the network provider. "Have you seen the message that the company sent to us again? I think that someone we know is behind it. They got our secret codes and sent them to the agent who in turn makes them seem genuine." Selena began."Who did you give access to the company's details?" "I don't know, I didn't give it to anyone. I just gave Emily the codes two days ago." She replied. Dominic whipped around as though he had been bitten by a rattlesnake. His gaze strolled over her face in disbelief as he tried to calm down and hear the full brief. "You did what?" Selena, like a student before the principal, rose immediately and folded her arms across each other. "I did when we were coming on this trip." She explained.He stared at her as though she was speaking French. " This is ridiculous. How come I was not informed?
Before dawn, Dominic had made his way down the block. He didn't want Selena to be aware of the investigation he was conducting hence the reason for the secrecy. He went to the next building opposite him and finally rested against the door. His eyes were a bit tired from exhaustion after the lack of sleep the previous night Pulling out his phone from his pocket, he called his friend. He should be free by now since it was the only time that they were allowed to sleep."Hello, Martel." He spoke.Martel was taken aback by the audacity of the person who called him by his name. This person had to know him deeply to be able to call him by a name that he had forgotten to use." Who am I speaking with?" Dominic chuckled, " Relax, it's me, Dominic. I know that you might already be panicking. I don't see any reason why though." He replied.Martel chuckled, "Well, one has to be very vigilant. You know my real name, I need to be scared. When you call, I know it's something urgent. What happened
Dominic felt a kick in his guts to check out the environment. It was still midnight and no one was outside yet. He stared at the soldiers quarters and saw that there was no light coming out from that place. This was a recipe for disaster. No one needed to tell him that. He quickly jogged to the trailer and locked it from without. He was just to go there and return as soon as possible.These soldiers were a bit careless. How were they supposed to oversee the city when they were physically present?He removed his gun from his pocket slowly and he saw that there was a need for him to check out the back of the cantonment.Now there was something that oppositions should realize about him. He was not someone who was predictable.If they thought that he'd step into the middle of the gate so that they could strike, they were up for a big joke and it was very laughable that they'd want to try him. As he continued, he heard a little snap and he rolled against the floor crawling slowly. The pe
The man fell to the ground and Dominic held him up. "Who sent you?" He asked in a deathly calm voice that would make any sensible person know that something was going on here.The man tried to wiggle his way out of Dominic's grip because he knew what happened to him. He was doomed while thinking that he was still alive. "I hate to repeat myself. If you know that you don't have something to say, may I send you to a place where you'd say more than what's expected of you." He said and the man gulped.His gaze was unsettling. How the hell did the General know where he was in this thick darkness? "I asked a question. I'm expecting an answer." Dominic asked again. There was a reason he was better than many Generals. He allowed his captives to express themselves. Then after seeing that they had nothing to offer he threw them out and sent them to where they belonged. "I was sent by a man. I have never seen him before in my life. I swear! He contacted me via messenger and told me about a co
Dominic finally went out of the trailer because in as much as she meant well for him, he knew that it would do him no good. It wasn't his choice to be always busy but since he found himself in such a situation, he had no choice but to make sure that he found a way to always be on top of his situation.All the soldiers gathered amid the city and he decided to address them. "You all know the attacks that we've faced in the past few days. I hope that nobody is trying to make a gimmick out of any of us because it would end up disastrous on both ends." He began.The men stared at each other wondering what was happening. "An intruder broke into Victoria yesterday and no one could detect him, save my wife and I. What does that say about Victoria? We are weak and defenseless." He responded to his question."You were busy sleeping while on duty and making love with your wives. Is that what I asked you to do?" He inquired and they shook their heads. "Good, now you can see that you've been not
Selena's jaw dropped at the news. This was preposterous! She thought and decided that she had to reach him at all means. It was almost as though she was dreaming.This would make her come out of the trailer and also expose her to the prying eyes. She ignored all of that and navigated her way to the middle of the city where we had seen them stand. Surely, someone was going to answer her well. Why was everywhere silent? She pondered as she trod towards the podium she had seen him standing.A man stared at her from his trailer wondering what the General's wife was doing outside without anyone in sight."Good afternoon, ma'am. Are you looking for someone?" He spoke, causing her to jump.Selena placed a hand on her chest trying to calm her racing heart. She didn't need such shock at the moment. "I'm sorry for scaring you." The man apologized and she nodded, waiting for her heart to start beating normally. Alas, she was disappointed. Her heart still continued racing as though it was on wh
They were startled by her response. " Why are you mute? Weren't you just blabbing a few minutes ago? Then why the sudden delay in speech? I thought you were ready to say anything and everything." Eleanor asked them and they were startled.It was nothing serious, they were just making a joke and some people defended her. "I don't know what you want to achieve but I will teach you all a lesson that you'd never forget in your lives, next time when you hear about me anywhere you'd be afraid." One of the ladies became annoyed at the nonsense that they were doing. "What are you saying? We've not done anything to warrant insults from you at all because I can't recollect us talking about you in a bad light." She replied harshly. "Don't say a word," Her people told her but she was not even in the mood to hear anything that she was about to say.Eleanor was a well respected member of the army but if she continued this way she might soon lose her respect sooner than later. " I don't know what
