That question really hit me by surprise. At that moment, a call came in on John's phone and it was the manager of CELL, I felt a sigh of relief because I had no idea what I was going to tell John."Good day, john.” The Manage said on the interface. "Good day sir, is everything ok?” "Yes everything is fine, I called to ask how is your son doing, I know the surgery was a day before yesterday.” He said. "It was fine but my son still hasn’t woken up yet.” "Sir thank you for the opportunity given to have this long stay with my son but I really need an extra favour.” John added. "What is that?” The Manager inquired. “I need you to please extend my leave.” With a loud voice on the other end of the call, “Extend?!”"Yes I know I was supposed to be off for three days, but can I use the whole week, my son is yet to be awake and I don’t know at this point what is going to happen to him, the Doctors had left him to us saying they have done their best, so I really need to be there for my s
Sometimes we can’t predict the type of people that get to hate us. You can only choose those you call your friends. There are two reasons why you get enemies; reason one you did something to make them hate you, reason two they are super jealous of you. As I walked back to my room, I took a silent peek at George, he was still sleeping or as the medical experts will say, he was still unconscious. I looked at the time and it was almost evening Sarah had invited me for dinner. "I should get ready.” I said as I let out a heavy sigh. I walked towards my room and got into the shower. I looked for a very nice cloth after all she said it was a date so… Within a matter of minutes, I was ready. I picked up my phone to call Sarah. "Hey Sarah, are you ready, I am on my way?” I asked. "Ok Tony, I am almost ready.” She replied. "Alright then.” I said as I hung up. "Charlie returns home with an indifferent feeling. He paces up and down after a while he picks up his phone and scrolls through
John turned and tossed on his bed as he continued to wonder what Dumebi had gotten his hand into. His wife entered his room to see him in a distorted mood, "what is wrong John? Ever since you came back from your friend’s house, you have not been yourself.""Talk to me, do you have doubts about the treatment?” “I actually don’t have any doubt about the treatment, perhaps it’s because the doctors looked really professional, it’s just that Dumebi is hiding a lot of things.""I am beginning to doubt if I had ever known him at all.” John added. "Is it because of the house? Didn’t he tell you how he got the house, what else is making you confused?” "What about how he got those doctors, or about how he got the money to buy BRADON?” John asked further. With a sigh, his wife sat on the couch in the corner of the room, "what exactly is it John, God’s blessed your friend and you are sad? Who knew that something like this could happen…” “What if all the money is all gotten from fraud?” "Fr
Lizzy got to CELL very early that morning, she knew that many people wouldn’t be around yet. She had called the General Manager of CELL a day before to arrange a meeting with him. She moved to the GM office which was their meeting point. He was there, he was sitting down in his office, smoking a cigarette. She knocked on the door and then he responded, "who is there?" he asked as he put the cigarette down into an ash tray and hid it. He took an air freshener and sprayed the office. “it’s me sir, Lizzy.” Lizzy responded in a very calm voice. "Oh ok then, come in.” “I hope I wasn’t interrupting anything?” Lizzy asked as she entered the office shutting the door behind her. "Thank you so much sir for agreeing to see me.” "You said you had something important to tell me, that’s why I allowed for this meeting, so be quick. If it’s not worth it, you will pay for my time.” He said as he sniffed. “I promise it is worth it. Well you know that The New President of CELL was my ex brother i
"You want us to pretend to be Tony? How on earth are we going to do that?” Phillippe asked Charlie still confused of his idea. With a grunt of disappoinment, Charlie let out, "Urgh don’t let me regret involving you in this Phillippe, common why are you so slow.” “Ok, ok, just elaborate your plan a little further.” "Well I know that Tony had once saved Mr Wellington’s life, so Mr. Wellington must be fully aware of Tony’s skills. Looking at the fact that his daughter’s life was threaten recently, he must have tightened the security to keep her safe." "Miss. Wellington on the other hand is a shopping freak, party goer and a complete extrovert, she wants to go out all the time.” Charlie said as he took a pause. "Yes I know where does the Tony part comes in?” Phillippe asked as he still can't figure out Charlie's plan. "We are going to use a voice recorder to record Tony’s voice asking Sarah to come to a particular location. The only bad thing is, it wouldn’t be Tony she sees there,
“He is awake!” Paula exclaimed. John and I stood there looking at her speechlessly. “My son… my boy is he…?” John said as he hurriedly walked towards the room where George is. “George!” he screamed. I and Paula rushed towards him. “Don’t scream, his still recovering, but he opened his eyes briefly.” Paula said as she went to stabilize George. John was at the verge of tears. I tapped his shoulder. “I told you didn’t I, I told you he would be fine.” John turned back toward me and hugged me. It was quite emotional; I had trained myself not to feel any emotions but why do I feel emotions now. “My son is alive, he is alive! Thank you Dumebi, thank you Doctor Paula. Words can’t express how grateful I am for this.” John muttered as he cleaned the tears in his eyes. “Sorry I called you Dumebi. It would take me a while to get use to calling Tony please bear with me.” John said as with both laughed. “I am glad to see you two are settling your differences but I need you to know that he can
Lizzy spinning round and round on John’s chair, dropped her files on his table. She examines the chair and table and picture herself as the new Production Manager. Her imagination was cut short by John’s presence; “what’s going on here?” John asked looking at Lizzy angrily. Lizzy shocked at hearing John’s voice fell from the chair. “John…John what are you doing here?” "Is this meant to be a joke or what? Right in my office, you are asking why I'm doing here, what an audacity? "Yes, yes it is.” She replied as she got up adjusting her hair. "So what are you doing here?” Johnasked further. “I didn’t know you would be around today sir I heard you took a one week off for your son.”"And that gave you the gut to be in my office?"With an aura of pride, Lizzy let ou; "It’s not that, it’s just that while you weren’t around we were told to make a presentation that needs to be delivered next week. Since you were not around I was put in charge of it that’s all.”"Oh I see, funny how that’s
I woke up that morning feeling unsure of myself, this was the first time I would go for a mission feeling unsure. It was like 3:00am, the same time I was told to get there. I got dressed quickly as Trina started to call me; "hello Tony, where are you now?” She asked. "About to go." "When should I start counting the 1hr?” "Once I get there, I will send you a message.” I replied.I got into the car and drove straight to Gordom river side. I didn’t want my presence known to them, so I waited. I saw that Phillippe was dragging a woman into a building that was very sealed. I knew that, that was where they had the women kept hostage. "These people won’t really stop seriously.” I muttered out. I sent Trina a message to start counting the hour. I waited and saw Phillippe go out the building. I knew that was my que to go in. I went into the building. “don’t worry ladies. I am here to save you…” but before I could finish talking, I started to notice no one was there. The door of the
