Charles stared at Simon blankly for a few moments, unable to say a word. There was no way he really caught on that easily. He was probably just joking. How could Simon see him at one glance, and decide he was there in disguise?

That was just plain impossible.

“Disguise?” He finally asked, finding the right words.

“Yeah. Just look at you.”

“I don't know what you're talking about.” Charles replied, going back to the grass he was trimming.

“You think you can trick me, eh? You're no lawn mower. Look at the crappy way you're trimming the grass. You think anyone can be a lawn mower because it's a kind of underrated job here? Who are you?” Simon insisted, moving even closer to Charles.

“You keep saying words I don't understand, and you're bothering me. I'm trying to concentrate here.”

“You're someone else. I know it.”

“I'm not anyone else. I'm just Andrews Jacob who's seeking employment.” Charles snapped, accidentally taking out his frustration, and fear on the grasses, and cutting them in

    She stopped, and turned as they passed her by slowly. Charles, who was looking around at the extravagant lights used on the ceiling, happened to turn, and caught sight of Mrs. Lincoln staring at him. She squinted her eyes further, but he turned his face away slowly.“Sorry, Simon. I need to use the restroom.” He lied, looking around frantically.“Do you really need to go? Let's make it back to the lawn first. The restroom is a little far away from here. I would not like to return.”“Then, when do I get to use the restroom? When? If we go back to the lawn, then the restroom would become even farther. Do I really have to wait? It's killing me like crazy. I have to go.” He whispered, holding on to Simon's arm.“Are you serious? Why didn't you know you wanted to use the restroom when we were walking past it?” Simon snapped, jerking Charles' hands off him.“I didn't know it was a restroom.” Charles snapped back, and Simon glared at him. “Follow me.” He said, and turned around, grumbling.

    Charles was really excited on the inside, and out of instinct, he could have jumped on it immediately, showing how much he had been waiting for such an offer, but he composed himself.“What do you say to it, young man?” Sandra questioned.She was also wondering why he had not said yes just immediately after she gave him the offer. This got her more interested in him as she stared at him, scanning him from his head to his toes.She thought to herself that he would make a good employee if he didn’t usually jump at any offer which anyone made to him. At least, that would make him a trustworthy employee.“I actually I’m surprised, ma’am. I didn’t know what I did to deserve such kindness.” Charles finally spoke, acting like he was really touched by her offer.Sandra changed her standing position, and exhaled. She was glad because his response sounded like things were going to be positive which meant that he was going to say yes to it.“You seem like a unique man who has unique abilities. Yo

    Sandra walked out of her room, and headed downstairs to see Charles sitting humbly, and looking around like he was awed by the beauty of the mansion. She smiled, and walked down the stairs like a boss woman who has all she needs at her feet.When Charles sighted her, he rose to feet with both his hands humbly clasped together, and he bowed a little when she got closer to him.“Good day, ma’am.” He greeted her with respect.“Good day. Have a seat, Andrews.” She urged as she took her seat proudly and comfortably.Charles was excited and happy on where this was heading to, and he couldn’t wait to start his work here. At least, if he continued gardening this place, it might come to a period when he would be allowed into the house to run some quick errands or for any reason, and from there, he would have access to a few primary things that would aid him in destroying the entire family.“So, I’m happy you came early because there is somewhere I need you to accompany me to before you get bac

    Charles couldn’t get rid of the whole shock immediately. These three seemed like unlikely allies. If someone had predicted that Vera was going to partner up with them in the long run, he wouldn’t have believed.He was lost for words, and the only thing he could do next was to applaud them.“I really don’t get it. How could abducting James be worth all these?” he questioned, finding it difficult to understand how they would think a stupid idea was worth how they waned to get back at him.“Shut the hell up, Charles! You have nothing reasonable to say. We have had what we want, and it feels so good to know you’ve experienced defeat. If you thought you could have a nice life without me in it, then I hope this incidence have taught you that you can never be as big as you want.” Vera said, looking like she could hit him with any sharp object if she was allowed to.Then Tyson pushed James towards Charles. As Charles wanted to bend down to pick James up, Tyson shot him in the leg.“Ahhh!” Cha

    The siren blew as they all parked their cars around Charles’ house. They had even called the fire trucks to put out the smoke and fire that had been caused by the explosion.Charles sat at the back of the ambulance as they ran a quick check up on him to be certain he was okay.“You are fine sir. You weren’t affected in any way.” One of the paramedics informed him.“Thanks.” Charles responded in a low tone.Just when he wanted to celebrate one of his biggest wins, this calamity befell him, and worst of all, the man who had abducted James had not gotten back to him, since then.“Mr. Lincoln, do you perhaps know of anyone who might have a grudge on you that could have done this?” One of the cops who walked up to him, questioned him, while holding a note in his hand.“I don’t have an idea. It’s more like I’ve gotten rid of the enemies who let themselves known that they are my enemies. Right now, I have no idea.” Charles spoke, sounding really broken.“Alright, we’ll ensure we get to the r

    The next day, Charles woke up to James’ call. He rubbed his eyes, and then managed to sit up as he was feeling very tired. Although, he was meant to wake early today, especially because he had a flight to catch, but his bones were too tired to help him act as sharp as he ought to. As he answered his call, his eyes opened up immediately due to James’ overjoyed tone. “Boss! Boss! We did it! We finally did it!” James voiced out happily.Charles adjusted himself on the bed, and made his feet to touch the ground, wondering what news James had this time that made him to sound this way.“What’s going on?” Charles asked, with his curiosity taking the best of him.“Boss. Mr. Van actually did something great, last night. He told me this morning that he sent an email to Mr. Jayla about our need for vibranium, then he mentioned your name. About an hour after he talked to me about it, I received a response through the company’s email, from Mr. Jayla, expressing his joy that we had actually reac

    Charles stepped on the throttle and zoomed off, trying to cut through and ensure no one was going to take up space on the road which he could take advantage of.“If I’m able to drive faster than this, I should get to the nearest hospital very soon.” He thought to himself and then sped up.Fortunately, there was no traffic congestion this time, and the hospital he planned to go to was just right around the next main road.There was just ten minutes left and apart from getting to the hospital, there would obviously be some little process one would have to go through before making payment. Soon, I got to the hospital, and then walked in immediately, heading to the reception.“Good day. Please I’ll like to make payment for any patient who is need of medical attention or anyone who hasn’t been able to make payment.” Charles said to the receptionist.“Alright, sir. We’ll go through the records now. Please kindly have your seat while I make my research.” “No. I need to make an urgent payme

    When it was evening, he packed up his bags and was ready to leave for his home when James walked in.“You’re about leaving.” He said, noticing that he had packed up.“Yes. By the way, Mr. Van will be the one to go with me to Paris, and I’ll like to leave you to the company to take care of other things.”“Oh, are you sure about this? You know, you might need someone who you’ve really known, to go with you to another country.” James expressed his concern.Charles understood that he’s more vulnerable in a different country, especially with someone he hasn’t worked with, long enough to know if he had good intentions for him or not.“I understand. But I also need someone with experience, someone I can trust, that can stay back and that’s you. You don’t have to worry too much. Just do fine, here.” Charles spoke.“Alright, boss. I understand. So, are you going to set your eyes on the physical idea which the production team will prepare first, before you leave, tomorrow?” James asked, out of c

    When Charles got to his office, he asked to be left alone as he needed to strategize and see how he could make things work.“System, show me how many points I have gathered altogether.” He inquired and waited patiently for the system to show him his points.YOUR POINTS ALL EQUAL TO 15. DO YOU WISH TO USE THEM? YES/NO.Charles tapped his chin lightly, thinking if he can get through with anything with those fifteen points.“Show me the skills I have as options.” He uttered, and focused his eyes on the screen before him.YOU HAVE THE VARIOUS SKILLS OPTIONS AND THE POINTS YOU CAN USE TO GAIN THEM AS WELL ARE AS FOLLOWS: A. FIGHTING SKILLS (15 POINTS) B. MIND READING SKILLS (20 POINTS) C. MARKETING SKILLS (25 POINTS) …Although, Charles was a bit worried with the number of points needed for the various skills and the points that would be needed for the last skill which the system would bring up. But more than that, he was more worried about if the last skill that would be brought up would

    “We’ll talk more on this, tomorrow. As for today, you know how sacred it is for me. I won’t be engaging in any work, no matter how pressing it is.” Charles said, standing on his ground.“I understand, boss. It’s noted.” James replied, acknowledging what was more important to Charles, at this moment.They both stayed at the cemetery until it was 6pm.“Alright, it’s time to leave.” Charles urged as he rose to his feet.James also rose to his feet and helped Charles pack up the few things he had set up and then placed it in the car.“Thanks for your help, James. You should go home to rest and then tomorrow, we’ll look into the problem we have. Thanks for your concern again.” Charles appreciated him and then got into his car.James smiled and then walked to his car as well, then got into it and stared the engine immediately Charles drove off.He was glad that Charles was okay and nothing bad had happened to him, but he also hoped that their current problem at work would have a solution.

    James tried to call him again, but his phone was still switched off. He rose to his feet, then rushed to his bedroom, preparing to drive out to where Charles was, but he stopped halfway when he got back to the living room.He already had a second thought and which was to be patient. He felt that the information could wait. After all, all he just needed was confirmation if they were to go on with the idea of using vibranium or not.In a situation like this, he was used to reaching out to Vera, but now, he couldn’t. Well, he was going to get used to it, soon. He decided to put a call through to Mr. Van and the reason he decided this was so Mr. Van could get a hang of this work quickly and know what to do in different situations.“Hello, Mr. Van.” He greeted.“Good afternoon, Mr. James.”“I hope you’re getting the hang of things at work?” James asked as he sat on the sofa.“Yes, I am.”“Alright then. I need you to make a research on people who have vibranium in possession.” James instruct

    The next day, Charles had had his bath, and was searching through his wardrobe for something simple to wear.Today was his mother's memorial and as usual, he doesn't do anything on that day. He decided to wear a dark suit as that's how it has always been.After dressing up, and ensuring he was leaving nothing behind, he walked out of his room, with his shoes making tapping sounds which echoed as he walked down the stairs leading to his living room."Good morning sir." Martha greeted politely."Good morning." He responded with his hands in his pocket."Here are the flowers you ordered. They came in an hour ago." Martha informed as she handed the bouquet of flowers to him.Charles removed his hand from his pocket and received the flowers, then sniffed the scent in."Smells nice." He spoke as he nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Alright then. Until when I get back home."Charles turned towards the door and then halted before he turned back to her."You should also take the day off." He
