“Come on in.” Andrew urged.“That’s your bathroom. Why are we going into a bathroom?” Charles asked, looking really baffled.“Yeah, I know. Can you just trust me, Charles?” Andrew chuckled, sensing Charles’ nervousness.Then Charles took in a deep breath, and let it out.“Well, let’s take this risk now that we are here.” Charles thought to himself.“Alright.” He spoke, and walked up to Andrew who held the bathroom door open.As he walked past Andrew, and walked into the bathroom, Andrew shut the door behind him, then he pressed a button right beside the shower, and a rectangular space opened like a door.“What’s this?” Charles asked, looking amused while he was staring at that rectangular space, pushing inside like it was creating a pathway for them. Then it stopped, and opened. Charles’ eyes widened in amusement. He hadn’t walked into the pathway, and although, all he was seeing was darkness, he had a feeling that there was something more that could sweep him off his feet.“Come on,

It was hard to explain what kissing Louis felt like. She had never kissed anyone, so she didn't expect it to feel as weird as that. His lips were soft, and he kissed her softly, cuddling her lips with his. Her heart began to beat faster, and her palms released excess sweat. Vera didn't know how she was to feel or what she was to do. They were so close to each other. So close that she could feel his warmth, through her clothes.It awakened new feelings in her— feelings she never thought she'd have. His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her closer, and the other cupped her face, tilting her neck upwards. Although she didn't know how to kiss, she parted her lips, and their kiss got deeper. If there was anything she knew, it was that she wanted the kiss badly at the moment. The both of them stayed there, kissing right in front of her house. For Vera, it was a very magical feeling, as the wind moved through her hair, and clothes. The trees whispered to each other, and the kiss wa

Charles couldn't deny that he felt a little nervous. It felt like lead had been thrown into his stomach, and was weighing him down. His head seemed to be ringing, and it almost felt like he could feel the blood rushing in his veins. He kept on swallowing, as Andrew sat in front of four different computers that looked a little weird.Charles couldn't get used to a computer looking like that. After typing long enough to keep the tapping going in Charles' head, he went to meet him, and began to stick some circle-like things to his temples and forehead. The circle-like things had long wires which connected to the large computers, and Charles suddenly got the strange feeling that he was about to be electrocuted. He knew he wasn't supposed to get cold feet. After all, he was a man, but still, it did nothing to douse the flames of fear and insecurity growing within him."Is it going to hurt?" He finally asked, and Andrew chuckled."Nah. Not a bit." He assured him, and went back to the comp

Vera continued to stare at Louis as her cab drove past him, and unable to leave him waiting there, she stopped the driver. “I'll get off here.” She said, and the driver stopped the car, after swerving off the road. Vera pushed open the door, paid the man, and began to walk back to the cafe. As she did, her heart thumped loudly in her chest. As she walked, she seemed to be fighting a battle inside of her head.'You don't know him.’ A voice said.'Are you willing to throw away your feelings all because he's a stranger? He's bared himself to you, he's willing to love you.’ Another arose.‘Don’t forget that strangers are dangerous, Vera.''If Louis leaves, you'll be the one hurting twice as much because you could have been with him, you could have allowed yourself to find happiness. This is the first time anyone this serious has ever approached you, you're not going to throw it away. Do you have to torture yourself this way? You like him, then accept it.’ 'No. You don't just accept str

Charles never knew that he would feel so happy to see the old system notification back. There were days when he thought hard, and racked his brain to think of where or on who he could spend the money.In fact, it had once gotten to a stage when he felt frustrated and tired of the whole tasks, but right now, he felt like the happiest man on earth, happy to do any task which the system wanted him to perform.“So, I guess you have 24 hours to perform this task.” Andrew said, looking at him with a smile.He knew how happy Charles was, so it was more like he had contacted that joy, and was ready to do more things which would make him happy.“That reminds me. What could happen if I fail any of the tasks given to me?” Charles asked, finally glad that he had someone who could give him an answer to this question which had been on his mind.“Oh, that’s true! Well, if you fail tasks, you will face a penalty. A hundred million dollars or even a billion could disappear from your account, or you mi

YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE TASK. THEEREFORE, YOU HAVE GAINED 5 POINTS AND NOW HAVE THE LIBERTY TO CHOOSE ONE OF THESE SKILLS WHICH CAN BE GOTTEN WITH 5 POINTS.Charles was able to successfully complete the task, and it made him feel so relieved, and top of the world.He stared at the options he had, and kept them because he wasn’t ready to use a skill yet, and he hoped that whenever he needs a skill, it would be any of the ones listed here.“Business was good today.” Vera spoke with a happy smile while in Charles’ car.“I know right? If only every day can be this way, there’ll be no worries.” “Exactly.”“Although, there’s bound to be days when things would seem sour, but we’ll always overcome. That’s certain.” James added, and they all acknowledged it.“But at the same time, I’m also glad I have good people like you and Vera. You both have areas where you really do well, and I commend you for that.”“Well, anything for you, boss!” James voiced out happily, and they all chuck

Her eyelids fluttered to be certain that she saw the right thing, but when she opened her eyes to look at him again, his facial expression had turned back to normal.“Is anything wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?” Louis asked, with a smile on his face.“Uhm… Nothing.” Vera replied as she shook her head and then turned her head to the other side of the car.Louis then chuckled, and bit his lower lip.“I guess since you accepted me to be in your life, you have come to accept your feelings and now, they’re taking over in a rush. You were probably wondering how you came to love me so fast. Well, I’ll tell you.”Vera turned to look at him, interested in what he had to say next.“Well, it’s because it’s fate. Fate brought us together, Vera, and it made both of us fall in love.” He spoke, and then leaned over to kiss her on her forehead.“Come on, Louis.” She chuckled. “Eyes on the road.” She said to him, and let out a breath which was relieving her of all the tension she got while

It felt as if something huge was dropped on Charles' heart and he somehow found it difficult to breathe.He quickly clicked on the news headline and then his fast beating heart turned into a normal paced one as he realized the situation wasn't what he thought it was.The explosion was actually from a kitchen near the bazaar and it wasn't an explosion that took lives, neither was it one that was very serious.“Oh, my goodness. The media really need to find a way to relay their news in a better way; in a way that won't make someone have a heart attack.” Charles voiced out as he breathed out to express how relieved he was.“What was that?”.”There was an explosion around a grocery bazaar. Not that serious.” Charles responded, still acting relieved.“Oh, i see. Alright then. I need you to sit and relax. I'll see what I can do and how fast I can be. If the arsonist contacts you, play safe with them, so they don't feel pushed to press the button.” Andrew advised.“Alright, noted. I will.” Ch

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
