Meanwhile, Jordan was not the only one guilty of the offense, but his look betrayed him. They all made up their minds to take their drugs faithfully now that they have understood the essence of doing that.
Subsequently, they had their lunch and everyone retired to their rooms. Then, Ahmed took Edwin back to his house. Now, the time was already 1:30 pm, so he still had two hours and thirty minutes before the meeting with the Chairman, but he did not want to go back to his house in the Industrial Area. He was afraid that he might sleep off, and miss the meeting. So, he decided to take the Vice Chairman's official car back to him and hang around the security post until 4 pm.
“The boss said you should wait for him in the guest room,” the janitor informed Ahmed after he parked the official car, and handed over the car keys to him.
“It is all right.”
Then, the janitor led him to the guest room, and switched on the Air Conditioner and the television before he left. Meanwhile, there was no chair in the room, so he had no choice but to sit on the bed to watch the television. Before three minutes, he drifted off to sleep, and he did not wake up until after two hours. Nevertheless, Ken deliberately asked the Janitor to collect the keys and take him to the guest room because he wanted him to have a proper rest, and he did. He woke him up when it was time for the meeting with the Chairman.
“The boss wishes to see you, Sir” The janitor announced when he knocked on the guest room door. Ahmed woke up with a start. He steadied himself on the bed for a few seconds before he responded, “All right. I will be with him shortly.”
Nevertheless, he went to the restroom to micturate, washed his face and gargled with water for fresh breath. Thereafter, he walked to the sitting room to meet the Vice Chairman waiting patiently for him, and he was ashamed of himself.
“I apologize, boss. I slept off.”
“Yes. That was the essence. You need it. Let's go.”
'Wow! He deliberately wanted me to rest. What a considerate boss,' he thought to himself, and appreciated, “Thank you, boss.”
“You are welcome.”
At once, they moved over to the Chairman's Lounge for their meeting.
At the Grand Crest Luxury.
After they had their lunch and retired to their various rooms, Victor decided to check the online news. He had not had the opportunity to reply to the remarks about him. Now, he could do that.
Meanwhile, he contacted his Alumni, platoon members and other friends, and they began their keyboard war. After he contacted them, the closest friends made the request on their various platforms by posting.
LET'S DEFEND OUR OWN
The caption captured every member's attention, and the platforms became busy at once as they began to ask questions like:
“What happened?”
“Who is in trouble?”
“Who attacked our own?”
“Are you talking about Victor? I have started attacking those enemies of progress on the internet. Victor is ours. His success is our success.”
The poster of the caption was glad because the post had gotten the desired effect. They all took to the social media and began their revenge. Now, they attacked and responded to the enemies posts word for word.
THE CHERRY FIELDS OIL AND GAS GROUP RECOGNIZE ME.
“Why should they remember you? Are you Victor? Nobody will remember you. You can commit suicide.”
I AM A GRADUATE.
“Are you just realizing that? Why didn't you say that before now? You just remembered because you saw Mr. Ife.”
I READ PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
“Nobody is seeking your opinion? You can work as a patrol attendant.
I'M A MEDICAL DOCTOR.
“It's a lie. I know you. You're a spiritual doctor. You took over your father's shrine.”
WHAT HAS HE DONE THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE.
“He has helped the youngsters while you have raped all the teenage girls in your community.”
I MOBILIZED YOUTHS TO SWEEP THE STREETS EVERY DAY.
“You're a pig. You smear the street the more. You mobilized youths to snatch ballot boxes.”
I SINGLE-HANDEDLY BUILT A PUBLIC TOILET.
“Where is it?” Kindly show us.”
“At where? How come we don't know?”
I AM A MEDICAL DOCTOR, I HELP IN TRAINING THE TRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANTS.
“We know you. You're an abortionist. You have made our teenage girls womb less.”
Now, the netizens were divided. Some for Mr. Ife, while some are for the protesters. After one hour, the people on Mr. Ife's side swallowed up the protesters. The protesters were deeply compunctious when they were humiliated. Now, more people began to address them as LAZY NIGERIAN YOUTHS. They chickened out, and went into hiding.
At Robinson's and Richard's side.
They were loitering beside the Master's Temple in trepidation, but could not get in. They hoped that their presence in the vicinity would appeal to his consciousness, and he would prophesy good concerning them and send for them. However, when they did not get any attention, they complained, “We have been here since morning,” said Robinson.
“Yes. You are right. It's 5 o'clock now. What do we do?” Asked Richard.
“I think we should just go home. As you can see, this is not working.”
“That is a nice idea. We can brainstorm on another line of action when we get home.”
Then, they left for their homes, where their wives and children were not relevant to them. Their wives were not as educated as Gabriel's imported wife, which was one of Gabriel's offenses. The thought of that makes them wish to eliminate him faster. As soon as Richard got home and saw his ugly and uneducated wife, he felt queasy. Then, he called on Robinson and announced, “I'm going to the office. I don't feel like staying here.”
“I also feel the same. I want to avoid seeing this ugly Elizabeth when she comes out of her room. I will meet you there right away.”
“Okay.”
At the Chairman's Lounge
They gathered as scheduled. Meanwhile, Mr. Morris was in his bedroom when the guests arrived. At four on the dot, he joined them. The meeting began with the replay of the surveillance footage of when Richard and Robinson arrived with the General Manager at the Company Medical Center. Nonetheless, it was only Ahmed that was seeing it for the first time. Then, he asked the CSO to replay it, which he did.
Now, the Chairman observed the countenances of all of them as they watched the video, and thereafter, he spoke, “Ahmed, you are seeing this for the first time, am I right?”
“Yes Mr. Morris. When did this happen?" He inquired, looking worriedly at the Chairman's face.
“When you were at the recruitment camp,” The Vice Chairman explained.
“What are your observations, Ahmed?” The Chairman requested.
“The General Manager was attacked by the two members of the management team, who took him to the hospital,” Ahmed explained with bitterness.
“Good, as you can see, his life is under attack, and we are going to fortify the security around him during the event.”
“That is a nice idea. I suggest we also fortify the security around Richard and Robinson. The essence is to monitor their movements and activities during the event,” the CSO pointed out.
The other participants' faces were lit up. The Chairman and the Vice Chairman had never thought of that. They were only worried about the General Manager. It never occurred to them that the enemies could be kept at bay too.
“That is thoughtful of you CSO. I'm confident that you know what to do.”
“Yes Mr. Morris.”
“I would like to know, is the General Manager aware of this?” Ahmed asked.
“No. We kept him out of it for obvious reasons. He must not be distracted until after the Independent Anniversary Celebration,” the Vice Chairman responded.
“That's good. I will also propose that all the staff children should be masked up on that day. With what happened at the Television Station today, our children may not be able to move freely after the event on Monday.”
“Thank you, Ahmed. That is very thoughtful of you. We have noted your suggestion,” the Chairman responded. Then, he looked at Ahmed and the CSO one after the other and asked, “Tell me, is there any other thing we need to know?"
