Chapter 4 - Another Day At The Office

Daniel woke up rather late than usual. 

He placed his palm on his forehead as he felt a tiny sharp migraine. He looked around his room. Indeed its a masterpiece. 

He got up and went downstairs to get a cup of coffee. He glanced at the newspaper on the shelf. 

He knew Sir Devon had arrived, His Butler. He always drops the day's newspaper on the shelf to keep Daniel up to date. 

Daniel stared at the headline

*Manuel Merkovic Sentenced To 30 Years Jail Time For The Death Of His Elder Brother*

"Serves him right," Daniel said to himself. 

He walked to the Living room with his coffee in his left hand. He stared with awe at the wonder of nature, Taking it scene by scene. 

He turned round and glared at the wall clock, 10:22. He really had it last night, after the scolding from Amanda,Rodney's wife. 

And not forget Susan. 

He had a smile on his face as he graced the thought of seeing her once more. Her heavenly shaped body 

Daniel is a workaholic, never had time to fall in love. 

But that might be changing. He definitely loves the thought of that.

But he has to be sure,to be cautious. 

"I would really love to have today as my day off" Daniel said to himself as fell flat on the couch. 

"Duty calls" Daniel said to himself as he got up to have his bath. 

45 Minutes Passed Daniel arrived at the officer. He was still thinking about Susan when he was welcomed with an overwhelming applause. 

"Thank you" he said to them repeatedly until the applause died down. 

Chief Tenpenny Came forward to make a toast.  

Chief tenpenny always been a role model to Daniel,Chief tenpenny a obese man in his late 50s, ginger coloured hair and his grey moustache. 

Chief Tenpenny was said to have the ability to tell a criminal just from sight in his prime days. He is a living legend to the police force. 

"Chief's really suited for the occasion" Rodney said to Daniel while handing him a glass of wine. 

"You're right," Daniel said while nodding in affirmation of Rodney's observation. 

" He changes his tie," Daniel said. 

"That's odd"

Daniel's eyes widened in astonishment when something crossed his mind. 

He turned to look at Rodney. 

Daniel made a light chuckle as he stared at his friends loosened button and rough Tie. 

"Dressing in the car again?" Daniel said to his friend as they walked towards Daniel's office. 

"How...?"

"Your tie," Daniel answered, cutting Rodney short. 

"It was hell for me," Rodney said as he arranged his tie. 

"She didn't give me a chance to explain. " He stopped and looked at his reflection on Daniel's office door. 

"I really envy you Daniel, Your single life"

"Don't say that rod, she's just worried. she loves you man,and you know that"

Daniel has always admired the love Amanda has for Rodney. 

"She's just protecting her man" Daniel said as he closed his office door, not allowing Rodney to say a word. 

He took a long yawn. And looked at his office, occupied by a desk, files ,a water dispenser, he's laptop and a mini statue of Medusa. 

He smiled as he remembered the day he got promoted. 

He was greeted by 

Chief Tenpenny and got ready and laid forth his speech. 

A day to remember he thought to himself. 

A knock on the door made him turn. 

"Come in," he said as he sat down. 

Madison, his personal assistant, walked in. 

"Good day sir"

"Come on Maddie ,I told you already call me Daniel" he said taking a bite off an apple he saw on his desk. 

"I still think Sir is more preferable"She said with her coozy low pitched voice. 

"These are your documents" she said as she dropped a bunch of files on his desk. 

"The ones that couldn't be recorded digitally, due to the shortage of time". She said standing at the other end of the table. 

"Madison,chief's looking for you" a male voice said from outside Daniels office. 

"On my way!" she answered. 

She looked at Daniel's face. With a smile of satisfaction on her face. She knows he's going to be occupied all day. 

"I Don't understand how it got all this complex. So much case"Daniel said his eyes Still fixed on the document. 

"You definitely got me occupied" he said but got no response he raised his head only to find out Madison is long gone. 

"Great,"he said, tossing the document back down. He leaned back on his arm chair and closed his eyes trying to picture himself in his living room looking at the wonder of nature. 

*phone ringing*

" Grierson here" he said as he picked up the phone.
