First" she turned towards me, "I asked you to come for a reason which I believe will help you a lot. The chairman of our institution was told of your work by me. He has decided to help you financially, and will meet you personally after a while. He's on his way here at the moment probably. As for you Alice, your boss, Mr. Dominic has finally decided to retire, and we have decided that you are worthy enough to be made the new head of your department."
I looked at Alice only to see her looking extremely happy. She hugged me in front of the headmistress. I glanced at her to find her smiling. "Well, it's great news, and we should celebrate it." I said."Not so fast, wait for the chairman to come, then you'll both have something to celebrate about," interfered the headmistress. I nodded and then Alice was directed to go back to her department. I waited in Alice's office while she was congratulated by her colleagues.
After a while, the chairman came, and the peon came to tell me about it. I got up and went with the peon back to the chairman's office. After knocking, I entered the room to see a middle-aged man, in a complete suit, from top to bottom, with sweet cologne and gel applied to his black hair. He welcomed me and asked me to sit down. Then he discussed with me how Mrs. Grey (headmistress) had told him about me and that he wanted to help me with my project, if I would promote the school. He offered a handsome amount for my project and it was an offer I couldn't refuse. We then signed the contract and shook hands. Then he handed me an advance cheque, for 40% the amount of money promised, and told that I would get the remaining money once I completed the story.
I then exited his office and told the good news to Alice. After that, I contacted Sarah, saying that if she gives me some of her time I'll pay her for what she earns, usually for working part time. She accepted it and asked me to come on Sunday in the evening, as she would be free then. I accepted it. Then I contacted Mr. Neville's hospital to check if he was back in his room. I was given a positive response. I headed to the hospital to get some more of the story. I got some fruits and some snacks for him from the grocery store. Then I got on the bus from the stop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knocked on the hospital's room. "Come on in." said the voice. I entered and was welcomed with a warm smile. "I thought you forgot about me" he commented. "You can not be forgotten." to which he chuckled lightly.I asked if he was feeling fine after the surgery, to which he nodded and said, "I didn't feel a thing and it was successful, so it's a win-win."
Then I told him the good news. He congratulated me. I gave him the fruit I had bought for him. Then he asked me where he had left the story. "You told me about Micheal's mom, Mrs. Green, about how she asked about Sarah from you." "Yeah. After that...." he started once again.
