1138 Words
The protest exhibited by the beggars was a huge success.
Although the police were still delegating on who started the protest in the first place, they decided to open the road back to the beggars inorder to help their current state of being.
Once the road was opened back to the public, the beggars finally decided to stop the protest and return back to the streets knowing that the main aim of their protest has been exhibited.
"It has now been confirmed that the protest once started by an anonymous person has now ended.
It has been about two weeks since the protest began and the government has heard their cries and so has made the road back open to the beggars", said a news personnel as the news was finally confirmed.
"Yes, you did it. You finally got what you were fighting for", Laurel exuberated after hearing the news.
"I am so glad that we finally got it done", Gill said with a smerk look on his face.
Looking in the life of Sandra, there were a lot of ups and downs.
Her mother died after giving birth to her and her father died about two years after due to sickness.
She was soon taken to an orphanage home by her uncle where she stayed for about three to four years.
She was then appointed for an adoption by Gill and Laurel and later got adopted by Laurel.
She has lived with them ever since always praying for happiness everyday she visits on this earth.
Lisa on the other hand always sought revenge on Gill after the incident of the divorce.
She would literally do anything to get back at Gill and so, took the evidence of his illegal speech back to the police.
"So as I said earlier, he was illegally speaking against the government for the protest to take place", Lisa shouted.
"Pls, stop screaming young lady", the commander of police obliged to Lisa.
"Do you have any proof".
"Oh, yes I do", replied Lisa as she stuck her hand into her tightly structured jeans and brought out her phone.
Putting up the video, she reported back to the police.
"See, right there. He is speaking against the law", Lisa showed confidently.
"Sorry miss but there is no crime there. If you want us to do anything it will cost you", the commander of police informed.
Havarly Hills is also a place of bribery and corruption which meant that no one could get the support of the police unless they paid for it.
Lisa returned back home more dreary and ominous than she left.
Her mother looked at her with a grudge and reported back to her corner.
"How could you need bribe for a crime committed. This city is just stupid and disgusting.
I wonder how my mother lived here for about fifteen years", Lisa soliloquized.
Gill finally got admitted into his new job for his first day and it went excellently.
He performed great and in just one day had soon become one of the manager's most favoured employees.
He was supposed to handle all transactions of the organisation on that day and he performed it excellently, plus making the life of the manager easier.
"Well done", said the manager as he brought out his hand for a handshake.
Gill shook his hand and as soon as he was done, went to report the news back to Roger.
"Wow, really! Good for you", Roger hailed for a long time as Gill finally began to leave the scene.
'What is all this. I have been working here all this while and I have not for one day recieved a handshake from the manager.
Yes, my first day may have been bad but I still deserve some credit. This is injustice', Roger thought as he began to grow jealous of Gill.
Roger, after more events of Gill's arrival has never been less jealous.
He hated Gill with passion and so did Lisa. The perfect time for them to come together.
Two weeks later......
A whole two weeks past before Lisa finally decided to sack Gill the way he sacked him from his first job.
She dressed up and wore a black top, black skirt and rushed to a taxi in order to get to the company as soon as possible.
She soon arrived and lucky for her, it was during Gill's shift.
"What is your purpose here?", the receptionist greeted Lisa with a charming smile.
"Um, I am here to see the manager", Lisa replied.
"Do you have an appointment", retorted the receptionist.
"No, but can you just send him to me", Lisa enquired.
"Sorry, but our company does not take part in such an act", the receptionist demanded.
"You would have to wait in the waiting area to register for an appointment".
Unfortumately, by the time that she arrived at the waiting area, it was already full and jam packed.
She was about losing hope and giving up the plan when Roger came barging in seeing a beautiful and charming girl which he had never seen before, he decided to stop and question.
"Pls, what brings you to this company", Roger asked.
"Well, if you must know, I am here to support a claim that Gill was involved in the illegal speaking against government choices to bring about the protest", Lisa said as she showed Roger the video.
"This is perfect. I can finally get my revenge on Gill", Roger dialogue with Lisa.
"What made you to begin to hate Gill?", questioned Lisa to Roger.
"Jealousy, I guess. He came in and stole my spotlight", Roger emphasised.
It took a while before Roger could successfully sneak Lisa into the manager's office while avoiding all the obstacles along the way.
They knocked on the door and the manager's assistant helped them to get it all sorted out.
"Excuse me sir", stammered Lisa. "Do you have any appointment", replied the manager in return.
"Sir Pls, I am here on official business. Take a look at this", Lisa said seriously showing the manager the phone.
The manager watched it from the beginning till the end and again the manager was quick to react.
He immediately called the police while pursuing Lisa and Roger out of his office.
"Yes police. Come quick. I will pay any money you call pls, we need to sort out something", the manager cried.
It didn't take long before Gill was called into the manager's office and given the termination letter.
"I'm being sacked, but why?", Gill pleaded and asked.
"Sorry, but a woman as well as Roger came in here and gave me proof that you don't deserve to work in this job. Pls, leave immediately", the manager said as he called the security to carry Gill out of the premises.
