Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16

Henry’s POV

When my drawing book fell from my hands, it revealed a beautiful portrait of the secretary which I was drawing. The secretary picked up the book and she said wow you are a talented artist aren’t you? I told her thanks for the complement. William said Charles is waiting for us and we excused ourselves from the secretary and walked into his Office. In Charles’s office, we met him working on his laptop computer and it looked like it was giving him problems and my brother William the computer genius swung into action. He asked Charles it looks like your computer is giving you some problems? Charles responded saying that the dam thing wouldn’t come on and when it does it keeps showing me this pointing to the computer screen. He added if not for the fact that I need some files on it I would have thrown it away and bought a new one and William asked him can I have a look at it? Charles handed him the computer and William went to work and after about 30 minutes, he announced I’m done. Charles asked him is it fixed? He said yes all fixed and Charles said let me see and he did and saw that the computer was working perfectly. Charles asked my brother what was wrong with it and how did you fix it? William started speaking some techno jargons which I didn’t understand but by this time I had started drawing in my book. I drew everything in Charles’s office including himself. Charles asked you are Lillian’s brothers right? Then William responded yes I am the older one William and that’s my baby brother Henry. Charles said the reason why I wanted to see you both today was because I wanted to know what your interests are. He continued I want to know what you want to do with your lives and William said well I just graduated from high school and Charles said oh congratulations and William said thank you and continued I would like to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for my degree in computer science and or computer engineering. That’s if I have the money for the fees. Charles said don’t worry about the school fees I’m going to offer you a scholarship and William said oh really you would do that for me? Charles said it’s the least I can do to say thank you for fixing my computer and he added there is a job waiting for you in this company when you graduate. William said thank you very much and Charles said you’re welcome. He shifted his attention to me and asked so what are your interests? I showed him my drawing book and he flipped through it after looking through the book, he said you are a very talented artist you know right? He continued these could be worth a lot of money and I told him I didn’t want money for now I continued I said all I’m concentrating on right now is finishing high school and maybe attending Julliard a university for the arts and Charles said that’s good and added I would offer you a scholarship to finish your high school education and probably to Julliard that’s if you get in but I know with your talent you would. Charles called his secretary and told her to take our documents and put us in for the Anderson enterprises scholarships. Charles asked me if I could attend his wedding to draw a portrait of he and his fiancée and I said it would be my honour. I and my elder brother William left Charles’s office that day with joy in our hearts and scholarships to further our education.

Lillian’s POV

I took the subway and arrived at Robinson enterprises. I walked into the building and met the receptionist at the front desk and I told her that I was here to see Diana Robinson and she asked do you have an appointment? I said yes she is expecting me. She asked for my name and I gave it to her. She picked up the office intercom and spoke into it for about a minute and she said to take the elevator to the 25th floor. I went to the elevator and entered it and punched the digits to the floor I was heading to and in less than 5 minutes, I heard a ding and the elevator doors opened to reveal a beautiful office. I met Diana’s secretary on seat she welcomed me and said that the boss has been expecting you and she pointed to Diana’s office and told me to go in. I got to the door and knocked and I heard come in. I walked into Diana’s office and I met her watching something on the large screen in her office and she saw me and said oh Lillian you are here, please have your seat pointing to the sofa in the office and she added give me one minute and I would be with you. After one minute she turned off the screen and came to take her seat in front of her table. Just before we could start our meeting on my scholarship, the desk phone rang and she picked it and put it on speaker. The person on the other end of the call said Miss Diana come quickly to the research department a fire just broke out. Diana stood up grabbed her coat and she told me to wait for her but I told her that I’d like to go with her and that maybe I could help and she said okay come with me. We took the elevator and arrived at the 15th floor which I presumed was the research department. When we got there, the fire had been put out but the workers were all unconscious all twelve of them. I went to work I administered CPR and chest compressions on the first person when he coughed I went on to the next and the next until they all regained consciousness. After all of them had been revived, Diana asked what caused the fire? The lead researcher told her that he would have a full report on her desk by tomorrow morning. I told them that they all had to be checked out by a doctor and Diana said that luckily for them they had a medical unit in the building. I and Diana escorted the workers of the research department to the medical unit. After they had all been checked out by the doctor and were given a clean bill of health, Diana announced that they all should proceed on a two week paid leave. The whole room erupted in a round of applauds with cheers. Diana and I excused ourselves from them to go and continue our meeting.
