Chapter fourteen
"You have touched a lion's tail. But don't worry. I don't give Swift death but I will give you a very Swift death."
His face was sour but after sometimes. A rare smile appeared on his face.
He looked towards the sky for sometimes before going back inside. He looked at his wife who was fast asleep and his beautiful daughter. He smiled and lied down beside them and closed his eyes.
.....
For the next two weeks. It was really a tough weeks for Vomaah.
The creation of state, he had been planning for, since the resumption of his office were successful.
He created 12 states from the four province. They had four province . Northern province, Southern province, Western province and Eastern province.
But among the whole provinces the most populated were the northern province. Despite that, the creation of the state were done equally. Three (3) states were created from each province making them a total of twelve. The central city was still the highest.
A temporary body were formulated by the arms forces ruling council for the conduct of Census which were almost successful.
....
Vomaah was busy checking some national related files in his office when a knock came. He murmured "Come in " without looking from the documents he were signing.
The door opened revealing a young beautiful woman in her late twenties. Her hair was left hanging at her back . She wore a black office trouser and white office long sleeve shirt. She dressed beautiful and cooperate.
Her makeup was light. She had a pink lips with sharp nose.
She looked at the man in front of her and was astonished. Even due, she had seen him many times but she still admires his beauty. Especially his full glory whenever, he was on his full military camouflage uniform. Even due , there has been an unpleasant news about him these few weeks but still, he remained unaffected by them . His glory, handsomeness, beauty, name and body physique was few among all that make women crawl at his feet. Despite all, no woman was bold enough to come closer to him because of his ruthless behavior. She was among his crush but she had never dreamt of coming closer to him. Any mistake or behavior out of your work tactics will earn you a punishment . You can't even withstand.
She held her head high , just like always and greeted him "Good morning, his excellence. I brought the file you ask me to bring."
She waited for him to respond and after what seems like forever to her. He looked at her which made her heart skip. " What is inside that document?"
She controlled her emotions and answered professional "Sir it is about allocation of the revenues."
He looked at her and nodded before saying "Drop the documents here and leave. Call Geng and tell him that he is needed in the office right now."
She answered "Yes sir" before leaving
Vomaah looked, picked the documents and studied it. After about 15 mins. A knock came again and his assistant entered.
Geng looked at the man that was studying some documents and greeted him before saying "Sir you called me."
Vomaah signed his signature on one of the pages before dropping his pen. He closed the documents before lifting his head. He looked at him for sometimes before asking "Are you done with what I asked you to do."
" Yes sir I am done. The northern province was angry when the states creation were published. Even due, none dared to question you. They said that they are bigger in population than any of the province why will the state creation be equal. "
Vomaah looked at him and nodded and said " Hmm , they can say anything they want to say. That is none of my business."
He picked a document and gave it to him. "Take it, you know what to do with it ."
he opened the document and nodded after sometimes.
Vomaah asked "What about the investigation. Are you done with it and have you done what I asked you to do."
His assistant Geng took a deep breath and sighed before answering "Yes sir , I am done with the investigation. The cleaner confessed that it was the same Editor that asked her to put the camera in the office and after a thorough investigation . It was confirmed that it was the same man. He was also the same man that published the news about you and your family. All the bad news were published by him. He had been behind the false publication about you. "
Vomaah took a breath and signed. Everybody is free to say anything they want but one thing is that he don't care. He was about to type into the computer to send a message to his secret guards to take care of the news when he heard his assistant speaking "Sir, he was also behind your first assassin attempt."
Immediately he said that the temperature in the room felled. Even due, his face was expressionless. His eyes were cold. He smiled and said "Arrange a meeting with him."
" Sir, I did that but he declined. He sent these letter these morning. I was just receiving the letter and preparing to report what I found out before she called saying "You sent for me ."
He gave the letter to Vomaah. He slowly unsealed the letter and checked something before opening it. After, he read the first paragraph of the letter. He frowned.
His assistant noticed his expression and knew something was wrong. After sometimes, Vomaah dropped the letter and a rare smile appeared on his face "There was no way I wanted to spear him but these insult had made it easy. He gave me an idea on how to handle him. You know his location. Write a blank letter on my behalf. Send it to him and tell him that it is from the president's office and I want him to publish the article. That is an important one. You know what to put there. Do a clean job."
A smile appeared on his assistant face. Who said he wasn't ruthless.He knows what he wants him to do. After sometimes, he smiled and said
"Yes sir, I Know what to do"
he turned around and left the office. Vomaah smiled ' Don't touch a lion's tail. The worse you did was exposing my family for the enemies.'
He leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.
