“Tessy!” I exclaimed with disbelief, staring at her with eyes wide open. She smiled and drew closer to me.

“what on earth are you doing here?. My God” i asked with a smile.
“To see you of course” she replied intelligently. I breathed deeply, a bit confused on what next to do.

“aren’t you going to take me to your apartment or are we going to stand here and chat?” she asked softly, her eyes all over me.
“oh yes of course, let’s go” i replied quickly, she rolled her eyes, scoffed.
“oh Val, Val, Val. You still haven’t changed” she breathed as she followed me to my apartment………………

On getting to my room, she demanded for a cup of cold water which i offered her before we settled down for a long talk.
“seriously i never knew you were in town. According to what you told my friend Frank, i wasn’t expecting to see you till weekend” i confessed while she laughed and licked her lips.

“yea you are right but i have been in town for almost a week. I bought a small house at world bank, seven days ago, which really was the main reason i came in. But finally i’m done with the renovation and everything, though it’s a clean small house which the owner never wanted to sell, but needed the money badly and so had to put it up for sale. My friend informed me, sent me the pictures and i jumped on it” she explained slowly as if i cared to know.

“hmmm i can’t imagine the amount of money in your bank accounts. You are just spending money like a politician. How about the other building project at New Owerri?” i asked curiously.

“it’s still on going dear, but i’m not rushing it” she replied, threw a quick glance round the room before leaving her eyes on me. I breathed deeply and looked down.
“You can’t imagine how much i missed you. I have everything but love. Anyway my relationship with you really thought me that you can’t buy love with money” she said softly,. I shrugged, feeling uneasy.
“so tell me, what’s your plan now that you are done with Nysc?” she asked curiously. I shrugged once again, saying nothing.
“I can help you set up yourself. I can help you out with a business idea and finance to back it up and make you hundred times richer than i’m” she suddenly proposed. I looked up at her with a curious expression.

“You know, when my husband and I divorced, i was left with money which could have finished had i not taken the risk to invest heavily and accept help from friends. Here i’m, offering you that same gesture, my friends offered me. I know you have money, we can even work together to set up a multi million business here in Owerri” she proposed effortlessly. I looked at her, unable to mutter a word.

Her offer really was cool and tempting, but coming from a lady like her. I couldn’t help but draw back with suspicion, moreover it wasn’t the first time she was proposing something juicy to me…
