Abby answered the door and saw Maria.
‘geez! Maria, what took you so long?’ Abby asked as she ushered her in.
‘my dad. I dont know whats wrong with that man. Its because he’s already left for work thats why i came’ Maria said.
‘okay’ Abby said and sat close to her.
‘where’s your uncle?’ Maria asked.
‘oh! Let me call him for you’ Abby said and left.
Maria relaxed on the sofa. In less than five minutes, Abby came out with Gilbert.
‘good afternoon sir’ she said as she sat up.
‘good afternoon dear, how are you?’
‘i’m fine sir’
‘Abby, please excuse us’ Gilbert said.

Alice and Tony went for lunch at exactly 2pm and Alice decided to use that chance to ask Tony about what happened earlier.
‘uhm Tony, what happened between you and your girlfriend?’ Alice asked.
Tony laughed.
‘what do you want to know?’ he asked.

Alice looked at her toes.

Tony touched her chin playfully.
‘well, we are over’ Tony said.

Alice didnt know when she smiled to herself but she quickly frowned.
‘what happened?’ she asked.
‘dont worry. I dont want to talk about it. Have you heard from Ansa?’ Tony asked in an attempt to change the topic.
‘nope. I dont really know whats wrong with that guy. He left for the US without telling us. He called back a month later and told us he’s out of town but since then, i’ve not heard from him’ Alice said and sighed.
‘well, i will be going to US next week with my daughter for her shopping for her coming birthday party’ Tony said.
‘wow! Are you really going to go to US for just shopping which can be done anywhere around Nigeria?’ Alice asked in surprise.
‘Maria wouldnt shop if it isnt US. Do you want to come along?’ Tony asked.
Alice laughed a little.
‘you never cease to amaze me Tony. How do you expect me to follow you as what? Your girlfriend or what? Abeg oo’ Alice said and Tony laughed.
‘go jor! Do you want to caome along? Just say yes’
‘but…what about my work?’ Alice asked.
Tony gave her a knowing look and she sighed.
‘i forgot that you are the boss here’ she said.
‘now good. Do you want to come?’ Tony asked.
‘isnt that wierd? Besides, its more expenses?’ Alice said.

Tony laughed.
‘i’d take that for a yes then’
Alice smiled.
‘have you ever left the country?’ Tony asked.
‘nope. But Benjamin and i planned our honeymoon to be in Hawaii’ Alice said.
‘oops! Sorry’
‘about what?’
Tony used his finger to scoop a little quantity of ice cream and rubbed it on Alice’s cheek.
Alice retaliated and guess what? They were chasing each other like lovebirds in the canteen leaving people looking at them in wonder

Nneka opened the door to Maria’s room.
Flung her wardrobe open and brought out that jeans that she had used to hide whatever she kept there two months ago.

She removed it from the jeans, spat on it then hid it back. She opened her drawer and took an earring with her, then she went to Tony’s room, picked a tee shirt and left for her room then she invoked the spirit of queen Lateefa and when she came, she handed the things to her.
