I stared at Godwin, surprised at how confident he sounded even when saying the most absurd thing.

“Well, come with me,” he said as the elevator came down.

I got into the elevator, and he pressed a button with 6 inscribed on it. Soon a low rumble came as it took us up. Godwin wasn’t looking at me. He was smiling his usual smile, while humming a song.

“Have you thought of my proposal? It could change your life you know. Imagine working with us for a year, living the perfect life every girl has dreamt about. I mean, you’ll be a princess after a year,” he said with the grin fixed on his face.

I looked at him for a moment,

“Would you like your daughter to work here?”

He laughed, a deep rumble as though his food didn’t digest well.

“Read this? It’s too big please. Can’t u sign the contract?,” I asked, too tired to read the volume before me.

“Of course, you can sign it right now. That’ll be the best,” she said, her smile getting bigger.

I took the pen, and as I tried to sign it I found Jane smiling more, as though she was happy I wasn’t going to read it.

“You don’t want me to read this, don’t you?,” I asked her.

Her smile faded, and she was now frowning…
