The door opened and Tola entered the room. I swung around and faced her, holding a pair of shoes and a silver clutch bag.

‘Tola, please can I borrow these? I have a very important meeting with some customers on Friday.’

She smiled. ‘Of course you can. You are free to use any of my things.’

‘Thank you so much.’ I hugged her, relieved that I had only my hair to deal with.

‘Wale and Patrick are in the living room. You want to say hi to them?’

The evening went well. I particularly enjoyed talking with Patrick except that he mentioned a lot of scriptures even though in a more relaxed way and not like Kunle who used scriptures to threaten me. Still, ‘spirikoko’ men were all the same. They enjoyed using scriptures to oppress women and I was so done with men like that. Once you quote scriptures, I run.

When Patrick asked if I’d be free to have lunch with him on Saturday, I came up with an excuse. I didn’t want men like him around me. It’s only a matter of time before they became bossy.

Friday evening. The taxi that picked me up stopped in front of a restaurant at VI. I stared at the building, stunned. The place screamed expensive. Two white men came out of the restaurant, talking and laughing.

‘Jesus.’ I muttered.

Why did I even agree to come? Maybe I should just go home and call Funmi to explain that I had a flu.

The cab driver turned to me. ‘Madam, this is the place.’

‘Of course.’ I answered, curtly. My palms were sweaty. I paid him and got down from the car.
