Chapter eleven; The room discussion
“Good day sir, you seemed pretty much in a haste when you called.” Ms. Blanche greeted on sighting Idris stepping into the mansion.“Where is Mr Lane?”“In his office of course.” She said, trying to match his strides.Idris stopped and turned as if he remembered something, “The girl, is she ready?”“No sir”“And why is that?”“She has refused to do anything, let alone go anywhere. She is being stubborn.”“What's her reason for her petulant attitude?” He asked calmly, this time, his attention seems to be towards the girl.“Tell me sir, does a teenage girl need a reason to be petulant?”“Fair…” Idris exhaled lightly as he bent his head for a moment.“”Alright, take me to her apartment.”“Em…ok but you should brace yourself to be properly welcomed.”“Ms. Blanche. Have you seen a goat fly before?”Folds of wrinkles wrapped on her forehead,”I don't follow sir”“Exactly, that's how you appear when you try to be sarcastic.”She squeezed her face, her shoulders hunched, feeling defeated whi

Chapter twelve; The Twentieth century man
“So, what's the plan?’ Amelia asked, staring in awe at the tall architectural edifice right before them. On its top was the writing, “Piaso Company, a Pierce family Enterprise.”“A lot has changed here. It doesn't look like the one my father showed me when I was a kid.”“That's because this isn't it. This is a branch, Riley town Branch.”“Wow, this is…”“Don't get too excited my friend. Well, as pertaining to your initial question, there is none. There is no plan. Just me and you paying a visit to a high ranking individual in the company.” Idris' calm voice curts through.She scoffed, “You're joking, right?” The smile tugging at the edge of her lips disappeared by the time she saw the seriousness on his face, “Wait, you're not joking.”“Took you three minutes to notice that. Well, a piece of advice…” He said as he was about to cross. “If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the plan, rather worry about the price to pay to learn something today.” He ended and started walking towards the

Chapter thirteen; Harris Monte
“Harris Monte” The helium lights accentuated the well scribed writings on the magnificent four squared building.“Wow, all this, a restaurant.” Amelia huffed in awe, seemingly transitioning into a more lighter mood.“Come, we don't have all the time to gaze.” Idris said after paying off the cab man.“What are we getting? A shrimp? No, no, we’re going to have seafood but definitely not shrimp…”“What are you doing?” Idris asked on turning. She was beside a car, staring at the car side mirror.“What does this look like in the 20th century, grandpa?” Idris couldn't believe his ears. He just exhaled and watched her makeup.“We call it making up, grandpa. One can never know who they will meet in a restaurant. Who said that?” “No idea? Well, it appears that grandpa isn't a big fan of romance.” She said, tying up the lower braids of her corporate shirt, revealing the lower part of her abdomen.“Denistole, hmm, that's who said it and I have always dreamed of meeting my man in a restaurant.”

Chapter fourteen; The liar and the Gardener
“Long time no see, bum” Larry, in his usual condescending manner, stretched his hand to reach for his shoulder but immediately returned it as if something stuck him.Indeed, something did. He wouldn't forget how fatal his jaw was the last time he saw Idris. He wouldn't try his luck even if it appears they're graced by the presence of other customers.Idris ignored him and turned to the pretty hostess, “Call your manager, please.” He demanded in an icy but placating tone.Hahahah!!!Larry's voice echoed in the six star luxurious restaurant. It was mocking as it was maniacal, drawing the attention of other customers.“Thi..is.. is..crazy man. Can you believe this bum turned comedian. This is ridiculous.” He cackled, trying very much to stop laughing.“Do you know him, babe?” One of his ladies asked, her voice laced with a mix of skepticism and condescension.“Do I know him? This ungrateful dude used to be my gardener.” He giggled, “He wasn't even qualified to be my gardener. Just me he

The male customers, young and old alike were smitten and could barely hide their amazement.The ladies on the other hands were either intimidated or jealous while some stood in awe and envied her physical deposition.She ambled towards them with grace.
