Rich: A Nigerian love story

Chapter Forty Two

*Mr. Makun*

I sipped my cup of coffee in my office, as I went through the comments about Teddy's latest video, it was quite interesting. Most people thought that Sophie is a Cardi B wanna be, while some said she was good, some wanted to make her their wife and the lost goes on.

I sighed deeply and shook my head at the situation, this isn't what I wanted for her, I wanted her to have a quiet life, a peaceful one at that. But she choose otherwise and now she has people who would stalk her every move. The door opened and Mimi walked in,

"Hey baby," she singed as she opened her hands widely, she wrapped them around me as she kisses me on the cheek.

She sat beside me on the couch, and started caressing my head, I looked at her with a smile. She wore a maroon short gown and a cream colour plump, she looked beautiful.

"Hey, you look nice as always, I didn't know you were back" I said and she just smiled

"That's because I wanted to surprise you my love," she replied

"I see " I said

"Yeah"

"So how was your trip?" I asked, she breathed out deeply,

"Exhausting"

"I'm sorry about that" I said as I took her hand in mine.

"Thank you baby" she said and I stared at her, "What is the matter?" she asked, I shrugged

"I just remembered something" I said

"What is it?"

"You wanted to tell me something, before you travelled, what was that?" I asked and she remembered.

"Oh yes, uhm.. I don't know, maybe we should just let it be" she said,

"Oh come on, just tell me, I want to know" I insisted,

"okay"

"Go on"

"Well it's about Sophie"

"And what about her?" I asked

"I'm a little worried for her that's all" she said, I chuckled

"You, worried for Sophie" I said, unable to believe my ears, "Did you hit your head or something?" I asked while chuckling.

"Of course not, and I don't understand, what are you trying to say? That I don't care about her?" she asked sounding annoyed she removed her hand from mine.

"Of course not, I'm just saying that I'm a little surprised that's all. We all know that you both don't get along that well" I said

"Well I do my best babe, but you know your daughter, she can be so hard headed. She doesn't even give me a chance to come close to her" she said, what a lier.

"Hmm, I understand and you don't have to worry yourself about her, she's fine" I said while lightly squeezing her hand reassuringly.

"No you don't understand, that husband of her's is a phony, he's a gold digger. I know what I'm saying," she said and I stood up to get some water from the fridge.

"I hope you know that my daughter wouldn't take it lightly with you if she was to hear what you just said about her husband, and neither do I " I warned,

"Look babe, I know that man he's not as innocent as he claims to be, I'm really worried for Sophie you know. He's a player, a cheat, a big fraud and we shouldn't forget that he even lied to her about being rich and all that" she said, as she walked towards me, she was now standing in front of me.
