Song of the chapter: Starving by Hailey Steinfield

"Why do you always have to work?" Abena grumbled, looking at Tobi who had been engrossed in his laptop and phone ever since they boarded the plane.
"Well, technically, I already left everything to my second in command but I can't help but worry. I was ranked second richest man yesterday Abena. I have to make sure it stayed that way." He replied, giving her a smug smile.
"Your second in command, you trust him?" Abena asked.
"Yes. This isn't the first time I'm leaving him in charge. And nothing bad ever happens." Tobi furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"Good." She chirped and before he could protest, she shut his laptop and pulled it away from him, the she took the phone and put it with the laptop in his laptop bag.
"How long are we staying?" She asked, ignoring the surprised look he was giving her.
"A week." He said slowly, still confused.
"Good. Within this week, I don't want to see you touch this laptop, use your phone for work, answer emails, or even look at your laptop. No work allowed." She wagged her index finger at him.
"Yes ma'am." He smirked.
"Are you sure it's safe for me to fly?" Abena asked. This wasn't her first time on a plane. When her father was alive, they travelled a lot. She sighed.
She had forgotten what luxury felt like.
"Well I got doctors and nurses on the plane sha." She lifted an eyebrow. "What? I'm always prepared."
"Of course you are. Now I'm bored jare. Entertain me." She smiled.
"Well, how about we get to know each other? Since we're going to be together, I won't mind knowing the little things." He replied.
Her heart warmed up at the word 'together', and she smiled broadly at him.
"Okay." She shrugged. "Sha keep your pervert side away from me."
He laughed, shaking his head at her words.
"Your favorite colour?" She asked him.
"Uhhm, I don't know actually. Why have a favourite colour, when you're too busy making billions?" He smirked and she rolled her eyes.
"Oh God. Your ego is so big, this plane might crash because of its size. You should really tone it down a little." She teased.
"Whatever." He waved his hand at her. "Whats your favorite colour? Pink? Purple?"
"Yellow." She shrugged.
"Thats such a... bright colour. Your lucky number?"
"5. You?"
"One billion."
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" He said defensively. "It's a very lucky number."
"I don't know how you make money, honestly, it's like your brain twitches sometimes." She joked and he feigned hurt.
"You just broke my heart. You have to fix it up." He replied, with a very serious expression that made Abena laugh.
"Well nurse Abena would write up a prescription immediately." She said, playing along.
"Does this, pretence, come with a nurse outfit. I won't mind ordering one of those sexy nurse outfits for you. I'm sure you'll look really good in it, even with the baby." He wiggled his eyebrows.
