EPISODE 3
Val’s side of the story continues
Clara and Vivian chatted endlessly as we headed
back to the President’s lodge from the airport. I
simply focused on my driving while listening to
all they discussed. I was  really enjoying my job
and Clara wasn’t really as troublesome as they
painted her to be.
In no time we got to our destination without any
issue. Of course I was happy. I passed the first
stage of my job very easily.
‘’hey Clara, please I will like to be with you when
ever you are leaving the house to keep your
company. All you have to do is just to notify me
on time. So let’s exchange phone numbers
please’’ I begged as we got out of the car. She
silently stared at me for a while before throwing
a quick look at Vivian who shrugged. There
wasn’t any doubt she was trying to make out
the reason for my gesture.
‘’come on, you have done pretty much enough
by picking me up at the airport. I’m very much
fine by myself. I really don’t need anyone to
watch over me. I can give you my phone number
but I clearly don’t need your protection or
company, whatever you call it. Okay?’’ she
answered with a smile while I scoffed.
‘’jeez I wasn’t talking about protection. I have
nothing much doing and I’m always bored. So
the best thing you can do for me is to take me
with you whenever you are leaving the house so
that I can at least have a breath of fresh air’’ I
pushed on. She rolled her eyes and smiled once
more.
‘’so you mean you have no job or something?’’
she asked.
‘’yes things are very hard in this country. It’s
been two years I left school yet no good job is
forthcoming and that’s really why I’m here.
Perhaps your dad could help me out if he sees
how close we are’’ I answered faintly. For the
first time, Clara looked at me with pity in her
eyes. She drew close and held my hand.
‘’it’s very hard to see an honest guy these days.
Fine I will always take you with me wherever I
go. Relax, I will force my old man to get
something for you’’ she promised, exchanged
numbers with me and headed to the mansion
with Vivian. I swallowed hard as I watched the
two ladies disappear. I really felt very bad lying
to her but then I did it to protect her. I was only
doing my job.

The rest of the evening was very uneventful as
Clara spent the evening with her family while I
rested in my room wondering how the next day
would be like. However at exactly 9:05pm,
Vivian showed up at my room, surprising me
with her presence.
I quickly sat up thinking that I was in for
another assignment but she smiled and sat at
the edge of the bed.
‘’hmmm relax, I only came to check on you’’ she
breathed, flashing her charming smile on me..

***Vivian’s side of the story****
I really wasn’t fond of guys because of the nasty
experience I had with them right from high
school to University.  I
still kept my resentment and distance from
them. Yes my decision to stay away from guys
caused me less stress, less worries and less
thinking. I loved my independence and surely
was enjoying every bit of it. Moreover the power
and attention I got from being the President’s
niece was equally enough to bring up my pride
and ego. I enjoyed being the center of attraction
and gossip. Of course I had numerous admirers.
I had lots of rich suitor’s coming for me but
none of them won my heart because all I saw in
their eyes was desperation, greed and business. I
needed someone who would love everything
about me and not what he stood to benefit from
me. I needed nothing but pure and simple love.
In fact I needed a simple guy who had ambitions
devoid of greed and deception.
From the moment I saw agent Val that fateful
Saturday, I instantly was drawn to him without
really knowing the reason. Maybe because he
somehow looked like my immediate senior
brother or maybe because of the innocent look
he had which I had never seen in any agent. I
liked him, I wanted to be his friend and I just
couldn’t help myself but the only problem I had
was that he looked way too serious like
someone scared of playing with his job. I had to
find a way to make him loosen up with me
without making it obvious that I was falling for
him.
I had to make my way to his room when I
couldn’t control my feelings any longer. But
don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t in his room to
seduce him but just to keep him company for a
while.
Any problem with that?
