In fact, I've gone to an academy to begin with a pay of N10,000 till I find a better job and during my free time I will go out and hustle being the man; I saw some Brick layers working on a site which I know that if I can join them, I will get some stipend.

He muttered.

[MWAH]

Lilly: Baby!, you have really punished me for a very long time, I can't cope! (Giggled).
Fred: I was only being facade as well lil, I was not myself either. I thought you'd wanna come back for payback.
