Careless Whispers

37

Lola just stared at her blankly when she told her her plans.

What? She definitely think she was going crazy right? But Obi didn't allow her to talk her out of it. No she was going to go against Harrison through every line and she had a strong mind that he would yield at the end of it all.

The day ran out, Lola went to her house while she sat tiredly at the back of the car while George and Ebuka occupied the front seats. She was planning everything carefully in her head as she watched the evening sun through the window screen.

1.Drill Nick to tell her remaining of her brother's plan

2. Leave Harrison's house

3. Never come back there and if possible avoid him at all cost. Then the wedding episode will be over

They all sounded lame to her but she would give it a try.

She was not going to allow Harrison take charge of her life, thus, she would make him go through hell before he have an upper hand. The lightning adorning the mansion came into view as George steered the vehicle into the drive way. Soon he pulled through the gate and she hopped down quickly, muttering a thanks to them. She could see the light inside was on, Nick must be home. Carefully she opened the door and entered. She could hear someone or something in the kitchen as she trod along across the marbled floor.

"Nick." She called out but no response. "I'm home!"

Well, she was going to dish her mind that he knew what his brother has been up to and he kept hiding it. Let the first plan on the list set into motion.

"Nick!"

Dropping her purse on the chair, she made her way to the kitchen. Only God knows what he's been up to that he did not answer her.

"Don't tell me you are preparing any surprise din...." The sentence died on her lips as two bulging eyes stared back at her shockingly.

A woman. A beautiful chubby woman holding a plate and saviette in her hands looked back at her with shock written on her face. She looked older and her skin was dark and firm. Was it someone from Harrison's Family? His aunt? Or worse... his mom! Obi's eyes glanced around her to observe some food containers packed on the kitchen island. They were so much that Obi wondered who she might be.

"Madam"

"Huh? ...evening ... who are you?" she asked walking into the kitchen slowly.

"my name na Sarah." Sarah dropped the things on the cabinet to wipe her hands nervously on her flay gown.

"Sarah..." Obi drawled.

"ha...I be cook." She managed a nervous smile. "I shock say person enter and I know no when you enter. Abeg no vex"

That explained it. Obi returned her smile immediately and she went over to things on the island. "You prepared all these? How come I've not been seeing you?"

"Yes madam. Na every 3 weeks I dey come with stock. Person no plenty for house so I no dey come everyday."

"Egusi, boiled spinach, oh....you even brought snails."

Sarah nodded. "Na Oga Nick say make I prepare arm, especially for the madam of the house. I know no say the madam fine pass mammy, I for prepare plenty plenty snail."

That got Obi laughing heartily. Meeting Sarah in short minutes, she was already loving the woman. Sizing her shyly with her eyes, she looked like someone in her mid thirties. "Who talk say I be madam of the house? Since when you dey work for Harrison?"

"e no tey(it is not long), 2 years now, e tough small because that man talk say make I no allow people sabi who he be. He dey pay me well well." She quickly added. "Na oga Harrison tell me say you be madam of the house Ma."
