***** Episode 10

Dave: (Yawn again) em... I'm with you lil. (He responded comfortably).

Lilly: Why do you love me so much?

Dave: (Smile vigorously) I...I.. don't know why I love you so much that not even any lady can.. and has taken your place in my heart lil. My mom persuaded me to marry someone else since you don't want me, but I insist.

Lilly: [Huh!, I think this is the exact time i'd tell him to take me to his family as his wife quickly]. Soliloquy.

Dave: I really love you lilly.

Lilly: (Reverent, she spoke in a romantic low voice) why don't we get marry sooner Dave, i mean we should start planning now since we love each other. She said fringing her hand over his beards.

Dave: (shocked, she has never open up her mouth to claim she loves me; did she love me or money?) He thought to himself).

Dave: (shake his head) Ah! This life

Beatrice: What? What happened? (She asked dropping her pen)

Dave: If you are a man in this world and you don't have money, you are as good as a dead. (He said shaking his head and clapping his hands)..

Beatrice: (smile)

Dave: This woman, she's my mom's sister and for years that i have no job, she'd never call me for once, now she called me to please give my brother which is her son, money, can you see life.

Beatrice: (Hiss) Are you surprised, that isn't new, it happens.

Dave: Can i ask you a question?

Beatrice: Feel free Dave.

Dave: why do you award me this job and even with special treatments and benefits?

Beatrice: (laughs) later. She said as she pick up her pen.

Dave: why not - - - now? (He asked as he stops typing folding his hands)..

Beatrice: Later Dave! (She replied still writing)

Dave: Alright.. Can i ask you another question?

Beatrice: Okay, but the last for now.

Dave: sure, thanks.

Beatrice: you're always welcome.

Dave: why are Clinton and kelvin always causing troubles in this company? If they don't fight you, then Linda or Akpan.

Beatrice: (laughs) why are you taking them serious?, the reason why i haven't spoken to my brother to discharge them is because of their impacts and professionalism. If not, I trust my brother. Even when they learnt that you secured the job, they fault me for rewarding you instead of their friend who if is rewarded... Oh my Gush.. I would prefer to relocate to another office... (Laughs)... But they are good when it comes to their works though. (She monologued still writing).

Dave: (Laughs) Clowns.

Beatrice: Later in the day, we will take a stroll to the nook so i can give you the reasons to your question.

Dave: Thank you so much Beatrice, for 6 years that i have being in search of work, i thought i was a jinx not until i met you. (Dave appreciated)

Beatrice: Dave, you haven't even know why i have done all these, you don't know the assignment i have for you to have awarded you with these, wait till we get to the nook.
