It's been four days... Four whole days and all I've gotten so far are fake leads on how to locate him
Shitty people with crazy infos... Nothing solid, nothing important
I even took a whole day to roam around Lagos but I spent half the whole day, stuck in traffic and covered in dust
The next day I went to a car dealer with Mr Ibrahim and got myself a Lexus jeep... Mr Ibrahim's face was quite scary but I didn't give a shit
I bought the car, collected all necessary documents... The ones left mr Ibrahim would work on it
He keeps asking me when I'll be returning to LA, I told him i will leave whenever I feel like but that wasn't good enough for him.. And that's obviously not anytime soon so he is stuck with me... I haven't even achieve what I came here for
So I decided to hire a private investigator to help me track him and I was told that he's currently not in Lagos and he is having a party meeting in Abuja
I was sitting in the room with my iPad, when my phone rang and it was my private investigator.. I excused myself and walked to the balcony to take the phone call
"Hello.... Mr detective, I've been expecting your call all day.. What's up, any good news for me "
"Good evening ma..am sorry about that,. Have been busy with the work at hand ma'am "
"Yeah.. Good, Coz that's what I paid you for, Go on.. Am listening "
"So Mr Jackson is still at Abuja.. He'll be back by Monday but I did get some info about his... uhm wife.. She's in Lagos and she is a guest speaker at a women's conference in muson centre right here in Lagos "
"Muson centre.. That sounds familiar.... So its a women's conference..... How can I attend "
"Basically You have to be part of a group... Because it is an empowerment program.. So market women and their kinds are the general public.. "
"Do I look like a market woman to you "
"Exactly where am driving at.. If you are not in the general public.. You have to be known by someone "
"How do we get that done.. "
"That's The problem, We only have limited time.. It's tomorrow "
"Hey mister! I need to be at that conference.. Do what you have to do "
"I'll see to that... Miss"
"Thank You very much.. I really appreciate.... I'll be expecting a feedback before the end of the day "
I hung up
The next morning was a burst, I woke up pretty late and then I had to spend a great amount of time picking a dress.. I left the house by 11 and with the help of Google I got to the Muson centre after an hour..
The hall was beautifully decorated, and filled to the brim with women, on the high table were different classy women..
After I showed the usher my tag she ushered me to the high table.. I definitely wasn't expecting that..
Well done.. Mr detective, You did an awesome job
Soon Juliet Jackson walked in getting a clapping ovation from the host as her presence was annouced..
She looked really beautiful.. In her gold dress and heels , I recognized the lady trailing behind her as the one i met at the eatery the other day..
Now I remember I heard the Muson centre from her
They were sitting just a few rolls before me... She was at the main table while I was behind her in one of rolls lined up behind
The process was long and endless..
Most of the women couldn't express themselves in English so they needed a translator
Juliet's speech was elaborate... Not definite.. Because I can see that most people didn't understand all her big grammars and phonetics
Gifts and provisions were offered to every needy woman in the room... It was a long exhausting program but at least the women had smiles on their faces at the end of the program
When I notice they were about to leave I moved quickly to the lobby and when they were approaching.. I made my move on the assistant
"Ohhh hi babe... "
I gave her a hug that she wasn't expecting and held a huge smile
"Hello to you too"
"You remember me... " I whispered
"Of course I do"... She smiled back
While we exchanged pleasantries I notice Juliet was staring at us awkwardly.. Waiting for an introduction..... Ladies ego.. She wouldnt want her to omit the introduction... So I helped her
"Ohh hi... Wonderful wonderful speech back there.. I really connected. Thank you so much for giving those women hope "
"Yeah thank you.. " she smiled, the fakest that ever existed
"Uhhh ma.. This is uhm"
Shit, she doesn't know my name
"Hi Mrs Jackson... Am Genesis Brown a friend of Victoria "
"Genesis... Huh.. Nice to meet you "
"The pleasure is all mine, its an honor.. Do you mind if I take a picture "
"Yeah sure "
I smiled pulled out my iPhone and took quick selfies
"Thank You so much "
Not to push my luck I turned my attention to Victoria while other women occupied Victoria
"You look gorgeous.. Victoria.. I envy your makeup artist "
"I actually do it myself "
"No way..... Wait did you do your madam's "
"Nah... She has her own makeup artist "
"You dont say... And it totally looks shaddy"
I said as we walked out of the hall
"You think so too"
"Totally.... Everything was cool, the makeup not so much "
"I told her this but she never listens just because the lady is her friend doesn't mean she's good at what she does...... Juliet never listens "
"They find it difficult to listen to their assistant "
"Now... You get me babe.. Like totally get me... That's the hell I go through and she's smiling and putting on an happy face like she did all the work "
"Heyy don't let the heat get to you... You will be fine "
"Thanks babe ... I appreciate,, what's the name again "
"Genesis "
"Genesis..... Really "
"Yeah... "
"I like your spirit... I should totally get your number "
"Yes You should.. We're friends now "
We exchanged numbers and hugged before going our separate ways
