📷CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE📷

Amanda went on with her normal routine, but that morning was slightly different. Amanda had just got back from her morning run, she was about going to change out of her sweaty clothes and take a cool shower when she heard a distracting news on her TV set.

“One Miss Sarah Bright was found dead in her apartment on Tuesday morning by one of her neighbor who said she came by to return the cooler she had borrowed from Sarah. The neighbor, Mrs. Gift Sylva, had told the reporters that she met the door open, and like she normally did, she walked in and found Sarah lying dead on living room floor. That was when she called the police. Today, the police says: the result came out negative; they still haven’t been able to find out the cause of Sarah's death." A newswoman reported.

“No way!” Amanda exclaimed. Shocked to hear that Sarah was dead just after she had an encounter with her. She wondered how Wright Junior would be fairing after hearing he sad news.

She quickly rushed her shower and make-up, rolled her hair up in a bun and dressed in the easiest office wear she could find n her closet. Amanda hurried back into the living room, grabbed  her phone, car key and left for work.

“Ideas, I need ideas!” Wright junior yelled, snapping his fingers at the six employees in the conference room, who were part of his team working on Fredrick Walsh new Book and were seated.

“Sir, how about we get him to do Oprah?” Kendall the white, chubby, thick beard dude suggested. Looking at the others “I mean, we may love reading books and working on books but, there is a whole world out there that are career occupied, penniless and see reading as a complete waste of time. They need someone who they can trust to say, hey, stop watching those boring and unedifying network, read a book. Read a live changing, family enhancing book. And that person is OPRAH.” He said making a funny gesture with his hands which made the rest of the team laugh. Including the tensed editor in chief.

“Wow, Kendall I’m impressed. How did you come about this idea?” Wright Junior asked.

Amanda opened the door to see if there was anyone in the room and when she confirmed that the team were in, she walked in.

“You know, I’m pretty smart and I know you would have thought of a similar thing like that too.”  Kendall hyped himself, feeling really proud.

“Uh, uh.” Wright Junior replied shaking his head as he tried to control his laughter. The others also tried but couldn’t bear It any longer. They all slapped on each other’s back and laughed causing the previously proud Kendall to feel a little inadequate.

Wright Junior looked at the door and signaled Amanda to sit on the empty seat next to Chris, the good looking Artist, who s lost in what he was designing  on his laptop in front of him.

“Hey, what are you working on?” Amanda asked Chris after she had taken her sit.

“I'm trying to figure out a good cover design for Fredrick’s book.” Chris replied without lifting up his head.

“Wow, this one is awesome.” Amanda complimented, pointing at his laptop screen.

“Thanks. It’s still a work in progress though.” He told her and now meeting Amanda's beautiful face with a smile.

“Ok fine!” Kendall yelled “I got it from the movie THE PROPOSAL. I gave it my own twist so it's not exactly how Sandra Bullock said it in the movie.”
