"Who told you it wasn't enough"

"Hannah just gave your food to Adetoun right in our presence" 

"I told her to do discreetly" 

"Cause she wears invisible cloak!" He snapped and she laughed, "Why are you getting angry now?" 

"I'll eat something else, you can take my food" 

"No" she shook her head, "It's the price you pay for cooking the food, sometimes Mom cooks and doesn't even eat when unexpected visitors come so... Even we the children don't eat so... I can sit this one out" 

"What if I share my food with you?"

Dara folded her hands, "That will only make me look pathetic"

Pamilerin walked in removing a plate from the dish drainer rack , "Aunty Dara?" He called out and she flashed a smile at him, "Hey dear, what's up?"

"Let's go, the food will get cold" "Um.... That's what I'm discussing with your dad because it's complicated"  she gesticulated with her hands and he held her by the hands, "I'll share my food with you"

"What? Was it that obvious. Now I'm ashamed" "I've swallowed my spit more times than I can count. Let's go before Ade comes in with Kelvin" he dragged her out and Mimi flashed a smile at Adetoun then she whispered to her. 

"I think we've just found a Mom for our babies" she pulled back now facing Dara.

"You didn't have to do that" Mimi said and Dara shut her eyes in shame.  "It's nothing, now I'm embarrassed" she covered her face and Funsho laughed returning back to his seat.
 

Pamilerin poured his rice into her plate while the others followed suit. 

"Can we now eat in peace?"  Mimi asked exhaling, "Let's pray first" Dara clasped her hands together.

Chief's driver alighted at the police station and he got walking into it. After exchanging pleasantries with some of the men there, he requested to know of Derin was around. 

"She didn't come back after she left yesterday" one of them answered then he requested to speak to the Boss. 

"(Mo dupe wipe ọ jẹ ipe mi botileje nkọ tete ranṣẹ sí ọI'll have to thank you for seeing me on such a short notice)" Chief began sounding as modest as possible. "É mase ìyọnu, kò sí wahala. Ki lo gbe é débi? (Don't bother Sir, there's no problem. What brought you here?)" 

"Derin. I requested for something and yesterday it appeared as though she had a breakthrough to who is siphoning money from the company, she called me to tell me she was on her way and since then. I haven't heard from her"

"Are you saying.... But Chief we haven't checked her house" 

"Is that not where I'm coming from? She's not there. Why will her number be switched off?"

"You have a point Sir. We shall try our possible best to see to it that we find her" "Eh," Chief pulled his ears, "Don't do me mago mago oh, one minute I'll be out of here and you guys will push the whole case under the rug" he warned and the DPO laughed. 

"No Sir, you are not just anybody Sir. We'll take it up as soon as possible"

"Have you spoken to your cousin yet?" Dara asked Shade after doing the dishes, "I don't feel like" "You should give it a try" she patted her on the back then Shade made way into her room letting out a loud sigh then she put a call through to Winny.
