PROLOGUE
My family was very poor, I was the oldest girl in the family, I had just passed my SSCE and I was attending Jamb lesson with the hope of getting admission. My father died in a car accident and my mother was working as a part-time housemaid for a few houses around the area, whenever she was needed, she could not even earn enough money for the family's basic needs to survive and pay the rent.
Around the corner from our house, a small tailor shop owned and run by an older man, Kelvin who was in his forties, he owned a big apartment on the upper floors of the big building, and he dedicated part of the apartment to his shop, leaving enough space as a bedroom, living room and other needed areas for him to live in.
Kelvin was the only person who worked in his shop, he was designing and manufactured some custom-made clothing for high-class, rich people who wanted some rare, handmade clothes, they paid a lot for each piece, and also came from all over town for his special work, he was becoming famous among rich people for such type of special work.
Kelvin was a friend of my family, when he knew our financial situation, he offered mom to let me work at his shop, as a part-time job, offering a generous amount of money as my weekly pay, handing the money to mom at the end of each week, she used them for family support, which really solved most of the financial problems, along with what she made by working at nearby houses.
My job was mainly, cleaning and organizing the shop, helping Kelvin with many things here and there, I would help him take some measurements of some customers, even send the ready garments to the houses of some customers, or bring the raw material from other places, I have also taken care of his house needs as a maid.
