Episode 11

MICHAEL: As much as you hate to admit it, Benny I know you ainā€™t happy, you do everything for your sister, yet she treat you like garbage, no respect, I overheard you guys yesterday when you were talking, she was so rude, I didnā€™t want you to feel embarrass so I left.

She break free from the hug and stare at him for a while.

BENITA: It is wrong to want my sister to be happy? To give her the live our parents could not give us? She has really hurt me but I try not to take it to her, sometimes I go to the comfort of our parents grave to tell them how badly my sister is treating me, some time I feel stupid doing it but there is always this comfort that follows me back home.

MICHAEL: (he pulled her closer and kissed her forehead before hugging her) donā€™t worry, your laugh will come last.

The rest of the night wasnā€™t lively, benita was mostly silent not knowing what to say or do around her boss, she had been shocked when her boss kissed her, she had not imagined it, she has never felt that close to any man before, the peck was new, she only saw it in movies, but it does feel great. Then she asked her own question too not minding her place for once.

BENITA: So sir, tell me about yourself, why did you become rough and naughty?

MICHAEL: (he smiled) I donā€™t know really, should I say is friends? No I canā€™t say that because whatever we do is our choice. I am the only child of the jameson, money wasnā€™t my problem, girlā€™s were always around me because of the money, so I gave them cash and took advantage of them too.

BENITA: (she nodded her head like she understand) so what happened? I mean what transform you to this new version?

MICHAEL: Nothing, I saw no gain in it, and sometime ago a friend of mine died so sudden and he was just like me, he did so many bad things, in fact he died right on top of a woman, so I sat myself down and reasoned, where would he be going to? Would his name be in that golden book of life? The answers were all no, so I changed my ways.

BENITA: Oh thatā€™s so bad, may his soul rest in peace. I really donā€™t believe in redemption after death, but I hope God have mercy on his soul.

MICHAEL: (he smiled) amen, for a girl who didnā€™t finish her nursery it surprising how you can speak so well?

BENITA: I do take lessons, I havenā€™t gone since you came but I will be resuming by Monday.

MICHAEL: Thatā€™s good. So how are you coping there?

BENITA: It been great, and Iā€™m really having fun there.
