Episode 8

“Oh it was, I got a better offer’’
“Same company?”

“Yes, they opened a construction and designing
company here, it’s also a consultation firm plus
it’s into supplies for schools which includes
uniforms, books and all things schools, in fact
the company is going into other commodities
that people might need. So they needed
someone who knew the area and had lived here
for some time so my name popped up, they
gave me the position of manager, which means I
get to oversee everything here and everyone
reports to me, plus I get my salary doubled and
the best part? Pops gave me the house, you
know they moved permanently out of state to the
light city of angels like you used to call it?
Anyways 
 here I am. I couldn’t possibly refuse
that sweet offer”

“D–n!!’’ Zack whistles “Your family is already rich, that’s one and you get this sweet offer really? God loves you son”

“He loves you too’’
‘’No he loves you son, congrats man. You want to go out and celebrate?”

Sean scratches his head “You know celebrating
with you means booze, drugs and girls?“
‘Well, it’s good to have your best friend know
you through and through”

“Well nice but
 no drugs, come on men, you
need to grow up”

“Okay drinks and girls”
“Aren’t you in a relationship Zachary, that
Christie girl?”

He rolls his eyes “That was months ago, I am
with Viona now but, I dumped her last week“
“Dude!“

“Hey look at who is talking,how about Tasha
Williams, that hot model you talked about?’
Sean steps into the living room and falls into a
seat “She A-ight”

Zachary follows him ‘‘That she A-ight kinda
sounds bland. I thought you were looking to
propose?”

‘‘I was. I am but
look she is great and all but,
she is all materialistic”

“All girls are materialistic”
“True, but at least show you love me more than
my money, she is like a trophy wife or girlfriend,
flashy all there and everywhere”
“So you want someone who is in the background
and nowhere?” Zachary seats opposite him and
sqÂŁÂŁzes his face

‘’No! look we had a fight the other day and it
was because she wanted me to buy her a car”
“So buy her a car, you can afford it”
“I got her one for her birthday two months ago,
so I buy her another one because she wants it?
This is her third car in two years man. The other
one was on her birthday last year and now for
this year and now in two months she wants
another? Its ridiculous, I can afford it but still, it
doesn’t mean I don’t have other things I need to do
 I would definitely give my wife everything
she wants. See I give her all that she wants but I
have to be sensible.. do I want a wife who is
concerned in spending and spending and not
thinking about the future? No”

“Okay, so break it off with her”
“Can’t”

“Why?’’
“Because she can be sweet and great too”
“Then curb her expenses”

‘I am, that’s why we fight more than we make
love”

Zackary laughs “Sorry bro”
“Nah, its fine. Look, I got a list of schools I am
supposed to do some supplies to, I just want to
take a look at them, since I am the one in
charge, I have to go around to check out all the
projects we have started, but first with the
schools, you want to come with?”

“Erm sure, by the way, this house is too huge
for you to stay alone, need a roommate?”Z
achary winks

“Nope, not a three legged roommate sir” Sean
play-punches his friend and gets up, he grabs
his jacket, keys and a file on his desk

“So, where to first?”
“The first on the list is GreenVille Heights, they
need all uniforms replaced, their last order was
under-standard and they had a huge complain,
that first and the others would be a breeze
through.

“Okay, drive away”


“I am sorry about the inconveniences madam , I
would put my best team on it, we should have
the first orders in less than four weeks”

“Thank you so much Mr Sean” The elderly lady
is smiling “The other man was a tad impatient,
we had parents wanting to chew us up”
“Don’t worry Ma’am, before the end of the month they would be smiling” he says thanking her and taking his leave.

It was break time apparently because the bell
went off and kids ran out of their classrooms
heading to different directions

“Grrrhhh, I hate kids” Zackary says
“Yes, little troubles they are” Sean says walking down the hall “But they are quite lovely” he is smiling as two boys ran down the hall

“Well, I ain’t having them, “
Sean laughs “Oh don’t be dramatic okay” He
says turning to notice a crowd of children
running to the field

“I wonder what they are up to” Zackary says
following Sean’s eyes

“Let’s go to the other schools you have to
cover“

“Yes, let’s go’’
They get into the car and began pulling away,
apparently the kids were fighting over a bag of
ball and as soon as they got one, they began to
run and scream about.. he laughs shaking his
head, he didn’t see the little girl trying to cross
to the other side to pick her ball..
Someone screams, he steps on the brakes
immediately.

“S–t!!!” he exclaims jumping out of the car..
“Fxxk !Did you see the little devil that just ran
past?” Zachary says jumping out too, Sean
bends to look under the car, his heart beating
fast. he heard someone scream, he saw a small
form..but where did he/she go
Nothing.

His car had climbed a ball and flattened it.
He turns when he sees the child sobbing at the
corner, he rushes to her..

“Are you okay, are you hurt?’’ he bends to look at the child, she was crying, he scans her body.

Thank God, No bruises !
The child shakes her head ..

“then why you crying?’’
“My ball” she points at car, then points at him
“You ruined it”

“I am sorry, I will get you a new one okay, I
promise”
Silence

“I promise okay?”
She nods her head cleaning her eyes
“What’s your name?”
“Kikina, but mummy says not to talk with
strangers “ she says
Sean Smiles “Let’s go find your mummy shall
we?’’

Kiki nods standing up, he gives her his hand and
walks back towards the entrance of the hall
“The little devil’’ Zackary exclaims looking at her and the car, thanking God Sean didn’t hit her.

Sean was thankful he didn’t, he was just going
to give her to her mum, get her a new ball and
leave.
