Daniel didn’t say more since he was only a friend to the Chimas and not a family member. Perhaps the most important reason was that card Louisa had torn.
‘Water,’Chioma requested for water.
Immediately, Daniel filled a disposable cup with warm water and handed it over to her. ‘You don’t look well. Are you okay?’
Chioma lifted her head and looked at Chioma, remaining silent as she took the cup of water. She seems to be in deep thoughts.
‘If you want to tell me to help you explain things to Audrey, I will gladly do it.’
‘But she’s upset.’ Holding the cup of water, Chioma said slowly. ‘What if she doesn’t listen to you?’
‘Why not?’
‘I’m afraid everything is turning into a mess. I might not be able to handle all of it.’
‘It’s okay. I am here as well as Chisom and Andrew…’
Chioma nodded, and then drank the water as if it gave her the strength to fight the battle that was brewing before her.
Michael finished an almost three hours meeting, and immediately Robert drove him to the airport since he needed to catch a flight to Port Harcourt.
‘Sir Michael, since I won’t be following you to Port Harcourt, this is the contract you’ll be signing with the governor of Rivers State during your meeting with him this evening. Here are the documents. I know you have been having sleepless nights, but I wish you take a detailed look at these documents while in the plane.’
‘I know my job and how to do it well.’
‘The food in first-class is really delicious, I hope you grab a bite.’
