“How are you Lekan?” The lawyer asked again.Lekan paused just after he stepped into the house.Now, something was not adding up anymore. He was sure lawyer Awopegba had asked that question I totally. And he responded to it.What was up with hearing it again?Was there more to it than met the eye?He grimaced, slightly turning his head over his shoulder. His eyes met the staring gaze of Awopegba and for a minute, both of them were locked in each eye.Lekan broke it shortly after as he turned away. One step forward and he headed to the dining table. It felt better to go there rather than to the sitting couches in the room. Something about being comfortable in them. After all, when he came to himself in the first place, he found himself there. Not on those couches.The lawyer followed after him, leaving Favor to attend to the door. Her face was filed with questions. She wanted to know a lot of what was going on. The way they looked at each other and they way they communicated with one
“I’m so sorry, Baby. I was worried about him. You know, the way he was drained yesterday. Oh my God.” She panicked. “Have you taken the meds that I assigned for you, Favor? And I hope you rested enough in the house? You’re not supposed to jump all about if you just had your blood donated, you know.” She frowned deeper now.“Ehhh…” Favor grimaced, twisting her face as she moved to the side to glare at Lekan.The sight of this was funny. It evokes a smile on Dr Mays face and the face of the lawyer. “Alright. Mister Lawyer.” She said. “Mum would like to know what you are doing in here!” “What?” Dr May sighed, budding her daughter now. “Oh, don’t mind her. But whatever it is, can it wait? Lekan needs to recover fully.” “I think so. He looks way too stressed for someone of his age group, you know.” Mr Awopegba agreed, dropping to bend into the face of Lekan.The latter looked away, smiling just a bit. A blush popped on his cheeks as he realized just how they were fussing about him.“I am
As Lekan left the living room, the remaining audience were left in mild shock. They stared at each other, words vanishing from their lips. And of course, nothing they would have said while have made up for the attitude in the air. Nothing at all.The lawyer, Mr Awopegba frowned just lightly as he squinted after the leaving shadow of Lekan. He wanted to say something but on second thoughts, he stopped himself. Not like the words were there. He was actually out of things to say.Never in his career had he come across someone like this. Never for once had he had anyone like this.It was either the boy had more regard for the properties which was left in his name or he just did not care. That was it. Stuck between the two reasons was the actual thing why he acted this way.After all, who would just wake up one day and hand their resources to just anyone? This was someone who he hardly knew. And he was sure, it was barely 24hours since he got himself back.Then again, what did it matter?
SHWAAAAA!The shower worked continuously, raining down many drops of water on the head of Lekan. He sighed, placing his hands against the tiled bathroom wall. “Hey, hurry up.” Favor’s impatient voice broke in on his thoughts.He grimaced at the sound of it, then relaxed later into a smile. With his hands on his nearly bald head, he heaved, then took the towel and dried himself up.He’d been in there for some while. Almost enough to have made him classify as a girl. At least, there was the common ideology that ladies took more time in the bathroom. Which if it was generally true, then his staying so long would have made him one. “Yes, just get out of there.” He called out.The next thing that accompanied his statement was a hiss. A rather loud one. Although through it, he could pick out faint traces of amusement.Was she not planning to leave the room in the first place? He shook his head at this thought.This was the same Favor who looked and seemed very innocent. To think she’d h
Lekan was dumbfounded at the response from her. He was not used to being in a setting with a girl like this. After all, he attended a boarding school,, which meant that for most of his time, he spent it with others of his own gender. Even when Blessing invited him to her house, it wasn't like this. She knew when to let him be and when to pressure him into being friendly and playing with her. Was this her attempt at making him play with her? He wanted to play along with her, but then, he remembered she could take this the wrong way. And if she took the wrong way,then there would be no stopping her. He would not be able to get her off of him. Which was clearly not the result that he wanted. ‘WhAt do you want? Is this anyway to treat your guests?” he smirked, unable to stop himself from doing that now. Favor blinked at him, holding her hands to her chest now. She pouted, appearing to look very hurt. Like as if she had just being scolded. And it was not something which was fami
Temari Corporations was a huge building made up of a combination of towers. Each of the three towers being conjoined by the rows of walkways at various levels. The central tower was tall enough, more than the rest of the towers. It called for attention with the sparkling glass casing over the walls. The lights at the top of the building which read the name of the corporation were on even though it was mid day already. It shows how very little they cared about the cost of light in the running expense. It was something Lekan could relate to. He did have a father who could care less about these things. Whatever was necessary to run things were afforded in his family. It was the one truth he had come to know. It was hence no surprise to him that his father's company will follow this rule as well. It was his first time, though. And he took the liberty of time to soak in the sights of the building. They called to him, telling him that someday, this would be his. In his memories, he
It was a silent ride in the elevator as the company of four rode up. They were going to the office complex when the actual meeting would be held between the top level executives. This would be the place where the declaration of Doctor May Erebosa as his legal executor would take place. Although the decision would be sure to bring some mixed reactions among the people. After all, none would have anticipated that someone who was not a member of the board. Neither eaaa a family relative by any connection be the one to take over but this doctor who only got lucky for helping him out.n Helping him out to heal which was her own duty according to the oat she took when becoming a doctor. It would be absurd to their ears and the uncertainty of it brought a dead calm to the people inside the elevator. Lekan sighed, resting his head against the side of the elevator now. He had his hands in his pocket while he looked up and then downward,his mind darting all about the lace. This was the fir
DING! The sound of the elevator coming to a stop jarred everyone from the multiple thoughts in their head. Lekan stretched his hands, using that as a means to get her off of him. Favor grumbled almost inaudibly now as she adjusted, standing on her own. Dr May smiled at this. To think that the one who she just saved some days back, the same boy who was rather strange would be the one to be so close to her daughter was amazing to her. It was why she did not even bother to caution Favor for the way she was glued to him. Though most of the actions seemed rather inappropriate. Like the time when she tried to spy on him. However, she let it slide being that it was like ages before Favor found someone who she would be so attached to. She sighed now, as the thought of the day where lekan would have come to her mind. What would Favor make of it then? Would she be able to cope if he leaves? What would be so here and her character after then? “Greetings, Young Master!” The man at the
