When she got to the door, she opened the door and entered the room. She could see Luca sleeping on the bed; the youngster spread his legs and occupied the whole space of the bed meant for a maximum of three people. Peyton gazed at Luca for about 12 minutes and walked in the direction of the standing fan. She reduced the speed of the fan, used a blanket to cover Luca’s body and moved out of the room. She walked to the sitting room and sat down. After sitting for about 3 minutes, she got bored. “Margaret! Margaret!” Peyton said. “Yes, aunt! I am coming!” Margaret said from the kitchen. With no hesitation, Margaret placed the knife she was using to cut okras on the table and walked to the sitting room. “I am here, aunt,” Margaret said as she walked in the direction of Peyton’s couch. “What are you doing?

When she reached the kitchen, she washed the plates and cups, she put them inside a tray and carried the tray to the dining room. She placed the plates and cups on the table and walked back to the kitchen holding the tray with her left her. She put a little soup inside a plate and covered the plate, she also put some yam flour paste inside the plate and carried the plate to the dining room. However, after about 5 minutes, she was through with the table setting; she walked back to the sitting room. “I have set the table, aunt…,” Margaret said as she walked to the sitting room. “What kept you so long?” Peyton said. “I couldn’t carry all the plates and cups at a time, so I had to do it gradually,” Margaret said, and sat down. “It’s okay,” Peyton said. The gangsters walked to the sitting room an

He walked to the direction of the door and knocked. “Open this door!” Charles said. “Hold on, uncle,” Margaret said as she could recognize Charles’ voice. Margaret walked to the direction of the door and opened the door. She took two steps backwards. “Come back here, Margaret. There are some microwave ovens inside the car boot; go and bring them in one after the other,” Charles said. “Alright, uncle Charles,” Margaret said and walked out of the sitting room. Charles walked to the sitting room and sat down close to Peyton on the same couch. “When will this film end? It is quite long,” Charles said as he gazed at the television screen. “It’s an episodic film, Charles,” Peyton said. “I see,” Charles said. Margaret walked into the sitting room carrying a microwave ov

The car hooted and one of the security guards opened the gate. The car moved out through the gate. “Mason, Ayla would have missed you,” Evelyn said from the front seat after Mrs. Anthony had driven the car for about 5 minutes. “I miss her too and want to see her,” Mason said from the back seat. “Mason, Ayla and Landon send their regards to you and Evelyn often,” Mrs. Anthony said as the car made a U-turn. “That’s nice of the youngsters!” Evelyn said. “I am quite disappointed in Landon. He made me go through these messes,” Mason said grimly. “There you go again. You caused everything and you ought not to blame others. The juvenile couldn’t behold how you maltreated me,” Evelyn said, and turned her neck backwards. “You are right, Evelyn. I am sorry

He was dressed up in a white suit, a tie, a golden wrist watch, a pair of white shoes, a pair of non-recommended eye glasses and he was clutching his briefcase with his right hand. When Professor MacPherson got to the sitting room, he saw Ayla already sitting on one of the couches. Professor MacPherson dropped his briefcase on the table and sat down beside Ayla on the couch. “Good morning, dad,” Ayla said. “Good morning, Ayla; and how was your night?” professor MacPherson said. “It was fine; how about yours, dad?” Ayla said. “It was also fine. Have you brushed your teeth?” professor MacPherson said. “Yes, I have done that, dad,” Ayla said. “That’s good. I received a phone call from Evelyn last night,” professor MacPherson said. “A call? What did Mrs. Evelyn say?” Ayla said curiously.

❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Aubrey and the youngsters constellated around the dining table. Aubrey dished out fried rice and beef to everyone. “Pray for us, Davies,” Aubrey said after she had dished out the last plateful of rice. Davies prayed and everyone constellating around the dining table masticated his or her food. As they masticated their food, the dining room was very silent, as if they were already conversant with table ethics. With the speed they used in carrying a spoonful of rice, one could easily tell that the food was delicious. Ethan was the first to empty his plate. “Do you need more fried rice?” Aubrey said with gestures. “No, mum; I am satisfied,” Ethan said. “It’s alright,” Aubrey said and carried her last spoonful of rice. “Sadie, you know we are going out very soon and you are eating majestically. You better clear off the rice now,” Aubrey said as she gazed at Sadie’s plate. “Okay, mum,” Sadie said amid the rice

She walked back to where the car was parked, she pulled the door, carried the bag from a seat and closed the door. She sauntered back in Aubrey’s direction. On the wall of the building was the inscription “Diamond Plaza.” The plaza had several shops, about 15 of them, with different inscriptions at the top regions of their pitheads. Some of these inscriptions were “Grocery Store”, “Medicine Store”, “Bar”, “Stationery Store”, “Bakery”, “Unisex Clothing Store”, “Art Studio”, “Cafeteria” and a host of others.
