Please will you teach me, I really need to learn.” He said firmly.Elena’s eyes shone in confusion, she watched the exchange of silence between her father and Jason. Her gaze flickers between Jason and his father as she weighs the gravity of what Jason has spilled out.“Please, Zachary. Like you said things happen for a reason and I believe meeting you was for a good reason.

“Elena, please help me get them something to drink.” Jason politely requested.Elena moved out of the room to get them something to wet their throat while they listened to what Jason had to spill out.

Jessica was in her room, she was exhausted and acting sluggish. She couldn’t shake the feeling running through her mind.She had already arranged her dress for her dinner date with Lawrence Nelson but she wasn’t willing to go out. Just then the door creaked open and her brother strides inside with a serious demeanour.He was shocked to see his sister in her pyjamas and her top and moved towards her with his face etched with worries.“Why are you not dressed yet,” he vehemently asked. “Ain’t you going out with Lawrence Nelson again, don’t tell me you changed your mind.” He said, giving her a cold stare.Jessica sighed in frustration, with her face buried downward. “I… I don’t think I can go anymore.” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.“What do you mean by that, Jessica?

Can’t you hear me? What is the problem.” She asked.The caller was struggling with his word but he summoned the courage to inform her what was happening. “Madam, the police have been trying to track the owner of the truck. They have been questioning everyone at the truck parked to know who owns it.” “What,” she exclaimed, she used her hand to cover her mouth.“Where are you and what did you tell them,” she asked.“Madam, I didn’t use my truck.

You and your man should not spill out anything to anyone, it should be
