episode 9

Deric came back and pleaded with

After much ado, She deleted them right in front of Deric and promised never to tell chioma's husband about it.

However, she had earlier sent the images to her email and Deric was unaware of this.

Deric made the payment to the bank, and promised to take her out for dinner later in the evening.

Having been feeling a little under the weather, she decided to call off sick at 5am this morning.

Charlotte : (📱📱📱📱📱📱)

Deric: who are you ringing?

Charlotte : my manager. Oh! Hello, Mr Adrian. Good morning and sorry to wake you up

Mr Adrian: is everything okay with you?

Charlotte: Yes. Well, not really.

Mr Adrian: what's the matter?

Charlotte: I don't feel well at all so I can't come to work today.

Mr Adrian: that's absolutely fine. Do you want me to send the company's driver to take you to the hospital?

Charlotte: no, my husband will do so this morning. Thanks.

Mr Adrian: brilliant! then don't worry about work until you are back on your feet. Doesn't matter how long it takes

Charlotte: Thanks. I'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully.

Mr Adrian: take care of yourself. Bye.

Chioma: bye!

(At 9am Chioma got ready and told Deric that she was going to the hospital. Deric offered to drop him but she declined with reasons that she would go to the salon after and Deric does not like waiting around the salon. He thinks the salon environment is too "womanish " (whatever that means)

She got into the car, using her hands-free, she started calling Nina as she drove off)

Nina: You kept me waiting!

Charlotte: I'm sorry, you know I had to be a bit slow to match my claims of being unwell. But I am on my way.

Nina: did you get the address of his company?

Charlotte: Yes. But I am not sure we would be let in. I did look it up on the internet and their security is one of the best. Apparently, you cannot see him without an appointment

Nina: let's try first! Please don't start with this weakling attitude of yours!

Charlotte: I'll see you in 10 minutes

Nina: Bye!

(Charlotte picked Nina up and they made their way to Mr Ambrose's company and straight to the reception )

Charlotte: Good morning. My name is Peru, can I see Mr Ambrose, please?

Receptionist: good morning. May I see your appointment letter, Please?

Charlotte: I do not have one. But I have an important message for him. A very important message.

Receptionist: I'm afraid madam, we cannot let you in without an appointment letter. Sorry

Nina: (loudly) we are telling you that your manager's life is at stake and you are more concerned with policies and procedures??? What kind of a receptionist are You!!!

This is insane!

We are reputable ladies just doing this for our love for the family unit!

We run a charity that is channelled towards restoring peace and harmony to the family unit.

Receptionist: it doesn't matter. I will not let you in without an appointment letter. Not even at gun point.

If you are all you claim, common sense would have told you to book an appointment prior! If you found your way down here, you can find us on the internet.

If you wish to pick up one of our cards, feel free to do so and book an appointment for the next available date! (Telephone rings)

Receptionist: hello, sir

Mr Ambrose: I can see two ladies through the CCTV. What do they want and what are they arguing about?

Receptionist: they are here to see you with no appointment letters. They claim they are here with an important message for you.

Mr Ambrose: get them to go through security and let them in. One at a time.

Receptionist: alright, sir.

(Charlotte and Nina went through security checks and Charlotte was allowed to go in first while Nina waited at the reception)

Mr Ambrose: Good morning, young lady. How may I help You?

Charlotte: I think the question should be, how may I help You. You see, We are from a charity called 'Save The Family Unit' and we have discovered that your family is about to crumble and we want to work with you to avert that.

Mr Ambrose: I would appreciate if you go straight to the point as I do not have the time to chase you around the bush as you beat about the bush.

You have two minutes. Use it!

Charlotte: your wife is cheating on you, with someone he claims was his classmate in London.

Mr Ambrose: anything else you have to say? You have one minute.

Charlotte: We have pictures here. Would you like to see them?

Mr Ambrose: no thanks. That should be it. You may now leave.

Charlotte: don't you want to see the pictures?

Mr Ambrose: I was clear enough when I said No! Get out or I get someone to assist you out!

Charlotte: well, then!
