Paul walk up very late the next day, he had heard that the Wechuli Logistics Company was on sale. He switched of his phone after calling Mike and informing him that he will pay him a visit.
What he was not sure of was if his employees were given a notice. Since his mother was the one in charge of selling it, he distanced himself with it. So he had switched of his phone because he didn't want to be bothered by calls from his employees. Wanting to confirm if it's true the company is on sale.
So he took a bath and after dressing up casually he went downstairs probably to take breakfast. As usual his mother was drinking wine.
"Good morning mum? How was your night. Mum! This time of the day you are already taking wine?" Paul exclaimed as he saw a glass of wine in er hands.
"Hey son, one question at a time okay, Good morning to son,My night was good as always. Why are you dressed casually like that, I thought you are leaving for the company?" Mrs Wechuli asked as he swirled the glass of wine.
"You have forgotten to answer one of my question mum. Why are you taking wine instead of tea?"
"Oh,even the bible says that a little wine is good for your health" she said nonchalantly.
"Exactly mum, little wine,Not too much wine" Paul said to her.
"Yes what's wrong with me taking little wine."bshe said without fear of contradiction.
"Will you please stop being ironical, yesterday you drunk wine before eating supper. Now here you have just waken up and the first thing was taking wine not tea or coffee or even blended juice or Milk" Paul said as he pulled the dining chair and sat.
"I was just waiting for you son so that we can take breakfast together. You know it have been long since we took breakfast as a family. Now that Ivana is not here" Mrs Wechuli mentioned Ivana intentionally to see the reaction of his son, but Paul was clever enough to ignore it.
"Okay then mum, come and sit here, oya go and bring us breakfast" Paul said as he ordered the maid around.
Mrs Wechuli went and sat at the dining table the tea was served for them. Since she was not used to taking tea in the morning she was taking it slowly. Something that Paul noticed , she tried changing his attention by asking him the question she had asked before.
"Son I asked you, are you not going to work?" She asked.
"Mum, it's good when we be honest to each other.You convinced me to go to Nigeria and study Filming and acting. I thought that you will just take some money from the logistics company and letter develop it when Luhyahood company start operating well. Tell me mum how can I go to work when the company is up for sale? What will I tell my employees?" He asked as he looked directly in his mother's eyes.
Mrs Wechuli was scared with the way Paul was looking at her. She thought that Paul's eyes will be able to see the truth that was long buried in her soul.
"Who told you those lies son? I ...
"Mum! Just stop it, I have know problem with you selling the company. As you said all you do, you are doing for my own benefit. So I have decided to distance myself from the company, because I am preparing to leave for Nigeria as soon as possible."
"Son, I thought that you are going to let the employees know?" She said surprised.
"No mum, I have left the company in your hands now. If you don't mind I am going to see my friend Mike. I need his help, bye for now mum, take care and don't take too much wine" Paul said as he stood and exited the house.
Now that he was just going to visit his friend he opted to drive himself. The driver checked the car he was using if it was in a good condition with enough fuel. He didn't bwant the car breaking down in the middle of the road.
He entered his car, the less expensive one in his car collection or parking lot. Mercedes c300 and left for Paul place.
Mrs Wechuli watched him as he drove out of the gate. She thought that Paul had no idea that the Logistics Company was on sale.She wanted Paul to deal with his employees for breaching the contract now that they didn't give them the notice earlier. Now that she had already sold the company she will have to compensate them.
Paul arrived at Mike's place, since he had already informed Mike that he will be dropping by he found him relaxing in his one bedroom house.
"Hey mehn how have been?"Mike asked when Paul entered the house
"Always fine, but just stressed abit." Paul said as he greated him a black American style of greeting.
"Everyman has his own stress you are not the oy one mehn" Mike said as he chuckled softly. "Why are you not in the office?"
"That's the reason why I am here mehn,I need your help mike." Paul said as he scratched his head not knowing how to tell him."Mike I am leaving for Nigeria in the next two weeks and I want you to accompany me" Paul said faster out if nervousness.
"Hahaaa, stop pulling my leg right now. Are you serious Paul? One minute you are upset and in the club drinking, the next minute you are in the hospital. After a short time you are back to work then now you are telling me that you are leaving in Nigeria?" Mike narrated every event that have happened to Paul in the past four days.
"Mike I am serious, I am leaving in the next two weeks and I want you to go with me. The thing is I am going back to school.....
