All of you are very stupid, stupid police officers, I need to tell the county commissioner that we need replacement of the police...!
She said then walked to the taxi that was still waiting for her. Then entered as she commanded the driver to take her back home.
When she arrived at home, she was very angry that she failed to convice the police officer to allow her see Mr Mukhongo.
She was angry at herself that despite the fact that she had money to bribe them. Her money didn't work this time. She didn't want to think of the possibility of herself entering the jail if she fails to talk to Mr Mukhongo.
She wanted to discuss with him, how she can get him out of the prison. She regretted that she acted out of emotions and left the gun in his wardrobe and letter directed the police officer so that he can be arrested.
'I don't know what I am going to do if he decides to tell the police too,' she thought as she sat lazily on the couch.
'Who will take over the company if I get arrested now?, I will have to inform my son so that he can stop studying and come back in the country. Anyway why is he studying yet he has everything that he needs. Money is everything to me. Money is the language of my world since the day I stepped on this world,' she thought as she gazed into space.

After eating Fufu and okra soup that Chioma their maid had prepared for them for the first time. Paul with Mike were silently studying for the exams. It was their first exam that was going to determine if he will continues studying the same course or he will have to change.
He stopped reading and looked at Mike and asked, "Are you scared about tomorrow?" Paul asked after studying for thirty minutes.
"No I am not scared, why should I it's not like it's the first time I will be doing an examination," Mike replied.
"Atleast you are in the safe side, I am scared because I don't want to disappoint my mother. You know she is the one who have forced me to come here and do my undergraduate degree in Films," Paul said.
"You don't have to worry you have done several exams during your schooling. I think this exam is just to determine how far you have understoond the course so you don't have to worry," Mike said.
"I wish I was in your position, you have no one to worry about disappointing. As for me my mother will be mad at me if I fail this course. I think I will have to call her and inform her to be prepared for anything," Paul said.
"As expected, always a Mama's boy, when are you going to start thinking on your own?. You are a grown up man, your mother won't quarrell you. She will understand that maybe your were missing your girlfriend or something," Mike said Jokingly then chuckled at the end.
"Not my girlfriend but my wife!" Paul said.
"So Slyvia is your wife now?" Mike asked.
"I am not talking about that imbecile woman. I am talking about my woman. I am talking about Ivana, I think I will call my mother now. I will ask her about my wife and tell her about tomorrow's exams," Paul said as he walked to where he had left his mobile phone.
Before he could take it, it started to vibrate and when she checked It was his mother calling. He smiled then said to Mike," I think my mother was thinking about me,just like I was."
He received the call then walked to the bedroom so that he can talk to her privately and also he didn't want to make noise for Mike who was studying seriously.
"Hello mum, how are you doing?. I was about to call you just now but I am glad that you called first," Paul said with a smile on his lips and happiness filled tone.
"Hello son, I am fine I am just missing you," Mrs Wechuli replied according to the mood and tone Paul had started the conversation with.
"Mum are you okày?, you are talking like someone who is stressed or something. What's up? You can tell me anything,you know that we always have each other's back," he said.
"How is my voice,? I didn't know that my stress will be evident in my voice. Paul we have a problem," Mrs Wechuli said.
"A problem?" He sat upright on the bed as he asked. "What is it mum?, tell me and let's think a solution together,"Paul said.
"I want you to come back here in the country and take over the chairman position," She said.
"But mum, I am yet to finish my studies. You know that it will take five years before I am done. Why is the position vacant?, Yet it was occupied."
"Paul we already have everything, we have money. Why are you studying?come and take over the chairman position this is an order not a request," Mrs Wechuli said with finality.
"Mum, are you serious? Like are you okay. This is the first time you are talking to me in this manner. Remember you are the one who forced me to come and study. I told you that I already know how to manage Business but you said that I needed knowledge in films. I told you that I can study in the country but you refused and decided to send me out of the country to study. What's up to you now?" Paul explained to her.
"I know what is best for you, you better listen to me Paul I am your mother," Mrs Wechuli said.
"I am sorry mum, but no please I won't make it. Wait a minute, what happened to the person who was the chairman. You told me Mr Mukhongo was the one who was holding that position. Where did he go?"
