Ken pushed his laptop away and stood up when he heard the sound of his doorbell.

He had not stepped out of his apartment since he woke up that morning. He had just showered and decided to pass the time by watching a movie, as he was in a foul mood after his misunderstanding with Ella the previous evening. 

He opened the door and walked away when he saw it was Ella. She quickly reached for his hand to hold him back from leaving.

"Don't be like that, nau. I'm sorry," Ella said apologetically. 

Judging by how beautiful she looked and the fine ankara gown and high-heeled sandals she was wearing, he could tell she was just returning from church.

"How was service?" He asked, not wanting to talk about what had transpired between them the previous night.

He still felt very offended by her unwarranted accusation and insults and had only wanted to clear the air on his end before leaving. Hence, he had called Jessica.
