KADIRI
Wakes up and looks through the window.
MRS. KADIRI
Daddy, who’s that driving in at this ungodly hour?
KADIRI
Who else if not that foolish boy called Collins.
MRS. KADIRI
Why is that boy such a nuisance?
KADIRI
He’s actually giving us headache in this house; I really have to ask them to vacate my apartment.
MRS. KADIRI
Daddy, that will certainly affect his friend and you know he is such a nice boy; he’s not rough like Collins.
KADIRI
That’s true, anyway, let’s try and catch some sleep before the day breaks.

KADIRI
Good morning my son, how’re you?
JEFF
I’m fine, thank you sir.
KADIRI
Is your friend still around or has he gone to work?
JEFF
He’s still in bed sir.
KADIRI
All right.
JEFF
Hope no problem sir?
KADIRI
I had wanted to see him but I changed my mind instead you see me when you return from work this evening.
JEFF
I hope everything is all right sir?
KADIRI
That’s why I want to see you before it really gets out of hand.
JEFF
Sir, I will come as soon as I return from work.

Do so in your best interest.

63. INT, SWIFT COMMUNICATIONS.
In the CONFERENCE ROOM of the COMPANY, the MD/CEO and other DIRECTORS CONVENE for a BOARD meeting.
MR BEN
Mr. Ken bluntly refused to accept our offer and the only alternative we have now is to quickly get another good creative and brand management company as his to sell our new corporate image and services before we crash out of the market.
AKANDE
It still beats my imagination that Mr. Ken deliberately refused to honour our negotiation despite the pleading we made to him.
MISS OSONDU
Well, Mr. Akande, that shouldn’t bother you right now, what we should be talking about here, is the way forward.
MRS. WILLIAMS
Way forward indeed! Do you sincerely want the progress of this company, Miss Osondu? After all, all you desire is its ruin.
MISS OSONDU
I take a serious exception to such statement please watch your tongue.
MRS. WILLIAMS
And what if I don’t what will you do?
BEN
Enough! Enough! Women! I’m sick and tired of you both confronting each other any time we have a serious matter to tackle. Please I don’t want any more of such nonsense here do I make myself clear?
…to be continued.
