84. INT. CAROL’S RES. DAY.
CAROL in her BEDROOM, getting READY for WORK then goes to her FLAT MATE/FRIEND’S to ask her for SOMETHING.
CAROL
Lola, good morning.
LOLA
Good morning, carol.
CAROL
Please, can I have a little of that your perfume?
LOLA
Still in bed and gradually turns.
Sure! It’s right there on my dressing table.
CAROL
Yea! I have seen it, thank you dear.
LOLA
You’re welcomed, but I thought you never liked it?
CAROL
It’s a bit masculine and right now, I don’t have a choice because mine is exhausted. By the way, why are you still in bed aren’t you going to work today?
LOLA
My sister, I don’t have a job anymore.
CAROL
I don’t understand you.
LOLA
I have been fired.
CAROL
Lola, you’re kidding, please get serious for God’s sake.
LOLA
I’m serious, Carol, I was fired because I refused to doctor an audit report.
CAROL
You actually mean that Ray fired you because you refused to dance to his tune?
LOLA
Exactly, perhaps it pays to do evil these days.
CAROL
Please don’t talk like that Lola, you did the right thing by refusing to soil your hand with iniquity and I strongly believe that the good Lord, who sees all our secret deeds will definitely justify your action and replenish whatever you’ve lost in seven fold.
LOLA
I pray so, my sister because right now, I can’t really bear the burden of being unemployed.
CAROL
Don’t worry, my dear, God in his infinite mercies will definitely answer your prayer but for Ray, I just pray, he realises what he’s getting himself into before it’s too late for him.

85. INT. SWIFT COMMUNICATIONS DAY.
In the exquisitely furnished OFFICE of the MD/CEO, he’s pacing around as he discusses with the DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
BEN
I don’t seem to like the presentation of that young man you brought to handle our branding.
MRS. WILLIAMS
Sir, you really don’t have to worry yourself about that, he will certainly deliver, he’s a core professional even better than Ken.
BEN
Well, I just hope I can believe you when you say that because I’m yet to see any branding artist that is better than Ken.
MRS. WILLIAMS
Ah-ah sir, do you mean, you don’t trust my judgment anymore?
BEN
I still do Mrs. Williams just that, it wouldn’t be palatable if after paying him the sum of one hundred and eighty million naira and he gives us crap.
MRS. WILLIAMS
I vouch for him sir, he wouldn’t.
BEN
I just hope so because if anything goes wrong with that, this company might not survive it.
MRS. WILLIAMS
Sir, I don’t know you to be a pessimist, why are you suddenly sounding like one?
BEN
I’m not Mr. Williams, just that I’m scared of losing such a huge amount of money to something inconsequential.
MRS WILLIAMS
Sir, fear kills; you really have to eliminate it from your body system.
BEN
Mrs. Williams, sometimes in life, you really need to fear to stay alive, you’ll come to learn that one day.
