RAY and their NEW EMPLOYEE lay on the COUCH hungrily kissing and caressing each other. The TELEPHONE on his GLASS DESK rings, he tries to ignore it but the persistence ringing makes him take it.
RAY
Hello! Bimbo, what’s it?
BIMBO
Sir, the chairman is here, he’s just arrived and on his way upstairs.
RAY
What!
…He re-adjusts his tie and hurries the young woman to dress up.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
…walks in the reception room.
BIMBO
Good morning, sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Hello Bimbo, how’re you?
BIMBO
Fine, thank you sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Right. Hope the MD is in?
BIMBO
Yes sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA

RAY
So, Miss Deola, study these accounts and… oh! Good morning sir! You’re welcomed.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Ray, please sit down. How’re you?
RAY
I’m doing well, all thanks to you, sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
So, how’s the company doing?
RAY
No problems at all sir, we’re doing quite well, we’ve got some new multinational accounts to audit.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Impressive! Good to hear that.
…Takes a quick look at the young woman there.
RAY
Sir, that’s our new chief accountant, Miss Deola, meet Chief Fiberisima, the chairman of this great accounting firm.

RAY
So, Miss Deola, take these accounts, study them properly and get back to me.
DEOLA
Yes sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Ray, honestly, I’m highly impressed with the professionalism you apply in running this place. I wish I had a decent young man like you as a son not that Casanova son of mine.
RAY
Thank you sir but I’m still like a son to you.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
I know, I know.

100. INT DAN’S OFFICE. DAY
The DUO OF KEN and DAN sitting in the LATTER’S OFFICE discussing over a BUSINESS PROPOSAL and other things.
DAN
You mean, you really want to sell off that mansion?
KEN
Yea! It’s in Victoria Island and you know I don’t live there neither does anybody.
DAN
I know ken but you can lease it for a couple of years instead of outright sale. You, might actually need it in the future, you know?
KEN
I don’t think so, man! I’m quite comfortable with my house in Ikoyi and I don’t think I ever want to live in V.I
DAN
Ken, are you sure there’s something that you’re not telling me?
KEN
You see man! I intend buying one of those houses in Beverly Hills, you advertised in the papers recently so I just want to sell off one of my property here to augment what I have; you understand my point?
DAN
Ken! What do you intend to do with such a massive house? For Christ sake, each of those houses is well over seventy-five million us- dollars.
KEN
I know and that’s why I need it, it befits my class.
DAN
Ken, I will advise you as your attorney to invest your wealth in stocks and bonds in the States or Swiss than buying a mansion in Beverly Hills; you might not get immediate returns of the investment or revenue accruing regularly from it. Just…..
KEN
Dan, please, I’m not here for investment advice, I only want you as my lawyer to put up my building for sale and tell me the terms of payment for the Beverly Hills’ house.
DAN
Well since that’s what you want, I will have to make available the papers for you on Wednesday on my way to church for evening fellowship.
KEN
Dan, I think you’re beginning to take this thing to far.
DAN
How do you mean?
KEN
Must you eat and drink church because you want some girl? Come on man! You’re far too big for this kind of silly game.
DAN
On the contrary ken, I’m not going to church because of any girl whatsoever but because I have found a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I want you to do so as well because that’s the greatest joy any one can have here, on earth.
KEN
Dan, you’re sick upstairs, you need to go see a Psychiatrist!
He storms out.
…to be continued.
