Adora hurried the crowded streets of Lagos, her mind racing with thoughts of the interview she was about to conduct. As a journalist for one of the city's leading newspapers, she was always on the look out for stories that could make a difference. Today, she was meeting a source who promised to reveal something big. Lost in her big thoughts, Adora didn't notice the man standing in her path until it was late. She collided with him, sending her papers flying.
"I'm so sorry! "she exclaimed, bending down to gather things"
" No harm done", the man replied with a smile,helping her pick up the scattered documents. ' I'm Chike, by the way".
"Adora ", she said,looking up and meeting his eyes,there was something about him that made her heart skip a beat.
They exchanged a few more pleasantries before parting ways,but Adora couldn't shake the feeling that their encounter was more than just a coincidence.
Later that day, as she prepared for her interview Adora glanced at the file on her desk. The name of the person she was about to investigate stared back at her : Chike Okafor.
