Barely thirty minutes after Kwame hanged up on his sister did he hear the door to his office open.
" But brother, it will be my birthday soon, can you please buy it for me as a pre birthday gift. Pretty please." she whined.
" Your birthday was six months ago " he said coldly without raising his head from the document he was reading.
" It wasn't, it is rather six months from now."
" Looks like I have to send you back to the mansion. Mom and dad haven't lectured you enough on lying."
Hearing his words, Ama kept quiet as she blamed heavens for giving her such a heartless brother.
" Can you at least buy it for me. I actually want to give it to my friend as a surprise gift. Her birthday is tomorr......" before she could finish her well planned lie, four heavily built men came in and she heard her brother's voice order them.
" Send her to the mansion and make sure she is thoroughly lectured about lying."
"Yes boss" They said simultaneously before asking her rather nicely to cooperate. She knew at this juncture that if she begged her stone of a brother who had no emotions, it would be useless so she walked with them gently.
When she left, a thought suddenly struck Kwame and he raised his head.
He remembered the voice of consultant 'Y' and compared it to that of the lady who had threatened him and surprisingly, they matched. A small smile subconsciously crept on his lips as he called his P.A into the office.
He has a personal secretary who only briefed him and his daily meetings and brought in the necessary documents and his daily coffee and he had his personal assistant, who worked on things that wasn't related to the office.
" CEO Ankomah" Selorm's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
" Search up who consultant 'Y' is" He ordered in his usual cold and emotionless voice.
Selorm was surprised by Kwame's sudden interest in the consultant. Though he knew that the was very little chance they would find out who that was, he didn't voice out his thoughts and nodded before excusing himself.

Ama was released from the Ankomah mansion two weeks later where she had to listen to her parent's constant nagging about lying and also about find herself a suitable marriage partner. She was fuming mad, her elder brother who was five years older than her did not even have a girlfriend, they did not pressure him and they where already nagging her about marriage, well she couldn't blame them, her brother was literally a block of freezing ice.
She very much pitied his future wife, did that poor soul really have to put up with a man who had never smiled in his life, one who's face and voice is always devoid of any emotions and expressions, that is even if he will have one. She doubted if God created his other half.
Subconsciously, she had entered her car and had told the chauffeur to drive to her Yaa's resident.
Since she more or less had nothing to do for the day, she spent half of they day there before she visited her other friends and headed to her condo.
Soon it was already the next day. Yaa had told her grandfather that she would be out of the country for a month and she wanted to forget about the incident that had happened at her sister's birthday when in reality she was headed abroad for a business.
Her grandfather who already wanted to find a way to take her on a vacation bought her excuse without any suspicion.
Since her flight was scheduled for two in the afternoon, she left for the airport at one o'clock.
Coincidentally, Kwame also had a flight scheduled at the same time. Initially, he had wanted to use his private jet but since it was out of service, he had no other choice but to board a public plane. Since he didn't want any disturbance, he had bought a ticket for the first class.
He also arrived thirty minutes to the scheduled time.
Time passed and finally, the A.I at the airport announced for those who where boarding her flight to go on board since it was going to fly anytime soon. When she got to her seat, she found out that someone had already occupied and she reported to a nearby air hostess.
The hostess acknowledged her and told her to wait before she headed outside. She returned two minutes later and apologized before explaining that the seats where all occupied and since it was a mistake on their behalf, they had offered her a seat in the first class department. Since it was an important meeting, she didn't deny and agreed to the arrangement.
After they had come to an agreement, the two went their separate ways with one heading towards the first class department while the other returned to work.

Kwame was typing on his laptop when Yaa entered, since they both didn't expect each other's presence, they looked at each other before they turned their faces and acted like they where not present at all.
Soon, the plane took off and the air hostess who Yaa had talked to earlier came to them with snacks. Since Yaa was not really hungry at that point, she requested a banana smoothie and a bag of chips. The air hostess turned to Kwame before she left for a few minutes. Since none of them spoke, the place was dead pin silent but they didn't seem to care.
The air hostess came in and told both of them that only one banana smoothie was left and since the both requested for it, one had to give it up and give it to the other.
Yaa who was crazy about banana smoothie and a foodie at heart was not willing to give it up.
" I will have it" they both said simultaneously and glared at each other. Since Kwame was used to having everything his way, he thought that Yaa would give up the smoothie since he was someone who was feared everywhere he went.
Unbeknownst to him, Yaa didn't even know who he was. The air hostess shivered since both of them had very powerful and imposing auras, she couldn't help but feel tensed. After three minutes of staring at each other intensely, Yaa again said she would be taking it but Kwame wasn't burnt on giving it up either.
After some time, the air hostess was becoming increasingly tensed so she quickly told both of them that she made a mistake and that there was no banana smoothie at all before she escaped.
When she left Yaa cursed Kwame with all the filthy words she could find out loud before she wachted her favorite TV show on the mini tablet provided by the air service ignoring Kwame as if he never existed leaving Kwame speechless since she was the first person who dared insult him to his face without any fear.
