Good afternoon sir. She said bowing down to greet her boss.
Come right in, Tunde you can leave now, thank you. (Mr Leonard shuts the door and locked it with the key)
Why did he lock up the door? She thought to herself.
Do you want to eat or drink anything? He asked
No sir, just water will be fine sir.
Ok no problem.
He picked up his phone to call room service.
Hello.
Hello, Good day sir, what do you need sir?
I need a glass of water, alongside a bottle of wine.
Which wine will you prefer sir?
Is anyone fine? He replied and ended the call.
Abigail, feel free.
Be comfortable, How is Mama’s health now?
She is doing fine sir, we give all glory to God. She replied.
He stood up and walked towards a table at a corner in the hotel room.
He opened a brief case and took out a folder and a laptop.
I walked back to the bed. Come sit here, I will be showing you some videos, watch it very carefully and I want nothing but the truth.
He played her a clip from the CCTV in the house, the other day when her boss's best friend was trying really hard to sleep with her in his room.
She was shocked, how did he get this video.
She went on her knees immediately, sir it's not what it looks like sir,I can explain sir
For how long has all this been going on under my roof, so he chases you around the house just to get you in bed with him, for how long has this s****l harassment been going on in my house?? He asked angrily.
It happened twice sir, he has been trying really hard to sleep with me sir, but I promise you sir, I declined.
I didn't give in to his s****l advances, I am very sorry sir.
So while all of this was going on, you didn't think of mentioning it to me.
I am very sorry sir, I just didn't know what your reaction or reply would be, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you that your best friend has been sexually harassing me around the house. She replied.
Ok, so how were you going to stop him alone without involving me?
I have no idea honestly sir, I was just hoping he won't repeat it again.
Okay, what else do I need to know?
What else has been going on in my house behind my back that I'm not aware of?
About the other day that he reported the broken picture glass frame, he knew about it for a while before that day, but he took it as an opportunity to blackmail me into sleeping with him.
So if I didn't figure out about all of this from the hidden CCTV camera in the house, were you even planning to tell me about it at all.
To be honest sir, I don't plan to, I just wanted to avoid him till he travels back to Canada by weekend.
Next time such a repeat itself, if he ever harasses you round the house again, or tries to threaten you or blackmail you, make sure to let me know about it. You shouldn't be silent about things like that.
What if he r***s you if he gets the chance to, so next time speak up about it, is that understood?
Yes sir, no problem sir, thank you very much for everything sir.
It's fine, You remember I said I have a favor to ask in return for paying for your mother's surgery fee.
Yes sir, I remember sir.
What do you need me to do for you sir, I will definitely do it for you as much as it is within my power to do it.
I see how hardworking and dedicated you are with your job, how well you manage all the chores in the house every single day, How you take good care of the kids like they are your children, the kids have bonded so well with you, They enjoy having you around, the short while you traveled for your mother's surgery, they keep asking of you everyday, they seem to love their “Dear Aunty Abigail” so much than even I their father.how do you do it?
I love my job and I do my job the best way I can and make sure to create a very interesting and enjoyable working environment That's all sir. She replied.
That's good, I like that
So I want to give you an offer that can change the rest of ur life for good, A deal that will make u say goodbye to lack and poverty, I want to offer you a contract that will change ur family.
That's if you're ready to read through and work in terms with my conditions. He said calmly.
I still don't understand you clearly sir.
Let me break it down a bit for you.
I want you to have a contract marriage with me for the next two years qnd I will pay you a whooping sum of twenty-five million naira once you agree to go into the marriage contract.
We sign the contract and after two years you get another twenty five million naira, this is me offering you a lifetime opportunity to be multimillionaire overnight.
Abigail was lost in thoughts, she couldn't believe her ears, 50 million naira just like that just to be his wife and a good mother to his children.
She read through the contract carefully.
Sir this is a very difficult one, I know the money is a whole lot but this is you asking me to put my whole life on hold,my dreams, my relationship,my goals in life on hold to be Married to you for the next two years, what do I tell my mom? My family people in the village might probably not approve of it sir. She replied
Don't bother yourself about your family people in the village, we will do the needful, pay your bride price in full and have a traditional marriage at the village, all you have to
do right now is to arrange to the marriage agreement for two years and sign the contract.
