A fight for love

Harrison

Harrison and his family sat around the large dining table as the maids served dinner. I heard that the government of Nigeria wants to privatize the electricity sector; his wife Esther Harrison spoke. I heard too; Harrison replied munching his food. What do you think about it? Isn't this an opportunity we have been waiting for; Esther said not satisfied with her husband's response.

Yes, I have also thought about it. I believe the government will go a long way in granting my request; Oh my, I can't stop thanking God for blessing us; Esther said crossing her hand in her chest excitedly. How about we leave it to Barry;

I haven't bought it yet and you are making plans. Barry is too young to handle a company he will have to learn;

Father, at 23 you are saying am too young. What of those young CEOs at 18; Barry queried.

Since when did you start to show interest in the business; Harrison asked his son. Father, I have long been only that you never saw it coming;

Father, how about me; Lizzie asked

You would make a good lawyer. I will help you establish your firm once you are done with your studies. The reason you need to study hard; he emphasized. Father would always tell us how important education is. I am tired of this s**t. I will read to becoming a barrister just to make him happy. It would also be to the company's advantage. There would be no need to hire a lawyer while I am available to defend any case.

Father, I would be going back to school tomorrow, the holidays are over; I announced

Yeah, that would mean spending money; father snickered. If I don't educate you of what use are my wealth. The best legacy I can ever give to you is education; Father puffed

Sorry; I said hurrying with a cup of water

Table manners, don't talk when eating; Mother said. But you started it; father said as we all chuckled.
