'Before I say yes or no, I must let you know certain things about me. I have a fiancée already.’

He laughed shortly over the line again. 'I expect that. But it shouldn't stop our friendship, should it?'

I sighed. 'I guess once we draw the lines and we know the boundary, it shouldn't.'

'Good, I'm happy to hear that. I'm happy to be your friend.'

'Okay, Tayo.'

'Yeah. Thanks again and goodnight.'

'Goodnight.'

The following day, about mid-day, I met a young man carrying a medium-sized Ghana-must-go bag in the lobby.

'Good afternoon, madam. Please I've come to see a lady by the name Madam Simi.'

'Any problem?'

'No, no problem. I was sent by my boss.'

I was all curious. 'Who's your boss?'

'Mr. Tayo Balogun.'

That must be the Tayo that had his birthday in the hotel the previous day.

'I'm Simi,' I informed him.

He broke into a smile. 'He said I should hand over this to you,' he said.

Now, what could this be? What could be inside the bag?

'This way, please.' I preceded him to my office.

'And what is in the bag?' I asked as soon as we entered my office.

'I don't know,' he answed.

I nodded. 'You have to open it and bring the contents out.'

He became indecisive. 'They're for you, ma'am,' he said.

'Yes, that's what you said. All the same, I want you to bring the things inside out.'

The guy opened the zip of the bag. The first items he brought out were two pairs of shoes. Next, he brought a pink evening dress, three female
shirts, a small metal box containing jewelry, a packet of Cartier watch and two bottles of exotic female perfume. All the items were brand new.

I was surprised by what I saw. Didn't I tell Tayo that I already had a serious relationship with somebody? Why did he go to the extent of buying
all these? What did he aim to achieve?

'Alright, please return them inside the bag.'

While the guy was doing this, I brought out my phone and called Tayo.

'Why did you buy all those things you bought?' I asked him as soon as he picked the call.

He laughed across the line. 'I just felt like giving them to you,' he said. 'After all, you're my friend.'

'You shouldn't have bothered,' I told him.

'It's not a bother,' he replied. 'A princess like you deserves all the good things she can get.'

'Anyway, thank you so much. I appreciate your gesture.'

'You're welcome, dear Simi.'

The line was cut. The guy had finished returning the items to the bag and had zipped it up.

'Okay, thank you,' I told him. 'Please say a big thank you to him on my behalf.'

'Okay.' He nodded and left the office. I sighed to myself, wondering what Tayo was trying to prove. I would not reject his gifts, but I would not give in to his implicit interest.

Later that evening, Mola sent his driver to bring me to his house. I noticed that his children were even friendlier, especially, Maryam, the girl.

'Daddy said he's going to marry you,' the girl said. 'Is it true?'

I smiled briefly. 'Yes, that's the plan.'

'That means you'll be my step mummy?'

'Yes, if God wishes it.'

The girl gave me a hug.

The following evening, when Tina came to spend the night in my room, she was surprised that another guy was seriously showing interest in me.

'He bought all these?' she exclaimed as she went through the items Tayo had given me.

'Yes, he did.'

'Hmn, I love the scent of this perfume.' She sniffed the scent of the Nina Ricci perfume.

'You can have one of them,' I said.

'And these shoes are fine.' She put on one of the pairs of shoes. 'It's actually my size.'

I nodded. 'You can have that one too.'

At the end of the day, Tina took about half of the items. I didn't mind sharing them with her.

'Make sure you get the best from him,' she said. 'The best is yet to come.'

I grinned but didn't say a t thing. There was no point I argue with her, but I knew I would not exploit Tayo or any other man.

With my good income and steady flow of other perks, I decided to call mummy and surprise her.

'Hello, mum, how's everything in Ibadan?'

'Things are fine here. What about there in Lagos?'

'Things are quite good,' I answered. 'Ehn, ehn, mummy, I want you to get a painter to paint that house. I believe it' high time we gave the place
a face-lift. Let the painter do the estimate and let me know the costs. I'll bear everything.'
