a car was parked at their gate and a man, thesame plump man that had delivered the letter alight and walked up to them.
'mr & mrs Joseph, I am special Agent samuel Emmanuel and the VP is expecting you'
He removed his identity card from his breast pocket and waved it at them. Henry weighed the flawless of the card before moving forward.
It was a black space bus and to be exact, Toyota Sienna. The glasses were tinted.
'sir, can you please sit at the back, we would be be picking up the Nicholas'
'sure'
Henry muttered while helping Linda in. He couldn't stop staring at her while they drove.
'stop staring Henry'
Linda whispered into his ears. He let out a laughed.
'i will prefer we bail this dinner, go back home and retire early for the night'
he whispered back.
'and have Tara and Mitch telling me the whole story? No, i won't miss the opportunity of meeting with the VP even though his son is a clod'
Henry gave up. Neither he nor Jordan want a part of this but the three women had insisted on going. While at work, Jordan had called Henry and the two decided to tolerate the VP but do teach his son a lesson if he showed no sign of remorse. You can't kiss another man's wife and go scott free.
The car stopped in front of the Nicholas mansion. Henry dialled Jordan informing him of their arrival. The Nicholas emerged from their house.
Tara in a black loose fitted strapless smart gown and Mitch looking elegant in a red sleeveless dress.
Tara and her husband sat infront of the Josephs while Mitch sat in front, with the driver. Linda observed that Tara's left wrist is still bandage.
They exchange greetings and had one or two chit chats while they drove. They got to their destination in no time.
Security they observed was tight but they were ushered in without any qualms.
'why is Henry gawking at you so?'
Tara asked her almost in a whisper.
'I should be asking you same question. Why is Jordan gawking at you so?'
Linda whispered. Tara instinctively shot a glance at her husband.
'are you doubting me?'
Linda asked.
'no i'm not. But i'm glad he is gawking at me'
the two women burst into laughter. Henry drew his wife to him and Jordan did same leaving Mitch alone.
'oh, who told me not fall inlove and get married?'
Linda said in feigned annoyance. The three woman laughed again.
The were ushered into an expensively polish living room. The sat down in wait for their host.
In less than five minutes, their host decended the stairs with his wife. They were both smiling. Their guest all went on their feet.
'welcome to my home. I'm pleased you made it here'
they all nodded. After the greetings and introductions were made, he invited them to the dining room.
They were served fried rice and sallad. They all ate quietly and Linda tried hard to not bother that Henry was staring at her almost throughout the meal. She drank more than her share of the very expensive wine.
After their meal, they were ushered to another room. A very private palour. The men talked a bit on politics and then Aaron swiftly changed the topic.
'my wife and I invited you here to apologize on behave of our son. What he did was inexcusable and i won't give you one'
'forcing a kiss from a married woman is intolerable'
Henry calmly added.
'Slapping and attacking innocent women should not go unpunished sir'
Jordan added.
Aaro gawked at them. Their presence took him aback. These are people who had growned up in money but they live responsible lives. He couldn't deny the fact that their parents did excellent jobs with them.
Another thing that suprised him was the unconditional love they shared among themselves. He had noticed how the husbands had been staring at their wives with lust and love. Even the siblings love their selves. The Josephs siblings and the Nicholas siblings.
His daughters dislike Terry. Who wouldn't? He was loath-some. He wished his children were this close. Aaron Martins fell in love with his five guests immediately. They were old enough to be his kids but he wanted to know them more and befriend them.
'I'm not talking to you as the vice president of Nigeria, but as a father who knew his son had wronged you and seek to make peace'
