"He's doing pretty well, Got 5stars again in his last assessment."

"Wow,that's great. I miss him already, i'd prolly come visit him soon."

"You're always welcome."George said and smirked

"Pearl! where have you... oh, Good day George." Rowena interjected

"Good day miss."

"I'm rowena, PA and Friend to Pearl here"

"Oh,Pearl you didn't tell me..."

"Yea,"Pearl cut in "I'm sorry meet my friend Rowena. Rowena meet George, Tracy's husband and the new manager of Queen farms."

"Wow,really he's your manager?"Rowena exclaimed.

"You just heard right" Pearl replied bluntly

" Okay, Pearl a new client just called,he needs an interior decoration at..."

****

"What's this charles!" Tracy shouted in annoyance

"It is what it is." he replied

"Charles,my dad employed you to help improve our company's ratings not dwindle it."

"I'm not saying any other thing to you."

"Okay,we're having an emergency board meeting right Now!!!"

****

"Listen guys you all aren't working. I wasn't given the mantle of running this company just to ruin it. We need to work hard and really hard."

"Kari,Jude,imade and Joseph"

"Yes ma'am" they all replied

"You're all going to edit this document here and write a better one.Charles?"

"Yes Tracy?" He said

"I need a better layout,this is crap. No one is going home till we're done with this."

"Really Tracy? You mean were going do all these today? come on."

"Charles! Bosses orders! This meeting is done.Let's get to work!"

"Pearl I do anything for you,i made him take a compulsory off..."

"Pearl don't mind her,she just cares too much about you. So How far away is the place" George said

"Not all that far should not Be more than 5km from here."

"So Pearl when would you guys leave?"Tracy asked

"How about tomorrow? is it okay by you George?"

"Umm,honey what about the meeting with..."

"George,I'll meet with them on your behalf.Pearl,tomorrow is perfect"

"Thanks my love." George said

Tracy looked at her watch.

"Gracious goodness! It's almost nine,dad would kill me. George,Pearl I've got to go now..before I run late."

"Okay..."Pearl said

"I'll drop you off my love."

"No need George, I'll just commute and you need to plan with Pearl for your trip. Bye."

"Bye my love"He said and kissed her.

****

"goodmorning George"

George didn't reply. he was probably still pissed about the night before's incident.

"I'm sorry my love,I know I was erratic last night but I was jealous,I didn't like they fact that you and charlotte were together last night,I'm really sorry."

George got up from the couch he was seated in the living room and was about climbing the stairs to his bedroom when he saw Max

"Mummy!"Max screeched,he hadn't seen his mother since he woke up.

"My baby, come here"

He went to her and she carried him holding him tight and kissing him.

"Mummy,missed you,have you had breakfast?"

"No."

George just stared at mother and son,shook his head in disbelief and went to his room.

"Ok,Max,I'll cook you your favorite spagetti Now..."

****

It was evening,time to sleep. They had both not talked to each other since she came home.
He wasn't ready and she felt it wasn't the right time. He had retired to his bedroom but not without giving lovely XoXo's to his son. He got into his room to find Tracy there already.

"How the hell did she get here before me"he asked himself but nevertheless he was determined to go quietly into the bed. As he lay down,Tracy came and sat by his side of the bed.

"Honey,I'm really really sorry,I know what I did yesterday was wrong, I want to make amends
please..."

He decided to speak up.

"Tracy,I'm not angry with you or anything,It's just that I'm disappointed that you don't trust me, The fact is that you're the one I love and will always. "

"Shhh"Tracy silenced him with a kiss "I promise I'll make it up to you,I promise."she said reassuring him

"really? are you sure you won't go haywire when next you see me with another woman"

"Of course not honey..." She said while loosening her robe to uncover her pretty nightie.

"Wow, This is sexy,is this the way you want to make it up?"He said

"LoL,How naughty,I think its high time we made another baby,Max's growing up fast. What do you think?"

"Yea,anything for you,now come to daddy.."
She chuckled.

****

"None of your business"

****

"who did you say is at the gate? Okay,i'd Be right there,let her in"

"Pearl...."

"Tracy!why are you crying,what's wrong?"

Tracy hugged her,still sobbing

"It..s I..T..s.."

"hush,let's go in."

****

"Really, Do you think George could cheat on you?"

"I don't know what to think anymore,I'm blank."

"So,um what if peradventure,you caught him cheat.. I mean cheating,what would you..you do to him and the lady?"

"I really don't know what I'll to Pearl, I love my husband so much..."

"I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay, so what's this?" she pointed at some paper work on the table.

"It's mine,I mean my aunts'. It's for her farm,she wants me to handle it but I don't have much experience."

"Farm? Where's it at?"

"A close by village. I'm not so into these stuffs Tracy."

"Umm,maybe I could Help"

"How?"

"Umm,lemme have a look"

"So,what do you think?"

"Wow,George can handle this."

"Geo.. you mean George?" Pearl asked

"Yea George, He'd help you out,you could even employ him as your manager"

"umm,is that okay by you?"

"Yes,of course.I'd tell him about it and i'd get back to you."

"Okay.. thanks."

"*yawns* I'm very sleepy now, I need to go back home"

"No you can't ,It's almost 12.It's too late just sleep over."

"Thanks Pearl"

"Come ,I'll show you your room"
****

Tracy trailed George to the restaurant he was going to. She decided to wait a while till he went in and settled

"I hope It's not what I'm thinking,I mean she's always all over him."

She waited some few more minutes and then went in. She didn't find him at first cause there was quite a number of people there and then she spotted him laughing and charlotte was all over him.

She didn't know what to do,so she decided to show herself to them.

"Wow, what a nice business meeting" she said when she got to their table clapping her hands

"Tracy!" George exclaimed

"Are you suprised to see me George, this has been where you and your mistress have been enjoying,hope I'm not too late to join the party"

"Excuse me!"charlotte said

"Excuse you! Really now,you've been allover my husband and you tell me to excuse you"

She raised her voice and people started looking at their direction.George stood up to caution his wife.

"Honey,please don't do this,we're in public."he muttered

"Don't honey me George! I'm tired of you hanging out with this slVt whenever I'm not around."

Charlotte was now visibly pissed.

"Point of correction miss,I'm not a slVt and I'm doing nothing wrong with your husband"

"Really?!"Tracy made to slap her but was prevented from doing so by her husband.

"We're going home NOW!!!" he pulled her along with him.

****

"Tracy why did you do that?"He asked when they arrived home

"oh,so I'm supposed to clap and watch while you and your mistress go on jolly rides?"

"Stop shouting Tracy, we don't want to wake up Max"

"Really, is that why you persuaded me to work at dads'? So you'd be free to do whatever you want?"

George was getting really angry now.

"Stop fooling yourself Tracy, do you know what we just lost, a lot. She was ready to hire our AD company before you arrived and ruined everything! Why are you so insecure? Have I ever done anything to make you doubt me before? Have I?"

"Just get lost." She picked up her bag and car key

"Where are you going Tracy?"

"So,Tracy I need to know why you rejected this ?" Charles said flinging a typed booklet at her desk

"Charles How inappropriate,I guess you're forgetting something here,I'm your boss."

"Boss my foot!"he said to himself albeit loud

"what did you just say?"

"Nothing."

"Good,so you had better come up with better strategies cause I don't buy this idea."

"Ok"he turned back and was about to walk away when she called back to him.

"wait!"

"what's it Tracy,I'm sick and tired of your bossing me around.Mind you,your dad employed me,not you and I'm answerable only to him so stop being saucy" he stumped out in annoyance.

"Really Now."

****
SOMEWHERE DOWN SOUTH

"Dude,this girl's making things hard for me"

"Charles why are you even working in the company in the first place. I know you as a photographer and not some sort of business tycoon!"

"listen brady, I'm here for an aim okay,and I need to achieve it "

"Aim? what aim?"

"You'll soon find out my brother,Very soon"

“Okay,lets drink,shall we?"

****

"My Love! you're home so soon!"

"Yea,there's not much work at the office.BTW,where are you going?"

"Oh,I almost forgot,I'm meeting up with charlotte,there's a business proposal we want to discuss"

"Charlotte again?"

"again?" George asked

"No,It's okay,you can go."

"Ok honey,love you Muah" he kissed her and left.

"What kind of business proposal could she want to discuss,I don't trust her.Nanny? Nanny?"

"Yes ma"

"Please watch over Max,I've got to go somewhere"

****

Pearl felt a tap at her back and she turned around .

"George!"she exclaimed
They quickly hugged

"I'm sorry I was late."

"It's okay,at least you're here Now,I missed you.."

"I missed you too Pearl,you're looking so beautiful today,that's why I love you"

"I love you too" he was about to kiss her when...

she woke up.

"it was just a dream." Her heart was racing .

"Calm down Pearl,It's all a dream,but this is wrong! He's my bestfriends husband.Oh God,please help me... "

She tried sleeping but it wasn't possible,she picked up her phone and dialled Tracy.

After many unreturned calls,she called Rowena.

"Rowena,I can't sleep.."

"Oh my god Pearl,do you need a nanny?" she asked sarcastically

"It's not funny Rowena."

"Okay,do you have sleeping pills?"

"ermmm,I dont know,but I'll check my aunt's storage I'm so lonely in this house Rowena."

"Oh,sorry about that okay,go take the pills goodnight *yawns*“

"good night .See you tommorrow"

****

"Pearl, pearl!" Rowena had to shake her vigorously as she was in deep sleep.

"Umm,Mum I mean Rowena"

"Did you get any sleep last night?"

"No,I couldn't get the tabs."

"Sorry about that,anyway, the Belo executives are here and they requested you"

"Okay,How do I look?"

"spot on girl,you're so pretty and sexy too."

****

"Good day everyone"

"Hello miss Pearl,we're from Belo and we're here for the photoshoot schedule."

"Ohkay,that's cool,umm when should I avail myself for it?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"okay,good, see you then."

****

"I'm so sorry guys,I hope we're not too late"Tracy said as they arrived the shoot location

"No,ma'am we're just starting."

"that's great,excuse me,I have to take this call... hello?"

George decided to go on alone he was stupefied when he got to the scene.
There standing before him was half unclad Pearl posing for the camera.

She was quite shy when she saw him.

"I'm sorry,I hope I didn't intrude"

"No sir George, please come see the pics and tell us what you think..."

He took a momentary look at the pics

"They are great,perf model."

Pearl smiled.

"Sir George, George!"

"Yes chioma"

"Tracy said she had an urgent call from the office and she has to go there ASAP."

"OH,that's okay."

"Wow,miss Pearl, you're quite sexy" chioma said

"Thanks“ Pearl said flashing a smile

****

"Hello? What? what do you mean you can't pick me up? what I'm I supposed to do Now? hello?"

Pearl was upset her carriage wasn't available.

"Pearl, is there a problem?" George asked

"Um, It's nothing,I'm fine.."

"You're obviously not,you can tell me you know" he held her hand.

Pearl looked down at her hand and back to George's face

"My driver said my car broke down and he can't come pick me."

"oh,that's not a problem. i'd drop you off"

"No,I don't want to encroach..."

"you're not. I'm pretty sure if my wife were here,she'd want me to do same too. let's go?"

"okay."

****

"Thanks for bringing me home,I appreciate."

"It's nothing, Bye."

"Good bye."

"wow,he dropped you off?"

"Rowena! you startled me,when did you get here?"

"I felt for you so I decided to spend the weekend here"

"Thanks a lot, come on in..."

"Yes ma'am, he's over there."

"Oh George!" she said dreamily

"Charlotte! Wow!" george said

"wow,It's been ages. you've changed quite a lot." She hugged him tight

"um,charlotte meet my wife Tracy." he said when they disengaged

"Oh hello Tracy nice to meet you"

"Hi "Tracy said briefly.
she felt weird cause she didn't like they idea of someone hugging her hubby so tight.

"George hunny, I've got a lot of stuffs to tell you,Do you mind if we go somewhere to talk" Charlotte said

"Emm..."George looked back at his wife who gave her assent.

"Honey,i'd be back soon"

"okay."

****

"Tracy,there's nothing wrong It's just a friendly meeting"she said trying to convince herself that she made the right choice.

"Tracy,who are you talking to?"an employee asked

"oh,It's nothing chioma, Emm, so how have you guys been?"

****

Tracy was pacing about the house,it was nine pm and George wasn't home yèt.

"Oh my God, where could he be and he's not returning his calls"

"Mummy!"

"Max,what are you doing awake? where's your nanny."

"mummy,where's daddy"

"Oh honey,come here, Your dad,went to get you a very big and beautiful gift he'll soon be home okay..."

"Ok mummy"

She cuddled him till he slept.

****

"Tracy I'm so sorry"George said as soon as he arrived

"Where have you been?"

"After I talked with charlotte,I got a message from James so I had to go over to his place he had a little problem and there wasn't any network so I..."

"It's okay,but please just try to inform me next time so I won't get worried sick about you"

"Yea,I promise my love"

"Hello Pearl?"

"Oh hi Tracy. George told me that you accepted modelling contract.that's good."

"I would like us to go out,you know catch some fun,Its been a while you know..."

"I'm sorry but I'm busy atm"

"Ok, So when will you be free?"

"I dunno, but I'll let you know."

"okay,bye"

"Why did you do that?"Rowena asked after she ended the call

"Do what?"

"Lie about your being busy when in actual fact you just told me you needed recreation."

"Rowena,I'm just...."

"What's wrong with you Pearl,I thought you said you were her best friend."

"Okay, Rowena don't irk me,I still call the shots here"

"Yes ma"she said gibingly.

****

"Dad!"

"Hey Tracy, glad you came over."

"Yes dad, do you mind if I ask a question?"

"No,I don't go on"

"Why do you repose so much trust in charles,I mean,you have a lot faith in him"

"Tracy,you need to understand something, Charles is good,really good and our company needs some help now,we can't afford to lose him"

"What if..."

"What if what?"He asked inquisitively

"what if I accept to work in the company,would you relieve him of his job?"

"Nah,I can't do that but if you work in my company,i'd make you the president and you'd supervise him.Why do you hate him so much,is it because he dumped that your good-for-nothing friend?"

"Dad,pls let's not bring Pearl into this.I have something to tell you"

"Go on"

"I spoke with my husband and ,I'm accepting your offer dad"

"Wow,that's wonderful.. Thanks Tracy"

"No need for that dad,its my responsibility."

"so,How is my grandson,I heard he made stars at school?"

DEDICATING THIS EPISODE TO MUBZAY
All your comments are appreciated

"Hii Tracy" Charles said in his ever deceptive tone

"Charles,what are you doing in my home?"Tracy asked puzzled

"Wow,is that your son?"he said as Max alighted from the car, ignoring her first question.

"You haven't answered my question!she splurted

"Whoa! take it easy. I've been waiting for you to get home out here since your gateman didnt let me in"

"Yea,so,please state your reason for coming here briefly cause I'm very busy and..."

"Your dad sent me to you" he cut in

"He said to tell you he wants you to reconsider his offer. "

"Ok. tell him I would."

"Hey honey" George said as he arrived

"Hi,good evening I'm charles"

"Hi..."

"Ok,Trei,i'd be going,bye."charles said

"It's okay hun,just promise me you'll never do that again."

"Don't bother about that,I've settled it"

"How?"

"I told him I cant work there"

"Why!"

George arrived at pearls office in no time

"Wow,It's huge"
He was bewildered when he got in

"Excuse me sir, can I Help you?" a young lady said politely

"Good day miss.My name's George and I want to see Miss Pearl Ojo"

"Aii,just a min sir"

She made a call over to pearls office.

"Ok Mr George you can go in through that door"she gestured to him

"George! To what do I owe this visit" Pearl exclaimed

"Good day Pearl, I'm here for..."

"That's great news. so when would you like to meet them?"

"Ermm,when would they be free?"

George stood to admire her office

"Wow" he said and he also spotted a portrait of hers on a desk

"Beautiful"he said as he gazed at the portrait

"So I have..."

"Whoa!"he said suprised as he quickly dropped the portrait

"I'm sorry I startled you"

"It's nothing. I was just admiring your office.This portrait's quite nice."

"Thanks"she said and her eyes glittered

"Who did this?"

"A friend of mine"

"Aww. Rowena,stop been such a spoil spurt. How long have you been out there?"

"Just some minutes ago.Who's he,he's quite handsome"

"He's george"

"Is he single?" Rowena asked with raised brows.

Tracy and etim struggled to raise and take George in.
****

HAPPY SUNDAY

Pearl arrived at her favorite bar from before.
Although she had promised her self and Tracy Never to drink again, she couldn't Help reneging.

"Just this once I promise." she said to her ego which had tried to dissuade her.

She walked in and sat on a sofa

"Waiter!" she called on to the attendant

"Can I have a bottle of vodka please?"

"Here you go ma'am"

She had downed a glass and was peering around when she spotted George .

"George? what could he be doing here?"

she walked a few miles to his table.

"George?" she called out to him quizzically

"Oh hi Pearl Tracy's friend" he said when he looked up

He was obviously drunk.She looked on the table where there were 4 bottles of Mc dowell's which were Zilch
Pearl felt pity for him.

"why are you here alone?"

She knew she had asked a rhetorical question cause he had already zonked out, sleeping like a baby.

"Excuse me" she said to a waiter close to her

"Has he paid for his drinks? "

"No ma'am"

"Okay,could you bring me the bill"

She paid as soon as the young lad brought the bill.

"Can you please Help him up to my car outside?he can't walk on his own."

****

They had arrived at his residence but she was reluctant to knock on the gate or ring a bell.

She looked at the poor darling. He looked so pathetic and innocent.
Pearl almost kissed him when he said

"I love you very much Tracy. I love you"
subconciously.

She was jolted to reality that this was her besties man and not hers.

"Pearl,behave. He's married okay." she said to herself

She got down and headed for the bell

"Honey there's something i'd want us to discuss"

Trei said to George

"What's that about my love?"

"um... George Dad wants me to work in his company"

"and what did you say"George asked

"I told him i'd think about it"

"Seriously? Tracy?" he said,disappointed.

"Yea,I mean what was I supposed to say.He's my dad and..."

"And what?" George cut in "He's the one who gave us this house and a loan to start our company? Tell me!"

"Would you just stop it! I'm making a suggestion here, working at dads' could give us more capital you know."

"I don't need your family's money!"George splurted

"It's not only about the money,dad's company is also crashing... I just have to Help"

"Then go on and help! You'd always choose your family over us" He was irked and upset

"I don't understand you George,I'm not doing this for any selfish reason..If you want I could tell him to let you work there too."

"Never! Remember How your dad humilated me last year when I tried presenting an AD for his company to him? remember?"

"That was then,I'm sure dad didn't mean it..."

"There you go again,always on your dad's side. Tracy do whatever you like okay.I don't care!"

"Is it wrong for me to seek your advice? is it? I really don't know where all this pride is coming from. You weren't like this when we were dating..."

"Ok,you can have the house to yourself."

He left furious.

"oh my God! why is all these happening"Tracy lamented

****

"Hey dad,you sent for me,good morning"

"Yes Tracy ,have a seat."

She pulled up a chair.

"Tracy" he continued, "I want you to do me a favor."

"Dad,go on and ask,I'll do anything within my power for you"

"honey,I want you to work in my company, You have a masters in marketting,so we need you here"

"But why dad? you know,I'm just starting off my AD company with my hubby and we're still in the process of making it work ."

"Tracy,"he spoke in a lowered tone "The company is being mismanaged and It's going bankrupt"

"Bankrupt?"Trei shouted in disbelief

"Shh,"he looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping "Don't let that get out of your mouth okay.I want you to think about it Tracy.
Btw,I just employed a new MD.."

"Ok dad,i will.Who's he ?"

"A minute pls" He picked up his landline and dialled his secretary

"Bola,tell him to come in Now"

"Yes sir."Bola said

The door was opened in a jiffy and before Tracy could have a look...

"Tracy,meet the new MD Mr Charles Udoh"

She turned to look at him.

Tracy was done talking with her dad and she had to head home. She hoped she could see and talk to Charles before she left.

"Wow,nice meeting you again TRACY."

"And What do you think you're doing in my fathers company"she asked with vivacity

"Pardon?. Ma'am I'm here to work okay"

"What fake CV did you give him that made him employ you,cause,last time I checked you were a pathetic PHOTOGRAPHER!"

"Well that was last time Tracy and this is the present!"

"Don't think you've gotten away with what you did to Pearl cause you haven't ,I'll deal with you.Excuse me!"

she made to enter the lift but he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back.

"Tracy,I did nothing to Pearl okay."

"You call decieving her and leaving her in the lurch nothing?" she said furiously.

"Listen to me Tracy. That friend of yours isn't worth any affection. she's a LovePeddler and I wonder How she became friends with you cause you're both different and..."

"Don't you dare call my best friend a LovePeddler ever again? You're pathetic"

She stormed out on him.

Charles revamped ,smirked and walked away like nothing ever happened.
