‘Yes, and she seems happy about it.'

'Wow, that's wonderful.'

'I asked mummy why she suspended you from work. She said I should not worry; that she just wanted you to learn some lesson. Are you really
sure you didn't offend mum in another way?'

I looked exasperated. 'As far as I know, I didn't commit any other offence. But if I did, I would be glad if she could let me know so that I can
properly apologize.'

'Anyway, don't worry, darling. I'm sure she'll soon ask you to resume work. I'll ensure she does that.'

'Thanks, Steph. You're a darling.'

'For now, send me the e-mail of your account details. I'll send some money to you.'

'You don't have to do that,' I said quickly. 'I should be the one to send money for the upkeep of Junior.'

'It's alright by me. I told you I can take care of the boy by myself. For now, let me send some money to you. Send me your account details.'

I gave up. 'Alright. Thanks a lot.'

'But I'll prefer that you come and join us over here. Your son and I are waiting.'

I suddenly realized that the boy was now used as an enticing point. I smiled.

'Thanks for the offer,' I said.

For the next two days, I went through the same routine. After Enny had left for work, I would work on my i-pad or laptop. The fourth day of
starting my suspension was a Friday. I thanked God it was Friday. I had sent details of my account to Steph and she sent me seven hundred
and fifty dollars. It was a lot of money when changed into naira. I appreciated Steph's generosity.

That weekend too was more of a routine. But I was glad to have Enny around. On Sunday evening, around six p.m., I received a call from
Madam B.

'Are you very busy, or can you come to the house?' She asked. I knew that by 'the house', she meant her house.

'I can come to the house, ma'am.'

'Good. See you.'
