5.Time was ticking!
"Hey, are you okay?" Ovie was clearly terrified at this point "You know what? I'm sorry, I'll leave if you want," he said, his initial cocky tone had given way for a sympathetic one.
Time up! She couldn't save herself. Sharon wanted to say "No", but again, the word stopped halfway in her throat; it didn't come out. She started to feel a slight headache from overworking her brain in few minutes. She rested her forehead in her right palm.
"I'm sorry," Ovie said once more, and walked away, looking over his shoulder from a safe distance; she was still there. The girl could be dealing with the agony of having lost a dear one or his words must have unearthed an old unpleasant memory or something, he thought. It was best to let her be before he caused more damage.
Sharon stood rooted on her spot. She did not know what to feel, how to feel. Times and circumstance like this made her wish that Angel Gabriel blew the trumpet already, or that the earth gave way under feet and swallowed her up, whole nine yards. She tried to stop the tears that were threatening to run down her cheeks, but she was too late as they were already rolling freely down her cheeks, she wished that the rain poured down right now to conceal her tears so people wouldn't be able to tell that she was crying.


G, thanks for this follow up.

So as they were taking their seats near him and he was still relishing the treatment he got at Mama Shukrohs house. He decided to keep it to himself

He knew that men can't treat him that way
So he ordered pepper soup and cool drinks for any man in sight

The waiter was a girl, she no get breast, he no her anything

One of the men drinking to his earth now was his fellow okada rider, they call him Gbajabiamila

Gbajabiamila sef know say e don cash out so he get business proposal for am, guess what

Gambling
Or betting

He told him that he could win 1,000,000 with just a few thousands

Moneychangeface was tipsy, he said ok
He made Gbajabiamila take him home on his bike to fetch money

When they got home, his neighbours had dispersed from their meeting, they left their housewives at home.

The housewives started their own hailing
Somehow everybody seems to know that he has money

He didn't wanna give any woman money again but they told him to settle them that they have serious gist for him.

He sha finally gave each if them 1, 1 k
They were 11 in number
There were three of them married to a bus conductor and live in one room. With 5 children.

They told him that the police had come looking for him.

He said why

They said they should ask him.

He was still tipsy.

He put all his money inside a nylon and hid it on his person
He left the house.

Gbajabiamila took him to a betting shop.

Now maybe it was Shukroh or her Mama they find him
He never sure
Everybody somehow knew he has money and police still come involve

Police sef na ogbologbo thief, what an oxymoron and irony of life
Gbajabiamila say na wa for u o
Guy make we go bet, u go dey alright, u go give police money ehn, e go go tell person wet report u say make he be careful o

Nna make we go bet...

Let me first apologize for uploading last week as promised. I promised at least three chapters per week, but I only uploaded two last week. I was ill for some days and wasn't able to write much. But I will make up for it this week.

Really owe it to my readers to keep to promises. I hope you all understand

Oya, let Ruby's story continue.

It's like a lot of people like the 'Gideon and Ruby' pair. Originally, Gideon was supposed to remain the annoying colleague, but oh well, since he is popular, let's give him a chance. And hope he doesn't *Bleep* it up

Also, I want to write Rose's story, independent of "Ruby's Search". I am curious about her own story. What do you guys think?

Nne, thank you for the update. This story is becoming highly addictive and interesting. I heard you might give Gideon a second chance? I think he deserves it, he has shown that he's a man of great principle and standard. I hope you're feeling better now? Take care of yourself.

Ok i have to say now until Eddie meets ovie. Sola, keep up the good work.

Soul baba you dey burst my head on a reg. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the update. It's Gideon and Ruby till the bitter end.

Wow soul, you blow my mind away. You always have a way of quenching my hunger and refuelling a much greater one. Thanks for the update.

Thanks Op. Please keep it coming but remember am #teamjosiahruby.

Nne, i really love your story, keep up the good work. Thanks for the update but i hope there's more to come.

No i haven't, Should i??

Wow what a twist. It's becoming more addictive everyday.
