mr and mrs Henry Joseph were both in a hurry. Today will be Linda's first day at work and she was thrilled. She came down for breakfast while her husband was half way with his own when the white envelope came. Henry had insisted she stay at home and resume the next day but Linda was adamant.
A plump man in dark blue suit delivered it personally to them and bade his farewells.
It was addressed to Mr and Mrs Joseph. Henry slowly unsealed it while Linda peep. It was a semi formal letter and very much hand written. Henry read it out to her over breakfast.
"a beautiful morning to you all. I hereby invite you to my home for dinner at 7pm. I will be most pleased if you make it. I will have someone pick you up at your residents"
It was signed, Aaron Martins, the Vice president.
'Jeez Henry, what do you think?'
Linda asked him while she spread peanut butter on her bread.
'what do you think Linda?'
he asked her back. Her phone began ringing. It was Tara.
'hy Linda, if Henry is there kindly put this call on speaker'
Linda immediately put the call on speaker.
'goodmorning'
it was Jordan and Mitch.
'hey guys'
Henry said.
'We just received a letter from the VP. Have you?'
Tara asked.
'yea, what do you think?'
'Linda are you actually asking when you know the answer? Ofcourse we are going. I'm not missing this for anything in the world'
Mitch cried out excitedly.
The women decided they should go and the men had no choice but to consent.
'don't worry Tara, i will help you dress up'
Linda had Mitch announced. She ended the call and beamed at her husband. It was quite obvious he didn't like the idea of having dinner with the Vice president.
He gulped down his tea, gave her a peck on the cheek and left. She quickly finished her breakfast and left with Daisy.
After dropping her off at school, she drove to work and found a fully furnished office for her and a secretary had been assigned to her.
She began work immediately, she was given a client's house to decorate. Linda was excited. The manager had told her to do a very good job.
It means she will have her hands full with this project and she fully intend to prove to them that she was good at she does.
She went back home by 5pm. She has a meeting the next day with miss John, the lady's whose house she was working on.
Henry was watching a Television programme when she entered. He made a mental note to have a word with her boss. She got duties to perform as a mother and a wife. Working from 8am to 3pm should be okay.
She smiled up at him.
'how was your first day?'
'wonderful, i got assigned to a project today'
'congrats sweetypie'
'thanks'
'oh, we have a visitor Linda'
'who?'
'guess'
'Jake?'
'no, your mother'
'surely you are joking Henry'
'i'm not. She called me to come pick her at the park. Why didn't you tell me she was coming?'
'i didn't know. She didn't...'
'Linda, come and greet your mother'
she heard her say. Henry thought he saw fear in her eyes but it was instantly replaced with a smile. Her mother engulfed her in a hug.
'look at you Linda, you're looking great. Your husband is taking good care of you'
'yes mother'
that was all she could say. Henry excused them and went upstairs.
'Linda you are wicked. Enjoying all alone when you have a family'
'mother, what do you mean?'
'shut up Linda or i slap you. You even have a car and ...'
Henry returned to the room beaming.
'sweetypie, don't forget we have an appointment by seven. You two can continue your discussion later or tomorrow'
'oh yes Linda, go ahead'
her mother told her. She slowly walked up the stairs to her room.
'you look sad Linda. Don't you want your mother here?'
'don't say that. I love my mother'
she bath and dressed in a silver alter neck gown. It was long and closely fitted.
'wow Linda, you look So glorious and i want you now'
he told her lustfully.
'sorry husband, we are running late. Come on, we have a date with the VP'
They walked downstairs at exactly 7pm with Henry staring at her like an adolecent.

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'
