Mofe looked down at the screen of his phone, quite surprised at seeing the caller ID. It was William, his partner and the managing director of the Corporation calling.

He had known William since Caltech, the two had struck a fast friendship after William had heard of the African wonder student in the Engineering and Computer sciences department who the Professors had been buzzing about.

William also being financially smart and had been a graduate student in the Humanities and social sciences department at the time.He had believed so much in Mofe's ideas, designs and potential that he had loaned him the room above his parents garage for free after Mofe had been done with his course.

Mofe had gotten really great offers after Caltech from big corporations, and also doctorate offers with scholarships from schools but Will had advised Mofe against further studies, he had said he would be wasting his talents ending up a professor when he could revolutionise the world with his hightech gadgets.

Mofe had been unsure, it was so much easier to either take up the scholarship options schools were offering him or work with some of the big Corporations at Silicon valley.

Agreeing to try out Will's advice for only a year, he had worked on and developed his ideas during his free time while taking an obscure job in a restaurant for money.

Everything had moved on from there so quickly,he now had his own corporation with its headquarters at Silicon Valley and branches in Europe and every continent.


He owed a huge part of his success to William who was hugely ambitious, maybe even more so than Mofe had been.

He had helped in getting some of his personal designs and ideas patented. He had also been responsible for the investors and funding with which they had begun the company.

Techbits Corp's high tech security and surveillance devices and softwares were invaluable to many big companies the world over and presently being used by the United States Military and the Militia of developed countries around the world.

He owned research labs he personally supervised and had some of the smartest people in the world working with him. It was all possible because William had believed and pushed him.

Mofe had rewarded him with a seat on the board of directors and ten percent stake in the Corporation's assets. Also being the managing director, Mofe trusted him to keep the company going smoothly while Mofe focused on research, design and idea development.

“Hi Will.” He picked up the call after putting some reasonable distance between him and Ezinne’s house.

“Hey MJ, it's been quite awhile now. How's it going over there in Africa?” William asked in his usual booming, jovial tone.

“I’m good, Will… everything is fine here ...in Abuja, Nigeria.” Mofe replied, not fooled by Will’s tone. He liked to think he knew his friend better than that.

Will didn't just make casual calls, he definitely had something serious to discuss. Working with him for a few years now, Mofe was quite familiar with his style.

People usually took Will at face value, an outgoing blond frat party boy who had been born privileged. They didn't see he was ambitious, calculating and business smart. Mofe liked to think Will enjoyed misleading people into thinking him to be nothing more than a good looking dumb blond who knew how to have a good time.

It made it easier for him to swoop in on them unexpectedly, sometimes making people divulge information they thought would be useless to him.

Will was an opportunist and never let an opportunity slip by him. Mofe did trust him though as they had similar interests in mind which was the continued success and growth of Techbits Corp.

“Alright, any progress on your personal family stuff?”

“Yeah, it's all going well.” He replied, he hadn't given William the full story on why he had returned home. Only Ever knew and she’d had to wheedle it out of him. “How's it over there? Keeping our investors happy, are you?”

“Yeah, they are happy for now… a little bit confused as to why you left suddenly with no specific date of return but I calmed their nerves. Saying you needed some time to reflect and come up with more awesome ideas.”

Mofe smiled. “ William, you crooked salesman!”

William laughed “Guilty as charged.”

“You are actually right, I have been getting a few ideas, especially technology to do with the visually impaired. What do you think about that?” Mofe Asked. He had been doing some reading for a while now on the subject and had realised that whatever was available was either really expensive or still in it's design stages.

“Wow…. MJ that sounds fascinating. Does that mean you will be back in Silicon Valley soon?” Will asked. He was sure to get excited at the thoughts of new products that would rake in more profits for the business.

“I can't give an affirmative on that yet Will, but I will work on my ideas here and send to Akihito, the head of designs to have a look at.”

“Alright, you are the boss...just don't get too comfortable over there. We need you back here real soon. I'm sure Eve isn't taking your absence so well even though I know how patient she is with you.”

Eve was another matter entirely. She had closed off on him, refusing to pick his calls, he planned on doing something about that as soon as he got Ezinne settled into her new place.

“Have you seen her around?”

“Yeah... I do see her around in the mornings at the park, where we all do our morning run. Is everything good between you two?”

“Yeah, everything's fine.” He lied, this was another part of his life he didn't let anyone into. He and Eve would work out their differences. She loved him, she would come around especially when he surprised her with what she wanted most from him, a wedding date.

He had thought about it. These days he wasn't as haunted by thoughts of Ezinne as he used to be. It was probably because he was working on getting the closure he needed to move forward with his life.

He felt he was at a point he could commit fully to Eve without having Ezinne in his head all the time.

“If you could check on her once in awhile for me? I would appreciate it.” He said

“Sure, why not? Will replied. “ There's something I am quite curious about though.”

“Okay..what's that?” He asked, knowing this was the real reason William had called. Everything else had just been unnecessary small talk preparing the ground for this.

“You recently requested Jared, the West Africa regional manager to acquire some unknown bankrupt shipping company? Onu Shipping?”

“Yes…” He replied. “It's a personal thing.”

“Personal? MJ, you do know we have to get approval from the board for acquisitions we …”

“I own sixty percent of the damn company and so I can make acquisitions as I see fit. As long as It's not interfering with the huge profits my company puts in the investors pockets, they should not concern themselves with some of my personal decisions.”

“Whoa, whoa, calm down MJ… this can slide but you can't make strange acquisitions like this… you have to run it by me first, or you are hanging me out by my as’s, wide open without any sort of cover. I just need a heads up from you first, so I can prepare my defence to the board, that's all I'm asking.”

“Alright, I understand.” Mofe replied more calmly. He understood what Jared meant. “I also directed Jared to have the auditors look into the books to find out if the previous management did any shady things with the accounts and finances.”

Will laughed. “You do know as well as I do that is most likely why the company folded….” His voice trailed before he continued. “Wait, are you planning something? You said this was personal… You do know the owners of the company personally, don't you? This is some sort of vendetta, isn't it?”

Mofe smiled, Will was intuitive but he was not giving him any answers.
“I take it we are done?”

“Spoil sport! You and your secrets… Anyway we are done yeah…. Just try and get back here as soon as you can.”

“Sure, soon as I can. Bye Will.” He hung up and couldn't help the small smile tugging at the edge of his lip.

Things were going to plan, soon all debts would be repaid.
