'Good morning, Yeside. How was the holiday? How is the family? Please can we have a quick chat whenever you're ready?'   Mabel had a very wide smile as she spoke with Yeside while in the elevator. They were heading to their 6th floor office. 'Sure. I have meetings till 11am. Can we meet at about 11:15?' 'I have a meeting from 11-12. How about having lunch together? My treat. ' 'Sure. Can we do this more often?' They both laughed as they got off the elevator. 'Do I get a hint on what the chat is about? Is it an appraisal session? Come to think of it, I need to find a mentor for my High Flyer Program. Please will you be my mentor?' 'Na mentor you call like that? Isn't there a particular level one must be at before you can mentor High Flyers like you?' 'Ah ahn na. Don't you know you're a Big Madam? Only your eyeliner sef will buy my entire make-up kit. When I grow up, I want to be like you ooo' Th...

"Thank God for the holiday!" Yeside thought to herself as she snoozed the alarm for another 30 minutes. She mentally ran through all she had on her 'To-do' list and smiled as she thought of the interview with the minder. Olamide's accident was really turning out to be a blessing in disguise for her.

Then she told Dad and the whole family was talking about them kissing while their son was recovering...Mum! Secondly, Wole had agreed that they needed to get someone to help them around the house. They needed a live-in nanny that would engage in some craft or something while Olamide was in school and would help around the house when ...

“You’re not making any sense, Yeside”, Anjola said panicking…”I just dropped Olamide off and left, what’s the matter with Olamide? Where is he?” Yeside managed to tell Anjola where they were before the phone went off. Her phone battery just gave up on her. She had forgotten to charge the phone while dealing with all the drama…The day was surely a terrible one all the way… Why was Wole acting all concerned all of a sudden? He didn’t seem to care a hoot about his family when he walked out and went wherever it was he went. What was all the show about Olamide’s HMO card and sticking around to watch over them like a hawk? Why was he looking all so tender and adorable? Was he just about to reach out to her? Or was she dreaming up all the attention? She would never know because Justice Anjola practically flew into the room with all the corresponding Diva like attitude that she could muster. She must have asked one million and one questions and wanted answers immediately to even incoh...
