PART 2:

  You have already done enough. May life remember what you did today. She gave before she knew my name. Let us see what power does to her. ‘  ‘ That is Maya. Vanessa posted the video before she even reached the office. ‘ She gave her shoes away and still came for the board presentation. ‘  ‘ If the analyst is absent, we continue and record her failure.

‘ She’s probably still outside performing charity for strangers. ‘ I apologize for the delay. My report is complete and ready. ‘ Your report may be ready, Maya, but clearly you are not. Should we first discuss why you arrived dressed for a flooded market? ‘  ‘ My appearance changed.

The quality of my analysis did not. ‘ Then prove your figures deserve more attention than your entrance. ‘ That is exactly what I came here to do. The acquisition target overstated its value by 800 million naira. ‘ That is serious. Show the board how you reached that figure. ‘ They listed the same properties twice through separate subsidiaries.

‘ She is correct.  The source documents were designed to hide duplication. How long did  it take you to uncover something our advisers missed? ‘ Most of the night. The figures looked ordinary because they were meant to. ‘ Freeze the transaction. Verify every asset before anyone signs. ‘  ‘ I will begin immediately.

Maya’s report may have saved us a fortune. ‘ One correct report will not erase how ridiculous  you look today. I am not asking anyone to erase it. I know why  I did it. Find out everything about Maya Benson, but let  no one know. ‘ Yes, madam. I will have a complete report before morning. ‘ She surrendered  comfort before she knew whether I could repay her.

‘ Most people  would have called security and continued walking. She supports her mother and a younger sister awaiting  major surgery. ‘ And she still gave away the only good shoe she owned. Call Lawson. My son is about to learn a lesson he cannot purchase. ‘ Will Mr.

David agree to whatever you are planning? ‘ He will agree when he understands what refusal will cost him. ‘ What did the hospital say? ‘  ‘ Do not protect me from the truth. They moved the surgery forward. Waiting longer may make things worse. Sister, I need the operation, but I do not want to destroy your life. You are my life, Rachel.

Paying for your healing cannot destroy it. ‘ The hospital called me, too. We cannot pretend the deadline will move again. ‘  ‘ I will find the money. I only need both of you to trust me. Even if I save every naira, the hospital will not  wait for me. ‘ This came from Madam Cole’s private office. Attendance is compulsory.

‘ Madam Cole, I have never met anyone from the chairman’s family. ‘ Find out why Maya Benson received a private Cole family  summons. That office rarely explains its invitations, but I will ask quietly.  ‘ So, you are Maya Benson, the woman my mother suddenly cannot stop praising. ‘ I do not know your mother, and I was not told why I came.

‘ My mother says I lose my position unless I marry you for 1 year. ‘ You summoned me here to accuse me of the marriage I knew nothing about? ‘ You found a sick old woman, earned her trust, and reached for her son. ‘ I helped someone in the rain. I did not ask who owned her family. You are the woman from the boutique.

And you were the only person who remembered I was human. ‘ [singing] ‘ She knew exactly what she was doing. Nobody gives that much without a plan. ‘ She gave before she knew my name. ‘  ‘ Your suspicion came before the truth. You already decided what kind of woman I am. Nothing I say will matter. ‘ The payment tells me enough.

You saw a door and walked through it. ‘  ‘ Speak to her with respect or clear your office before midnight. ‘ You would remove your own son because a stranger gave you shoes? ‘ I would remove any leader who confuses wealth with wisdom. ‘ And you believe forcing marriage  will make me wise? The agreement lasts 1 year.
