Chapter 8

Boma walked up to a friend of hers who was dressed in a nurse uniform then she sighed in relief.

"I don't know how you guys manage to work here with this whole Ritualist vibe"

"You and this your Ritualist something"

"Hey Amanda, I'm going to expose who the Duncan's are and I'll post it for the world to see. The news will trend everywhere, even on opera mini news"

"Any news can trend on opera mini"

"Whatever. I know i haven't spoken to you in a while but, I need your help to answer some questions for me"

"What question?"

"Let's find somewhere private first"

"What question?"

"Questions pertaining to death of Rosemary Ignatius"

Amanda looked around, "I'm kind of busy right now" "What?" "What exactly do you want to know" "She didn't die normally right?"

"They said it was food poisoning that killed her. Allergies, besides she had asthma too"

"But you don't believe it. What was her closeness with Gbade Duncan"
"Djdj was my friend okay.... I was suspecting something between the two of them. Like a secret relationship, Rose was involved in a lot of secretive and dirty things. She didn't tell me sha"

"Can it be possible that Gbade Duncan killed her?"

"I don't know, I don't know if doctor can do that but... The guy's a grub... I won't be surprised"

"I have a date" Dara announced to Stella on entering into her office. Stella was clad in a black suit, a red camisole and a black skirt.   "What kind of date?" "What kind of date will it be before? Valentine's date duh! I don't know how fruitful it can get, I don't even know whether to put in any effort, but... I'm just so excited about it"

"Oh. Don't be negative" Stella advised, "Who's the guy?"
"A guy i met a week ago, his name is tobo,  for short. This guy is everything I ever hope for in a man. He understands me, he's into literature like i am, he has good music taste. He's funny too, he's too good to be true, he dislikes everything I do, he's the perfect man for me and he doesn't even care about my stature. I'm scared, I don't want to mess up this day. It's Valentine's day, I just want to make everything perfect"

"You like him already?"

"Is it wrong to? I really don't know what to do. I'm clueless"

"Pray to God like you always do so he could show you the way" 

"You know very well that i pray everyday. That aside.... I mean, what should I do? What should I wear, I don't want to mess up the date. Who knows, this might be the answer to our prayer,  might be the one to walk me down the aisle so you guys can finally wriggle out of Daddy's terms" she nudged her elbow against Stella's arm and she in turn chuckled nervously.

She wish she could tell Dara that it was all Andy's plan but part of her was relieved knowing her sister was happy and that her boyfriend's plan was falling to place.

"Besides you're way fashionable than i am so I'll need all the help I can get except you already have plans"

"I can squeeze time for you"

Dara hugged her from behind, "Thank you very much"

Immediately Stella alighted from a taxi that stopped her directly at her parent's gate, her phone rang. "Hello Baby" she picked up with a smile. "Hey" Andy's voice sounded down and she couldn't help but wonder why.
