Seeing this kids always put smile on my faces. Some of this kids were abandoned by their parents which was so unthoughtful.

"Miss Osas, I got an A in my assignment." One of the kids said as they held my cloth.

Staring at the girl, I picked her up. "Well that's nice Vera."

Some of the workers smiled at me as one approached me.

"It's okay kids, Miss Osas has a meeting to go to." Tobi, the woman said as she took Vera from my arms.

"I got some things for the kids in the car." I told her as I  walked away.

I had told Nonso to go buy some foodstuffs and sweets as I was having the two hours meeting.

I knocked slightly and entered the management office.

Seated there were two people, Mrs Diepreye and miss Annabelle.

"How was your trip Osas?" Mrs Diepreye asked as I sat down.

"Nice. I had brought some food stuffs for the kids."

Annabelle smiled at me." That's thoughtful Osas but there are some problems."

I settled in my chair." Okay..."

"Firstly, it's  Dennis. He got into a fight again with the other boys. He doesn't just listen to us Osas an secondly it's  Eunice, she's new here and since she came last week she hasn't been eating all she do is cry. She's four years old. Her both parents died in a car accident and her relatives dropped her here. And lastly... Anna stared at Mrs Diepreye.

"We had a problem. The government was planning to demolish the orphanage but-"

"What!" I bellowed.

"It's not only  our building but also our neighbors too they said somethings about using the road, whatever they said Sha so they gave us two months notice so we have a month before we leave. We didn't know what to do so we thought of moving them to other orphanages but we decided to wait for you before we make any decisions. That's when today, a man came and gave us a solution. You can say he was God sent. He promised to have a building for us before the end of next month."

"How did the man know and who is he?" I inquired.

"He said a friend told him about it but he said his friend told him not to disclose his identity."

"I don't get."

"The man that came today is Mr Seyi Oyefeso. He dropped his......" My thoughts trailed away from what Mrs Diepreye was saying.

Why would he  this. How did he know about this?!
No! I won't accept anything from him. His proud and what if he decides to back out from it.

"Osas?"

I snapped out from reverie as I stared at the two women.

"What's wrong?" Annabelle asked.

" I know the man." I said softly.

"Maybe that's why he chose to help." Annabelle said.

"I don't know him know him. I just came across him twice or so and I never spoke about any orphanage to him."

"Well anyway what's your thought on his offer?" Mrs Diepreye asked

"Well  I don't like the man but it's all we have to do unless I can get a building before the month ends but I doubt."

"So that's a yes to the offer?" Annabelle asked.

"It is. Did he drop his number?"

"Yes he did." Mrs Diepreye opened her locker and brought out a card. It was his business card.
