"Is that so?." Ruth flashed a thank you smile at the nurse who nodded.

"Aunty Osas!" Boma voice boomed again.

I took him from Ruth." I see my little man is feeling better now."

He smiled. " Yeah." He glanced at Ola. " Hi Aunty Ola." He didn't leave me.

Ola smiled at him and pulled his cheek. Ruth  was talking to the nurse.

"How was your night in the hospital?".

"I wasn't scared." He said a bit too confident which I was sure was a lie.

"Oh really. Well you have to stay another night in the hospital."

His once confident and bright demeanour vanished. " I don't want to stay in the hospital again." He whined.

"Miss Laura will take care of you Boms."  Ruth said approaching us.

"I want to go home." He whined again.

"You will go home Tomorrow and then you will see Asta." I said.

"I want to see Asta today."

"Asta won't play with you of you don't stay in the hospital today. Do you want Asta to play with you ?".

He nodded his head innocently.

"Good.so you will stay in the hospital with miss Laura. Will you ?".

He nodded his head. I wiped the tears that had dropped from his eyes.

I handed him to Ruth. " I need to go now. I have a meeting concerning the Orphanage. "

Ruth smiled."thanks for everything."

I hugged her and Boma.  " Be a good man now Boma."

I and Ola left the hospital." You'll drop me off at the restaurant." I slid to the passengers seat.

"How will you then come home?".

"Don't bother."

"Okay thats enough Osas. I said I was sorry can't you just let it go."

I sighed." I'm not mad at you Ola. I just have a lot in my mind. You know what, I'll use the official car to come home and please Ola let's not argue about this."

"Fine. How was your date with  Michael last night."

"It went so nice. We talked all evening. Quite the romance." I said dryly.

"That bad ?".

"He was on his phone all through the night and I guess he lied to me."

"Lied to you?"

I heaved a sigh ." It's complicated Ola. Let's just say he was busy with work. How is work anyway and the boss.?" I asked.

"He apologized to me." She said.

"Who?"

"Seyi. I was shocked I thought I was dreaming. I almost pinched myself."

"That's new."I said absent mindedly.

"Yeah. I guess his not that bad."

Did I talk to him about it last night.!!! Must that be the best reason he was coming with Zina?.

It didn't make any sense.

Someone's P.o.v

"What do you mean?. This is the right time to release the video." I boomed over the phone.

"It's not the right time. Seyi is pretty occupied with things dumping this one on him just makes things quite hasty." The voice sounded over the phone

"Well what's the delay. When his preoccupied he becomes a mess."

"Let's not just release the video today."

"What about tomorrow then?".

"What's the difference. I'll inform you on the right date to release the video."

Before I could tell the line cut.

I threw my phone on the couch frustrated.

Why won't I not do it today. What a drag. If I had my way Seyi would have gone down since the day he stepped his feets in Nigeria.

I picked up my phone and watched the video again. A mischievous smile tugged my lips.

No I won't. It's better if I don't do anything that will cut me out of the game.
