"Please... Give us a chance. Just hear us out ma." The young man among them begged with a shaky voice as they walked out.

           Mrs Jolaoluwa just glared at their retreating back. She turned to the gateman who was standing quietly at a side watching the drama unfold.

"I don't want to see them inside this house again if you don't want to lose your job." She warned him. He opened his eyes wide in shock. Even one of her bodyguards standing beside her looked at her when she made the warning. He had never seen her threatening anyone nor had she been so angry at anyone. They put a mental note not to get on Mrs Jolaoluwa's bad side. It wasn't good. Just like her son.

            The gateman replied shaking his head vehemently. He can tell it was something very serious and he put it in his memory not to let them in no matter what they do or say. He was not ready to lose his job anytime soon.

           When Mrs Jolaoluwa was sure that he understood her message, she walked away into the house.

           Tayo walked back to his colleague and looked in the direction of the house where Mrs Jolaoluwa had gone away.

"I have never seen Mrs Jola so angry like this before." He said to his colleague.

           The other shakes his head, also confused. "It is not only you. I was beyond shocked when she raised her voice. She had always been a calm woman. Even when you get her angry, she doesn't raise her voice. I really do not know what people do but I'm sure it isn't anywhere nice."

"Yes o. To say I am surprised is an understatement."

"Like seriously bro." Peter, the other said.

           Mrs Jolaoluwa's house help, Precious came out of the house and looked around until her eyes fell on the two men. She walked up to them and said.

"Good evening." She greeted them politely.

"Good evening Precious. How are you doing?" Peter answered with a small sly smile on his face.

"Good." She smiled back and turned to Tayo who was already tapping something on his phone. She frowned a little but then she delivered the message she was sent. "Mrs Jola want to see you two."

           Tayo raised his head and turned to face his mate.

"What is it? Do we do something!" Peter asked.

           She shrugged. "I don't know. She just asked me to call both of you. I will see you later Peter." And she walked away.

"Hope all is well?" Tayo asked as he hunched and placed his phone in his pocket.

"Let's hope so," Peter answered him and they both left in the direction of the house.

              Mrs Jolaoluwa was sitting in the living room with her arms folded on her chest. She was deep in thought when they entered the living room.

            Tayo had to quietly call her name not to startle her. She slowly looked up at them.

"Ma, you called for us," Peter said.
