Victoria Garden City

I looked at the woman with shaky eyes while fiddling with my fingers and I saw that she was not joking. Just then, she spoke again while looking straight at me.

"I like you and I want something desperately. We will talk about that later when you are settled but before then, you will have to come to my place for further discussions"

"I will be paying you 200,000 naira monthly, excluding the compensation fee you would get after the completion of the contract and also with complete feeding and a suitable accommodation. You will get to know about the contract when you come to my house" She said to me.

I was very happy to have that kind of smooth luck that fateful day, without care of what would come ahead..." But will it become a good luck, or a bad one?" Well, that would be a story for another day.

I didn't think much about the future, I was just too happy right at that time. I agreed with her and was told to go to her place the next day. She gave me 10,000 naira, which is not a little amount of money in Nigeria, just to pass the day and for transportation. And also, she gave me her home address.

I was so happy, but before I alighted from the car, she asked the quizzed question.

"My dear, please what's your name?"

That was when I recalled that, I had not told her my name and then I said to her.

"Auntie, my name is Haneul Ja St.gardens.

After telling her my full name, she just stared at me and asked me just a question or rather, told me.

"You are not a Nigerian, right?"

"Yyes auntie…" I stuttered.

"It's really interesting how you could bear the same name as my son! Alright, It's settled then!"

St.gardens looked at the beautiful woman and she couldn't say anything. She was a bit surprised. The woman noticed and then said.

"My dear, you don't need to feel that way. As you may have noticed, I'm Korean, just like you. But I'm here for business and I will be leaving with my son soon. If everything works out well, we could take you back with us"

St.gardens felt Happy to hear that. She had been looking for a way to return to South Korea.

"I'm Mrs. Cho Hei, from South Korea. My mansion is on the island, Victoria Garden City. You will be living with me there after everything is done"

She was so happy, knowing that she wasn't alone. Cho Hei hugged St.gardens before she alighted from the car and they left afterwards.

**********

After everything that was like a dream to St.gardens, she was finally at the woman's house. She was standing in front of a very big mansion on the island. It's a place for the wealthy. Victoria Garden City, is one of the best places to visit in Lagos, Nigeria. With beautiful structures, off lekki Ajah express way.

St.gardens was standing outside like a lost puppy, viewing everything on sight. She was appreciating God's favour upon the family and just right there and then, she pressed the doorbell, and through an intercom, someone answered. She was asked a few questions and then, the gate automatically opened afterwards.

Immediately St.gardens entered the mansion, she was lost in her own world. The mansion was very big and beautiful. Everything was sparkling and just by looking at it alone, one could tell that they were very expressive. Cho Hei was putting on a beautiful blue gown from a well known designer, with her legs crossed and was sipping her tea. She looked elegant.

"Welcome my dear! I'm so glad you could make it!"
