SUSANSusan shuts down her laptop in frustration. This is the fourth job she has submitted all requirements for, she waited a long time for feedback after all the online interviews she has honored and online tests she has taken to prove that she is qualified for the job, only to get a mail that she wasn't shortlisted. With a bigger reason to nag at her husband that evening, Susan waits for Henry's arrival. She hates the neighborhood, Henry promised her that his neighbors are very friendly and would make her feel at home but she doesn't feel welcome at all in their midst. Ever since she arrived with him in the United States, they act weird whenever she is around them or walks in on them having a discussion. Being from an African home, she understands what it means whenever people give you such countenance, it's for you to speak words to your feet where they can hear and be on your own. She has learned to keep her distance whenever Henry isn't home or when he is even out with them, she

SUSANSusan gets back to the house with nylons filled up with groceries, her husband's flight is scheduled for the next day and he would be away for two years or more, so she needed to pack enough groceries and African spices that would last him a while before he settles for junks or adjust to their meal.He was home, she calls his attention to let himknow that she is back. She drops a few groceriesfor their consumption in the kitchen and takes the remaining bags upstairs to her husband "Here you go" Henry exclaims at the sight of the extremely filled bags as Susan hands them over to him "you bought the whole store? Susan! I'm going there to study not to eat and get fat like you" "Wow!" Susan rolls her eyes at his statement, she is adapting to his constant shades about her appearance which can be irritating whenever she is in a goofy mood "I'm sorry I cared too much about your wellbeing, hand it over" she snaps at Henry and snatches the bags from him angrily "Hey! I didn't mean to

She works in a thriving skincare firm but of late, distribution has drastically reduced and everyone thinks it is the situation of the economy but with this memo shared with each of them, speculations start flying round and round.Nora slides her chair from her desk, and goes towards her partner who shares the same office with her.

CHICHIChichi relished every bit of the aesthetics of the neighborhood as her driver approached Louisana. From the sidewalk to the beautiful trees acting as sheds, the neighborhood is filled with high-rise buildings. The distance from the gate to the company seems endless and extremely beautiful, the smell of luxury filled the air. It's a huge firm with extraordinary architectural values, She couldn't but appreciate the structure, the design, and the quality of everything that caught her eyes as they drive in.She alights from the taxi and walks briskly to the reception, the interior is no way compared to the exterior. She could tell that the CEO does have an exquisite taste, from the floor she walks on to the glass doors that opened to welcome her. The paintings on the wall are originals directly from the painter, she knows a little about paintings but she can tell these are limited editions, perhaps one design to have existed.
