ALEX Before I could answer Grace, I got distracted by a call from Paul. Thank God he called, I didn’t know what I was going to say to Grace that would convince her to leave my room. I smiled sheepishly at Grace, watching her glare at me with a look that said “You’re not off the hook”,I dashed out of my office into the lounge to talk to Paul.“Hey dude, what’s up?”, “Hi, yeah man all’s good. Uh have you heard from Marga?”, he askedI was a bit confused. I didn’t know who Marga was, or why Paul would ask me about her/him.“Who’s Marga dude?”, I asked trying to clear up my doubt“The girl from the club two nights ago man. The one you gave $10,000”, he addedPaul didn’t know I gave her $12k instead of $10k and I wanted to keep it that way for some odd reason.“Uh no, I haven’t heard from her, why ask”, “She hasn’t been to work in 2 days, i was starting to get worried, and her number is unreachable”, he stated“Ah don't know man, maybe you should ask the other girls in the club, they sh

ALEXAs the first rays of sunlight gently peeked through the curtains, of my room, I wiggled in my cozy bed. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling well-rested and content after a restful night's sleep.

I loved to watch the sunrise or at least be in the sun for 15 minutes daily. As I drew back the curtains, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: the sky painted in hues of pink, orange, and gold a

MARGAWhile in the bathroom, I wondered what tonight was going to look like. I had never been to his house, I didn’t know anything about him, not even his name.

I didn’t have to break a sweat on making an impression with what to wear ‘cause he said he’s sending an outfit for me. I didn’t have any proper clothes, I was going to wear any of my rags.

I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but his gestures were commendable.I rose up from the bath tub, stretching my hand out to my faucet for support to stand upright. I grabbed my towel and ruffled it through my wey my hair hoping to make it dry. I felt like a well plucked chicken after shaving every single strand
