Jula
“There is no need for that sweetie Alhajj has already taken care of us I learnt it through my supervisor Mam B.”

“That is very nice of him he has help us families who would have taken care of our love ones no matter what.”
Jula
“Please inform our mothers and tell them I am fine.”

“No sweet heart you know how our mothers are they will come over and cause nuisance wait until you come to the village and inform them about it.”
Jula
“Okay if you say so these are our mothers for you 6 and 9.” The duo laughed hilariously.

The Next Day
She reported to work and Alhajj called her to his office.
At Alhajj’ Office
Majula got in and greeted him.
Alhajj Saa
“I am very sorry for what has happened to you are you okay now? It is my fault business palaver.” Jula nodded her head.
“It is one of those ugly incidents associated with our job to get rich quick there are so many adversaries ready to cut one’ head.”
Alhajj opened his drawer and took out a cheque of D100, 000. 00 and gave it to Jula she stared and gaped;
Jula
“All this for me?”
Alhajj
“Yes, it is for you to show my appreciation and erased your discomfort experienced due to my fault.”
Jula
She thanked him and showed her appreciation as she left Alhajj showed amorous eyes watching her back. She couldn’t believe she held such an amount of money she went to the staff wash room and locked the door after her as she read the cheque then rang Fams;
“Sweetie, the Chairman calls me to his office and apologized to me for being caught in the crossfire and compensated me with guess what one hundred thousand dalasi.”
Fams
“What! That’ a huge sum of money.” Then he reflected and said;
“That’ very thoughtful of him.”
Jula
“I’ll be going back to my work, love you we’ll see by the weekend am expecting you bye!”
Fams
He became uneasy as he debates in his mind;
“Why do her boss gave her this huge sum of money? It is temptation oh she is a young girl it can blow off her mind money palaver!” The suspicious mind reasoned with unease.
The other mind has clear conscience and he pinched himself;
“What are you saying? Please give your good wife credit if she was in foul play she would not have inform you she would have kept it in secret have a clear conscience and open up for her not to put you in the dark as most women do.”
He laughed over it and blamed himself for harbouring such a thought.
