Some minutes later, she came back to the room. She was still there, “Where did you keep your phone? I was calling you.”
“I’m not a kid, ma.” She replied. “Seriously, you should have called. I was worried about you.”
“I’m back, Mrs Adeleke. Can I have some rest, please?” Amber replied, rudely. Helen stood up and left her room, she trying to avoid another quarrel with her daughter.

You don’t know that guy? The guy last night.” Kim said, staring at her. She shook her negatively. “Ah, you don’t know him. Best, he’s the latest bachelor in town.”
“I was surprised, when I saw you guys together.” Uju said. “I thought, she will even push him away, just like she did to other guys.” Sam said and sip from the glass. “Me too. And he’s hot. Well polite and mannered man. His father is late tho, his dad was the former governor of Osun state.” Stacey said.
“I hope you didn’t push him away, like you always do to other guys?” Sam asked, Kim sighed softly.
“Guys please, let’s talk about something else. How’s the birthday going to be? Where are you celebrating your birthday?”
“Uhm, well…I haven’t uhmm, you know. I still thinking about it.” Amber replied. “You know what guys, I think she should forget about it. We are friends and I’m paying for the hotel, wh@ťěver place we’re going to stay.” Uju said

“Uhm, it’s nice..I have to go now.” Amber said. “And don’t worry, I will pay the bills for everything on the table.”
“Would you mind if I take another bottle of champagne.” Uju said. “I thought you are married, your husband will get you one.”
“Com’on, Amii..” Uju said, in pleading tone. “No problem..make an order before I leave.” Amber said and Uju called the waiter, she told him what she wants, some minutes later he came back with it.

“Seriously? I can’t even sell it for 29.9 million.” She replied. “What’s last price?”
“It’s 30 million naira only.” She replied, she turned and saw her ranting in anger.
“What’s the meaning of this? Selling off your father’s house. Why? When did you become a monster? Ehn, Mide..”
She only smiled at her, and returned to the gentleman. “Is it going or not?” She asked.
Helen couldn’t take it anymore, she called Derrick and Kim. She told them, what Amber is trying to do.
“It’s too much, I don’t have such amount of money.”
“Alright, make use of the door.” Amber replied and the young man, left. Derrick and Kim saw them leaving, they were talking about the house.
“You want to sell the house? What the fúçk is wrong with you?” Derrick yelled, almost losing it. In fact he has lost it.
“And who gave you the audacity to talk, when am talking with mom.”
“The one you care about? Huh? Don’t do anything stupid Derrick, she’s your elder sister..” His mom cut him off.
“Mommy, please have a sit. I will talk to Amber myself, please. Derrick,
Jọwọ tọju iya. Emi yoo sọrọ si Amber.” Kim mumbled and rushed to Amber.
“Shey you are okay? Why are you trying to sell the house? Are you broke?” Kim asked, looking at her.
“No, you’re not broke. Why trying to sell the house? Today’s your father’s 5th anniversary and you didn’t attend to it. And finally you came back from, somewhere that I can’t even tell.
