‘how may i help you?’ she asked in the most polite
manner ever.
He smiled ‘i am Tony Brown by name, whats

‘oh!’ the lady exclaimed ‘so you are the man
named Tony Brown. Its so nice to meet you.
Anyways i am Stella Lawrence by name’ She said
in a sophisticated manner. He nodded.
‘nice to meet you Stella.’ he said.
‘nice to meet you too mr. Tony.’
‘i think Tony is okay.’
she smiled.
‘can i have your card?’ he asked. Stella nodded.
‘sure!’ she opened her purse and handed her card
to Tony.
‘i will be expecting your call soon’ she said and
drove away.
Ansa noticed the way Alice had bbeen stretching
her neck towards the the window. She was no
longer concentrating in their discussion.
‘Alice, what are you looking at na?’ he said also
stretching his neck through the window.
‘this your friend Tony, is he married?’ she asked.
‘he lost his wife ten years ago. Since then he has
been unable to move on’ he explained
‘eyaa! I pity him. Does he have children?’ she
asked
‘yes. Just a daughter. She is sixteen now i guess’
he replied.
‘such a poor girl! What a pity!’ she sighed. Ansa
shrugged
‘is he a flirt?’ she asked in a whisper
‘no. Tony doesnt even have time for ladies. He
hasnt even dated since the death of his wife. I
wonder if his hormones are dead’ he said. Alice
laughed loudly. She saw Tony coming and she
stopped. She took notice of his handsome features.
He was really handsome. She understood why the
stupidly pretty lady gave him her card easily. She
couldnt understand his discussion but she
understood what was going on. He smiled
apologetically.
‘i’m so sorry for staying long’ he apologised. She
smiled lost in fantasy……..

‘he went out on a date’ she said. Nneka looked at
her surprised.
