Scene 3: First Days and Dress Codes.Mr. John smiled and replied, "My daughter studied business administration at the University of Nigeria.""That's excellent. Please submit her CV when she's home. I'm sure we have vacancies for new bees like her. I'll look forward to seeing it," Mr. Taiye replied."Father!" Liam quickly cut him off, his frown deepening. "You can't just set me up like that."His father smiled. "I know, son. I was simply trying to compensate Mr. John Patrick for his dedication to the company over the past twenty years."Mr. John bowed slightly as he prepared to leave. "I'll take my leave now, boss. Thank you and congratulations again, Liam," he said, excusing himself.Liam sighed. He walked with his father to the front of the meeting hall, where they stood near the exit door.

Her mother was beaming, but her father maintained his usual, stoic expression as he drove.He was proud that Anita hadn't let her beauty cloud her ambition, but he was still perplexed as to why she was the prettiest of all his daughters. Though his wife hadn't given him a son, he wasn't dwelling on it. Their customs allowed a woman to inherit her father's property, even if married, but the question of Anita's paternity lingered in his mind.He sighed as he drove closer to their home, which was only a short distance from the city.Arriving, he drove into their simple compound and parked. Their home was a modest bungalow: four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and five toilets and bathrooms. Mr. Joshua Baker owned the house, having acquired it directly from the landowners. He sat in the car, while Anita and her mother got out. Anita's five sisters – Flora, Esther, Favo

Anita entered the kitchen, not speaking to her mother, but her face held a sorrow that Mrs. Tonia understood all too well."Anita," Mrs. Tonia called softly."What is it, Mom?" Anita asked, walking to her side."I want you to know that your father really does love you, like the rest of your siblings. He isn't against your success," Mrs. Tonia said, holding Anita's hand."Hmph," Anita sighed. "I know, Mom, but I don't care. If Dad likes me, fine; if he doesn't, fine. I'll always see him as my father, and that's all.""Anita..." Mrs. Tonia started."Mom, where's the fufu?!" Flora interrupted, stepping into the kitchen. She glanced at Anita and walked to the kitchen cabinet. "Mom, why are you holding her hands and talking to her? Are you begging her for something?" Flora asked, crossing her arms."No, Flora, I'm just giving Anita some advi

Scene 6: Tensions and a Troubling Call.Mrs. Tonia didn't respond after Flora left the room. She sighed and sat beside Anita on the bed as Favour and Esther exited. "You shouldn't be harsh with your sister. Arguing wasn't necessary.""I know, Mom, but they disrespect me too much. They're getting out of hand," Anita replied."It's okay. I understand, but don't change because of them. Keep being my sweet, calm daughter," Mrs. Tonia advised."Okay, Mom," Anita sighed, staring at her mother.Glory walked up to sit on the bed. "I've got to go join your father. Glory, pack your bags and come join Anita here," Mrs. Tonia said."Okay, Mom," Glory replied, heading to the room she shared with Lisa.

She sighed and glanced at Flora, who seemed worried, before walking back to sit on the couch."What do you think is the problem?" Esther asked Flora, but Flora shook her head. "I don't know, but I'm worried it's something serious."They sat waiting for their father or mother to emerge and tell them what was wrong.Anita sighed and went to her room. She didn't know what the problem was, but she suspected her mother would tell them, even if her father didn't want to. She'd noticed her father was already dressed for work before whatever news he received shook him. She prayed silently, "Please, don't let it be that my father has lost his job."Anita shook her head, feeling that her father's earlier outburst echoed in her mind, related to his work. She sat on her bed and started to type her application to the Benson Group – the one she'd intended to sen

"Come in," he called.Margret entered, holding a file, and smiled faintly. She kept her gaze lowered, stopping in front of his desk."Yes… remind me of your name again?"

Liam asked, and she stepped closer."Sir, Mr. John Patrick brought this file this morning and asked me to give it to you," Margret said, meeting his gaze."Okay, just leave it there."

"Do you want to be fired?" he asked."No, boss," Margret nervously responded. She couldn't lose her job. It was one of the highest-paying jobs she could get, and the work wasn
