Aria ,Ezra and Miller are workers at NCN collections. Aria, is a short dark skinned lady, with a very long brownish golden hair. She has a bowl leg and ring neck. She is the cleaner at the company. Ezra a guy in his late thirties , he is the companies driver. He drivers the lorry used in conveying goods shipped into the country for the company. Miller is the company's messager, he has a very funny ascent which displays a typical tribal guy .

It's about 6:30am ,Aria is sweeping the premises of the office ,when Miller and Ezra arrive into the company. "Did you sleep here over the night?"Ezra asked. "No I didn't , good morning", Aria replied in a rude way because Ezra failed to greet her . "Please pardon my manners, good morning", Ezra said. "Pardon accepted", replied Aria. "How was your night?" Miller asked. "It was perfect", Aria replied. They continue to exchanging pleasantries ,then Aria brings up the topic of Harry and Bianca.

She asked them if they had noticed the recent relationship between their boss and Bianca. Miller says he thinks they are dating officially, while Ezra counters it. "I doubt if they're now a couple", Ezra said. "Same thing I thought too, I think she is forcing herself on the boss",Aria said. "Exactly, you and I share the same thought",Ezra stated.

"But guys ,the boss isn't in anyway , pushing her away, so I think he is cool with it",Miller said. "How can you say that, what do you expect him to do when she keeps on pressing herself on him. I think he just wants to give her the respect a woman should have so she doesn't feel embarrassed",Aria added.

"I disagree Aria , we all know the boss respects no one ,so that's out of it. There has to be something she offers him that makes him overlook her acts",Ezra said. "I really detest the way she acts around him, always carrying herself like his queen, I'm so sure he doesn't feel anything for her. you know our boss, he can be so many things but wouldn't fall for an opportunist like Bianca",Aria said.

Miller states that he thinks their boss is inlove with Bianca ,but his arrogance and ego wouldn't let him show it fully. Aria is very sure that Bianca isn't the boss's love interest ,he just doesn't want her to feel disrespected. Ezra on the other ,maintains his opinion that they are not a couple but, the boss might be getting something from her which would make him calm about their supposed relationship.

Bianca is seen as a very elegant lady, intelligent and hardworking, but all knew she always makes use of the slightest opportunity she's got, not minding if it favours or displeases someone else. She always wanted to be on the winning side and show her skills at all times. Aria had heard her several times discussing with her friend Tonia ,on wanting to end up with only well made men. She had zero chance for broke dudes and wasn't ready to settle for less.

Aria knew Bianca would want to get the boss by all means ,so she concluded this was one of her set out plans. Even before her closeness to the boss, she had always acted like one who is in full charge of the company, giving orders and expecting everyone to do exactly as she had stated.

The issue wasn't that her being with the boss was bad, but the fact that she was going to place everyone below her and assume the state of their madam.

Miller talked about the times she had to slap him for not running an errand on time and when he tried reporting to the boss, he shoveled the case away. This gave him the feeling they might be together . Ezra objects and tells Miller that the only reason the boss dismissed the case was because he is a bully and enjoys seeing people suffer. He wouldn't scold Bianca because if he was the one he would do double of what Bianca did.

Aria laments that they are in trouble if their relationship was going to work out. Bianca was going to turn them into her slaves, she said. Ezra assures that the relationship wasn't going to last because they both have counter artibutes which the boss would find difficult to condole from Bianca.

"In as much as the boss is arrogant , he still has his quite and calm nature, which we all know Bianca is the direct opposite, she will definitely blow up things for him ,and I'm sure he can't live with a rascal like Bianca", Ezra said.

"You are very right , Mr Harry is totally calm and wouldn't end up with a loud lady like Bianca, although she is beautiful and we'll endowed, I doubt if those possessions can keep their relationship", Aria said. "

Although I believe they're together ,but I agree with you on this, Fire and water can't stay together, one has to overcome the other, so I strongly believe it won't last long, unless Bianca has to change herself for the boss, it's already certain that the boss changes for no one",Miller said.

"Change! you can't find that in Mr Harry's dictionary, he is an everyday constant man,who can only be changed by God himself",Ezra said. They all laugh loud ."Honestly the only reason I'm still here is because of the pay I get, I mean, it can't be compared with what I would get elsewhere if I quit", Miller said.

"Quitting isn't an option, I can face the stress just for the money",Ezra said. "Same with me ,I rather stay here and build up myself, I need to save up for my family, my siblings have to finish school and I also intend furthering my academics , Aria said.

" That's the reason we must keep on working hard and never let any of these to weigh us down",Ezra pointed out. A horn comes from the gate and Musa the gate man rushes out to open it, he looks through the little hole and shouts out to Aria, Miller and Ezra , THE BOSS IS HERE!! they all run different ways into the building.
