Hours Later, the man finally left and Amanda prepared the meal.
She felt like getting some sleep. She still had time left before going to bring Odeya back from school. So after having her bathe, she laid down to take a nap.

_______________________________________

Around 12pm when Desmond returned from the meeting, he collapsed on his chair.

Every person in the company loves Henry. They were against Desmond firing him without any good reason cos he never said the real reason.

He had been in thoughts for hours and around 4pm, he picked his phone and called Henry.

*

Henry was in his room, consoling his bad luck with bottles of beers when his phone rang and he could hærdly believe it was Desmond calling. He quickly picked it up with shaking hands.

“Hello Desmond,” he poke first.
“Let’s meet at CorBar at 7pm today,” Desmond said.
“Really? Did did you have a change of mind?” Henry asked but the call dropped.

He covered his face with his hands.. “God.. Why me!” he lamented.

_________________________________________

Amanda carried Odeya down from the car and they headed in,side.

They got in and Amanda carried her upstairs to change.

“I want a touch of blue on my casual,” Odeya said.

“Why?” Amanda asked.

“Nothing really,” odeya said.

“Sure?” Amanda asked.
“Yes” Odeya smiled.

Amanda found a blue shirt and white bom short and wore it on her.

“Good, I love it,” Deya said.
“Really, but I’m curious,” Amanda said.
“Nanny, can we take a walk today?” Odeya asked.
“Take a walk? I’m sure you have home works. Let’s do that first,” Amanda said.
“Okay,” Deya said.

Amanda smiled. “You look really excited. Can’t you tell me a little?” she asked.

“Nope, it’s my little secret,” Deya said and rubbed her stomach. “I’m hungry.”

“Let’s go to the kitchen,” Amanda said and carried her.

“Don’t carry me, I’m not a baby,” Deya said.
“You are a baby,” Amanda said.
“I’m not.”
“You are.”

**********************

6 o’clock saw Odeya and Amanda walking down the streets. Amanda held Odeya closely as they walked slowly together.

“Wow, outside in the evening is really a sight to see, I love it,” Deya said.

Amanda smiled. “Yeah it is. Let’s get ice cream.”

They bought Vanilla ice creams and enjoyed it while they strolled the street. Then they got a gathering where a group of three boys and two girls were dancing.

“Do you want to watch them?” Amanda asked her.
“Of course,” Deya said.

They joined the few crowd and watched the teenagers dancing. They soon got overtaking by their beautiful show and began clapping with the rest.

Time passed and they didn’t notice.
The exciting thing was that, they were about six different groups. After the three boys and two girls performed, Four boys and a girl did.. It was pure fun for both Amanda and Odeya.

But then it stroke Amanda and she gasped when she checked the time, it was 7:20pm.

“Deya, let’s leave.” Amanda said. She grabbed Odeya’s hand and they left the place.

“We should have stayed a little bit longer,” Deya said.
“No we can’t, let’s go.. It’s not safe staying outside by this time and you might get a mosquito bite” Amanda said.
“There’s no mosquitoes there,” Deya said.

Amanda carried her.

“Argh! I hate being carried,” Deya said.
“We have to hurry,” Amanda said and fastened her pace.

_______________

Odeya and Amanda were having their dinner when Desmond returned.

Amanda’s heart skipped on seeing him.

He walked right to them and k-ssed Deya on the cheek.

“Welcome daddy,” Deya said.

With Amanda’s face down she said, “Welcome sir.”

Desmond turned to her. “Thanks Amanda.”

‘There is something with the way he said it’ Amanda thought. ‘It felt special in someway like ‘Thanks Amanda’

She had no idea when a smile appeared on her l-ips, which only Deya saw.

Desmond wanted to talk to Amanda but he knew it has to be private without Deya.

“Deya go to bed after your dinner okay?” he said.
“Alright dad,” Deya said.

Desmond turned and headed upstairs.

“Do I really need to go to bed immediately after eating?” Deya said before shrugging and going on with her meal.
But then she looked at Amanda who was picking on her own meal.

“You still like my daddy?” she asked Amanda.

Amanda was taken aback by that.

“Huh? Of course I don’t,” Amanda lied.
“That’s good,” Deya said with a smile.

Amanda sighed, grabbed her glass of water and gulped down.

_______

Desmond returned from the bathroom and put on his night wear. Laying down with his hands behind his head and his face up towards the ceiling.

He recalled all the conversation with Henry at CorBar.

Henry had explained things in the way that made him wanna have a change of mind and just forgive Gold. Also, he told Henry to return the sack letter tomorrow and resume work immediately.

‘I can’t blame him. I can’t let that come in between our friendsh¡p besides he had no idea about it’ he had concluded.

But forgiving Gold is still the difficult one that he’s trying to accept.

Well he have no idea why he want to talk with Amanda about it Amanda!
He felt he should so he picked his phone and after staring at it for awhile, he scrolled to his message box and texted her.

????Let’s have just one beer tonight ???? he sent.

__
Amanda was telling Deya a folktale when her phone beeped of a message alert.

She opened it and felt butterflies when she read it.
She had no idea the smile on her face until Deya asked. “Why are you smiling like that?”

She quickly closed the message and chuckled. “It’s nothing. It’s my little secret.”

They both laughed.

Vanessa turned to Steve.
“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean what are you going to Nigeria to do?” Steve asked.

“For f**c sake, it should be none of your business. Damn! I ain’t telling you a damn thing,” she said before laying on the bed and covering herself with the duvet with her face at the other side.

“Vanessa I am your husband. You should tell me every f-cking thing you do,” Steve said.

“Get the hell out of my room Steve, I got a long flight tomorrow so I need to sleep,” Vanessa said.

“I know what this is all about. You are going to see your daughter cos I don’t wanna believe it’s your ex that you wanna go see!” Steve said.

“Oh my God! What’s wrong with you Steve. You are disturbing me!” Vanessa said.

“Nessa, You are going nowhere,” Steve said.

Vanessa rolled her eyes.

“You know there’s nothing you can do Steve,” she said and sat up from the bed. “Come over here baby.”

Steve walked climbed on the bed
Vanessa placed her hands on his chest and cheek. “You don’t need to worry about me cheating on you.. You know how many times I’ve caught you huh? You should know I’m going to get my daughter. Now will you leave this room before I get infuriated?” she said and k-ssed him. “Go.”

Steve inhaled, came down from the bed and walked out.

“Damn, he’s such an annoying jerk,” she said.

[Nigeria????????]

Amanda and Desmond sat opposite each other at the breakfast bar with only one can of beer in front of each person.

Amanda held hers with two hands just like Desmond did.

The silence was killing and so Desmond decided to do say something.

“Aren’t you going to drink or you are scared oglf getting drunk?” he asked jokingly.

Amanda finding that funny, couldn’t control her laughter and let it out which lasted for three seconds then she cleared her throat. “But I..I should be the one telling you that sir.” she said.

Desmond chuckled. “Really? You are not a light head?” he asked.

“Not really. I Can take up to five of it,” Amanda said.

Desmond chuckled and took a little gulp then Amanda did.

Desmond stared at her for awhile before saying, “This is what I want to tell you Amanda,”

Amanda felt her heart beat at the sound of her name from his l-ips. The way he calls it.

“W-what is it sir?” she asked.

“I want to forgive Gold but I can’t just accept to. I need your help,” he said.

Amanda raised her brows. “Sir what?”

“Is there any way you can help me change my mind?” he asked.

“I..I don’t understand sir”

Desmond gulped down the rest of his beer, stood up and walked to her.
He placed his right hand on the table and the left at the back of the chair she sat.

Amanda drew back with both fear and imaginations. Her heart was beating loudly that she feared Desmond might hear it.

‘What is he doing. Why’s he this close?”

He bent down and Amanda blinked twice.

He leaned more closer to her and Amanda hiccupped.

“I want to forgive her but I can’t just accept it. What do I do?” he said.

‘Is that why he’s this close? Just to ask me that?’ Amanda sighed and she had no idea when she pushed him away. She gasped after doing that.

“I’m I’m really sorry sir,” she apologized.

Desmond was surprised with himself. Like why did he leave his seat to lean so close to her just to ask her that? What really got over him?

Have he been charmed again?
Of course if he should suspect any other person but not Amanda. She look just pure..

Did he just say ‘she’s pure’

Amanda was still apologizing when he cleared his throat. “It’s fine. I think I got too close.”

Amanda stood up.. “I think I should go now, goodnight sir,” she said and was hurrying out when Desmond grabbed her by the hand, turned her over to face him. Both stared at each other’s eyes.

“Do you want to marry me?” he asked.

Amanda w¡dened his eyes at his question.
“S..si sir?” she stammered.

Desmond blinked his eyes and pressed his finger on a side of his head like someone suffering from a headache.

“Sorry, that wasn’t what I wanted to say.. I think I’m really drunk already. It’s okay. Goodnight,” he said, released her hand and was walking out when Amanda said.

“Yes, I want to marry you but I know it’s never going to be possible so I don’t believe your mom and my mom about you and…I, I’m just a nanny here to take care of your daughter. There shouldn’t be any other thing on my mind more than that.” she said.

Desmond turned, glanced at her then turned and walked away.

Amanda slapped her forehead.
“Oh God.. What’s going on! It feels like I’m in a dream,” she placed her hands on her fast beating chest.

_______
Desmond entered his room and collapsed on his bed.

“What is wrong with me? Why would I ask her such a question? Oh God this is embarrassing! What suddenly came over me. This is really crazy… What do I do.”

Minutes later, he concluded on what to say to her so he stood up, walked to the door and opening it, there stood Amanda on his door.

“Let’s not make this look awkward..” she said. “…you don’t have to think or worry about the reason why your mom employed me here. It’s even funny to think about. You should forgive Gold as well. I think you’d feel better after that and please bring back your best friend and secretary. I’m sure he wouldn’t have connected you to Gold if he knew her intentions,” she finished up, then turned, walked to her room and entered.

Desmond stood there as he stared at the closed door of her room.

Two days Later????

The previous day was really uneventful.
Nothing special happened.
Desmond left to work very early in the morning and returned late too after which he told Amanda that Henry is back to work but before that, Amanda have heard it already from Chioma who she spoke with.

Nothing again was said between them. Everyone retired to his and her room.

“”

But as Amanda was preparing Odeya’s breakfast and school lunch, Desmond walked in and she was quick to notice due to the sound of his flipflops.

She turned and greeted him “Goodmorning sir,”

“Thanks Amanda. Please I want a plate of that too,” he said.

Amanda was surprised. “You mean this spaghetti?”

“Yes.” Desmond answered.

‘Okay what the heck? He has never taken anything part from tea in the morning, why is he wanting to eat spaghetti suddenly?’ Amanda wondered.

Yesterday, they really didn’t speak with each other like the last two nights.
It was stupid, but sincerely, she was hoping that he calls her out for another drink but last night, none of that happened.

“Okay sir,” she answered.

He walked to the refrigerator, opened it and took out a bottle of cold water and a drinking glass.

“For two months that I brought Odeya to Nigeria, none of her nannies were able to stay more than a week with her. She was sassy and a bunch of complainer and insulter. I’m surprised about you Amanda,” he said and drank the water which he had poured into the glass cup.

Amanda couldn’t understand why her heart skipped at that.
It felt like when your boyfriend is praising you for being the best girlfriend in the world.

Amanda felt really excited but she had no idea what to say.
Thank goodness he spoke again..

“You’d make a good mom to your kids, your man would be very lucky to have you as his woman,” he told her and, it felt like a torture to her.
Why’s he telling her that.

Is he trying to play with her heart, mind, body and soul?

But what Amanda didn’t notice was the smile on Desmond’s face as he left the kitchen.

She rushed to the door, peeped out to make sure he was really out. She walked back to the counter.

“Why is he telling me something like that?” she sighed.

*
Desmond walked back upstairs to prepare for work.
As he took his bathe, it was the best moment to think about his conversation with Henry yesterday.

«««««««
“I can’t believe I’m back here. It’s like a dream. I can’t imagine myself with you Desmond and without this company,” Henry said.

They were in his office.

“That’s okay. I can’t loose you because of the stupid thing I did. Like I told you yesterday, Really, it was my fault. If only I haven’t eaten those meals she brought. I think it all began with them. But I’m grateful to God that it didn’t get to far to stop,” Desmond said.

“Desmond, I hope you find a place in your heart to sincerely forgive her soon. She’s being cured right now but they said she’d need your forgiveness to get fully okay,” Henry said.

“I pray that I do,” Desmond said and dropped a file in his hands.
“Here, help me to take the blue file to the manager and the green to the HR.”

“Alright sir,” Henry said then stood up to leave but got stopped by Desmond.

“I think I’m in love,” Desmond said.

Henry turned with wide eyes.
“Really? Who’s the lucky girl?” he asked.

Desmond chuckled. “I don’t really know why I suddenly fell for her. But I noticed how sweet and beautiful she is. She’s natural, nice, understanding and can change someone,” he said.

“Wow!” Henry exclaimed and walked back to the table. “Who’s she?”

“My daughter’s nanny, Amanda,” Desmond said.

Henry jaw dropped. “What? Tell me you are joking right now.”

Desmond exhaled. “I want to make her my wife. Such a person that was able to change my daughter in just a week. Such a person that was so damn bothered about Gold who wanted to make my house a living hell for her. I think she’s one of a kind. I’ve never met a lady like her,” he said.

Henry nodded. “Sincerely she is one of a kind. She calls my sister every day to ask about Gold and promised to do her best to make you change your mind. Sincerely, I think she deserves your love Desmond. She’s a good woman,” he said.

Desmond smiled. “But I think it’s too early to tell her about my feelings.”

“I don’t think she will refuse a man like you Desmond unless she has a fiancé,” Henry said.

“She has no fiancé and she won’t say ‘yes’ to my proposal,”

“Why?” Henry asked.

“Cos she won’t believe it’s possible. And again, she made a promise to my daughter to bring me and Vanessa back together. Funny right?” Desmond said.

“Really. Vanessa is married. I think it’s time you tell that to your daughter,” Henry said.

“I think so..”

“And tell Amanda about your feelings too. I believe she is a different woman, beautiful and endowed.”

Desmond smiled. “You can go now. We will talk after work,” he said.

“Alright,” Henry said and walked out.

“Argh I can’t believe it..” Henry muttered with an amazed smile.

»»»»

After preparing and dressing up for work, Desmond went downstairs and as usual, met Odeya having her breakfast with Amanda next to her.

They both shared quick glance and Desmond settled down opposite Odeya.
Amanda prayed not to make eye contact with him.
She stood up “A minute sir,” she said and left.

Desmond inhaled

“Deya, how was your night?” he asked.
“It was fine, dad, and yours?”
“Fine as well.”

Amanda soon returned with Desmond’s meal in a tray. She carefully dropped it in front of him but as she was doing so, her arm brushed on his.
It was electrifying for the both.

Amanda quickly jumped back and both stared at each other in the eyes for few seconds then Amanda was the first to look away.

She left to the kitchen and rested her b*tt on the counter. She sighed and slapped her forehead.
“What’s this!?”

*

“She doesn’t look okay right, dad?” Odeya asked after Amanda hurried to the kitchen.

“Really?”

“Dad she likes you,” Odeya said causing Desmond to pause the meal he was chewing.
“But I told her you and mom is gonna be back soon,” she said.

Desmond sighed.

Amanda only returned when she heard Desmond leaving.
He was already at the exit door when she returned back to the dinning with Deya’s lunch box.

Desmond noticed it, turned and glanced at her before walking out.

“I thought maybe you slept off in the kitchen,” Odeya said.

Amanda chuckled awkwardly, “of course not.”

“Okay, because of my daddy?” Deya asked.

“Huh?” Amanda raised her brows.

“I told him that you like him but he said nothing. It means that he doesn’t like you too,” Deya said.

Amanda felt hurt by that.
It’s just a talk from a little girl but she felt hurt by that.
That Desmond doesn’t like her.

Not wanting to think much about it, she quickly wore Deya her bag.

“Let’s go,” she said.

_________________________________________

When Amanda returned from Odeya’s school. She got reckless.
She walked to and fro her room in thoughts.

“Is it really through that he doesn’t like me? If he doesn’t then why did he ask me if I want to marry him two nights ago?”

“Does he still love his ex wife and want her back?”

“What do I do, I’m going crazy?”

“I fell in love with him, I’m so stupid!”

“If only I never helped his mom, I wouldn’t be here now! No no, I can’t regret helping her, no!”

“What do I do about this!”

“He doesn’t like me.”

_________________________________________

The time was exactly 3:30pm when Odeya saw her dad walk into their class.

“Hello Mr Okoye, are you here to pick Odeya?” Mrs Tonia, their form teacher asked him.

“Yes I am,” he said.

“But I thought it’s her nannies that pick her up now,” Mrs Tonia said.

“I’m going home so I decided to pick her up. I’ve called her nanny she won’t be coming, come dear, let’s go,” he said.

Odeya stood up from her seat and walked to him.
“Dad, but what’s wrong with your voice and why ain’t you at work?” she asked.

“Oh, I had cough, let’s go,” he said and grabbed her hand.

“Bye Deya,” her classmates said ad they left the class.

A taxi was waiting for them.

“Dad, why a taxi and not your car?” Deya asked.

“My car suddenly got faulty. I will take you home and pick another one. Let’s go baby,” he said and Carrie her in. The door closed and the taxi man zoo me off.

Just as they were passing the school gate, Peter and Amanda drove in and Odeya saw the car.

“Dad, but that’s my nanny. I thought you said you informed her not to come?” she asked.

He gave her a grinning smile that scared her.

“Do I really look like your dad?” he asked.

“You are not my dad? But you have his face, his body and also wearing the suit he wore today,” she said.

“Kid, I’m not your dad. Now sleep awhile. You are going to meet your mother.” he said.

“My mother?” Odeya asked.

He didn’t answer but took out a handkerchief, pressed it on her nose and she fell asleep.

“Step on the gas Don,” he said to the driver.
