Chapter 3

Later in the evening, Emma had made all enquirers on how to secure a loan from the bank and was sure of her appointment with the bank manager tomorrow. She also made enquires on the possible location to get a store and what kind of business will move well there. She came up with the options of a provision store, a foodstuff shop and babies shop.
“I have made all necessary arrangement for the loan and shop, so by tomorrow I can secure the loan then you can start up your business immediately,.

“So fast?
Emma thank you so much, you are indeed a friend and a caring and selfless one at that.
“Can you stop thanking me; you are more like a sister than a friend to me.
I will do anything for you as long as it’s in my capacity.
“Which of these business can you manage properly, foodstuff, provision and babies.

“Well I think I can manage foodstuffs properly.

“Well I agree but I think babies will be more lucrative, one because of the location and then the gain from one product is far bigger than that of foodstuffs.

 “Well if you feel that one is better, we better go for it you know I trust your judgment a lot.

 “Alright then, will conclude everything tomorrow.

“Emma thank you so much”.

“You are Welcome.

Kennedy William has interviewed a lot of applicant but wasn't satisfied with any of them so he decided to ask the rest of the applicants to go.
Kennedy is a young man of 33years old, he was married before to a lady Cleopatra whom he loved so much. The Couple were very much in love with each other that they hardly spent time away from each other, when one travels the other will not be comfortable staying alone in the house. Kennedy is blessed with all the good things of life, like riches, good looks, and happiness. His happiness was crushed when he lost his wife to death during childbirth. He has been finding it difficult to move on with his life since his wife passed away. His daughter has been taken care of, all thanks to his parents and the Nanny he has been employing. The death of his wife made him lose hope in everything, he became cold and mean to his workers. No one has seen him smile ever since the wife’s death.
He receives a call from his parents asking him to come back to his house that something happened.
He rushes off to see them on getting home, he found them fuming with anger,
“what is wrong with you, have you lost it Kennedy.

“Mom, what is the urgent matter that you had to call me out from the office like that.
” “You still have the right to ask questions, how dare you leave my 3yrs old granddaughter all alone in this big house of yours.
 “Leave her alone?
What are you two talking about, the Nanny was around when I left.
“Well obviously your so called nanny is nowhere to be found because we came back here and meet Bella crying.

“How that possible wait, let me call her to know where she went to without my consent.

He tries the nanny’s number but it wasn't connecting, this got him worrying about what must have happened to her.

“She did ask me for money for Bella’s feeding and other things like she said, so I gave her money to buy them, Kennedy recalls.

“How much did you give her.

“I gave her close to #500,000, maybe she has gone to buy all those things she mentioned.

“Let’s hope so too.

“Meanwhile, come we have something to discuss with you.

They all left to the living room where they can relax and discuss.

In the living room they all sat down on the cushion, waiting for the nanny to return, it’s almost late yet the nanny is no where to be found.
“This getting serious, I need to ask the gateman where she told him she was going to when she left.
Outside the building, He Called
 “John!
John!
“Yes boss.

“Where did Esther go to.

“Sir, I don’t know, in the morning after you left, she came outside with her bags.
I asked her where was going to and she told me that you gave her permission to travel home.
“What!
And you didn't care to tell me when I came back.
“Am sorry boss, I thought you were aware of her travel.

Kennedy left him apologizing and went upstairs to Esther’s room, he checked the wardrobe and her closet and found out that she has cleared everything in there.
Then it dawned on him that the nanny is gone and she left with his money. He went back downstairs angry, his mother seeing his face asked
 “what did the gateman say“
“Can you imagine this girl left my house without my consent and to make matters worst she left with my money.

“What!
How dare her, does she not have any idea of the family she Is messing with. But I don’t blame her at all if my son had agree to remarry after the death of his wife, this won’t be happening.
“Mom you have started again with this your marriage talk, must everything we say be linked to this topic.

“Yes it will be, until you agree to do the needful.
Ken It has been 3years already, you have to move on, you daughter needs a mother not a nanny.
 “I will get married when I meet the right woman but for now let this issue slide please.

“The right woman you say, you and I know there is no such thing as the right woman.
You have meet so many women yet you find fault in all of them, what about this last girl that I saw at your place the last time I came. She seems nice, why don’t you marry and give Bella a mother.
“Mother please let’s not stress this issue again, I will marry when am ready but for now please can you take of Bella for me until I get a new nanny, Kennedy pleads.

She hissed “Am only doing this for my granddaughter not because of you, let me go and pack some of her clothes.

“Thanks a lot, I really appreciate.
