Chapter 21

" I need to train you so you can start working with us as soon as possible."

" I understand you Ma'am, but I must also inform my parents so I can be properly released. My boss here must also release him because I'm presently his right-hand woman."

"I'll gladly do so if people need you more than I do."

" Are you married?"

" Not yet, Ma'am," replied Asabea.

" Is he the one in the picture?" winking once again this time, directly at Asabea. Asabea flinched.

" Not exactly."
