Chapter 35

  AN ESCORT

  "What does Bimpe doesn't have a say in?" Bimpe asked again.

  Ayoade wanted to ignore her like she has been doing to him but he felt he needed to tell her. Raliat was her friend. She needed to know.

  "Bimpe, sit", he instructed.

  "You haven't answered my question," Bimpe said, still not moving.

  He looked up at her. He saw pain, hatred, courage, disgust and he saw confidence.

  "I have some things to tell you."

  She looked at him eyeingly and gently moved to sit.

  "I'm sorry for all that has been happening between us which ought not to have happened. I have realized the gravity of my deed and I want to implore you to forgive me. I'm sorry Bimbim."

  Bimpe was silent for a while before bursting into laughter. "So you've realized your mistakes after you have ruined me? You must be crazy."
