14: HE CONTROLLED HER

"Good day ma'am." He greeted her with his tender voice like butter, showing off his white teeth.

"Good day to you too young man." Manoah came to stand beside his wife while firmly staring at the young man who made his wife speechless.

The young man's attention shifted to Manoah and his smile stretched.

"Good day sir, it's nice meeting both of you." He spoke like a gentleman and Manoah dropped his guard.

"Are you in need of direction or something?" Matilda asked nicely and he shook his head at her question before explaining why he came.

"I came to see Reese."

"Reese?!" Manoah's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe his ears.

"By this time of the day?" It was almost close to night time and Matilda had a suspicious look.

"We both agreed on having a date today...by this time ma'am...didn't she tell you?" A frown marred his forehead and he looked worried.
