Chapter 12

My dad went to the security's place when he closed from work to tell him to carry out some plan.

He told him to hide inside his room tonight at the exact time they came the other day. He should get his phone ready when he sees them getting inside. He should make sure he gets a video of them for evidence.

The security told him that he'll do as instructed. My dad went home to rest and he was very much sure that he'll definitely find out the culprit.

Alexander and I have been having a great day in school. When school closed, Ava wanted to go home with me in my car but I told her that I didn't bring my car.

" Did you walk to school?" Ava was surprised.

" No Alexander came to pick me up at home" I was smiling.

" Really! Has it been an everyday thing? Because I remember him taking us home the other day too" she asked.

" He's my friend and I feel okay when he keeps me company," I explained.

" I think Alex is snatching my friend from me already or is someone falling in love?" She asked curiously.

" Come on Ava, I'm not ready for love at this time" I knew I was lying because I'm beginning to feel different for Alexander ever since we started this group learning thing. 

" So can I join you guys in the car while we go home?" Ava asked.

" Oh sorry, we're not going home yet. We have something important to do in school" 

" Okay if you say so" I could see that Ava was suspecting something but the truth is Alex and I are still friends.

Ava went out and ordered an Uber to get home. Alexander came and asked if we would go to his class or mine.

"Yesterday we went to your class so let's go to my class so that it will be fair enough"

We sat at the far end of the class.

I was teaching Alex something when I felt that he wasn't concentrating but rather looking at me.

I felt very shy and decided to stop teaching.

" Why did you stop?" He asked.

" You're making me uncomfortable, stop staring at me Alex" I answered.

" When you look very busy, I can see my hardworking wife trying to help me make money," he smiled after saying that.

 I told him not to start his jokes again. 

" I'm very serious Sera, I want a hardworking girlfriend like you" he specified.

I started blushing and told him that we should get back to business because I didn't want him to continue again.

At that point, I really wish he was my boyfriend because when I sit beside him I feel something different in me and I don't really know whether it is love or not.

We continued with our studies, he taught me and I taught him too. Things were going well for us when it came to our academics because we were always learning together and we really believed that we were going to pass our final exam.

We wrapped everything up and went home. He took me home and when we were at the gate.

" Alex, my parents want to see you and Ava. I'll bring you guys home one day for you to see them" I told him.

He kept quiet and just nodded.

I got down and he drove off.

He got home and his father asked him why he has kept school closed long after school closed because he always comes early. He just said he was learning with a friend. 

His dad then got a call from his assistant.

" Hello Sir please can I go with the gangs because it's better I follow them for the operation because they didn't bring the exact number of jewelry the other day" he asked his boss.

Mr Harrinngton told him that if that's the case, then he should follow them. 

" What operation are you talking about dad?" Alex questioned him from the back.

His dad didn't respond and went upstairs.

I was in my room that night when I got a call from Alexander. He's never called me before so I was wondering why he called me.

" Hey I was calling to find out whether you've gotten home safely" 

" I don't think this is the reason for calling me because you dropped me at the gate of my house and also saw me enter the house" I was shocked.

" I'm sorry, I'm just missing my friend, that's why I called," he explained.

We had a great conversation and I enjoyed every bit of it. We had the conversation until 1am in the middle of the night, forgetting that we will go to school the next day.

The gangs entered the gate of the company after opening it with their spare key. The security saw them but now another person was with them. They had their masks on but he took the video and waited for them to come back because there was a CCTV camera. Unfortunately for them, the lights were off and they were not working too. They had to remove their masks so that they could see well with the phone lights.

They went to the assigned place and found nothing. They searched everywhere but didn't find it. They got disappointed and decided to leave. When they got out, their faces were exposed because they forgot to put on their masks again.

The security got a nice view of them and planned to show it to his boss.

The gangs went back with disappointed faces.

He sent the videos to his boss with the hope that he will find out when he wakes up the next day.

My dad was preparing for work and he took his phone while dressing up and saw a video of the gangs with their faces. He managed to hear what they were saying.

He heard one saying that the secretary had given them the wrong place where the jewelry is.

My dad saw their faces but didn't know which

company they were coming from. He was very sure that Mr Harrington had sent them.
