“Ahhhhh, Jesus Christ” he exclaimed shockingly
“Hope no problem Sir?” a Marchant that had been noticing his hide and seek curiously asked.
“Nothing” he said and moved away from him furiously
Adewale was unspecific about what he was supposed to do.
He waited a little to know what would end their undefined meeting
