The Real Suspect Episode 16
Lance sat in his office still thinking on how to gain the contract but no clue was coming up from his mind.
”Gosh!! This is running off my hands” Lance said hitting his hands on the table
”I know that little brat has told his father to grant him the contract” Lance said referring to Kehinde
”If I had known, I wouldn’t have made him know” Lance added and Jasmine walked in immediately
”Good morning Sir” Jasmine greeted with a smile
”Yes Jasmine, how are you” Lance asked not feeling relaxed
”I’m fine Sir, you are not relaxed” She said to him
”This company is loosing from a competition” Lance said
”Anyways, here is your letter of promotion. Once you walk outside, call me Jide” He said and Jasmine picked up the letter smiling
”Thank you Sir” She smiled and tried leaving but she turned back
”Isn’t there anything I can do about this Sir” Jasmine said and Lance starred at her..

”Mom, seriously, this is getting out of hand. Dad is claiming her doesn’t know that my company is competing for the Contract” Kehinde said standing angrily in the parlour of Mr. Kole. Mr. Kole never felt moved by his reactions as he was drinking a glass of fruit juice and operating the television
”Dear, why did you do this to your son” Mrs. Kole asked him
”Well, I didn’t know he was among the competitors. Afterall I didn’t have the names of companies competing for it” Mr. Kole lied
”You lie dad!” Kehinde said aloud placing his hands on his waist
” A contract is never done that way” He added
”I have told you and you dare not shout at me!!” Mr. Kole said to Kehinde raising his voice
”That I am your father doesn’t mean I will sign a contract to you. You couldn’t compete, period!!” Mr. Kole exclaimed
”Mom, can you hear what dad is saying?” Kehinde said to his mother as his eyes turned red in tears
”Alright, please darling, He is in need of this. Why not sign it for him” Mrs. Kole said trying to calm everyone down
”I’m sorry to say but I have given off the contract to more serious companies and not companies that rely on their father” Mr. Kole said
”No.. Dad, that’s not true, you can’t” Kehinde said
”Well, I have already” Mr. Kole attacked his speech
”Honey, that’s unfair” Mrs. Kole said to Mr. Kole
”Now this nonsense is enough!!” Mr. Kole shouted
”You failed and that’s all” Mr. Kole said
”I need to take a nap.. When you are done with your mother, you can have the door” Mr. Kole said and left them with his glass of fruit juice.
”God!!” Kehinde exclaimed forcefully sitting on the couch
”It’s alright my Son. It’s not the end of the world. After all you have been hardworking. No one can deny that. Just take this one as a life experience” Mrs. Kole tried consoling Kehinde
”Never Mom.. Dad can not do this to me.. He can’t!!” Kehinde said and picked up his car keys
”Kehinde!! Kehinde!!” Mrs. Kole called but before she could say anything else, Kehinde banged the door behind
”Heii!! What’s all this” She asked herself confused
”Dear!! Dear!! You can’t just do this and walk upstairs” Mrs. Kole murmured aloud and fastly walked upstairs where Mr. Kole was.
