Why? Because you are a badass lawyer and the President’s son
(Rere comes out of the bathroom to find Alex waiting for her outside the bathroom)
Rere: hey (smiling)
Alex: hey (Rere walks into the bedroom and he follows her) what happened?
Rere: (starts wearing her clothes back) work happened
Alex: why are you dressing up?
Rere: I told you work happened
Alex: so you are going to work?
Rere: yes
Alex: can’t whatever it is wait till tomorrow
Rere: if I let it wait till tomorrow, things will go awfully bad
Alex: for my father?
Rere: yes
Alex: well I can’t say I don’t like that
Rere: I know you don’t mean that
Alex: I don’t feel comfortable letting you go to work at this late hour
Rere: before you came here, I have been working
Alex: I can see that
Rere: don’t worry,. I will be fine
Alex: or I think I should drive you to where you are going
Rere: Alex, stop behaving like a gal, I will be fine
Alex: alright, so when will I see you next?
Rere: when you find me that loophole
Alex: oh that.... alright
Rere: (picks her bag) oh before I forget, I need your help with something else
Alex: what?
Rere: can you get me a legal binding contract?
Alex: what is the details?
Rere: it about a woman accepting a sum of three million naira for her silence over the father of her child
Alex: (laughing) you are joking right (sees Rere’s serious expression)
Rere: of course I am serious (walk out of the bathroom and starts to go down the stairs)
Alex: (he follows her) what are you doing Rere?
Rere: trust me, you don’t want to know
Alex: I think I am going to have a sit down with my father over the kind of job you do for him
Rere: (reaches the sitting room and turns back to him) I am going to pretend like I didn’t hear you say that. So how fast can I get the contract?
Alex: when do you need it?
Rere: today before 5 am
Alex: are you kidding?
Rere: does it look like I am?
Alex: I need the court’s seal for the contract and the court does not open until 8 am
Rere: you may think this is an impossible job but to me it is possible. Why? Because you are a badass lawyer and the President’s son, make them open the court by 4. Use what you have to get what you want. (Walks to the door) so I will send someone to get it from you, will you get me what I want by then?
Alex: I will try
Rere: (faces him) don’t just try, make it happen
Alex: alright, I will try my best
