EPISODE 51

INT. INSIDE THE CLINIC-DAWN

Cece and Oba-Abass talks as they leave Femi’s corner

CECE

What is it Oba?

OBA-ABASS

Clifford just called me, actually he didn’t call. He sent the regional director of Ibadan branch to come see me and we had one hot discussion on Skype

CECE

And what did the bastard want?

OBA-ABASS

He started with the mumbo jumbo of how the company needs me and said to mention what will make me stay in the company

CECE

And what did you tell him?

OBA-ABASS

You are looking at the new COO of William Conglomerate

CECE

Are you serious?

Oba nods and she hugs Oba happily

CECE

Congratulations

OBA-ABASS

Thank you, I just wish he gave me the job without me threatening him

CECE

Threat or not, you deserve a seat at that fucking company

OBA-ABASS

Thank you for the support

CECE

When do you start?

OBA-ABASS

In one month

Cece looks confused

CECE

What?

OBA-ABASS

I am taking the vacation I never had in my 36 years of service in that company

CECE

Can a COO stay that long from his company?

OBA-ABASS

I will be working 60percent of the time, internet makes it easy these days

CECE

So what will you do during your vacation?

OBA-ABASS

I plan to visit Taj Mahal, Clara always wanted to visit that place so much

CECE

I guess Clara is your wife

OBA-ABASS

Yes, maybe I will start seeing someone like Selma wants

Cece look confused

CECE

Why will you be seeing someone when you are married?

OBA-ABASS

Clara is died

CECE

What?

OBA-ABASS

I lost her to ALS

CECE

I am so sorry for your loss

OBA-ABASS

Thank you but what about you?

CECE

What about me?

OBA-ABASS

What is the point of mediating on your miserable life, if there is no way forward?

CECE

I let go of my obsession

OBA-ABASS

You gave up on love, how about finding it?

CECE

I have not been lucky when it co….

Oba points to Sade who is talking on the phone

OBA-ABASS

That man likes you

Cece looks confused

CECE

(Scoffs) Sade likes me? That is not possible

OBA-ABASS

That man won’t be here if he has no interest in you. If I was in his shoes, I won’t even try to get you your witness after you fired me.

CECE

So you think he loves me?

OBA-ABASS

I don’t know about love but I am sure he has interest in you. The way he looks at you says it all, so find a way forward by giving him a chance

CECE

Maybe if he ask me out

OBA-ABASS

That man won’t ask you out because of your personality

CECE

Are you asking me to ask him out?

Oba nods

CECE

That is not ladylike

OBA-ABASS

You are an educated woman Cece, there is no big deal in asking a man out and you are a single mother in your 30s, men's attraction to you has significantly reduced

CECE

Okay, I will give it a try

Oba looks at her in a weird way

CECE

Do you mean now?

OBA-ABASS

Yes of course now

Cee sighs and she walks towards Sade
