Hard work and Talent
Episode 2
THREE YEARS BEFORE THE PRESENT
INT. TV STATION- MORNING
In the studio room of a well-known TV Station, a 34 year old Imade sits on a couch facing the host of the show she has been invited to with a smile on her face. Though years has past, Imade almost looks the same physically except for her ever-growing beauty and her glowing skin.
Dressed in a corporate white female suit, Imade sits on the chair with her legs crossed over each other with the pearl on her white heels glittering as she gives answer to the questions she is been asked, gently playing with the three carat diamond wedding ring on her finger
The presenter dressed in a fitted gown looks at Imade with awe as she fires the young billionaire questions
HOST
(With a chuckle) You have to tell me your secret
IMADE
What can I tell you? It is just hard work and talent
HOST
I refuse to believe that, Imade, you are a freaking billionaire.
IMADE
(Smiles softly) Maybe you are right about that, I mean there is the God factor
HOST
Yeah
IMADE
And there is my husband
HOST
Wemimo Arotile-King
IMADE
Yeah, he is my driver… He constantly drives me to greatness. Talent and hardwork aside, he is the reason I am where I am today. He is an amazing man and I am very lucky to have him
HOST
It is good you know that because a lot of women wants to be in your shoes
IMADE
Does that include you?
HOST
Are you giving him out?
Imade burst into laughter
IMADE
You gat jokes
HOST
But on a more serious note, you two are a phenomenon. A power couple a lot of people looks up to and wants to be. You two started from fashion, actually you two started from sewing clothes and then you established your root in every aspect of the fashion industry and like that was not enough, you took over the hospitality industry. Forbes has lost count of your hotels in Africa, talk of real estate, education, telecommunication and now tech
Imade shift on her seat
IMADE
Tech?
HOST
I have been hearing some rumors that KINGS Corp is getting into tech, can you confirm that?
IMADE
(Chuckles softly) That is all it is, a rumor
HOST
So you are saying it is not true?
IMADE
I am saying that if any of that rumor is true, you will find out through the proper channels
She chuckles loudly
HOST
Is there any proper channel than you?
IMADE
You don't let go, do you?
HOST
So, you are keeping a tight lips on it
IMADE
If that is now you feel, there is nothing I can do about that
PRESENTER
You are the business woman they call you, but on a more serious note, at the first quarter of this year, your company, KINGS Corps made its first billion dollar in profit and that Ms. King made you the youngest female billionaire in Nigeria. From the daughter of a bean cake seller to a billionaire, how do you feel about this, Ms King?
Imade lowered her gaze and smiles softly, gently playing with her wedding ring
