Desmond arrived the phone technician’s workshop and demanded for his mother’s
phone,… He was asked to sit and wait for
some minutes since they were still
working on it,….
He called Nancy and informed her of
Angela’s return,…. She was on her way to meet him,…..
“oga Desmond,…. Dont you think
repairing this your mother’s phone is
belittling,?, you can simply get her a new
phone,….. “the phone technician asked
him.. ” It’s not just the phone that she needs,
there’re some vital information she needs
to extract from the phone, once she does
that, she’ll buy a new phone,… “Desmond
explained to him

desperately needs to repair it badly,….
No wonder madam brought her phone No wonder madam brought her phone to
me,.maybe there’re some vital
information she stored in it.. “he brought
out the phone and dropped it on the table,….
” She forgot her password after locking
her phone,… I don’t know why people
like using password when they can easily
forget their pin.. She wants me to unlock
the phone, this is what i’ve been trying to do since afternoon that delayed your
work,….. ”

recognized it as Richard’s missing phone,
….. He took the phone and looked at it
closely,…. Everything was just the same, … Angela’s picture is his screensaver,…..
He was shocked,….
” Pls who brought this phone here “…..

should know her na,.. She’s one of the
richest in this state, i don’t even know what attracted her to my shop,….. She’ll
soon be here for the phone,…. “He
answered innocently
Few minutes later, He saw Mrs Johnson
‘s car packing outside the shop,…. He
saw her alight,….. He excused himself and hid at the back of the shop,…. Mrs
Johnson walked in there and asked for
her phone,…
” Madam, you’ ll come back tomorrow,” Madam, you’ ll come back tomorrow,…..
I’ll unlock it tomorrow,….. My wife is in
