Joy knocked at the door…
“The Cleaner is here” She said
Mirabel went for the door eagerly like a child who was going to the door for some ice-cream; Cleanliness gave her Joy.
“ Hello!”
“ Hello Ma” Joy replied and truly speaking, Ayo was right; the woman was beautiful, there was no way any reasonable man would want another girl if he had this kind of beauty in his life. Her skin was flawless.
“Please come in, I am sorry to bother you, I know you have done your job, but I love to sit by the window, and the window seems dusty. Can you help clean it?”
“ Sure ma, you remind me of my mum, she loves everywhere sparkling clean” Joy said laughing
Joy looked towards the bedroom of the suite, she saw the legs of the husband but not his face.
Joy cleaned the windows of the living room of the suite. She couldn’t wait to get to the bedroom, but the wife’s OCD was on a terrible high level.
She stood by Joy showing her all the corners and edges that needed cleaning.
Eventually, after about 15 minutes, they went into the bedroom.
“Good Morning Sir!” Joy greeted intentionally, but the man was so buried in watching TV he just mumbled “ Morning”.
Joy noticed he didn’t look her way one minute throughout her consciously extended twenty-five minutes cleaning in the bedroom.
“ Thank you so much…” Mirabel said expecting Joy to supply her name.
“Joy” Joy supplied
“Joy! You have a beautiful name” Mirabel said as she reached into her bag for a thousand Naira. She extended it to Joy, who collected it.
“ Oh! Thank you ma” Joy said
“ Bye Sir!” Joy said and just like he had been doing he answered without looking her way.
Mirabel shut the door behind Joy as she stepped out. Joy stayed by the door hoping to catch any conversation and she did.
“Come here, all that moving your body in front of me for twenty Five minutes needs to get you well taken care of”
Joy heard the giggle of the wife…
“This is going to be a hard or impossible one”. Joy acknowledged.
******
“How Far?” Loveth asked excitedly. Three years on the same side had made them friends.
“ It’s looking hard, the man didn’t even look my way” Joy said
“Unless we force him” Irene said
“ Force him, like turn his neck to look at me” Joy’s naivety came to play
“Joy, sometimes you make me realize you are still a small girl”
“ We gat (have) to go diabolical on this one, I can spice his food with water from your ‘toto’ ( Private part)”
“ My urine?” Joy asked in a whisper. She couldn’t hide her shock.
“ Huh huh”
“ How does that help?” Joy asked
“ It is juju, we will add some other charm to the urine, and all he will be thinking about is your ‘toto’. The urine inside him will be like magnet, he will be searching for you madly” irene replied
“ But how you wan tey serve dem food wey the wife no go chop? (how do you plan on serving them food without the wife eating it?)” Jessica asked
“Hmm.. I didn’t think about that” Irene realized
“ If the husband drinks, then I will have to be the one to carry out the assignment.”
“ But that is if he drinks” Loveth said “Let’s find out out”
Loveth dialed their room intercom…
“Good day ma, this is Loveth from the reception. As a first time guest with us, the hotel has a complimentary champagne for our male guests while we have a bottle of non-alcoholic wine for our female guest, we would like to find out if your husband takes alcohol.”
“ Oh no! he doesn’t, you can send us the bottle of wine, we will share it. Thank you”
“ You are welcomed ma”
Loveth ended the call shaking her head in the negative. She didn’t have to voice the obvious, all she said was..
“ Jessica go serve them a bottle of non-alcoholic wine with two cups”
“ There has to be another way in. No matter how tightly shut a house is, there must be a way in for a rat” Ayo said.
It was a food for thought for them all.
