said, nodding eagerly.
“Now remove the ‘Uncle."” “Slow down,” she hushed him, waving a hand dismissively.
“Also, callNnenna, not ‘little girl.” I'm not a child,” she added firmly.
Then, with a small smirk, she corrected herself.
“May | have your phone, Brother Ikenna?” Her tone was playful, but her expression was sincere.
Ikenna hesitated for a moment before nodding, satisfied with the compromise.
They even shook hands on it before he handed over his phone.
She took the phone and pressed the power button, but the screen was locked.
Turning to him, she held it up silently, her raised eyebrows speaking volumes.
“The password is ‘healing, Ikenna said, almost before she could ask.
Nnenna blinked at him, momentarily surprised by the choice.
“Healing?” she repeated, entering the word and unlocking the phone.
Then she glanced up at him with an intrigued smile.

coat pockets.
“It’s the heart of what I do.
My entire career is built around that one word.” Nnenna studied him for a moment, a flicker of respect crossing
her face before she turned her attention back to the phone.
“A little cheesy, but I'll allow it,” she teased lightly, already pulling up the camera app.
“Don’t let your respect show too much,” Ikenna replied dryly, following her as they walked down the hallway.
On the second floor, Nnenna scanned the halls, peering into offices as she searched for Reuben.
She did not find him in any of the obvious places, but she pressed on until she reached the last door.
When she opened it, she found herself in a small storage room filled with cleaning materials.
There, sitting on an overturned bucket of paint with his phone in hand, was Reuben.
“Snap!” Nnenna’s phone camera flashed as she pointed it directly at him.
“Hello, Big TAccountant Uncle Reuben,” she said with a mischievous smile, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Her eyes darted to his uniform and the mops, buckets, and brooms scattered around him.
Reuben froze at the sound of her voice, which he recognized all too well.
His stomach dropped as the weight of his lies ccrashing down.
Then canother sound click, click, click.
She was taking more pictures.
Startled and panicked, Reuben scrambled to stand up, but in his haste, he lost his balance and tumbled off the
bucket.
He looked up from the ground to see a familiar face, one of the last people he wanted to encounter.
“Y-you!
What are you doing here?!” he stammered, his voice high pitched and strained as he struggled to get up.
“Oh, don’t mind me,” Nnenna said, stepping further into the room with her phone still raised.
Her tone was light, but the smirk on her face was anything but friendly.
“I just cto check out your... impressive office.
You know, the one Nurse Courage toldso much about.” “Snap!” Another picture was taken, the sound
making Reuben flinch.
“Stop taking pictures!” he shouted, his face red with a mix of panic and fury.
But Nnenna tilted her head mockingly, a look of exaggerated innocence on her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why?
| think Mommy Courage will love to see these,” she said, gesturing at the cleaning supplies around them with a
sweeping motion.
“She'll be so proud of your ‘Big TAccountant’ skills.” Reuben opened his mouth to respond, but Ikenna’s
laugh cut through the air.
He had been leaning against the doorframe, silently observing the scene, but now he couldn't hold back.
“Big TAccountant?” Ikenna said, his tone thick with sarcasm.
“You should've mentioned that your accounting skills include managing brooms and mop buckets.” Reuben shot
a glare at him, his jaw working as if trying to cup with a defense.
“Listen, this is none of your business—" “Oh, it is,” Nnenna interrupted, her grin turning sharp.
“Because lying to someone who loves you is my business.
You don’t mess with my people, Reuben.” Reuben’s mouth snapped shut, his face paling as he realized just how
deep a hole he had dug himself into.
Reuben’s face turned crimson, his embarrassment palpable as he glared at Nnenna.
“Stop taking pictures!” he shouted, finally managing to stand.
