Episode 6

Alma’s POV:

He made me stand to my feet and looked at me broadly.

“Stanley!” I called in adoration. What could he have come to do in our school?

“Are you surprised to see me?” He asked softly.

“Erm…yeah, yeah… Do you come here to visit someone?” I asked him.

He smiled and turned back, he signalled for someone to come closer and a lady revealed herself, she was holding a document.

“Good afternoon, Alma.”The lady greeted with a cheerful smile.

” Good afternoon.” I answered politely.

“We are impressed on how you danced with Clifford’s band crew, not to be too forward, are you a contracted dancer with his band?” She asked while maintaining the smile on her face.

“Erm..not yet but…” Before I could completed my statement, she interrupted.

“Good! We do have an offer for you, it’s a contract actually.” She said and stretched the document to me.

I was already holding the one that Clifford’s manager gave me with my right hand so I collected that with my left hand.

“What does it contain , please?” I questioned.

“We’ll love you to come over to Stanley’s band house and come and join his dancers, we really love your skills and we will pay you well.” The lady said.

“The signing up fee is $10,000…. just for agreeing to sign up with us, we’ll pay you $10,000 immediately.” She said.

“You mean if I take my pen and sign this document, you will forward $10,000 to me, right now?” I questioned.

“Why don’t you sign it first and see the miracle.” She answered.

I sighed and looked at the document in my right hand.

“Clifford’s band had just offered me a contract and I had signed it, I was going to submit it to Clifford’s manager when you met me.” I complained.

“Is their signing up free greater than ours?” She questioned.

“Not at all, theirs is $5,000.” I answered.

“Well, get a T pex and clean it.” The lady said and I sighed briefly.

It’s a hard decision to make, choosing between Stanley and Clifford has to be one of the greatest decision of my life.

We heard steps approached and we all diverted our attention towards those that were yet to reveal themselves.

It was Bob’s manager and one of Clifford’s brothers.

“Alma, have you signed it?” Clifford’s manager questioned.

“Erm…” I stuttered.

He walked to me and collected the document from him, he opened it and said; “Good!”

As he tried to walk away from me, I said; “Erm…I have a better…”

“Keep it, an agreement is an agreement and you have signed it already, you are now obligated to fulfil your terms of the contract, if you will like to object the contract you willingly signed, you may sue us to court.” He said and turned to start walking away.

“And…” He said suddenly and turned to me. “The address of Clifford’s band house will be sent to your mobile number, resume immediately on Sunday.”

He then walked away.
