Chapter 7

Edwin.

Clifford fumed in anger before David.

“What exactly has come upon you? Who told you I can’t do without her?” Clifford shouted.

“Calm down, please.” David pleaded. “I did it for this band.”

“For what band? don’t I have a say over this band anymore?” Clifford asked angrily.

“The girl made us win in the last contest, she would make us win future contest, so what is the fuss all about?” Earl asked.

He’s gentle but has never been afraid or nervous of speaking to Clifford unlike the rest of us.

Clifford went to sit and with his legs crossed, he said; “That contract she signed is terminated.”

“Of course not, as a matter of fact, she would be coming to live with us here for ten days.”

“What!” Clifford screamed. “I! leave with a poor girl? how did you want me to survive? ”

“Really? thought Edwin said you watched her dance for close to ten minutes. We know you loathe poor people but…what we need is the dancing skill in Alma.” David said.

“I know you didn’t send me to offer her the contract, I did that when I heard rumour that Stanley and his band were coming to your school. I thought of what they wanted to come to do in your school and the only thing I could reason was that , they were probably coming to offer Alma a contract. If they offer her a contract before we do, we will lose a girl with such potential.” David explained.

“I don’t care if we loose her, I was planning on organizing another context and I was so sure that I would see someone better than Alma.” Clifford said

David then turned his face at us and back at him.

“Will you fire me for carrying out an order you didn’t give?” He asked.

Clifford raised his head after few minutes and said; “I won’t fire you, I just want you to tell her the contract is now invalid.”

Clifford stood and asked David; “Is that clear?”

David swallowed and answered; “Sure.”

Clifford then walked inside.

David’s face turned sour immediately, he sat where Clifford had stood and asked; “Do you think I acted too fast?”

“No, you did well. Just speak to Alma that Clifford doesn’t want her in sight, you can pay her few thousand dollars , she will appreciate it.” Earl said.

“I should have let her signed the contract of Stanleys’ if I know that Cliffdord would react this way.” David said and just then, Clifford came into sight again.

“How many days was she suppose to spend with me?” He asked.

“Just ten days, according to the contract, if you did not like her skills after ten days, we would send her away.” David answered.

“10 day.” He mumbled and sighed.

“Not bad, let her come.” Clifford said.

“Really!” David exclaimed happily and chuckled.

Clifford walked away with her stern look.

“I’m so happy for this girl…but, why did he suddenly change his nind?” David asked.
