99. INT. RAY’S OFFICE.DAY.
RAY and their NEW EMPLOYEE lay on the COUCH hungrily kissing and caressing each other. The TELEPHONE on his GLASS DESK rings, he tries to ignore it but the persistence ringing makes him take it.
RAY
Hello! Bimbo, what’s it?
BIMBO
Sir, the chairman is here, he’s just arrived and on his way upstairs.
RAY
What!
…He re-adjusts his tie and hurries the young woman to dress up.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
…walks in the reception room.
BIMBO
Good morning, sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Hello Bimbo, how’re you?
BIMBO
Fine, thank you sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Right. Hope the MD is in?
BIMBO
Yes sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Good!
RAY
So, Miss Deola, study these accounts and… oh! Good morning sir! You’re welcomed.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Ray, please sit down. How’re you?
RAY

RAY
No problems at all sir, we’re doing quite well, we’ve got some new multinational accounts to audit.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Impressive! Good to hear that.
…Takes a quick look at the young woman there.
RAY
Sir, that’s our new chief accountant, Miss Deola, meet Chief Fiberisima, the chairman of this great accounting firm.
DEOLA
I’m highly honoured to meet you, sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Miss Deola, you’re welcomed to the team of Fiberisima and Co. and Ray, I hope she would deliver.
RAY
Certainly sir, Miss Deola is a second class upper graduate of Accounting from the university of Nigeria, Nsukka and in addition to that, she holds an MBA in finance from Lagos Business School; she’s equally a chartered accountant.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Quite an impressive CV, young lady.
DEOLA
Thank you sir.
RAY
So, Miss Deola, take these accounts, study them properly and get back to me.
DEOLA
Yes sir.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Ray, honestly, I’m highly impressed with the professionalism you apply in running this place. I wish I had a decent young man like you as a son not that Casanova son of mine.
RAY
Thank you sir but I’m still like a son to you.
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
I know, I know.
