Before Tade returned from London, Morenike had watched 3 young women in her company.
Sade was beautiful, ambitious, and loud enough to make people mistake arrogance for confidence. Nneka was soft-spoken, respectful in public, and always careful with her image. Amara, an accounts officer, was quiet, hardworking, and kind to drivers, cleaners, security guards, and interns even when no manager was watching.
Morenike called them separately.
To Amara, she spoke gently.
—My son is coming home. I do not force marriage, but I would like you to meet him if both hearts agree.
Amara lowered her gaze.
