The twist
Jason
After I went home my instinct told me that the girl will be able to work as granny’s care giver, I called Doctor Elijah and ask him if he knew the girl I saw he said no, so I asked about the woman that has given birth earlier, he told me that he will check and get back to me, few hours later he called and told me about her, he also mention that she was the wife of doctor Jericho, and if the lady said that she was the woman in-law, that means she must be Jericho’s sister, I thought to myself, I told Elijah that I need to speak to Doctor Jericho, and he should fix a meeting for us, he asked when I would want to meet with Doctor Jericho, and I checked my schedule and told him in two days’ time, but the meeting should be in my office.
While waiting for the day of the meeting, I have called Mr. Hans the person in charge of the software engineering team in my company to give me the details of their progress in developing our app, he told me how the have added new features and he went further to show me the things they have done and the ones the intend to do, I also called the Mrs. Walter the head of the marketing team to tell me their market strategy in the next six months, which she did, and I was pleased with their reports.
The time of the meeting had come, I was on call with the city Mayor, he called to tell me the challenges they had in the local government, so I can help with finance or possibly use my influence to get the attention of the federal government, while on it my sectary knocked and walked in, I told the Mayor that I was going to call him back when I’m free, the sectary told me that one Doctor Jericho is here to see me, I told the sectary to bring him in, she left and came back with him, “how are you doing Doctor Jericho” I asked, he said he was fine, I offered him a sit, and he sat down, I told him about the girl I have seen earlier at the hospital, and the fact that the lady said she his wife’s in-law, Doctor Jericho said yes, that they lady is his distant cousin, that came to stay for some time, I told him that I have a work for her, upon hearing this his countenance change, he said no, that the lady was helping his wife out, I tried convincing him but he refused, so I made him and offer and asked him to think about it.

When Clarissa came to stay with us, I just wanted her to have a roof over her head, and get a job that will enable her pay for her own apartment, I also knew she was pregnant so I didn’t want her to stay out there till something bad happens to, if human realise a werewolf was in there territory the wouldn’t think twice about killing her, the human have long fears the supernatural and would do anything to keep them out of their territory, but things have changed, I noticed I’m beginning to grow a kind of attachment to her, I can’t really explain, I know this isn’t love but something I couldn’t just explain, nevertheless my wife have just given birth and needs assistance, so she working for Mr Jason isn’t and option now so I refused, Mr Jason told me to think about it, offering a good amount of money to me and her supposed salary was mouth-watering, but I’m not going to send Clarissa to him, after the meeting I went back to work and continued with what I was doing, they day was so exhausting and the next was going to be the full moon that Clarissa told me about, and I’m yet to figure out place for her to perform the ritual of the werewolves, although I have paid someone to scout for a place for me.

I told Elijah to help me talk to doctor Jericho about the offer, he agreed, then I focused more on my company and our compitition with SUN group.
One afternoon I went out with Oscar my closest friend for launch, Oscar was my most loyal employee and loved his drive, and he was diligent in his work, few years ago he had leave my company to start his own firm, but we kept being friends, today I called him to come have launch with me, he came and after exchanging pleasantries, we placed another as we drink the wine I had ordered, he asked me about the company and I told him that we have reverie now, he said he knew, “but how I’m I handling it?” He asked, I told him and he also advised me on what he think might help, after which our orders came in, as we started eating he asked me why I’m yet to get married, I smiled and told him that I’m yet to fin the right woman, in fact fame and money had made it more difficult for me to get married, every girl wants me for what the can get and not because they love me, he smiled and told me that I will find someone who will love me for me, I asked him about his family and he said they are fine, Oscar is actually married with two kids, he have both a wonderful family and a successful career, we talked at length and when we finish eating he left as I returned to my office to meditate and write down the things he said might help, while at it my sectary came in to tell me about my meeting for the next day, I asked her to cancel every meeting I have, so I can have time to rest and think, these past days have really been exhausting and I think I need time off.
