Must Read: Compatibles

Mr. Romero arrived very late; Mr. Henry picked him at the airport, Henry told him everything except the Danny part. He went over to see her immediately.


Oluchi saw her father come into the room; Oluchi was looking dejected
“dad please forgive me” she said
“Oluchi, why did you do this to me?” he said almost crying
“What did I do to you? Why did you destroy all I have built for years?”
“I don’t deserve forgiveness but please have mercy” just then he remembered
“Where is Red?” he asked
“Am sorry dad”
“That’s not what I asked. Where is Red?” he said
“I huum I sacked him” she said, her dad was shocked
“No you didn’t” he said trying not to believe it
“Sir she did but not only that she arrested him” Henry said
“What? Oluchi you did what?”
“What for?” he asked
“She accused him of stealing company property” Henry said
“That’s impossible” Mr. Romero said
“Oluchi you have done the worst, you have done what your father would never do. I gave you someone so valuable and this is what you did with it. Red is supposed to be your guide and not your guard. Red is one of the reasons why this company is first class worldwide, do you think I don’t pay him or do you think he’s just a body guard? He gives advice and they work out. He tells us how certain projects should be handled and they work out just as he said. He saved my life and your mothers’. Oluchi while you were living the best of life in America this man was one of the reasons you could live such life. What more can I say, you allowed your school reputation and degree into your head not knowing that Red has even more powerful educational reputation than you do.” Oluchi still cried out
“Whichever way you can get Red back or I’ll not forgive you for destroying my hard work” he left the room, she continued crying it was like it would never stop; she remembered how she and Red started and how d!ckson came in and everything between them changed. Her dad refused to go see her again…


After two days she was discharged, she went to Mr. Henry’s home to see him so he could help her look for Red
“Welcome Oluchi” he said sitting down
“Thank you sir” she said in a low tone, from her looks it was obvious she was in a sorrowful mood
“Why are you here?” he asked
“please I need your help, I need to find Danny”
“Why ask for my help?” he said
“Please I know you can help me”
“I don’t think he would want me to do that? Because he plans on leaving the country” Oluchi felt bad after hearing that
“No please, I love him” she said crying
“You? Love him?” he asked surprised
“Yes I do”
“So you have suddenly realized that you do? You lie”
“I don’t know what to say but I have always loved him I just don’t understand why d!ckson clouded my mind”
“I don’t think I can help you”
“Please; if I leave here I’ll go kill myself”
“if you die no one would miss you” Oluchi was hurt by those words as tears kept coming from her eyes
“I think I will” a voice said behind her, she knew it was Danny’s voice, she froze at the sound of his voice she refused to turn around. He walked up to her where she was standing, he held her from behind and turned her to face him.



She turned and saw him with a smile, she looked at him
“Da.. Danny please” she lost words, he smiled at her
“I have worked with your father for years and had never met you but the day you came to Nigeria I fell in love with you at sight. I tried as much as possible not to let my feelings override my job. The day d!ckson came into your life you turned your back on me but I did do the same to you, so many things you said and did but I wish not to talk about it. You completely forgot our friendship because you started seeing me as a guard and not a guide, you sort guidance from the wrong person and finally you allowed your reputation into your head and not caring to know where I stand as in education. You have done a lot but let me ask you; do you think you deserve forgiveness?” he said she had tears flowing down
“No I don’t” she said lowering her head, he smiled
“Yes you do. And I forgive you” he said and hugged her but she dint stop crying
“Come on, haven’t you cried enough” he said smiling, he wiped her face with his hand
“I love you Danny, I swear I do”
“I know, I love you too” he said and kissed her fore head…
