THE JEWEL OF GLOUDANDA (ii)
Old derrick said as she ran into the orphanage crying...
********
Carly white sat on a wooden chair sulking. She was really hurt by Old Derrick's words. She shooked her hands into her hairy coat feeling something hard. She brought it out. it was a silver wrist watch. "oh! How can I be so forgetful" she said staring at it with great lust in her eyes. It was the watch she stole from the baby boy at the bus stop. "oh pretty watch! you're gonna get me a whole lot of money when I..." Carly"! she heard her voice and she turns to see who it was trying to hide the watch. "oh James Porter! it's you". She said in an uncomfortable tune. I hope he didn't see me with the watch... oh dear God help me now! she soliqosized. As far as Carly white was concerned, she knew james as a really cunning guy and she can't afford to let him know about the stolen wristwatch. " what brings you by James Porter"? she asked. "please call me James. there's no need for the Porter." He said kissing her hands. "what a really fine, soft hands you got there. it would look even better with a Rolex watch on it". He said with a cunning smile in his face as Carly forcefully removed her hands from his.
"what did you think Carly! that I wouldn't find out about the watch." he said. "what watch"? carly asked in a denying tune as james forcefully brought out the watch from her pocket. "alright! fine! I stole the watch. Now give it back to me".
***********
Carly White and James Porter are sitting on an arm chair opposite each other with a rectangular table in between them. The silver wrist watch is on the table laying lifeless as James Porter is keeningly waiting for Carly's reply. "so you're telling me that this watch is the popular Rolex watch everyone is going crazy about and I would make billons of money from this watch if I work hand in hand with you"?. she said as he nodded in affirmative. James has been trying over the past 30 minutes to convince Carly on selling the watch in partnership with him. "so what if I agree what would be your share in my profit cause I no you're not helping me for free" she said staring at the lifeless watch on the table. "well it's good you asked on time! I'd say a fifty- fifty income on both sides". "what! you ain't gettin' half a share of the money. After all I'm the one who stole the watch not you". she said. " look I'm trying to do you a favor by helping you to sell the watch. You won't find any other client like the one I'm about to show you. Take it or leave it. It would really benefit both of us. we'll finally have enough money to leave this orphanage and start our lives afresh" he said looking into her eyes...
