Chioma pokes Emeka three times on his left chest with her forefinger.

 

CHIOMA

Yes, what do you know except from making money?

 

EMEKA

 

Making more money.

 

Chioma bursts out in an UNCONTROLLED laughter. Uche can’t seem to hear what the pair are saying or laughing about, and this makes him even more furious.

 

Chioma is in SILENCE. It looks like she’s pondering on what next to say.

 

EMEKA (CONT’D)

What are you thinking about?

 

CHIOMA (excited)

 

Why don’t we exchange numbers? That way we can make sure we meet again intentionally.

 

END OF FLASHBACK

 

CUT BACK TO:

 

 

INT. HOTEL ROOM, CARAT-24 HOTEL - MOMENTS LATER

 

Tega is FULLY dressed up. Close on his phone ringing on the bed, which reads: “FEMI IS CALLING...”.

 

TEGA

 

(feels his trouser pockets and looks around)

Where’s my phone?

 

The Pretty Lady reaches for Tega’s phone, and hands it over to him.

 

PRETTY LADY

 

Your phone. It’s Femi.

 

Tega receives his phone, clicks the answer button FORCEFULLY, and raises the phone QUICKLY to his ear.

 

TEGA

 

How far? You don finish?
