FAMILY DINNER 3

As Mo descended the stairs, She could see the sitting room clearly, everyone has taken their sits on the dinning table which is located at the right corner of the living room.

Durojola being the head of the family is sited at the head of the table as the head of the family.

Ajoke was sited at the left hand side of her husband and she saw that even Tomilola's husband was able to make it. Little Adrain was sited in her high chair in between her Mom and her Dad. Mo noticed that Adrain had started eating, and had already messed up her food everywhere. Mo could hear Tomilola scolding Adrain to stop messing her food around.

As Mo scanned the dinning area of the living room She saw a very familiar face, but she could not remember exactly where she met him.

As she approached the dinning area all eyes were fixed on her, she could feel every gaze tingling on her skin. She suddenly felt self conscious. She felt that a certain someone was watching every step she took to the dinning area.

Mo got to the dinning, and greeted everyone Kneeling in respect to her Father and Mother. She notice that the sit that was left for her was beside very handsome cute stranger.

Mo politely greeted the stranger bowing her head in respect to the man. The man smiled broadly at her and kept looking at her in full admiration.

Durojola cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Good Evening everyone"

Durojola had this broad smile on his face, his white teeth sparking in the dim light of the dinning area reflecting a certain softness on the hardness of his face.

" I'm so pleased and honored to have you all at the dinner tonight, especially my daughter Mo. Thank you all. Lets bow our head for prayer"

"Our father and our God thank for food and the priviledge to gather together as a family we are grateful in Jesus name Amen".

Just as they started having dinner Durojola decided to introduce the beautiful stranger sitted beside Mo.

"I know you all must be wondering who this gentleman is amongst us"?

"His name is Oluwalolore Onilu" just as Durojola mentioned that name Mo remembered that she has seen the name somewhere, she recalled that she saw it on a business card she screenshotted recently because she needed to call the person for an urgent matter she cannot recall.

She began checking her phone for the screenshot just as she saw the screenshot of the business card she suddenly recalled who gave her the business card .

Voila she recalled the accident.

She dialed the number and his phone rang out.

Just then she heard her father saying "Oluwalolore likes to be referred simply as Lore, he is a prestigious business owner. He is the CEO of ONI Nigeria Limited".

Just then Lore politely interrupted. "Mr. Durojola please am feeling embarrassed with this formality. I will appreciate being referred to simply as Lore. I believe this is a family dinner. Let's just enjoy the food".

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mo extended her hand to him he took it with a wide grin on his face. He held on tightly to her hand while she tried to withdraw it while He maintained eye contact with her. He said to her, still smiling.

"I have been expecting your call all this while. You hit my car, and refused to call me so we call talk about the repairs is that what Legal Professionals do or should I say fashion designer?

Just as he said this Mo was shocked to her bone marrow, he face was filled with horror, her eyes was wide open like it was going to pop out any minutes.

Lore knew she was struggling to remember where they had met. But he on the other hand had remembered her the instant he saw her walking down the stairs gracefully in her sparkly long body fitting long sleeve dress. He muted to himself she is super elegant.

Mo apologised profusely. "Am so sorry Mr. Lore". Just as she wanted to speak further Lore gently Interrupted her. "Please call me Lore". " Ok Lore am so sorry I actually screenshotted your business card details on my phone just so that I can call you. I have been busy, That's not an excuse though but first thing on Monday I will call you to fix an appointment with you.

Lore decided it's a good chance to get her contact so asked for her contact instead. "I think it will be better to have your contact so that if I don't hear from you I can as well call you myself".

" Mr. Lore am sorry Lore I will call you but if you insist here is my number" he brought out his phone handed it over to her. She dialed in her number.

Dinner was over in no time.

While the exchange was going on between Mo and Lore, Ajoke was watching with kin eyes. She had this slight smile on her face. She has always wanted her daughter to be hooked with someone, but whatever this conversation is it must be the start of something good.

After the dinner, Lore joined the ladies in clearing the dishes. Just as he was going the second time, Durojola called him into the study for the meeting they had initially planned that evening.

While Mo was washing the dishes Ajoke came into the kitchen and asked, "Mo baby, where did you meet Lore? You both looked so cute together like he is your close friend or something".

"Mom anytime you call me Mo baby I know that you are fishing for a secret but to shock you I have nothing to do with Lore he is just a friend in fact he is not even my friend he just became a friend this evening as a matter of fact so don't get it twisted Ma".

Mo explained what happened between her and Lore, how they met.

When Mo finished from the kitchen she informed her Mom of her intention to leave that night but Ajoke would have none of it and rather advised her to spend the night since its late and her place was on the mainland. Tomilola and family bid everyone goodnight and left. Lore left after his meeting with Durojola. Mo decided to enjoy her childhood room for the night and then leave very early the next morning for work and then home.
