THE CEO'S HIDDEN GEM 29 Slum

"Mr Sozzy,have sent you a list of items I want you to buy, and come with them in thirty minutes time." Jeremy said to Sozzy over the phone.It was the first time Jeremy was visiting Henrietta's parents and he was hoping they could accept their secret marriage without any fuss.Jeremy called his dad and explained to him the new developments.

"Jeremy ,why did you allow her to visit her parents? this is not the right time for them to know your relations.h.i.+p.Anyway the water is already spilled,you have to go there,that is what our custom demands,prepare good gifts and give them.Make sure they don't suspect anything on the true origins of Henrietta." Mr Thomson advised.

"She insists on spending the weekend with the parents,hope it won't bring any problems." Jeremy inquired.

"Just tell them you married their daughter,they know our traditions she is not qualified for a sleep over on her first visit to the parents,also remember to invite them officially over." Thomson said.Later Sozzy arrived with the gifts,they all set the ball rolling to Reed slum.

They packed the car near the entrance to the slum,the path to Anderson's house was very narrow ,they had to pa.s.s through several houses with exposed sewages all over the place,at times they had to bend in order to go through the place because clothes line were all over the place with dripping of water from the washed clothes.It was an experience of it's kind on Jeremy, who was born with a silver platter.

Jeremy kept on asking Sozzy whether they were near to reach or not and all the time Sozzy answered him obediently.By the time they were halfway Jeremy was already feeling nauseous because of inhaling the sewage odour,for the first time he appreciated the life he had,he understand well that he was the luckiest person standing.He never imagined people could be living under such conditions and survived.

"Life is really a mystery ,who could have imagined the royal blood of the land to be born and raised in such a filthy place." Jeremy thought.They continued their journey and they received a lot of glares from the people.On their appearance a lone the slum people could tell they were not from the slums.
