CLARA THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER EPISODE 2

Episode 2

An hour later, Agent mike and I arrived at the governor’s
lodge. I was super excited and nervous at the
same time. I knew my new assignment had lots
of benefits and risks as well. I really didn’t
know what the future had for me but yes I was
so ready for my new assignment. ‘’please don’t screw this up. It’s my job
and yours that are on the line here. This
assignment is a very difficult one I know but
make sure you are focused and make use of the
training you got. Be focused and never lose
guard’’ Agent mike advised as we got out of his car while I nodded quickly like a new student. I was led straight to the governor’s sitting
room where the governor’s wife was
anxiously waiting for us. The smile on her face
clearly showed how happy she was to see me.
We barely had settled down before the governor
joined us. (We all stood up to greet the governor who
surprisingly offered his hand for a handshake). ‘’here is agent Val sir. He is the best agent for
the job’’ agent mike addressed the governor
who left his eyes on me for few seconds. ‘’you look very familiar young man. Have we
met before?’’ he asked curiously. I nervously
nodded. ‘’yes sir, before the governorship election, I
was among the agents that cleared you when
you showed up at our office’’ I answered. ‘’ah no wonder, I guess you have been
briefed on the nature of your new assignment?.
My daughter Clara isn’t an easy person to deal
with. You need to be enduring and very smart to
deal with her. She may not want you by her side
but always find a way to be at her side. I can’t allow her to move around on her own like she
does in U.S. Please protect her for me’’ he
pleaded, smiled and left us without another word
while his wife who had been silent all along
cleared her throat. ‘’you will have everything you need provided
for. Just make sure you keep my daughter safe.
You will pick her up at the airport by 4pm’’
she said softly as young beautiful girl walked in
on us, smiling pleasantly. ‘’yes meet Vivian. She’s the daughter of my
husband’s brother and she’s equally very
close to my daughter Clara. She will assist you in
getting close to my daughter. She knows
everything about your assignment. She will also
go with you to the airport this evening. Consider her your partner’’ she calmly introduced the
young lady who quietly sat beside her. —————————————– Minutes later, I returned to my apartment in
town to pick up few things and equally prepare
myself for the new assignment. I really didn’t
have enough time to mentally prepare for the job
but deep down I felt it was going to be
dangerously fun and a great experience. Vivian looked like a nice and understanding lady and I
couldn’t help but wish that the governor’s
daughter could be at least half understanding as
her. I nervously prepared, got my stuffs ready and
headed back to the governor’s lodge where
Vivian was dutifully waiting for me. The smile on
her face as our eyes met was enough to put silly
ideas into my head but I quickly shut it out of my
mind because I knew perfectly well the risks involved in having silly ideas. By 3:30pm, we headed to the airport. I did the
driving while Vivian sat beside me asking lots of
curious questions which I answered calmly.
There wasn’t any doubt she was a very
friendly person and the way she related to me
made me very much relaxed. ‘’so is there anything else I need to know
about Clara?’’ I kind of asked as we
approached the airport. ‘’hmmmm well, she’s a very difficult
person to be with but believe me she can equally
be very friendly and jovial whenever she feels
like. She takes time in choosing her friends and I
pray she accepts you, if not her dad won’t
have any other choice than to look for your replacement. She also has tons of admirers
which doubled since her dad became the state
governor. You know she’s a very good
catch’’ she answered freely while I smiled. ‘’so how long have you been an agent?’’
she asked. ‘’just a year and few months’’ I
answered. ‘’I never knew the department has young
fine guys like you’’ she complemented while
I blushed. ——————————– @THE AIRPORT After waiting for almost an hour, the plane we
were expecting finally landed, bringing our
nervous wait to an end. I couldn’t help but
make the sign of the cross as we waited to Clara
to show up. ‘’are you nervous?’’ Vivian asked with a
smile. ‘’not really ‘’ I lied. She offered her hand
which I took. ‘’just relax’’ she breathed with concern
before pointing at the girl we came to pick up. ‘’here she is’’ she added excitedly. ————————————————- We soon met up with Clara who hugged Vivian
happily before nodding at me as she probably
wondered who I was. ‘’I hope he isn’t security?’’ she asked
Vivian with a smile. ‘’no, he’s a family friend. Does he look like
a security guy?’’ Vivian answered while
Clara laughed. ‘’he doesn’t look like security but I
haven’t seen him before. Have we met
before?’’ she asked me. ‘’oh my name is Val, a family friend. The last
time we met was years ago when we were still
very little. I think we were still in primary school
back then’’ I lied like Vivian earlier advised
and of course Clara bought it. ‘’oh val. Hmmmm nice name. hope you will
be as sweet as your name?’’ she joked,
making me a bit relaxed with her playful nature
as we exchanged glances while Vivian rolled her
eyes as she listened. ‘’I hope you are not hitting on him because
he is mine?’’ Vivian finally added, while Clara
laughed. ‘’of course not my dear, I’m not’’ she
playfully answered as I helped her carry her big
travel bag. Deep down I couldn’t help but wonder if Vivian
meant her words or was just playing around. Yes
as a young guy, silly ideas always tend to get
into my head. Only time will tell.
