#OMNISCIENT_POV

Later that night , Tobi returns home and told both Rebecca and Lisa about the secret behind the Electronic frame 🖼.
Both ladies couldn’t believe it at first but the seriousness on Tobi’s face indicated what he heard was true.
.

Rebecca ➡ Those b-stards… It make so much sense now.. No wonder there was no traces left for the police to follow.
.

Tobi ➡ So what do we do now?
.

Lisa ➡ It’s simple.. We report this case to the police.
.

Rebecca ➡ No! They won’t believe us even if they did, we still don’t have proof.
.

Lisa ➡ So what do we do now?
.

Rebecca ➡ Tobi… Can you get one of the frames?
.

Tobi ➡ I doubt so! The place is filled with security.
.

Rebecca ➡ Damn!
.

Lisa ➡ Let’s just go to the police.
.

Rebecca ➡ We can’t.. We need proof! If we report this issue now.. Without proof, Mr. Greg will sue us for defamation and he might probably hire assassins to kill Tobi.. Is that what you want?
.

In that moment, Lisa’s mother Moníqué walks into the room interrupting their conversation, everyone in the room was surprised to see her especially her daughter.
.

Moníqué ➡ Mona Lisa!
.

Lisa ➡ Mama! You’re back?
.

Moníqué ➡ Yes my dear. Evening everyone.
.

Rebecca ➡ Good evening, Mrs. Moníqué.
.

Tobi ➡ Good evening madame.
.

Moníqué ➡ Ah.. My future son in-law! I’m happy for you and my daughter.
.

Tobi ➡ Thanks.
.

Lisa ➡ So mama! When did you come back?
.

Moníqué ➡ Hours ago… I overheard what happened while I was away from your sister.. She told me that Tobi here came to your father for a bribe. Is this true?
.

Lisa ➡ Bribe!? What bribe?
.

Tobi ➡ That lying snake! She came here and told me that Mr. Andrews wanted to see and as I went over to his house.. He offered me 100 million pounds to leave you alone but I refused.
.

Lisa ➡ Oh Darling.. I knew I could trust you.. You gave up all that money just to be with me.
.

Rebecca ➡ 😒 You wasted an opportunity of a lifetime.. You’re a fool.
.

Lisa ➡ He’s not..
.

Tobi ➡ Perhaps I may be a fool but what Mr. Andrews didn’t realize is, Love has no price and so does Lisa.
.

Lisa ➡ Oh darling 😍.
.

Moníqué ➡ Oh magnifiqué… Tobi you’ve really impressed me… You have my blessing to marry my daughter, that is if she agrees to that.
.

Lisa ➡ Maybe but he still hasn’t proposed yet.
.

Tobi ➡ I’m still working on that.
.

Rebecca ➡ Jesus! Can we please concentrate on…
.

Moníqué ➡ By the way Lisa.. Will be attending your father’s antique sale tomorrow evening?
.

Lisa ➡ I’m not sure.. I bet he doesn’t want to see me.
.

Moníqué ➡ Nonsense! I want you to be there! You’re his daughter whether he likes it or not.
.

Lisa ➡ Okay mom.. I’ll be there.
.

Moníqué ➡ By the way.. You should have seen the electronic frames 🖼 your dad bought.. They’re all custom made and lovely.
.

Rebecca ➡ Electronic frames!?
.

Moníqué ➡ Yes.. Tobi as my future son in-law, you’re also invited as well.
.

Tobi ➡ Thanks for the invite but I’ll be working late tomorrow.
.

Lisa ➡ Working late?? I need you to escort me.
.

Tobi ➡ Sorry Lisa.. I can’t make it. My hands are tied.
.

Lisa ➡ Oh you better make it and I’ll twist your arm if I have to. You can’t expect me to go to the party alone.
.

Moníqué ➡ Alright everyone.. I have to get going.. It’s getting late.
.

Lisa ➡ Alright mom.. See you tomorrow.
.

After exchanging goodbye kisses with her daughter, Moníqué soon leaves the room, as soon as she’s gone, The discussion continues.
.

Rebecca ➡ Seems your father is hours away from being scammed.
.

Tobi ➡ We have to stop this.
.

Lisa ➡ How!? I said we should go to the police but Rebecca says no.
.

Rebecca ➡ This is bad.. Your father is going to lose his mind if those paintings get stolen.
.

Lisa ➡ Why do you care so much about my father’s paintings?
.

Rebecca ➡ You twit! A Lovette always takes care of it’s own.. Do you know how degrading it will be if everyone heard someone broke into our house. We would be the laughing stock in London and we’ll have to do everything we can to stop that heist.
.

Tobi ➡ Will you both shut up?? You’re not really helping here.
.

Rebecca ➡ Excuse me… Just who the hell do you think you’re talking to in that tone? You know what, F-ck this! I give up.. Let the paintings get stolen for all I care.
.

After that statement, Rebecca stands up and leaves the room as she swing her seductive hips casually, Tobi who couldn’t ignore this lovely sight whistles in satisfaction but Unfortunately for him, Lisa sees and resents his actions.
.

Lisa ➡ Just what do you think you’re doing?
.

Tobi ➡ What!?
.

Lisa ➡ Don’t play dumb with me, you donkey! I saw what you did!.
.

Tobi ➡ Sorry. I was just admiring the view.
.

After hearing what Tobi said, Lisa frowns angrily and throws an unexpected slap on Tobi’s face.
.

SLAP!
.

Lisa ➡ You Pig! You disgust me.
.

Shortly after saying that, Lisa too also gets out of the room, as soon as Lisa leaves the room, Tobi begins to regret his actions and thinks of a way to get back to Lisa’s good side. In that moment, an idea 💡 pops into his head and without hesitation, He picks his phone and calls a number.
