" I'm already preparing styles for the chief brides maid " Adesuwa added
" Who's going to make you chief brides maid, ... Zuri hope Adesuwa won't be part of the chief brides maid " Tami said
" I'm taking six yards for the ankara,right Zuri" Lara added
" Listen babes, y'all are going to be chief brides maid and are going to take equal yards of ankara " Zuri replied
" Not fair Zuri, I'm the youngest and I'm suppose to be treated as one.." Tami stated
" I'm not even in a relationship, so only God knows when I'll get married, being secretary to Mrs Mandy is terrible 🤦" Lara complained
" How are you even coping with that woman, I just hope she isn't treating you like a dogging maid.. " Zuri asked
" Dogging maid is cliche, she's treating me like her personal assistant,I don't know if she's changing my position from secretary to PA " Lara replied
" I'm also even confused in where to start from, my investment is going down and they are requesting for 1.1 million for promotion of loans , I don't even know where to get such amount from .." Adesuwa also complained
" We're all going through alot right now " Tami added
" Ok Tami, tell me where your problem is.... Cuz you literally own a constructing company " Zuri asked
" I need more money, my networth aren't matching my wants " Tami replied
" Babes, I have an idea, we can all create a company for securing loans and lending them, in the company's account and that way we will earn lot of money,what do u girls think " Zuri suggested
" That's a great idea Zuri " Lara replied
" So I think we should give the company a name " Adesuwa suggested
" ZALT company for securing loans .." Tami said
" ZALT !!! " Zuri asked fabbergastedly
" ZALT stands for Zuri, Adesuwa, Lara and Tami " Tami replied
" Wow,that's great,so are we opening the account now " Adesuwa said
" Yeah, I'll open the account now and create a website for it , Adesuwa you'll be incharge of managing the account, Lara will be in charge of bank activities, and Tami you'll be incharge of securing and lending loans while I'll be incharge of the website, is that a deal ..." Zuri replied
" Deal " The girls echoed
" I'm so happy we now have a business together as friends, let's make a toast " Tami said as they concluded and enjoy the remaining part of the night.
