25 chapter 25 THE PREGNANT WOMAN!

Ayanna finished her meal and went shopping in the many fancy shops in the mall.

She bought things for her staffs, for her personal assistant Ken who loved sport wears she allowed him to choose what he wanted and he bought Manchester Jersey and a Nice sport shoe to match.

For miss Hillary she bought a set of makeup kit and a purse.

For Mrs Ira she bought a nice latest edition Gucci leather hand bag brown in colour and she bought two white ones for herself bestie Ijey and herself.

Everywhere Ayanna went eyes followed her she was truly a balm for sour eyes and she had a smile for everyone that as much as paid her a compliment or said hello to her. Today she was feeling really great.

Ayanna then headed to the sweet stores there she started looking for all the sweet she loved, she bought bread then she bought the chocolate and the bucket of ice cream she needed then headed to the counter to pay there was a bit of a queue about five people were ahead of her.

For lack of what to do she tried accessing her environment a bitthen she heard the pregnant woman secondin line worrying about the ice cream she wanted so much, she had left home for a stroll with a very strong ice cream craving but she didn't want some shitty sugar wipe in the name of ice cream she really wanted the real deal that banana ice cream that got one licking their lips with a satisfied smile, now she had walked into this mall and came to the sweet shop they had all sort of goodies displayed but she chose the ice cream then the price was something but she knew it was worth she was hoping they will allow her get it. She will even share with her 7year old daughter Jessie waiting for her at home.

Ice cream was a luxury they can not afford but since she got pregnant she has been pushing away all her cravings for all sorts of things but today this craving was making her almost depressed which was not good for her nor the baby.

Ayanna taught to herself what will she do? then called Ken over and explained the situation to him what can we do to help the woman? she asked.

It didn't even take Ken a second to suggest a method without embarrassing the pregnant woman. Ayanna was impressed she taught it will work.

They approached the manager and explained

that the wanted to gift the pregnant woman some gift and cash without embarrassing her the manager Mr Wright was happy to help so he went to the counter to put Ken suggestion in motion.

Hello madamcongratulations! Mr Wright boomed! to the pregnant woman who looked confused, even the lady serving clients in that aisle was surprised, what was the manager up to? they were not running any promo.

Congratulations on what sir?? The pregnant woman asked so the manager smiled and continued, my name is Wright and am the manager of this place.

Ooh! she said. My name is Mrs Cynthia Li Xulong. What am I being congratulated for? she asked. Still looking lost.

Madam Li Xulong today our establishment wishes to give the first pregnant lady of the day that patronises us with five thousand worth of anything she wants she can also collect the cash if she so wishes..... Mr Wright finished.

To say that Mrs Cynthia was over joyed was to say the least she was struck dumb what kind of good luck was this? with her hands covering her mouth she stood staring at Mr Wright for some good minutes before she broke into a laugh then she said to Mr Wright, wait Mr Wright you say right? yes madam Li Xulong Mr Wright! the manager said smiling, you are not joking right? and this is not some dream correct? she asked...

To prove it to you how would you like to collect your gift? Mr Wright asked please come this way he continued leading madam Cynthia behind the counter where Ayanna and Ken were sitting.

Madam Li Xulong this are one of our shareholders handling this particular give away. Hello Mrs Cynthia said

Hello! Ayanna replied smiling and congratulations on your win my name is Ayanna Martins she smiled again dazzling the pregnant woman.

She then turned to Ken and said explain it to her, all this while Mrs Cynthia was still thinking she was in some drama or movie.

Madam tell us how you want to be paid please madam Cynthia then snapped out of it and replied she didn't want them to change their mind. I bought a bucket of ice cream though now I want a bigger one I mean I want the I ltr one then I also want to leave some money here for another bucket so i can bring my 7year old daughter here next week so we can then collect that bucket she had always wanted to come into this place Madam Li Xulong said with tears in her eyes but now we can even buy a bucket of ice cream when we come..... The balance will help with the baby that is on the way.

The manager Mr Wright then stepped forward and said that's OK I have removed payment for the two bucket of ice cream you go with one and you can come in any time to pick up the other I will log it in so even if am not around you can still collect and we will issue a voucher stating so too.

Thank you Mr Wright and Ayanna and am totally in your debt madam Li Xulong said.

No madam no debts, it was our pleasure to put a smile on your face Ayanna replied

Yes we are happy to help Mr Wright concurred.

Mrs Cynthia Li Xulong picked up her ice cream and the balance of the money and gently walked away.

Everyone was happy.

Ayanna also left with Ken who was pushing the trolley holding all their buys.
