CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP - 9

SCENE 10

INT. MAGNET OIL AND GAS/MRS OGUNBOWALE'S OFFICE - SAME TIME

Miss Etim knocks slightly on Mrs Ogunbowale’s door which has the inscription “HUMAN RESOURSES HEAD” and lets herself into her office. Mrs Ogunbowale, 40's, drops her phone call on seeing her and immediately rises to her feet.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

(Staggered)

Miss Etim.

MISS ETIM

Hello madam?

MRS OGUNBOWALE

I’m surprised to see you in my office. You could have sent someone to fetch me.

MISS ETIM

I need you to do something for me, Mrs Ogunbowale. I need a copy of Bruce's CV.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

Bruce Okosun?

MISS ETIM

Yea.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

Alright. I’ll bring it to your office.

MISS ETIM

No, no. I need it now.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

Ok, let me quickly check through my cabinet.

Runs through a large chest of drawers containing alphabetically arranged folders.

MRS OGUNBOWALE(CONT'D)

Hope no problem, ma’am?

MISS ETIM

Oh, none at all. How is your husband?

She smiles and nods to indicate wellness.

MISS ETIM(CONT'D)

 And kids?

MRS OGUNBOWALE

They are very fine, ma’am. And thanks for asking.

Mutters ‘Bruce Okosun’ as she flips through files. Shortly, she pulls out a file with Bruce Okosun’s name atop. She opens and takes out Bruce’s Curriculum Vitae.

 MRS OGUNBOWALE(CONT'D)

This is his file.

MISS ETIM

(Eagerly).

Let me have it.

She makes a copy with the photocopier in Mrs Ogunbowale’s office.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

Let me help you with that.

MISS ETIM

Don’t worry, Mrs Ogunbowale, I’ve got this.

Mrs Ogunbowale is amazed at her keen interest in Bruce’s Curriculum Vitae. She hands Mrs Ogunbowale the original.

MISS ETIM(CONT'D)

Thanks.

MRS OGUNBOWALE

You’re welcome.

She stares at Miss Etim in amazement as she leaves her office.
