“The legal age to work is eighteen.

If I hire you, it would technically be illegal.” Her heart pounded.

“But,” he continued, giving her a sharp look, “if you are willing, I will still hire you.” Her eyes widened.

“You will have to sign a document,” he explained, “stating that you knew your age and requested the job despite the law.

That way, if the authorities ever investigate, I will not be held responsible.” Nnenna blinked.

He was serious.

He was giving her a choice.

“Yes, of course!” Nnenna responded eagerly, nodding.

“Thank you so much, sir.” Seeing her enthusiasm, the head manager studied her for a moment.

She really needed this job, he could tell.

What was a girl like her doing here, desperate for work?

His suspicions deepened.

He had been almost certain of her identity from the moment he first looked up.

But now, watching her so determined to work a normal job, his curiosity only grew.
