Mrs. Adebimpe, standing by her Toyota Camry, stares at Tade straight into the eye. 'Are you trying to deny the fact that you cheated me by reducing my #1000 worth of petrol? She asks angrily. Tade stares at the floor ashamed and playing with his fingers. The Petrol station manager who had been watching from a reasonable distance all along, strolls to the scene and testifies that he actually noticed from the screen view how Tade had stopped the flow at 85 litres instead of completing the 125 litres which is commensurate to the #1000 naira that she paid. Tade had also manipulated the daily account in the sales book. He needs no prophet to tell him that it's time he kissed his job goodbye.
