She used that information to achieve control of her flatmates.
Mattie reduced Bisola’s proximity with Tonye while extorting benefits from her flatmate. Yet, she desperately wanted to marry Tonye. She felt she was the prettiest of them all, and she could offer Tonye much more than Alice’s parents were. Mattie created an imaginary social media personality based in the city of Jos on social media, whom she named Tony Waks, and sold to her friends as her own Mr. Tee. Mattie talked so much about her Mr. Tee to the point that her friends wanted to meet him. She repeatedly arranged for gifts to be sent to her by courier, claiming they were from Mr. Tee.
While all of these were on, Tonye ran into Henrietta at a colleague's birthday party. Henrietta was surprised to see Tonye in his right elements. He was smartly dressed and socialized well, especially with the girls. As a broadcaster, Tonye was familiar with the DJ, the celebrant, and several girls. As Henrietta observed him, she realized that he was handsome. Gradually, she started desiring him and comparing herself to Alice. Henrietta thought Tonye would be underutilized by church-girl, Alice since he was already a party freak. Henrietta blamed herself for being fooled by his pretense of being a born-again Christian.
Henrietta decided to confront him. When Henrietta showed up in front of Tonye, he was sitting with a guy and two pretty girls, sharing a bottle of Hennessy whiskey. It was easy to notice that the girls were excited about his company as they flaunted dauntlessly their sensitive parts. Tonye was embarrassed when he saw the looks in Henrietta’s eyes. Yes, it was disapproving, but not disgust. He thought she would spare no time to inform Alice, but he was wrong. Henrietta who ignored his friends, bent over to whisper to him. Her act was understood by the ladies on the table as a seductive step, as it exposed her breasts.
