Hope had enquired what he wished to be added to the delicacy to which the man responded that he didn't know.

In her own volition, she added semi ripe plantain of Ghc6 along with the oxtail pepper soup and delivered it to the client.

The excited man appreciated her for the gesture with a promise to repay Hope's kindness.

"I sent the order and "ADDED SEMI RIPE PLANTAIN OF JUST Ghc6"...... .... ..he reached out to me and was so excited and grateful for the fact that I thought it wise to add Plantain to his order. He said he doesn't take it for granted and that he owes me...I told him he owes me nothing."

The client linked her up for a big job
