Video Summary
AI GeneratedDayo, a billionaire, disguises himself as a poor delivery rider to find a partner who loves him for his character rather than his wealth. He meets Adaeze, a resilient woman facing abuse from her stepmother. While they form a deep bond, the relationship is strained when Adaeze discovers Dayo's deception. Ultimately, the story explores themes of trust, independence, and the superficiality of social status.
Vanessa, are you certain about this?
Marriage is not an outfit you change when you get tired.
Mummy, please.
I asked you a simple question.
Do you truly love Dayo?
I don't have to love him forever.
I just have to marry him first.
That man trusts you.
And I intend to give him a beautiful marriage.
That is not what I asked.
Mummy, do you know what the Adebayo name is worth?
Once I become Mrs. Dayo Adebayo,
nobody in this country can look down on me again.
Money is not everything.
People who have money are the ones who say that.
Even if love becomes difficult, divorce settlements exist.
Vanessa.
I'm joking.
Mostly.
Sir, move a little closer to madam.
Come on baby, smile.
I'm smiling.
That is not your real smile.
Maybe you never noticed the difference.
What?
Nothing.
Dayo, what is wrong with you?
Do you love me?
What kind of question is that?
A very simple one.
We are getting married.
Of course I love you.
Or do you just love becoming Mrs. Adebayo?
Dayo, whatever you heard.
I heard enough.
I was joking with my mother.
About divorce settlements?
People say stupid things privately.
You didn't sound stupid.
You sounded honest.
I do care about you.
You care about what comes with me.
Keep it.
Dayo, what happened?
The engagement is over.
Does Vanessa know that?
She knows exactly why.
How many of them would even look at me twice if I wasn't your son?
You cannot answer that question by distrusting everyone.
How am I supposed to know what's real?
By allowing people to know you.
They already know me.
No.
They know your surname.
Then I'll remove the surname.
What are you talking about?
For a few months, nobody gets Dayo Adebayo.
And who exactly do they get?
Just Dayo.
A billionaire pretending to be poor.
A man trying to find out whether anybody can choose him when there's nothing to gain.
Be careful.
I know what I'm doing.
No, you don't.
When you hide who you are to test people's character,
Dayo, don't be surprised if the test eventually exposes yours.
Daddy!
Daddy, don't move.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
You are on the floor.
You are not fine.
What happened again?
His chair slipped.
I told him to call somebody before trying to move.
I was trying to reach my medication.
You were here.
And?
You couldn't help him?
I am his wife, Adaeze.
Not his nurse.
Your interview.
I still have time.
You should go.
I am going.
Don't allow this house to swallow your future.
It won't.
Take this to Sandra's tailor before you go.
Now?
Did I say tomorrow?
Sandra has things to do.
And I don't?
Why is everybody shouting?
Your mother wants me to take your dress to the tailor.
Yes, please do.
I have an interview.
Then be fast.
What?
Angela, enough.
Adaeze is going for her interview.
And who will take the dress?
Your daughter has two legs.
Daddy.
Emeka, don't start.
I said she is going.
And after the interview, who will pay the transport when they reject her again?
Food, electricity, medication, repairs.
Who is paying?
Angela.
No, let us speak the truth.
What exactly will you do if I refuse?
Stand up and stop me?
Adaeze, no.
It's okay, daddy.
It is not okay.
I'll make it.
Then stop wasting time.
One day, I won't have to ask your permission to leave this house.
First, find somewhere to go.
Good morning, Brightline Consulting.
Good morning, please.
My name is Adaeze Emeka.
I had an interview scheduled this morning.
Yes, ma'am.
The interview panel has concluded.
I'm very sorry.
There was a family emergency.
Is there any chance...
I'm sorry, the position has moved to the next stage.
Okay, thank you.
No.
No, Angela.
You will not be the end of my story.
Sir, you are serious about this?
I was serious yesterday.
This thing looks like it has survived three governments.
Perfect.
Sir, the first person who recognizes you would destroy this entire plan.
Then, let's hope nobody is looking.
Seriously?
Come on.
We agreed you would at least pretend to work.
Wonderful.
Excuse me.
Sorry, please.
Is there a mechanic around here?
I don't know.
Maybe somewhere close?
Do I look like a mechanic directory?
I only asked a question.
And I answered.
You said you don't know.
Exactly.
So why are we still talking?
Please move your bike.
You're blocking the way.
Interesting.
Excuse me, please.
Yes?
My new business partner has resigned without notice.
Maybe you weren't paying him.
Do you know a mechanic?
Chike walks around here.
You don't have to call him.
If I give you directions, you'll push this thing all the way there.
Are you saying I don't look strong?
I'm saying the motorcycle looks stubborn.
Chike, Abeg, are you close?
Yes, Ada.
What happened?
One man's destiny has stopped in front of my house.
Now, fuel line and plug.
So nothing serious.
Serious enough to stop you for road.
I thought you said he was your business partner.
I'm considering termination.
3,500.
I left my wallet inside.
Inside where?
My apartment.
No, please don't.
It's fine.
You don't know me.
I know you need your motorcycle fixed.
I'll pay you back today.
Tomorrow is still part of life.
Why would you pay for a stranger?
Why wouldn't I?
Most people wouldn't.
Then most people should try harder.
What's your name?
Ada Eze.
Dayo.
Mr. No wallet.
I'll return your money.
You can.
But if you ever meet somebody who needs help,
and you can help them,
do that too.
Do that too?
That's it?
That's it.
My brother.
The motorcycle don't start.
But I don't think no motorcycle will look again.
You again?
Good morning.
Don't tell me it broke down again.
No.
Today I came to break down intentionally.
That sounded better in your head, didn't it?
3,500.
You counted it?
Plus interest.
There is no interest.
My gratitude is the interest.
Unfortunately, gratitude is not legal tender.
You?
Good morning.
What are you doing here?
He came to return my money.
You gave him money?
His motorcycle needed repair.
You people have started borrowing money already?
Sandra.
What?
I'm only asking.
He borrowed nothing.
I offered.
Same difference.
She helped me yesterday.
I came to pay her back.
Congratulations.
Just make sure he doesn't start coming here every morning.
I'll adjust my schedule.
Have a beautiful day.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Sandra.
Does she come with a warning label?
You don't know the half of it.
She's your sister?
Step-sister.
That explains the resemblance.
What resemblance?
None whatsoever.
Can I buy you something?
You just finished paying your debt.
Exactly.
I'm financially stable again.
With 3,500 Naira?
I've seen businesses start with less.
Suya this evening?
Is this repayment number two?
No.
This one is me asking you out.
So what exactly do you do?
Delivery work.
Small jobs.
Whatever comes.
You don't sound like somebody who does whatever comes.
What does that sound like?
Like somebody who uses words such as financially stable
after paying 3,500 Naira.
You notice too much.
I have to.
What about you?
What about me?
What do you want?
A job.
That's all?
No.
I want a door I can close
and know nobody can threaten to throw me out from behind it.
Your home is that bad?
Some houses are homes.
Some are just places you haven't escaped yet.
That phone doesn't look like delivery rider salary.
This?
Unless deliveries are paying very well these days.
It was a gift.
From?
A generous relative.
You helped me before you knew anything about me.
We're back to this?
I'm curious.
My mother used to tell me something.
What?
Watch how somebody treats people they don't need.
Anybody can respect a rich man.
Anybody can smile at somebody who can help them.
Your mother sounded like a wise woman.
She was.
She always said honesty is the only way to live.
Adaize.
Good evening Auntie Angela.
Who is this?
This is Dayo.
Please tell me this is the mechanic.
No.
Good evening Ma, I'm Dayo.
I heard her.
He came to drop me off.
From where?
We went to eat.
With him?
Motorcycle boy.
Good evening.
So you people are actually dating?
Sandra.
Dating?
We're getting to know each other.
What do you do?
Delivery work for now.
Young man, poverty is already full in this house.
I didn't come to ask anybody for money.
Poor people never start by asking.
Enough!
Angela.
What did I say that is not true?
You don't insult a visitor in my house.
Your house?
When last did this house run on your money?
Angela, don't do this.
Then let's count who pays the bills.
Please stop.
Keep quiet.
You can insult me if that makes you happy.
Adaize.
But stop using daddy's condition to humiliate him.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Someone who knows exactly what she's doing.
Adaize, I should go.
I'm sorry.
You have nothing to apologize for.
Good.
Good night Ma.
Does she always speak to your father like that?
Sometimes.
And to you?
I know how to handle Angela.
Knowing how to survive something doesn't mean you should have to.
She really likes him.
Let her.
You don't care?
They deserve each other.
A girl with no future and a man with no money.
Be careful what you call worthless, Angela.
Life has a way of embarrassing people.
I've done this thing three times and I'm still getting the wrong figure.
Because you're discounting the terminal value twice.
What?
Remove the second discount factor.
Your answer should be around 11.8.
Dayo, what exactly did you say you do for a living?
Delivery.
Yes, I remember that part.
Then why are you asking again?
Because the last delivery rider I met didn't calculate discounted cash flow in his head.
Maybe you need to meet more delivery riders.
Maybe you need a better lie.
You went to university.
Yes.
Ah.
What?
That famous university called Outside Lagos.
I'll leave you.
Thank you.
But one day, Mr. Delivery Rider, I'm going to understand you.
Maybe I'm very simple.
You are many things.
Simple is not one of them.
Hello, good afternoon.
May I speak with Miss Adaeze Emeka?
Speaking.
We received your application for the junior accounts position.
We'd like to invite you for an interview on Friday at 10.30.
We'll send the details by email.
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Well?
I got an interview.
You got the interview?
I actually got it.
I told you.
Don't start behaving like you employed me already.
You're still worried.
I'm happy.
That's not what I said.
I'm scared of getting excited.
Why?
Because when you've been disappointed enough, hope starts feeling dangerous.
Then don't hope alone.
Adaeze.
Hmm?
There's something about me you need to know.
Okay.
I haven't been completely honest about...
Your drinks.
Thank you.
You haven't been completely honest about what?
How confident I am that you'll get the job.
That is not what you were going to say.
It was.
Kunle, I told you not to call this number unless it's urgent.
Your father needs you at headquarters tomorrow morning.
What happened?
The financing papers arrived.
You're required to sign them before 11.
Move the legal team to 9.30.
I'll be there.
Yes, sir.
Everything okay?
Family matter.
You sounded different outside.
Different how?
Like somebody was about to lose their job.
Maybe I have a powerful telephone voice.
Dayo.
Yeah?
Can I ask you for something?
Anything.
Don't lie to me.
I can forgive bad news.
What I can't stand is finding out somebody I trusted was making a fool of me.
I understand.
Good.
Mommy!
Come quickly!
What is it?
If this is another dress.
Mommy, I think I just found my husband.
Adebayo?
Chief Adebayo's son.
Is he married?
Engagement ended.
Better.
Mommy!
What? Somebody's loss can be another person's opportunity.
This is him.
Old picture.
Still handsome.
Handsome is a bonus.
And billions?
That is the qualification.
What are you doing here?
Returning stolen property.
My notes!
Future accountant.
Current forgetful person.
Give me.
Come inside.
Is your stepmother home?
Are you afraid of her?
Deeply.
I'll protect you.
Adaize.
Guess who I'm going to meet.
I am going to meet the legendary Dayo.
Dayo Adebayo.
Who?
You don't know Dayo Adebayo?
Should we?
You wouldn't.
That's him.
What do you think?
Why are you asking like you're related to him?
Maybe all Dayos support each other.
So you want to marry somebody you've never met?
I said I want to meet him.
What if he's arrogant?
I can manage.
What if tomorrow his family loses everything?
Then tomorrow he loses me too.
That's terrible.
That's life.
No, that's you.
Please.
Love does not pay rent.
Neither does a rich man's surname if he doesn't love you.
Spoken like somebody dating a delivery rider.
Okay, tell us.
Tell you what?
What exactly is so special about him?
He listens.
He respects me.
And occasionally, very occasionally, he's funny.
Occasionally?
Don't ruin the moment.
You again.
Good afternoon, Ma.
Sandra.
You got them?
Two invitations.
To the Adebayo Gala?
Exactly.
This is why young women must choose carefully.
Auntie Angela, please.
My Sandra will never waste herself on a poor man.
Love is sweet until hunger enters the house.
We heard you.
Good evening, Ma.
Good evening.
You have 23 minutes.
I sign the papers and leave.
Sir, this is becoming risky.
I know.
Respectfully, sir, knowing has not stopped you.
We cannot afford any mistakes on this project.
Good morning, Mr. Adebayo.
Morning.
The board is waiting upstairs.
Have legal send the final documents in.
Already done, sir.
Good morning.
I'm Ada Eze Emeka.
I have a 10.30 interview.
Yes.
Please take a seat.
They'll call you shortly.
Thank you.
The disappearing executive has returned.
I said I would come.
We only need your authorization on the financing structure.
This assumption is wrong.
Which one?
Page four.
You're calculating the debt service against last quarter's rate.
Correct it before I sign.
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Ada Eze Emeka.
I studied accounting and I enjoy work that requires finding where numbers stop making sense.
Give us an example.
During my internship, three months of expense records wouldn't reconcile.
What did you find?
Duplicate supplier entries and a review process that wasn't being followed.
And you corrected it?
I corrected both.
You look different.
I'm wearing a suit.
Not the suit.
The girl.
Her name is Ada Eze.
Does Ada Eze know your name?
Then she does not know you yet.
How was it?
I think good.
That smile says better than good.
I'm trying not to celebrate yet.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Where are you?
My interview just finished.
So?
It went well.
Fine.
Are you coming home?
Eventually.
Ada Eze.
What?
That's Ada Eze.
Here?
Get the car.
Immediately, sir.
Mr Adebayo.
Sorry, one second.
Email me.
Yes, sir.
That was too close.
I know.
Tell her.
I will.
When?
Hey.
I think the interview went really well.
Hey.
I told you you'd be fine.
You were the first person I wanted to tell.
Really?
Yes.
You believed in me before I did.
Ada Eze.
Hmm?
Nothing.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
What happened?
I lost my job.
Okay.
Okay?
We'll find another one.
We?
Yes, we.
You don't even know how long I'll be unemployed.
Have you already decided to remain unemployed?
What if it takes months?
Then it takes months.
That doesn't bother you?
Should it?
It's not just the job.
What else?
I owe some money.
How much?
It's handled.
Then why did you mention it?
Is somebody threatening you?
No.
Did you borrow for the motorcycle?
Something like that.
Something like that is not an answer.
I didn't want you involved.
You told me because you wanted me involved.
Ada Eze.
If this is too much, I'll understand.
What is too much?
Me.
Because you lost a job?
Because I don't have much to offer you right now.
Is that what you think?
What?
That your value to me is whether you're employed?
That's not what I meant.
Then don't talk to me like I'm Sandra.
If I only wanted money, Dayo, I wouldn't be here.
What's that?
Money.
No.
You don't even know how much.
I said no.
Why?
Where did you get this?
I saved it.
For what?
Rent.
Rent?
I've been saving to move out.
You don't need all of it.
No, Ada Eze.
This is your way out.
I'll save again.
You would delay leaving that house because of me?
You need help now.
Why?
Because we're together.
You keep saying we.
Maybe because I mean it.
I can't take this.
Why?
Because...
Because I don't deserve it.
Let me decide what you deserve.
How is your experiment?
Over.
You found what you wanted?
Yes.
Then why do you sound miserable?
Because she passed.
And I think I failed.
What did she give him?
An envelope full of money.
Money?
I saw them.
Where did she get money to start feeding a man?
Where is the money?
What money?
Don't play stupid with me.
You were watching us.
It's my house too.
What did you give that boy?
My money.
Your what?
My money.
All that money you've been keeping?
Yes.
You gave it to him?
He needed help.
A man who cannot take care of himself is now collecting money from you?
He didn't ask me.
Of course.
These are the clever ones.
Auntie Angela.
First the motorcycle, then no job, now debt.
What exactly do you see in that useless man?
He's not useless.
He is taking your money.
I offered it.
That makes it worse.
Why?
Because he's poor?
Would it suddenly become acceptable if he had money?
You think life is one romance film?
No.
Then wake up.
I am awake.
You have no stable job, no house, nothing.
And you want to carry another person's problems?
At least when Dayo looks at me, he doesn't make me feel worthless.
What did you say?
I said he treats me better than you ever have.
Angela!
Never touch my daughter again.
She insulted me.
And you have insulted her every day in this house.
Now you're suddenly talking?
Yes.
I should have talked years ago.
I kept telling myself I couldn't protect my daughter because I couldn't stand.
I blamed this chair.
But my legs were never the problem.
I was afraid.
I'm not afraid anymore.
Adaize.
Dayo.
Who did that?
It's nothing.
Don't tell me that's nothing.
Was it Angela?
This money.
I'm giving all of it back.
You said you needed it.
I shouldn't have taken it.
What happened?
Adaize.
There's something I need to tell you.
About me.
Adaize!
Adaize, please!
Can this wait?
Okay.
I need to stay with my dad tonight.
I understand.
Adaize.
Tomorrow.
What?
We need to talk tomorrow.
Okay.
Adaize.
My name is Dayo Adebayo.
No.
Everything I told you about myself wasn't true.
But what I feel for you is.
Dad.
Where are you?
Why?
The foundation team has changed tomorrow's donor presentation.
I need you at the hotel.
I can't.
Why?
I'm telling Adaize today.
Good.
Tell her after you leave the hotel.
Dad.
30 minutes, Dayo.
You're meeting her afterward?
Today.
Good.
No more lies.
Miss Adaize?
Yes?
We'd like to move forward with you.
You mean?
We're offering you the position.
Thank you.
You earned it.
Wait until you hear this.
Sir.
I know.
Hey.
Where are you?
I...
Mr. Adebayo.
They're waiting for you.
Dayo?
I'm at home.
Good.
Why?
I have something to tell you.
Me too.
Miss Emeka.
Sorry.
You left your original certificate copy at reception.
Oh.
We can keep it until Monday.
I'm still nearby.
I'll come back.
This is a massive step forward.
Kunle will handle the fine details.
Dayo.
Perfect.
I will see you tomorrow.
Safe travels, Dayo.
Where are you?
Still at home.
At home?
Yeah.
Mr. Adebayo.
Your father asked for you inside.
Mr. Adebayo.
Chief is already in the ballroom.
Give me one minute.
We're already behind schedule, sir.
Good evening, sir.
Welcome.
Enjoy the gala tonight, Mr. Dayo.
Good evening, sir.
You're late.
Adaize saw me outside.
Did you tell her?
No.
Dayo.
I was going to tell her today.
Going to tell the truth is not the same as telling it.
I know.
Then go and find her before she discovers everything from somebody else.
Adaize.
Who are you?
Who are you, Dayo?
Tell me one thing.
Anything.
Was there ever a real Dayo?
Yes.
Which one?
The delivery rider?
Or this man?
My name is Dayo Adebayo.
I can read.
My father is Chief Adebayo.
I figured that out too.
Adaize, please.
No.
You've had months to talk.
I was engaged before I met you.
Okay.
Her name was Vanessa.
I heard her tell her mother she didn't need to love me.
What did she want?
My name.
My father's money.
So she hurt you?
Yes.
I'm sorry she did that to you.
But what did I do?
What?
What did I do to deserve being punished for what Vanessa did?
You didn't.
Exactly.
She lied to you.
So you came and lied to me.
The motorcycle?
Borrowed.
The apartment?
Mine, for the disguise.
The delivery work?
Not my real job.
The cheap phone?
Part of it.
And the debt?
Dayo.
There was no debt.
You didn't lose your job?
No.
You made that up?
Yes.
I gave you the money I saved.
I know.
No.
You don't.
That money wasn't just money.
Every time Angela made me feel like I had no place in that house,
I saved.
Every time I wanted to leave and couldn't,
I saved.
And I handed that freedom to you.
I never spent the money.
That is not the point.
I brought it back.
That is still not the point.
I realized I was wrong.
When?
Before or after I proved what you wanted to know?
I needed to know if someone could love me without the money.
So you tested me?
At first.
At first?
After I fell in love with you, it wasn't a test anymore.
But you kept lying.
Yes.
Then what changed?
I only wanted to know if you could love me when I had nothing.
You wanted to know if I could love a poor man?
Yes.
Did you ever stop to ask whether I could love a liar?
I love you.
I believe you.
But that doesn't make this okay.
Give me a chance.
A chance to do what?
Fix it.
You can't fix trust in one conversation.
Let me take you home.
No.
At least let me explain everything properly.
You explained enough.
Adaize.
I need space.
How much?
I don't know.
I'm going and please don't follow me.
I won't.
So?
The poor boyfriend has finally disappointed you.
You have no idea.
What happened?
Nothing you need to worry about.
I warned you.
About what?
Men like him.
A man who has nothing will eventually become your burden.
Money was never the problem.
It always is.
You really believe that?
Adaize.
Daddy.
Are you all right?
No.
Do you want to tell me?
Not yet.
Then I will wait.
What is that?
I got the job.
What?
Brightline.
They offered you the job?
I start next week.
My daughter.
Daddy.
I knew you would do it.
I almost didn't.
But you did.
And nobody gave it to you.
You earned it.
A junior position.
Angela.
What?
I said congratulations.
No, you didn't.
Fine.
Congratulations.
At least you got something.
Thank you, I think.
There's something else.
What now?
I'm moving out.
You're what?
I'll be leaving this house.
So you're going to live with that man?
No.
Then where are you going?
I found a room close to work.
With what money?
My salary.
And what I still have saved.
You think life outside this house is easy?
No.
I just think it's mine.
And when things become difficult,
I'll deal with them.
Alone.
If I have to.
I spent too long waiting for somebody to make this house easier.
I'm not waiting anymore.
So now you're too good for us?
No.
I'm finally good enough for myself.
Can I come in?
Of course.
I should have protected you.
Daddy.
No.
I used this chair as an excuse for too many things.
You were hurting too.
That doesn't mean you should have carried the price.
I don't hate you.
I know.
But I need to leave.
You should.
A father is supposed to prepare his child to stand without him.
You learned despite me.
Not despite you.
Partly because of you.
You can always come home.
You're my home, Daddy.
You'll come back when you see how hard it is.
Maybe it will be hard.
It will.
But if I fail, it will be my failure.
And if I succeed, it will be mine too.
I don't need anyone to rescue me anymore.
Hello?
Hi.
I'm not calling to ask you to forgive me.
Then why are you calling?
I still have something that belongs to you.
The envelope?
Yes.
You could send it.
I could.
But I owe you an apology to your face.
You already apologized.
I defended myself.
That's not the same thing.
What exactly do you want from me?
Nothing.
Nothing?
You don't owe me a conversation.
But you're asking for one.
Yes.
Only if you want to hear me.
30 minutes.
It's all there.
You counted it?
Three times.
Still no interest?
I don't think gratitude qualifies anymore.
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
I'm not thanking you for returning it.
I'm thanking you for finally understanding it wasn't yours.
You're right.
I lied to you.
Not because you gave me a reason.
It didn't.
What I did was selfish.
And cruel.
Because somebody else hurt me.
And I decided that gave me the right to make you prove you were different.
The worst part wasn't finding out you were rich.
I know.
No.
Listen.
The worst part was realizing that every time I opened up to you,
you knew something about the conversation that I didn't.
You always had more information than I did.
That means I was never standing on equal ground with you.
You're right.
You keep saying that.
Because you are.
I don't want you to prove anything else to me.
No more tests.
And what do you want?
Eventually, I'd like the chance to earn your trust.
I can't promise that.
I know.
I might never trust you the way I did.
I know.
And you're okay with that?
No.
But it's not my decision.
Did you start work?
Monday.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You earned it.
Yes.
I did.
Did she forgive you?
No.
And you're smiling.
She listened.
That's something.
I'm not going to pressure her.
Good.
For the first time, I'm going to let her decide who I am by what I do next.
Tonight, don't waste your time talking to everybody.
I know.
You'll find Dayo Adebayo.
If he's anything like the picture, that won't be difficult.
Smile.
Be respectful.
Let him see you have class.
Mommy, relax.
I'm very relaxed.
I just want you to meet the right kind of man.
Meaning rich?
Meaning sensible.
So where is this Dayo Adebayo?
Stop looking desperate.
I'm not desperate.
You've checked the entrance eight times.
I just want to know what I'm working with.
Relax.
You'll know him when you see him.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight.
Please welcome the Executive Director of the Adebayo Foundation, Mr. Dayo Adebayo.
Good evening, everyone.
No.
What?
Mommy, that's him.
Who?
The motorcycle guy.
Don't be ridiculous.
Mommy, look at him.
That's Adaizi's Dayo.
No.
Yes.
Oh my God.
He knew.
Knew what?
Who he was.
Every single time.
My father taught me that money can open doors.
But it cannot tell you what kind of person is walking through them.
Sometimes the people with the least to give materially are the ones who give us the most.
Respect should never depend on what we think another person can do for us.
Mommy, let's go.
Sit down.
He has seen us.
There are hundreds of people here.
He knows our faces.
Sandra, what are we going to say if he comes here?
I've spent most of my life being introduced as a businessman.
But tonight, I'm more pleased to be introduced as this young man's father.
Even when he insists on making life unnecessarily complicated.
Thank you, Dad.
Good evening.
Dayo.
Ma.
I mean, Mr. Adebayo.
Dayo is fine.
You never told us.
That I was Dayo Adebayo?
Yes.
Would it have changed anything?
The way you spoke to me?
I...
The way you treated me?
Probably.
That's the problem.
I may have misjudged you.
You did.
I said things I shouldn't have said.
You did.
I'm sorry.
Would you still be sorry if I arrived tonight on that motorcycle?
You don't owe me the biggest apology.
Adaize?
Yes?
Are you and Adaize still...
No.
She left you?
I gave her a reason to.
But she knows who you are now.
Yes.
And she still walked away?
That's what you still don't understand.
Adaize never wanted my money.
She wanted honesty.
The poor girl you both looked down on
was the only person in the room who understood what was actually valuable.
Enjoy the evening.
Mummy.
I know.
We treated him terribly.
No.
We treated them terribly.
Auntie Angela.
Can I come in?
If Dayo was still a delivery rider, would you be standing here?
I don't know.
That's why I'm here.
I came to apologize.
For what?
Be specific.
For treating you like you were less than Sandra.
For insulting you.
For using your father's condition against both of you.
And for hitting you.
Why now?
Because I was embarrassed.
Because Dayo is rich?
At first.
Then I realized something worse.
What?
If he had truly been poor,
I would have believed everything I said to him was acceptable.
And that scared me.
I thought I was teaching Sandra how to survive.
By teaching her to disrespect people?
I called it being smart.
I taught her that people matter according to what they can give you.
And then I watched her do exactly what I taught her.
I didn't like what I saw.
She learned it from you.
I know.
I'm not asking you to come home.
Good.
You were right to leave.
I forgive you.
But forgiveness doesn't mean things go back to the way they were.
I understand.
I hope you do.
What's all this?
Work.
That explains nothing.
I'm restarting the distribution business.
Daddy.
Smaller this time.
But mine.
Did Dayo give you money?
I asked him the same kind of question.
So?
No gift.
Chief Adebayo's company offered an investment.
Daddy.
With terms.
If the business fails, I answer for it.
That sounds like you.
Dayo came to see me.
What did he want?
Nothing.
Dayo rarely wants nothing.
He asked me not to speak to you for him.
Oh.
He said if you ever forgive him, it should be because you chose to.
So I'm not going to tell you what to do.
Thank you, Dad.
What are you doing here?
Taking a risk.
With roasted corn?
I was advised against arriving with a helicopter.
How did you know when I finish?
I asked you last week.
No investigation.
No test.
Good.
Peace offering.
Is this how billionaires apologize?
This one does.
I don't want us to go back.
You don't?
No.
Going back means pretending none of this happened.
I want to start again.
Start how?
Hi.
My name is Dayo Adebayo.
I work for my father's company.
I have trust issues.
And apparently very bad ideas.
Very bad.
So?
Can I take you to dinner?
No.
Okay.
You gave up quickly.
I'm learning not to manipulate answers.
You can walk me home.
Really?
Walk.
Don't start planning our wedding.
I wouldn't dare.
Until at least next week.
Joke.
Dayo.
Yeah?
If we're starting again, no disguises.
No disguises.
No tests.
No lies.
Okay.
Yours looks better than mine.
We've been together again for 30 seconds and you're already taking my food?
Who said we're together?
