Written by E PLUS The Storyteller ✍🏿   Janet had slept off after a very long conversation with the president; he stood and watched her sleep for a while before he left her room. The next day, Janet woke up with a start at the constant beeping of her phone; she rolled over and reached out to receive the call.     "Good morning." She greeted.      "Ah ahn! Janet! Why na?
