I think at the beginning of the story it shows that she doesn't know how to feel about Edward. This is because no men have been introduced into the story. As the story progresses she meets an interviewer who I think is supposed to symbolized Edward. The interviewer likes her and hires her and then starts to try to touch her. I think this represents Edward becuase Edward likes her and brought her to Jumping Monkey Hill but he is also creepy. I think the bank trust manager is supposed to represent how she feels about Edward at that time. She likes him but also thinks that he is not paying close attention to her anymore. Edward then starts to become very creepy and is always looking at her body. The alhaji is also supposed,to represent Edward because whenever he talks to her he does not look at her eyes he looks at her body. He also wants her to be his personal contact even though she had not said anything through-out the meeting. He then tries get her to like him by showing her his perfume collection. He will do anything to grt her to like him just like Edward. Chioma then walks out and leaves her job. I think this shows what Ujunwa wants to do. She wants to leave Edward because he is creepy just like how Chioma left alhaji because he was creepy. I also thnk that having a story in a story was a good and intresting way to tell the story. It provided more depth to the story but the story was still easy to understand. It was better than just saying something like "Ujunwa wrote a story about how Chioma..."
