Episode 3
I quickly signed on some of the documents I have on my table, commented on some and made correction on those that needed to be re-typed by the secretary. I stood up and took everything with me as I headed for the secretaryâs office, which was, adjourns my bossâs office. âDupe dear, how are you today?â I greeted her âIâm very fine ma and how are you too? I like your blouse, it is beautifulâ she replied, âOh thanks honey, oga dey office?â, I inquired. âYes, he just got in selfâ, âOk, please retype these documents and give it to Ada to cross check and sign, thank youâ. I gave her the documents and I knocked on my bossâs door, âYes come inâ, he answered from within and I walked in. âGood morning sirâ, I greeted my boss, he looked up from his table and answered my greetings, âGood morning Sandra, have you gone through the advert for the new product?â, âYes sir, I have commented on it and these are the documents sirâ. He held out his hands and I gave them to him, he opened it one by one and skipped through it. âOk, these are good, you can goâ he said dismissing me.âActually sir, I have an appointment with my doctor for twelve oâclock and I was wondering if I could take the rest of the day off sir? I asked meekly. âAre you ok, is everything alright?â he asked concern written all over his face and I felt guilty for a second that I was just lying to go out to lunch with my friend Ademola. âEverything is fine, itâs just normal check up but I also have body painsâ,
I lied. âOk you can go just make sure you clear your desk before going, take careâ, he said. âThank you sirâ.
I left his office and went to my colleagueâs office Ada who happens to be my close friend. âHow far babes, Iâve a date with your boyfriend and Iâve told Dupe to bring some documents for you to sign on my behalf, I will see you tomorrow ok?â I told her, âNot ok oo. Where you tell oga say you dey go? And I don tell you say make you no dey call Demola my boyfriend againâ, She complained. âI told him I was going to the hospital and why donât you want to date Demola? Heâs a good guy and he really likes you, would I lie to you? Also donât forget heâs my best friend and I know how he feels about you. My dear heâs for realâ, I told her. âSee you wey no believe in love wey dey advocate for love! Nawaâ, she said eyeing me.âItâs true, I may not believe in love but I never said all guys are bad and Demola is a good guy, please think about itâ, I explained to her. âOk, Iâll think about it but no go tell am anything ooâ, she said. âMy lips are sealedâ I said as I walked out of her office. I worked for a while on my laptop and when it was eleven thirty I closed my laptop, took my jacket and left the office and drove to Ademolaâs office.
Demola is a PR agent and he owns his own company. He knows all the right people in the country and he can get you into any event you want to even if itâs strictly in by invitation.
I walked into my friendâs office area saying hello to his secretary, âW.
elcome sister Sandra, you can go in, heâs expecting youâ.
âHi darling, how are youâ, I said as I walked into his office going behind his desk to give him a hug. âIâm fine but this one that you acting all sweet on me I know itâs because of what you want oo! He said.
I released him from my hug and sat on his desk, âAre you saying I donât show you love except when I want or need something from you?â I said with mock anger. âChill madam, I no fight you, Iâm ready, letâs goâ. We left his office for the restaurant; we made our order and settled for lunch. âSo did you get the information I sent you this morning?â I asked. âYes I did and I already have a list for you to consider, but can I eat first please? God knows I havenât had any decent time to myself since you gave me this crazy assignment but why I am doing it for you is what I donât know!â he said. âWell, I know why, you love me and you canât say ânoâ to meâ, I said smiling. âYea right, anyway, giving the statistic, profile and qualities you gave me, Iâve done my research and Iâve seven men for you.â
He said and signaled to the waitress, âMay I clear your table sir?â she said smiling at Demola. I smiled to myself, this chick is flirting with my friend and ignoring me totally, itâs time to show her who the queen Naughty Lady is.
âHmmwâ, I cleared my throat. âExcuse me, can you bring me a bottle of white wineâ she looked at me smiling politely and said, âYes maâamâ, and walked away. Demola looked at me smiling, âDonât tell me you are about to put that girl through what Iâm thinking because she ignored you?â, âSsshhhhâ, I put a finger to my lips to silence him as the girl approached. âMay I open it?â, she asked, âWhat is this? I said red wine and you brought white wine?â I said angrily, âNo ma, you said white wineâŠâ, she said confused. âAre you telling me Iâm daft and I donât know what I ordered for? I want to talk to your manager right nowâ, I said acting very angry, the poor girl looked to Demola for some help, âSir, but I thought she orderedâŠ..â, she was explaining but he cut her off, âThe lady said she ordered for red wine, apologize to her and go bring what she wantedâ Demola told her feigning anger himself.
âI I Iâm sorry maâ, she stammered, I waved my hand dismissing her. âWhy did you let her off so quick?â I asked Demola, âCome on, the girl was about to cry besides I donât know why you are jealousâ. âIâm not jealous but itâs not right to flirt with a male customer who has a female partner with him and itâs very rudeâ. I explained as the girl approached again. âHere is your wine ma and Iâm sorry again about the misunderstanding may I open it?â she asked politely now giving me her full attention, why do they have to make me annoyed before they do the right thing?She wouldnât be in this situation if she had given us equal attention, I thought. âYesâ, I replied âCan I have the bill? Demola asked. âYes sirâ, she said without even looking at him. âSee what you have done, you have scared the sweet thing awayâ he said pretending to be hurt. The waitress returned with our bill and Demola paid even though the date was suppose to be on me.
