Bisola looked so innocent as she sleep, even Dapo was lost in her innocence for a few seconds, he was tempted to kissed her red lips, but he was always the but that was hard to break, thus he didn’t wanted to be seen as a lovesick one, this he resisted and beat Bisola lightly in her arm to wake her up.“Wake up Bisola, we are at your home.” He said still tapping Bisola to wake up.Bisola wipe her face with her backhand, she looked around and she recognized the area she was as her neighborhood, she turned back to Dapo.“Did I slept for too long?” she asked still in a sleepy state.Dapo shake his
Chapter TwentyDay Five.Early to bed; early to rise say the old adage. Bisola woke up even before her alarm woke her up, even though she slept early yesterday night, she had little sleep, her sleep was not a very pleasant one, she had a bad dream all over the night, with Kate playing the major role of tormenting and ruining her good moment with Dapo.Since it is Saturday today, Bisola had the whole day to herself, she lay back on the bed and began to reminisce on her dream, as much as she wished to forgot about Dapo, her mind just won’t forgot about him, that is why she always dreamt about him every time she slept, in fact dreaming about Dapo had became her second hobby since five day ago after meeting him.When she realized how long she was on bed without sleep, moreover she it is already daybreak fully, she decided to leave the bedroom, but she knelt beside her bed and pray silently to her Creator.Bisola picked up her phone and called Tolani her friend first, they both talked for

Inside the bag was a white gown, white high heel shoe, earrings, chains, bangles and rings all in white colour. Bisola looked back at Dapo with am angry look, now she really wished she is as strong as Man, maybe he can just strangled his boss to death.“How did you even know my size in the first place?” Bisola asked angrily.“I didn’t became an engineer by honour, I worked for it, so I had a keen eyes and can evaluate little thing even without touching them, so far I see it.” Dapo said in a business tone.Bisola nod her head, not in agreement with Dapo, but in mockery. Be
Chapter Twenty TwoThus Dapo had to prostrate mainly to greet them, there are some people who are Dapo mate, thus he exchanged handshake with him, he also kissed most his age mate partner in the cheeks.Well, Dapo does not only greet his business partners alone, most of those elders asked about Bisola who was beside him, and Dapo introduced Bisola as his partners, he removed the part that Bisola was just one of his worker in the office, almost all the elder women all loved Bisola beauty, since all of them are once Bisola age, the are able to see Bisola reality, they are glad to see a younger generation who relied less on make up to be beautiful, but only few of the Dapo business partner who are his age love Bisola, especially their partner.Even though Bisola enjoyed the limelight, she urged Dapo to find somewhere to sit down first, Dapo nod his head and turned to his business partner.“Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry for coming late, can we find a table and sat down first.” Dap
Chapter Twenty ThreeBisola replied to their question truthfully, Mr. Makinde and Madam Agatha nod and they welcomed her very well. Bisola and Dapo enjoyed the party together, each time many other prominent people greet Dapo and Mr. Makinde, some asked about Bisola, and each time Dapo introduced her as his Girlfriend, even Bisola was enjoying the feeling of been Dapo GirlfriendJust as that even proceed on and on, even Bisola was so engrossed in the event, their table were served, Bisola noticed it and does not gave the snacks and drink a second look, Dapo as well was busy typing on his phone all the time, Mr. Makinde and Madam Agatha as well are also focused on the event.After couple of more hour, Dapo finally changed his attention, he turned around towards Mr. Makinde and his wife.“I am afraid I have to leave now.” Dapo said.“That quick. Can’t you just stayed behind for a few more minute and view all my collection.” Madam Agatha said in a sorrowful tone.Dapo laughed. “Ma’am, you
Chapter Twenty FourDapo nod his head and he lead the way in, he bought two ticket and he proceed in together with Bisola, they find somewhere to sat down comfortably as they viewed and enjoyed the event on show. Luckily for them, it is a live concert, and the show was actually a cultural display. Bisola was so engrossed with the cultural display, she was able to learned more about the art and culture of the people in the Country, in fact that very moment her interest in art and culture profession developed immediately, she decided to go into it, maybe if she let Madam Agatha knew about it, she might help her, by that she can also became an Entrepreneur, and then owned her own business.The show last for another three and half hour, and Bisola had never been glad to view a show as this, in fact she regretted ever fighting Dapo for bringing her here, she looked back at Dapo and muttered thank you at him, but he didn’t even noticed her saying thank you at him.By the time Dapo drove ba
Chapter Twenty FiveDay SixBisola woke up to the ringing of her phone, actually she was very sleepy and at first can’t recognized her surroundings at first, but few seconds later her brain, her brain settle and she was able to understand her position. Bisola quickly find her phone inside her purse, she checked the caller and it was from Tolani her friend, she picked up and talked to her for a few minute, she hung up and looked around.At first Bisola was not sure of her surroundings, because she had never woke up in this kind of surroundings in her entire lifetime, at least where was her bed, her soft pillow which make sleep so comfortable for her, where was her side table where she always picked her phone from every morning.Bisola stand on her feet, and she recognized the place she was as the sitting room, she looked at herself all over again, she was wearing a white gown, it was then that last night event replayed all over her mind, actually due to tiredness from yesterday date wi
Chapter Twenty SixMeanwhile Bisola as well was having a conflict of emotion, he knew that Dapo was not just a talker alone, when he said he would do something, then surely he would do it, thus when Dapo carried her up in a bridal style, she didn’t cried for help because she also anticipated it as well, she wanted to feel so closer to him than she had always does, and she was not disappointed because age love the feeling she felt when she carried her away.Dapo stopped in front of his car, he put her down and unlocked the car, he opened the car and turned to Bisola with a stern look, Bisola as well entered into the car as well, Dapo banged the door closed after her, he also entered the car from that other side, he start the car and drove away from the church compound without speeding up.Bisola had stopped weeping, she placed her purse in the dashboard, she also placed her Bible and Hymnal separately on the dashboard as well, she turned toward Dapo whose attention was on the road.“Ho
Chapter FortyFinally the day drag to an end. Dapo drove Bisola to her home, the journey from the night party to Bisola house took them an hour, Bisola alighted from the car, that is after she had share a kiss with him, their kiss deepen and it almost got out of control, but Dapo was quick enough to broke away, before they both created a scandal that might never finished.Bisola walked towards her apartment, she keep looking back at interval, yet Dapo remained on the same spot, Bisola just can’t stop laughing, since Dapo had been driving her home, Bisola enjoyed the bliss of him waiting till she was inside, but last two days ago, it was a torture to her. But here she was today, her Beau was there watching her walking away.Finally she was at the door and she met the door still locked, she opened the door with her own key, she entered first and moved the curtain away, she saw Dapo still waiting, but then immediately she moved the curtain, Dapo drove his car away. Bisola smiled and sat
Chapter Thirty Nine“I wanted her to understand that we woman are helper to our husband, we don’t fight to over him, or to rule over our husband, but to be seen as their partner, I want him to see our importance in our husband life, I want Dapo to understand how much the society need us. Our husband might be our Head or our Crown, yet without use, our husband is going to die of much frustration.”“Just that.” Bisola said with her mouth opened wide.“Yes. Last time I asked about the campaign, and you reported, I already knew you will needed the prototype.” Madam Arinola said.Bisola was now very shock. “Then why kept quiet?”“Because I knew you will get it ready for the campaign, and that is my message to My Son. Women are not parasite, but we are flawless, we helper to our man, we are unique to our man.” Madam Arinola said.“You are really something else Ma’am. You went through all this just because you wanted to matchmake I and your son.”“And it work, you will be my Daughter-in-Law
Chapter Thirty EightThus the feeling was mutual, but he was too full of himself back then to expressed himself or agreed with his own heart. Bisola seriously fought back the tears coming from her eyes, but it’s uncontrollable, there is no way she can reject Dapo advance at her right now, thus she was too happy to reply him positive answer. When she can’t control her emotion, Bisola took to her heels and she ran out from Dapo office.Dapo didn’t understand the reason for her running, he was on the same spot for more than five minute, he decided to followed her, but Victoria came in smiling, she held Dapo back from following Bisola. Dapo knew that Victoria probably heard their discussion, he also stopped.“What should I do? I caused her to cry again.” Dapo said looking so worried.Victoria smiled once again. “Master Dapo, let Bisola be for an hour, she might broke the icy wall around your heart, but you also broke through her steel heart as well. She was too happy to reply to you, that
Chapter Thirty SevenBisola make it back to Dapo office, she found Victoria doing her work by clearing all the materials used for the campaign, Dapo was at the window drinking from a mug, clearly he was drinking coffee. Bisola approached him confidently.Dapo turned around. “Vic, can you please excuse us for a minute?”Victoria stopped her work, she nod her head and she walked away from the office, she banged the door closed after herself. Bisola held the letter closed to herself, she wanted to dropped the letter.“Bisola, before you do what you wanted, can we discuss this?” Dapo said, he walked closer to her.Bisola was really surprised at Dapo change of attitude, she had know Dapo to be Arrogant, Proud, Lonely, Authoritative, Bossy, but she had never knew that Dapo was this sweet and caring, his tone and approach this time was so sweet to Bisola hearing. Still something that shock her was how Dapo knew what she wanted to do.“How do you know what I wanted to do?” she asked in a surp
Chapter Thirty SixDapo frowned. “I am sorry, you said last time that it was really not necessary.” Dapo said, but his voice was shakyMr. Makinde nod his head. “Yes you are right I said so, but then it was not necessary, because I see no reason to buy something that might gave me gain, so why bother seeing the prototype. But now was different, I see the need to get this your mysterious machine first, so I have to see the improvise now.”Dapo knew that moment that he had lost the campaign for good, and that eventually means that another person is going to take over from him, eventually he had given his birthright to another person, he had given out his Father sweat and blood to another person who don’t even know how much his father sacrifice to build the company up to this stage.The situation on ground pour a cold water on Dapo heart, because he knew Mr. Makinde to be very strict, who don’t condone mistake twice. Dapo sat down dejectedly, because what he feared the most is happening
Chapter Thirty FiveBisola looked around searching for Dapo, she saw him coiled up on one of the chairs, Bisola moved closer to him.“Are you okay?” she finally asked.Dapo sat right first. “We have just Ten minutes left to decide my fate, if I lose this campaign, I am done for, I have failed my father who worked hard for this place.” Dapo stood up and hold Bisola hand. “Bisola I am really scared, I have never been this scared in my life.”“We will scale through this Dapo.” She sat down and also urged Dapo to sat down too. “I trust us Dapo, I believed in us more than anything, we will get it, because we worked for it, because we prepared for it day and night, thus we won’t fail.”“Words are not enough to get me back this place.” Dapo said and stood up on his feet.Bisola also stood up, she followed after him and embraced him from behind, she even rest her head on his back, just like the dominant wife who will never share her husband with anyone, She felt so happy to be in such positio
Chapter Thirty FourDay EightBisola opened her eyes as the alarm beside her bed rang for the tenth time, reluctantly she had to woke up and face the challenges for today, it was when she was enjoying her morning sleep that she had to woke up again. Actually Bisola had just a little bit of sleep last night, not because she dreamt about Dapo or thinking about him, she slept very late because of herself.Immediately she said her goodnight to her friend last night, Bisola was busy drawing up plan for herself, she only had just a day to submit her proposal to Madam Agatha, knowing fully well that, she can’t have the chance during the day, thus she spent the whole of last night to draw up a proposal, and this was a piece of cake for her, because this was her job.Bisola sat upright and rubbed her forehead, she prayed first and the same time power on her phone, the digital watch on her phone reads 7:15am, Bisola gasp out in a total shock.“Oh, I am a dead meat today.”Quickly Bisola ran out
Chapter Thirty Three.“Well, my mother want me to get married, the allegations is that I am too workaholic to even find time for myself, so they found a husband for me, that was why I was invited home.” Tolani replied again.“So is that a good thing or bad thing then?” Bisola asked with her hands up in the air.“It’s a good thing, because at first, I thought I was going to found someone I won’t like, but you won’t believed if I said it is Victor Adebayo.” Tolani replied and she sat down beside Bisola.Bisola frowned first. “Wait; don’t tell me Victor Adebayo, as in the Victor we both know from High School?”Tolani clapped her hand together. “Exactly, he was now a CEO who owned the same Hotel where I worked at.”“Wow, life had it’s way of bringing people together.” Bisola said and faked a surprising expression.“Exactly, he told me that he saw my résumé, so he contact his parent who contact mine, and that was how I am going to finally become Mrs Tolani Adebayo by the end of this year.”
Chapter Thirty TwoActually Bisola wished to help Dapo out, but as much as she wished to help him, she was also powerless as well, in fact she wished to he a daughter of a rich mogul, and she can buy back all the shares for Dapo, she wished she also owned a huge enterprises and buy back Arinola’s Group of Company and hand it over to Dapo as a gift. But off course, they are just wish which she knew can never be possible never.With nothing else to do in the office than just sit down all day, Bisola decided to glance through the campaign strategies all over again, actually Dapo will do most of the talking during the campaign, still she wanted to prepared herself, she didn’t want the campaign to failed because of her. Bisola read extensively, when she was at the prototype, she stopped and placed the file on the table.Bisola stood up from her chair and began to walked all around the office, she had a bad premonition in her mind about the prototype, thus Bisola decided to do something abo
