Chapter TwelveBisola forgot about Dapo coldness and aloofness at the office, she can only saw someone whom she wish to emulate, the way Dapo maneuver the car amidst the lot of car on the way, make Bisola wish to be to handle the steering just like her boss does.Half an hour later, the jeep stopped directly in front of Bisola house, she opened the door to alight the car, but Dapo hold the door, in his haste, his hand brushed Bisola dark skin, Bisola flipped at the touched of heaven, but then she noticed Dapo holding the door to stopped her from leaving.“It is late Sir; I have to be on my bed.” Bisola said after sitting back with confident.“I will be picking you up tomorrow morning.” Dapo said still holding the door at bay.“What!” Bisola exclaimed inside of herself, but she swallowed her saliva first together with her nervousness. “You know I can always find my way in the morning, I only request for transportation at closing time.”Dapo bang the door closed first. “Its not a reques
Chapter ThirteenDay Four Friday.Morning come around as it usually does every risen morning, that sound that Bisola hated the most in her entire lifetime pierced her hearing, Bisola hissed and used her pillow to covered her ears with the hope to stopped the sound of alarm from getting to her ear, but the pillow was of no use.Reluctantly, Bisola threw the pillow far away to the edge of her room, she shut the ala off, she stood up from her bed, and said a little prayer, then she head into bathroom and had a nice warm bath. Half an hour later, Bisola is dressed up in a red sleeveless gown, the gown reached her knee, she also wore a black suit over the red gown, finally she stylishly combed her hairs backward and put it into a bond. Bisola checked her wristwatch and the time reads half past seven, quickly she rushed into a kitchen and made for herself a bowl of cornflakes, she quickly drank it and picked up her bag, she came back to the sitting room, she met her friend also dressing u
Chapter Fourteen“Well as long I am still your driver, we are both sharing my office.” Dapo said finally, he turned around and walked away, but then he felt that Bisola is only looking at him leaving and not moving, he turned back to confirmed and he was right. “Am I speaking to somebody?” Dapo asked in an authoritative tone.“But at least let me checked inside first; before I come around to join you.” Bisola said in protest, but her voice hold complete confidence like she was not even moved by Dapo tone of authority.“I said no.” Dapo said in an changed tone“And I also insist too as well.” Bisola said and fold her arms together.Dapo drop his raised shoulder. “Okay, do you want me to asked as a proper gentleman to a Damsel?” he removed his cap and bowed down a little bit, he stretched his arm forward. “Can we move into my office to discuss business please? ;Madame Bisola” Dapo asked in a very changed tone, really like a gentlemen did. Immediately he changed his pose, he put back his
Chapter FifteenDapo was dumb struck, he stood rooted like someone who was struck by lightning, but he was not struck by lightning after all, he was only struck by the beauty who is seducing him by her innocent exercise. It was now that Dapo noticed the office dress that Bisola wore, she was modest in her own way, not too eye catching, not too old skul, everything about her this day seems to perfect on her, that wondered if this was an entirely different Lady from the one he picked up this morning.Bisola finally stopped stretching, she had actually forgot herself because of her stretching, she turned towards Dapo direction and she noticed him looking very weird and crazy, as he focused all his attention on her. “Are you okay?” There is no response from him, Bisola moved closer and snapped her finger at his face. “Are you okay?” she asked in a stern tone.Dapo snapped out suddenly. “What do you want to have for lunch?”“Anything is good right now.” Bisola shrug her shoulders up, I am
Chapter SixteenBisola as well also began to eat, but what Dapo said kept ringing in her mind, the same time, the brief kiss in the car also came rushing to her mind, she felt the sweetness of his lips once again. Bisola can only ate her food absentmindedly.“Dapo is this the reason you are ignoring me, and refused to picked up all my call, and also not replied my messages?”Bisola heard the voice from a faraway place, she heard the voice clearly, but she care less about it, because she thought that there are many Dapo all over the State, but the voice repeated itself, this time closer than before. Bisola looked up and noticed that Dapo also frowned, his expression also had changed, she recognized this kind of expression very well, because this happened only when her boss hate someone to the core.In her heart, Bisola wanted to know who owned the voice, she turned around and she saw a very sophisticated lady behind herself, she is dressed up in a green coloured sleeveless gown, her li
Chapter SeventeenDeep down in her heart, Bisola was very hurt to the bone, the ten minute drive back to the company was the longest journey of her life, she didn’t looked at Dapo direction as he drove back to the company, because she didn’t want Dapo to see her pitiful state, because she was gradually shedding tears.Actually after she heard the painful fact from Kate, and she also heard Dapo reply to all of Kate allegation, Bisola care less about Dapo reply, she was just concerned about what Kate said, she walked back into the restaurant on wobbly legs, when she sat down to continued her meal, she lost her appetite completely, her mind was on what Kate said, and after she reviewed it all, she knew that Kate was so right.First Dapo was from an influential family, she was an orphan with no family background, she was even rejected by his father and mother family, thus the difference between her and Dapo was like the Sky to Earth, therefore trying to love him was more like building cas
Chapter EighteenFinally when it is about evening time, Bisola and Dapo finally make a breakthrough concerning the campaign, Dapo and Bisola laughed loudly and gave one another an high five handshake, Dapo glanced through the tactics once again and he smiled, he gave it to Bisola to also reviewed it once again, Bisola also did and he frowned after few seconds.“What about the prototype?” she asked still frowning.“I told you it was not necessary, I am the prototype itself, we have the slide and the drawing all made ready.” Dapo said.Bisola shake her head. “I have little knowledge about engineering, but with all this that we have here, you need a prototype for it at all cost.”Dapo tone changed. “And I insist that it not necessary, because I already met with Mr. Makinde once, and he does not asked for a prototype.”“Really, are you sure you finished with the campaign before you are cut short?” Bisola askedDapo frowned hearing Bisola question, because she was actually right about been
Chapter NineteenBisola on her own was just deep in her own thought, to make matter worse, they ran into a traffic jam, it make matter more complicated for her that she slept off.An hour and half later, Dapo stopped the car right in front of Bisola apartment in New Bodija, he turned around to talked to Bisola, because she was silent all through the journey, but then he notices her fast asleep. 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 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
