He adjusted his mask and got off his car. Then, he hurried to the gatehouse and used the overused semi public toilet. He was lucky to get there earlier than others. At last, despite the cold, he gargled and washed his face with cold water before he answered the call of nature and returned to his car relieved. Now, the janitor was through with the first car and skipped Bruno's car and was on the next. He got into his car and shut the door. Likewise, he ran his hand through his head and yawned due to starvation. At that point, nothing seemed to work in his life other than to hide in his car, and he did that. Suddenly, the janitor knocked on his window and disrupted his thoughts. He wound down his window quickly and asked, “Bros, how may I help you?” The young janitor, who was conversant with street life, smiled broadly and spoke, “Bros, I have a job for you to do before your boss wakes up from sleep.” Now, Bruno wrinkled his face and wondered the kind of job he meant. “What do you mean

“What a life” he mumbled and took a deep breath. Likewise, he turned on his ignition and drove out of the airport. Then, he stopped at a food joint and queued up to buy locally prepared food in a hygienic environment. Meanwhile, the food seller, was overwhelmed by clients, especially those who were on their way to work. Likewise, she had a few number of staff who were overused.“You will have to wait for the plates to be washed, please,” the unkempt woman announced when she exhausted her washed dishes. Now, the desperate customers decided to help themselves by washing the dishes by themselves. Bruno had no choice than to do the same. Afterward, he was served and he paid one thousand Naira. Thereafter, he took his food to his car and ate to his satisfaction. Later, he drove into a petrol station and bought petrol for four thousand Naira. Nevertheless, he drove back to the hotel to meet the janitor patiently waiting for him. “Bros, you are back?” “Yes. Thank you.” “You took long, and I

“All right, I will get him,” she agreed. Then, she joyously and pretentiously called out as she walked up the staircase.“Hubby.” Now, she was determined to barge into his room, not minding how he would react.“Hubby,” she called out again and knocked. Then, she waited for his response and when he did not, she called out again and pushed the door with a mild force and got in.“Bruno,” she called out, and her eyes scanned the room for her husband. She grimaced when she noticed his unused bed.“Bruno, where are you?” She called again and walked to the bathroom and looked out for him. She walked briskly to his study and pushed the open, and was disappointed.“When did he leave the house?” She murmured. To avoid keeping Silas waiting, she shut the door after she got off the room and walked back to the parlor. Nevertheless, Silas and his orderly were surprised when she returned alone. Then, she called on the janitor and inquired, “Where is your boss?” “He is not back yet,” the janitor res

At Sharon's HouseAfter she locked the door the previous night, she ran to the bathroom at once for a hot bath. Meanwhile, she leaned on the door and breathed in and out. “I can't believe that I just slept with two men at a go,” she mumbled. Her thought was interrupted when she heard Bruno bang on the door, and she was scared. She jolted at the sound as though he was behind her. She calmed down when the banging ceased, and she concluded that Bruno had left. After, she took her warm bath and walked to the bedroom.“Have I lost Felix? How do I get him back?” She thought, and held her pillows and cried her eyes out. Then, an idea came to her and she gave him a call.Meanwhile, Felix, who was still on the way to his house, wondered why she called him. He was not aware that Bruno did not return to the house and cursed, “Nympho. What does she want?” He ignored her and drove on. Nevertheless, she called several times and he failed to pick. Then, she resolved to send a message. (Felix, dear,

Two Weeks Later. At Callum's House.After Callum ensured that the contractors had laid the foundations of the four bedroom detached duplexes, he returned to the city. His wife was glad to see him, and she inquired, “What kept you so long, my dear?” Callum smiled and explained, “Just like I said over the phone, I stayed back to ensure that there would be no attack on mama from any quarters.”Now, his wife, who would welcome any excuse that was connected with her mother, was convinced, and she pressed on, “You are right. I fear the chief priest and his fetish practices. I hope he did not summon mama to the shrine?”“I'm glad that you saw reasons with me. He attempted to do that, but Uncle Emma intimidated him.” To stop her from asking more questions, he feigned hunger. “I'm starving…” “Starving? His wife interrupted. She gave him a searching look and asked. “Didn't you take the complimentary snacks in the aircraft?” Now, Callum ignored her question and demanded with finality, “Get my fo

“I'm fine, Sir. How may I help you, Sir?” The guard inquired respectfully.“I want to see Evans,” he requested.“Who is Evans?” The guard, who was not aware of another name apart from the GMD, inquired with a worried look. Now, Bruno was reluctant to address Evans as the Group Managing Director, but he had no choice.“I mean the Group Managing Director,” he remarked.“I see. Visitors are not permitted to drive in, Sir. That is the visitors' park,” the guard advised, pointing at the visitors' car park.“Who says I'm a visitor? Don't you know me?” Bruno blurted out. “Who are you, Sir?” The guard, who had never seen him at a close range or seen him driving himself, inquired innocently.At that point, Silas, who had been watching them from the surveillance and felt that the guard had spent longer time with the visitor, sent for him.“Who is that and what does he want?” Silas inquired when the guard walked up to him.“He said he came to see the Group Managing Director.”“For what?” Silas a

On that note, he drafted an application letter, which was more of an apology letter. He stated that he needed the job badly because he had a family to take care of. He concluded the application with a sympathetic story. (… Do recall your assurance that I am free to reapply. Presently, my children are at home. I cannot afford to send them back to school because of my predicament. Yours truly, Bruno Angus.) Thereafter, he sent the application to the dedicated email address and walked into the house after concealing his stress.At the Group Managing Director's Office.The Human Resources Manager, Faye Charlie, a thirty-two years old, lively lady, walked into his office.“Good day, GMD,” she greeted.“Good day, madam.

After a series of tests, the doctor, who was not aware of their relationship, announced cheerfully, “Congratulations.
