Previously…Femi."Are you certain doctor?" I asked him again. I didn't want more bad news later or him not telling us stuff."Yes and before you ask sir, no, I'm not hiding anything." The doctor said and smiled.I chuckled "Getting witty there are you?" I said.The doctor smiled wider "Congratulations miss Ama." He said and left.Ama had tears in her eyes when I turned my attention to her. She was finally free of all this rubbish. It had been a turbulent experience for the both of us but we had pulled through."It's over?" She asked while tears fell from her eyes."It's over babe. You did it." I said and brought her into my side."Oh my God... we did it babe. We did it." She said and cried more into my shoulder.We laid down for a bit. I let her marinate in the news she just heard for a while until she fell asleep. I knew how much of a rollercoaster it must have been for her in this situation. She's been in pain for so long. I was sure that at some point she felt her life slipping aw
Previously…Femi.I carefully placed her on the bed and walked out of the room after stealing a glance one last time.I went out of the room and there was Radike at the door."Finally..." she exclaimed."Why?" I asked her feeling confused."You've been in that room for ages" she said."Who now asked you to leave?" I asked her even though I knew why she left."Well, I was trying to give you two some time alone. Matthew went with Tunde to get food and I've been standing here alone." She complained."I don't know what you want me to tell you o. I really don't." I said to her. This was just funny banter and nothing serious."Rest please!" She said and tried to go into the room. I blocked her"My dear, she's sleeping." I said."Okay, thanks for relaying that piece of information to me. Can I go in now?" She asked. I liked the friendship between me and Radike. It was quite chaotic but fun at the same time. We could throw multiple jabs at each other but we knew we weren't being serious and
Previously…Femi."Okay, what's the favor? Hope I'm safe because you always have something happening with you." Radike said looking at me from underneath her eyelashes."Calm down" I laughed. Radike was a clown most of the time."Okay I'm calm." She said. "So um I wanted to ask you to go to Kola for me." I said and looked at her nervously."Bruh you know I can't do that... I'm not speaking to him right now." She said."Please? Okay just listen to what I want you to speak to him about." I begged.She readied herself silently and waited for me to speak."So apparently Ama and Kola spoke today and made a truce to stop attacking each other. Well for Kola to stop attacking her because Ama hasn't done anything. What I need you to do is to help me make sure he actually is going to go through with it. I know Kola. He can finish telling you one thing and do something completely different. So yeah." I said and waited for her."I don't think I should be the one doing it though." She said.I tri
Previously…Femi"What do you mean?" I said."Well, he made that truce because of you I believe so it's only you that can make him keep to it. You need to make him know that you are fully aware of his talk with Ama so he will behave. Because if I go he'll tell me the same thing." Radike said.I pondered on it and I realized that she was right. If I went to Kola by myself, he would be more serious than if Radike went there herself. It was better to show him how serious this was than to send her. I pondered sending her would soften him up because he does hold a soft spot for her."Okay I agree with you. But after I do it, you'll have to do it too maybe when you're in the office. Go to his office and talk to him." I said.Immediately I talked about Kola's office, Radike's face changed and she covered it with her palm. Was she... blushing?"Radike!" I yelled her name playfully."What?" She said and smiled."What is all this?" I asked while smiling."Nothing. But that office thing can't wo
Previously…Femi."Not there either!" She said with conviction. They have had sex in there? This was news I didn't need to know."Girl, I didn't need to know this particular information.. okay catch him anywhere but please do it. Anyhow." I said and she grinned and nodded."Thank you." I said and we shared a hug.I went to my room and saw the last person I ever expected to see———Femi."What the fuck is this and what are you doing here? The fuck." I asked her.What was Ife doing in my room when I told her very clearly to stay away."I came to see you, heard you had a surgery." She said.She batted her eyelids at me and tried to have seductive mannerisms. Don't get me started on her attire. She was wearing a leopard print short and skimpy dress."I don't need it. How many times will I tell you to stay away from what is it?" I said.I purposely did not go in and stayed behind the shut door.Ife sighed and stood up from my bed, coming closer to me with a seductive walk. I caught on to e

I said.I purposely did not go in and stayed behind the shut door.Ife sighed and stood up from my bed, coming closer to me with a seductive walk. I caught on to everything she was trying to do."Okay stay back now." I said. I stood my ground with a firmness. I didn't want her to think I was going to entertain her rubbish."Oh come on babe..." she slurred and pressed her body against mine.I was restraining myself from pushing her off me.She ran her hand down my body and I looked up at the ceiling in frustration. I didn't want t
Previously…Femi.Before her hand got to its destination, I caught it in mine.I stepped forward and she stepped back with fear in her eyes. She was scared but couldn't run away because I was holding her hand. I stepped forward again and again until we got to e middle of the room and then I threw her on the floor swiftly."I've told you to stay away from me." I yelled. I was so annoyed and frustrated with her antics. It was getting tiring and jarring now,She panted and looked up with a sick smile on her face. "You know I cannot do that. We are soulmates. Yes we are.""You're fucking kidding me." I said and chuckled darkly. The delusion."You're deluded and I don't even know what to tell you. Just leave, right now." I said. I tried to refrain from insulting her or calling her out of her name but then again I was being tested to my very limits.She chuckled and stood up from the ground."Well, I believe we are and no matter how much you humiliate me, I'll keep coming back." She said."

Ama does and she's getting exactly that. You, you can get lost." I said.Her countenance changed twice in a split second. It first chan
Ama.The day had ended. I felt giddy to go home and tell Femi all that happened today. My dream was being fulfilled before my very eyes. I was living in it. I really appreciated Femi's dad for giving me this opportunity. I was very grateful.Femi texted me, telling me he was downstairs and I ran into the elevator without knowing, meeting Tola there. "Ha, hey bestie... why are you running like that?" He said with an amused look on his face."Running ke, me? Never" I said, feigning ignorance of what I just unknowingly did."It's only man that will make you that excited. Femi is here isn't he?" He said.I folded "Yes he is." I rolled my eyes "I'm just happy to finally see him that's all. He's been MIA throughout today." I said."Ahn ahn why?" Tola asked."Well he's been in a meeting and I get it you know. Today is his first day at work since the transplant so I understand. They were probably doing an organizational meeting of some sorts." I said."Okay I get it. Anyways how are you enjo
Femi.I felt so bad for not answering my fiancée. I looked and saw a text from her. “Hey, I know you’re probably busy. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. I’m so happy. Gahhhh call me when you can. Ly x” the text said.I didn’t want to dampen her own mood in any way. She seemed very happy about what was going on around her. I was still sad and emotionally downcast and I knew if I spoke to her in this mood she was going to leave everything she was doing and appear in my office. I would really appreciate her presence now but I also didn’t want to spoil her happiness. I decided to text her saying that I was going to be in a long meeting and I would come pick her up when she’s ready to go. She texted back for acknowledgement. I dropped my phone and sighed, placing my head in my hand. I seemed to be doing that a lot.In my mind, I was trying to picture how this woman could even be remotely related to me. I had to keep telling myself “my parents are dead”. Whoever this woman was, she
Femi.Today was a good day. I was very giddy while entering the office and it wasn't even about anything that I did or was going to do. I was just very glad that Ama was finally getting her flowers. It was vivid in my mind how she would always talk my ears full on how many ideas she has for the Lays project even when it was not set in stone that she was going to handle it with Kechi industries. She had so much passion for this that i knew she was going to do very well with it.As i walked into the office i was greeted by the front desk representative and before i could leave the lobby she said "There's someone here to see you sir. She said she is your mother." She said.I frowned. My mother never came here before. It was strange that she was here. "Okay where is she?" I asked. I hoped for her sake that she didn't send my 'mother' to my office."The conference room" she said. I sighed and walked in to my office first to drop my laptop and gadgets before going downstairs back to the con
Ama."So, the Lays project was actually suggested by me for business continuity. We were brainstorming for strategies to have more leverage in the manufacturing market and I came up with this. We already have a deal with Pepsi who are the primary owners of the Lays brand. It is such a big brand in the US. Now we have to latch on to the brand more to be able to keep our relationship. We already have the Quaker Oats deal because we asked them for it and that is why Quaker Oats is no longer an imported brand. Now is the time to take Lays. This will mean that Lays would be cheaper here in Nigeria and would make more sales, generating revenue for the company. We need to design the product and pitch it to Pepsi for approval and rights." I said. Once I was done with my speech, there was a roaring thunderous ovation for me. Even the HR manager who looked scornfully at me before was ecstatic. I felt good indeed."Any questions?" I said once I was done with my presentation. I had shown them a c

Ama.The meeting went from project to project until it finally got to my turn. The Lays Project. Shawn smiled when he saw it. He had texted me before today that I had to come and defend the project in front of the board. They had approved it but wanted to know if I knew what I was doing. They are very unserious because I was the one who came up with this idea so what more did they want? I however, tried to study what had already been rendered and made slides to display what I was about to say.I stood up and walked over to the front of the conference room and started my presentation. I was looking around at the faces before I started and my eyes landed on Shawn. He gave me a small smile and a nod. I felt more confident as I was feeling nervous before.
Previously...Femi."Wait I actually told the doctor to still do the test with the fetus they removed. I know it's dark sided but I don't want to be beriddled with grief that's not mine to bear. Because I think it's my fault. If I wasn't shagging some girl and actually answered the phone on time maybe they could have saved the baby you know." Tunde said."There was no way that you could have known," I said."How long till the test comes out?" Kola asked."By tomorrow." Tunde said."So calm the fuck down. If the baby is really yours then you can now cry as much as you want but I am sure that the baby isn't yours. That girl is a slimy snake." Kola said.. "As for you, I will call Dad's therapist. You need to get yourself straight after the damn drug use." Kola said."Okay. I don't want dad to know though" Tunde said."He won't know don't worry. Therapists don't snitch on their clients. Even if Dad will definitely know you're seeing the therapist, he won't know why and think it's for your
Femi.Tunde just stood there staring at us but we didn’t waver. We had to intervene. Tunde did not look good in any capacity at all.“Tunde you need to speak.” I said after a while of silence.“Why? Why do you guys think that something is wrong with me?” Tunde said while twitching, even though I doubted it before now I was sure that he was using.“God! Tunde where did you get the drugs from!” Kola yelled, he was not having it. Tunde was getting irritated now.I held Kola’s shoulder. “If you come at him like that he won’t say anything,” I said to him.I looked at Tunde, “The reason why we think you have a problem is this,” I pointed at his appearance,“You’re really insecure about your hairline but your hair is growing out, you never let that happen for anything. You didn’t even wear a cap to cover it. You’re dressed like a homeless person. Shirt not tucked in, tie loose, clothes rumpled. No suit on a Monday morning that’s very unlike you.” I said.“And let’s not forget the uncontrolla
Previously…Femi."Well after all this it seems like I have to get an executive assistant because the work is plenty. I need someone to keep track. This just means that our company is growing day by day and I am proud of everyone and the work they have put into this while I was away. Thank you so much. Speaking of our company growing, it may seem as though we have made enough money for us to raise salaries. You all have done a wonderful job. I will liaise with HR. Expect those emails." I said. Everyone cheered and I liked to see smiles on their faces. They would only be happy to work for us when they are happy with the benefits they get.Once the meeting ended we cornered Tunde in the conference room, just the three of us and I used my phone to shut off the surveillance cameras so that we could effectively speak to our nit wit brother.———-Femi.“Oya what is going on with you, quickly.” Kola said.“I don’t understand why you guys are attacking me like this” Tunde replied. I noticed h
