Previously..Ama.I burst out laughing."You're not serious. Anyways this is the first time I'm even hearing about circles. So you mean that any celeb that isn't in a circle won't be successful?" I asked."Point blank period. No ifs or buts. This is the reason, those people you want to get jobs from actually have their own circles babe, they will give the gigs to the people in their circle before they remember you. They'll just give you the crumbs. Leftovers if you will. Example, Tola Odunsi. He is the creator, producer and sole director or one of the most popular series in Nigeria, The men's club. The cast? Sharon and Ayo are his protégés, Efa and Baaj are friends of his, Enado is his girlfriend, Daniel was probably casted by Dami who is the writer. She's worked with him a ton of times. Nengi Adoki had a thing with Baaj so he put her on, the Tiara girl is also managed by Tola. See? Even Pete's casting that is being attributed to Big Brother, it's not true. Tola is also his manager.

Previously…Femi.“Wow. It’s the fact that I follow all these people for me.” She said.I looked at her and then back at the road. “Really?” I said.“Yeah I’m a fan. Now I’m just realizing that my boyfriend is friend with them. I especially love Ika.” Ama said.“Oh wow maybe we can go to Canad and see them. They are really good friends. Ika used to troll me for my hideous ways though.” I said. Ika was such a blunt person and even if she liked you she would never condone bad behaviour and would tell it to your face when acting distastefully.“As she should. I know she would. I wouldn’t expect anything less from her going by her days on big brother.” Ama said. She was so excited.“I’ll see if we can go there soon. We have nothing doing here anyways. Have you been out of the country before?” I asked.“What do you think? Of course I haven’t. Who has that money?” She said. I chuckled. “Well you do now. You have the money. My money is your money baby.”“Okay o. Thank you babe. So we will s

Femi.We got to the house quite late because of the traffic we faced before getting home.“I’m so tired and hungry.” Ama said.I followed behind her into the room. “You should have told me so we could get some food on the way home. Let me order on Glovo then.” I said.“Alright. Sorry for not saying it earlier I was pre occupied with the gist you were giving me. Premium gist.” She chuckled and I smiled.“Okay let me order some Chinese. You like that right?” I asked. I still didn’t know everything she liked.“Yup. Love that as long as it tastes nice babe.” She said as she took off her clothes. Before I could order and turn around, she was already in the shower.I ordered a three course meal because she had not eaten anything tangible throughout the day apart from the one she ate at her brother’s flat which wasn’t much to write home about.My phone rang while I had undressed and waited for the order. It was Pastor Iren. I had to make sure I didn’t imply that Ama was in my house. As much

Previously...Femi."Well, at the police station, Pastey called me in the middle of my rage after I had talked to Ife and said he just had a feeling that she should call me. I felt that. So he made me calms down and I went in to talk to Chike. He called me now to see if I had any difficulty or if anything happened. Plus he asked me if he could call my name while announcing the auditorium in church." I said."Okay. I take it you said Yes?" Ama asked."Yup, I did. I want to use that to clean up my image a little bit. Mainly because of you. I don't like how they are dragging you online." I said. My image needed to be cleaned up so that Ama could feel comfortable."Okay. Thank you though" She said.Then the door bell rang."That's the food" I said and stood up.———-Ama.It was a joy that Pastor Iren had called Femi. He was proving to be a really loving person. And the fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to call and check on us was something really worthy of emulation. He was

Previously…Ama.“So um,” I said while we ate. “We need to talk about today. We can’t gloss over it like it doesn’t exist.”“Yeah I know we need to. I wanted us to relax first,” Femi said.“Okay we’ll we are relaxed now so we can start.” I said. I wanted us to talk about this and get it out of the way. I was not the passive aggressive type.———-Femi.Ama really wanted to talk about the issue right now and I was really hungry but I wanted to get it out of the way. I didn’t want it to linger so I obliged. I kept eating the food though.“So yeah, I completely understand the reason why you got the plea deal now. I’ve had some time to think about it and I get it really.” I said. I did not want to tell her that I had spoken to Pastor Iren already about it. I knew talking to people about matters like this was not the right approach but I was so confused in this instance so I had to. Talking has helped me see that I had been overreacting for no apparent reason and I was remorseful for that.

Previously…Ama."Yeah sure I'll just let them know. Any thing you want." I said. Our issues were very petty and that was the annoying part.We had a fairly good night and I loved it. We finished eating, watched a movie and slept off with no weight on our chests.————Ama.It was finally the day that I would meet Femi’s parents finally. I felt chills going around my body. It was as though the weather was ice cold but it actually was not. It was my shivering in nervousness that made it seem that way.Femi was dressing up as I finished putting makeup on my face. I went for a light look because I didn’t want to look to flashy but also I wanted to look elegant and classy at the same time. I put on some lipgloss that I got with Femi’s debit card. It was the Fenty gloss bomb that I got from the Fenty partners in Nigeria. Essenza. He saw me looking in the store and told me to get whatever I want. I got some makeup and a perfume. Very good flowery scent. I was already wearing a silk Versace

Previously…Ama.“That man is very rich o. I have friends who have friends. He runs businesses that give him money but, he doesn’t bring it out in the open because of the way people have stereotyped pastors, believing them to be people that should only do church work. I’m made to understand that even in the Bible, Paul collaborated in business with a tent maker even while he was preaching the gospel. But anyways, the most popular business he owns a part of is gird store. The one that sells merch that everyone wears and he wears it too. How do you think he even has all the merch even before they are released. He owns a part of it. Some businesses he runs, he puts other faces behind them and just runs it from behind the scenes. So yes the man is really humble I can assure you.” Femi added.“I wonder where you get stories about this man sha.” I asked him. He knew much more than me who had been following hims for a long time.“Well, I talked to Banky. He told me a few things. Akah too kno

Previously..."Well we got scars now. I'm still figuring out how to live with them. Hiding them is one thing I cannot ever do though." He said.I subconsciously found myself touching my own scars."Yeah, me too. I've decided not to hide them anymore. They are a symbol of strength and the shit that I had to overcome." I said, tears filling my vision.I saw Femi looking at me with admiration in his eyes. He smiled when he caught my eye. "That's good. You guys sha have to get going so that mummy will not call you Femi. If she does, you sef you know what will happen.""Yeah I know and I don't have strength for her scolding so let's go baby." Femi said."Alright its good to see you Kola." I said and Femi and I headed out ready to see his parents.———Femi.We got to my parents' door and I sighed. Ama was still nervous. I could feel it. I understood her. Even though there was nothing to be nervous about, I still understood her. Nollywood and romance movies didn't make this any easier.I squ

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.
