Previously…Femi.“It’s to get the license for our company to start predicting Lays in Nigeria for Nigerians in order to reduce the cost and make money in the process.” Ama said.“Oh I’ll give that to you. It is really brilliant. How did you get this idea?” Kola asked.“I was watching Big Brother US and …” Ama started but Kola cut her off.“Oh Taylor with the Lays? I loved her. I watched it. Anyways that’s a fantastic idea. Sometimes some of my friends that love it but it in a pack of forty for fifteen dollars just so they can have it until their next travel. That and the fact that them using that same fifteen dollars to buy Lays here wouldn’t be up to that forty packs.” Kola said.“Wow you might just be my ordained gay best friend.” Ama said in a joke and Kola sat up speedily.“I reject it in the mighty name of Jesus! Which yeye gay. Because I watched that darned show.” Kola almost screamed.“Sorry sorry sorry sir.” Ama said unenthusiastically and then giggled. She was such a menace.

"Let him be playing now. Anyway Ama l, welcome back. Tell me when you can resume. I know you're recovering and all." Shawn said."In a weeks time. I need to prepare myself first before coming back." Ama said. It made sense. She had to arrange herself well and get new clothes that fit the standard of her new position. I was going to let her go crazy on my debit card for that."That's perfectly fine. I'll see you then." Shawn told her."Ehen Shawn oya answer me because there was absolutely no way I was going to let this slide without asking you. So what is going on between you and my good sis Radike?" I asked him."You're not serious brother. Why are you asking me that? You know what's going on. We are getting to know each other and that's that." I said."Are you sure because what I saw isn't just getting to know each other. It has graduated more, far more than that." I said. I know I was being a gossip and a mosey person but I wanted to know what was really going on."See I'll talk to

Previously…Ama."So yeah their relationship was great and went on for years with no one the wiser until recently when he started telling her about marriage. She was super excited that he was talking to marriage to her but then she found out through the blogs that he was getting married to some politician's daughter and you know he is really popular and she is as well. So basically he didn't even think to tell her or talk to her about it and when she saw the news, she confronted him about it and all he had to say was, my mum made me do it, they sid it was to strengthen the company and bla bla bla. sounding like a broken record." I saod. i was getting pissed all over again."He is such a pussy. He is legit a grown man who should be married with kids by now. Why are his parents still controlling him and using that tired excuse to blackmail him. They don't need no politician to help the business. Gone are those days. If the politician isn't willing to partner with you by all fucking mean

Previously…Ama.It seemed as though Femi was thoroughly pissed about this and was going on and on about it. I got it. I too was very angry and pissed about it when i heard it the first time."Anyway Radike has Shawn now, I hope it is going well." I said."Me too babe. Radike is such a nice person. Shebi you know she was trying to give you her kidney that period. She didnt even think twice about it. If not that she failed the serum test. It would have been her and not me." Femi said.This was news to me. I had never been told that Radike tried to give me a kidney. I did not even know that she tried."wow that piece of information seems to have been withheld from me. I feel so blessed to have met her." I said. I was so glad that Radike was my friend because i was sure that she loved me and i loved her too.At this point we had gotten back to the house and were in the parking lot.Femi looked at me after turning off the ignition."How was the night for you?" he said smiling sweetly at m

Previously...Now they were bringing colorism into it. Typical Twitter users. I had dated not just dark skinned women but light skins as well. It was just that I had never dated someone who was mixed race before. Ama even, was not exactly mixed. Her grandmother from her father's side was Indian so her father was the mixed one. She was quarter Indian but the genes were very prominent in her, not so much in her brother. That was why she looked mixed. But I had never been colorist or wanted dark skinned women to feel pain. My mother was dark skinned. I was dark skinned as well. I didn't derive joy in doing that to dark skinned women. Most of the light skins I dated however didn't come out to bash me or recount the experience. They just took whatever I gave them and moved on. But the dark skinned ones knew that they would get Internet sympathy and decided to put it online. Dark skinned black women got the most sympathy online and managed to attach anything they went through to the way the

Previously. Femi."You look very gorgeous. Love the fit." I said and stood up."Thank you babe." She said as I held her waist."So what was taking so much of your attention like that?" She asked again.I chuckled. "Yeah I was surfing Instagram and Twitter for what people were now saying about us. I haven't check in a long while." I said."Hm, and um what we're they sayin" I asked."The usual. Some were saying I'm not genuine. But this time I found people defending us which is very good.” I said.“Hm okay sha me I don’t look for those things again. The last time I did it I was kidnapped.” Ama said. I chuckled lightly. I didn’t even know if that was a joke or not. I remembered how she was fuming so much that she left and was kidnapped. Was not a good memory at all.“Okay that’s a good one. People are defending us now. That’s a signs that we are doing something right at least.” I said.“I’ll check it when I’m ready. I don’t want to vex. Even though there’s people defending us there’s s

Previously…Ama.“Good morning Ama. I thought you stopped working with us.” A lady said. I hated her guts when I used to work here before. Her name was Hadiza.“Morning Hadiza. I think you will learn soon enough. I have a meeting with the board now so excuse me.” I said and I caught her surprise before I walked away.She used to pick on me when I was the executive assistant to Mr Shawn. She was his clerk. The person that wrote down everything he wanted and made documents out of them. She worked under me sometimes and I reckoned she was jealous of the important role I played and was rivaling me because of that. However I have gotten a promotion and she wasn’t aware. It was time to show her who is the boss around here.———-Femi.Getting to the office was so emotional for me. I had not seen this place in a while and coming back here was a highlight for me. I entered and some people expressed surprise to see me. “Good morning sir. Welcome back” they said at intervals. I was nodding and

Femi.It was very strange to see Radike sitting and talking to Kola for the first time in a long time. I thought they were done with each other for good. Radike didn't even want to touch him with a nine inch pole. But now they are doing up best friends."Good morning guys" I said and Kola came up to hug me."How are you bro? Feels like forever since I saw you last," Kola said."I was at the house some days ago man. Sorry, I know you can't live without me." I teased.Kola chuckled. "If I don't deck you right now" he said and eyed me. I laughed."You're not a serious person." I said,I looked past him. "Didi what's up" I asked Radike. She seemed lost in whatever she was looking at."I'm fine. How are you and how is Ama?" She asked."Fine and Great actually, today is her first day as a project manager. I hope it's going well." I said sincerely from my heart. Ama had been hyperventilating for the past week and was frantically reading blog posts about project management. It was funny but c

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.
