"You could have called me the minute she left your office man." I said. I was quite disappointed that he didn't inform me sooner even though I already knew that she went to Chike's office earlier.

He shrugged "I really don't know the dynamics of the relationship you have with that girl. It's never really clear what you guys have so it was hard to make that decision."

"It's fine though. I already know she went there but next time you hear or see anything that concerns Ama you let me know first okay?" I demanded and he nodded.

"Okay so what did you really want to talk to me about?" Tunde said.

I leaned forward again "Okay, um so Ama got sacked today."

"What? Shawn did that? For what reason?" Tunde asked, flabbergasted.

"It wasn't Shawn, Tunde. Apparentl

    Previously…Ama."Haha do you know how many girls want what you have right now. Just sit back and be spoiled." She said smiling."I know right? I really need to talk to Matty. He's been acting really awkward. It's throwing me off like no mans business." I said."Just leave him for now. He will still come upstairs. You know how he behaves. He can't stay in his room for two seconds." She said and rolled her eyes. I laughed.Radike finally went to the kitchen to get something to eat. I was glad that I prepared something before she came home. She always did the same for me.I took all the gifts and went into my room in that interval. I looked at the boxes again. I was throughly amazed. I never thought that a man would ever find me worthy or important enough to spend all that money on. According to Femi this was only the beginning and I couldn't imagine wha

I was thankful that she was still fully clothed.The got off each other upon our entrance. I wish I didn't have to see this.Radike straightened herself out and ran out the door without so much as a glance towards any of us."Wow, you're busy.." I said while Kola awkwardly arranged his shirt and pants. I was glad that the fucking hadn't started yet.I looked at Tunde who was still covering his eyes "Tunde you can open your damn eyes." I said. I was pissed and annoyed and it was evident in my voice."Kola you are a ho but on office grounds? With the damn s

    Previously....Femi.I could understand why Tunde was upset. He didn't want anybody filing a law suit for sexual harassment just to exploit us. A lot of CEOs and Company Directors and officers amhave been sued for this because an office romance went wrong. Women would use this to exploit these men. We had enough scandals as it was. We were trying our best to avoid lawsuits."Fine.." I said. I knew that these words were all Tunde could assure me of. Knowing him, she would have been long gone. I actually saved her job but I couldn't say I would be able to do it again.I stood up from my spot. "Well I guess I have to go and talk to Radike now before this gets out of hands.""Yeah you go do that." Tunde said and stood up, going behind his desk. "There's this girl I gotta FaceTime" he said and gave me a wink."You do what you gotta do brother." I said smiling and

    Previously...Femi.Radike stood up from the chair. "I appreciate you looking out for me. Knowing Tunde I was so sure he was ready to fire me. He's the more ethical one of the three of you."I was stunned at how fast she observed that. "Wow you have really good reads.""I try" she said giving a small smile. "I'm gonna go now." She said and took her leave but not without thanking me again.I shook my head "Kola want to get this poor girl in trouble." I said under my breath and picked up my phone, ready to text Ama.————Ama.Being at home alone for the second day in a row in which I knew that I didn't have a job was stressful for me. I didn't feel like I was resting at all because I did just come out from a sabbatical. I was bored and I was feeling very unproductive. I knew that I had taken a jo

    Previously...Ama.I got down and scanned the parking lot for Femi. I saw him leaning against the front of his Tesla. Thank God it's the Tesla.Femi was looking gorgeous as always. He seemed to have changed out of his work clothes as he was wearing a black v neck t shirt and ripped blue jeans. His hair looked stylishly messy and shiny. He looked very fresh like he had just showered.I went to where he stood and his face lit up when he laid eyes on me.I smiled "hey Fem Fem." I said."Hey babe. Come here" he said and opened his arms and I went into his embrace. Femi smelt fresh and inviting. His scent of sandalwood filled my lungs. I was trapped in his smell."You smell nice." He whispered, bringing his nose down to my neck."You too." I said. We stayed in each oth

I knew I was too excited but I had never been in a place like this before."Well have you ever bowled before?" Femi asked and we stopped in front of a stall and got in. It was a bowling alley."Oh my god!!!" I almost screamed. I had never gone bowling before and never thought I would."So are you ready to play" he asked and grabbed on my waist leading me to the station where he paid and I was given my size in shoes."Are you ready babe?" He asked while grinning at me.I was overwhelmed with excitement. "So ready" I jumped while clapping my hands like a toddler."Let's get this started then. You wanna go first?" He asked. I just k

    Previously...Femi.I cleared my throat and turned to face her very well. "Well uh, I do want to really change for the better. I don't want to be the guy who has fucked half of Lagos and is still on a rampage through out the country. I was seeing how badly I was impacting people's lives and i reflected and thought 'this isn't the legacy I want to leave behind. I don't want to be seen as the community dick. I want to be known for more than that.' And then meeting you just solidified everything for me. Because of you I've literally been to clubs and had girls thrown at me but I would be so repulsed. I wouldn't dare touch a girl. At one point when we were at odds, I tried to be with someone else and it didn't work. You are my medicine. The one person that I want to be better for. And then the marriage part... well.... I have never really thought about it in depth because of the life I lead. Marriage has never really been an option for me. I do

    Previously...Ama."So um when I first met you, I knew who you were instantly. Even before I saw you I knew you were coming thanks to Tunde. Your reputation far preceded you. When I saw that you were trying to charm me, I tried so hard to push you away because I wasn't sure if you really wanted me or I was still just a pawn in your quest for greatness. I tried to find every excuse to push my feelings for you to the back of my mind and out of my heart but the truth is... I can't do it. Every waking moment all I think about is you. I always want to see you, to be near you, to have you call me that French name..." Femi chuckled, "I still think we should take things slow but just know that we are definitely on the same page. Through and through okay?""That's all I really want babe. I am just going to hold out hope that you finally make it official because I truly want this. I want us." He said and kissed my kn

    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.
