Femi.
I always just took them to fancy dinners and bought them flowers. I took some of them shopping but just to smaller stores with more generic items like mnm luxury and beunique. I only came to Polo Avenue to buy my own stuff, that was why Gerald was so shocked.
"Wow, you've never done this before man." He said.
"I know. I feel really strongly for her and I know this would put a smile on her face." I said smiling. The thought of Ama's reaction to these gifts put a big smile on my face.
"Wow. I never thought I'd see you like this. It's good that she's changing you for the better. Now it remains those delinquent brothers of yours." He said.
I nodded "their time will come Gerald."
"Anyways I do not have Fendi in the store now. You do know that this is impromptu. If you had called a week ago ah would have had it sourced for you.

Previously...Femi."Hmm.. HR probably knows why they didn't do that instead." Shawn said and it looked pitiable to me how his company was ran by everyone but him."You really need to restructure this company. I can't believe this." I said."What is she going to do now Shawn? She lives in Lekki phase one. The rent is ridiculous. She has bills and a family to take care of. The job market is hideous right now. What is she going to do?" I said. I knew I could take care of her but she had this dream of maintaining her independence. Relying on me would eat her alive."It's fine. I've settled that. I gave her 10k to manage till she gets a new job. That should sustain her for a while." He said.I was amused "10k what Shawn?" I asked. If it was Naira then I was definitely going to punch his punk ass face.

Previously...Ama."Wow now I have a nickname and I'm no longer Femi with the scorn on your face." He said and I laughed out loud."Oh my God I'm being so loud today." I said.He grinned "you can burst my ears open, I don't care."I opened the next box and there I found a smaller sized Chanel bag but then I knew small Chanel bags were really expensive."Oh my God" I said and started to tear up."Ama don't cry please babe" he said, putting his hand on my thigh and rubbed it affectionately. This act made me shed more tears. The bag was too expensive and was the most pricey thing that anyone had every given me."This is the most expensive thing that anyone has ever given me." I sobbed out. I was so overwhelmed."You deserve everything and more." Femi s

Previously....Femi"Yeah I did. It's a slap on the face... I really loved working in general. It's really disappointing because I was going to get promoted soon. Maybe that's why they didn't give me a warning before firing me. In my life I've always had to put in all the work that I could because I didn't want to be a failure. I did not want to be looked at by my family and extended family as an underachiever. I want to have all my dreams come to fruition Fems..." she said and started sobbing."Don't cry.." I said affectionately and brought out a handkerchief for her to wipe her eyes. "Here" I have it to her."Thanks" she sobbed out as I pulled her closer to me so that her head was on my chest. "It's just... I feel like I've hit rock bottom. I feel like I have to start from scratch and I've wasted my time. I am always one person who plans for the future. I always put my bills before an

Previously....Femi.She shrugged "A bucket list has a time frame and you only make them when you are sure that you could do everything within that timeframe. For example, uhhh things I will do before I turn 25. I can't make a list for traveling because I don't even have the resources to travel to Togo or Kenya talk more of other countries in other continents.""I understand but here's what you should do. Give a bigger time frame and actively manifest it. I know it's quite hard but uh just do it." I said. She shrugged again. She seemed like she was not convinced by my words."Okay here's what we'll do, I'm giving you an assignment.." I said and she burst out laughing."Femi please leave me alone, don't make me burn this food" she said through her laughter.I chuckled "what's so funny babe?.""Ha, who are you giving assignment?" She said a

Previously...Femi"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

Previously….Femi."What the actual fuck?" I exclaimed. Tunde covered his eyes immediately after what we saw "My eyes, my eyesss" he screamed trying to mimic Phoebe from the sitcom Friends.There Kola was hovering over Radike who was sprawled out on his table. 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

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.
