.
Martha I need a very cold tea for breakfast and little milk and then two slices of bread. I want it ready before I finish dressing up”“okay sir. Oga please I wanted reminding you about the money I asked you for ”” what money! I don’t know I now pluck money from trees.


Ohh I see, it seems you are getting too comfortable in this house that’s why you have the guts to ask me forirrelevant things, will you get out of my sight now! ” Ade curled his hand into a fist as he watched Martha hurrying back to thekitchen. He hissed and entered into his room.” he is just too mean and I will teach him alesson. I wonder why he hates me this much”. She scooped some milo into the tea cup and put some milk in it and stirred in some water then she smiled to herself “now it is time to make tea”She rushed to her room and brought out a whitish powdered substance in a small white leather and proceeded to the kitchen.” blessing told me a pinch but I will put all of it… Yes! ”She emptied the whole content of the leather and stirred the contents of the cup.” Martha where is my breakfast am running late! ”” am coming sir! “. She rushed to the dining and gave it to Ade who kept on gulping the contents of the cup till it got empty.” why does this tea taste so different todayMartha? ” he began to pack his files and put them into his briefcase. She smiled at least he will have my time now this is the right moment to tell him this.“ehmm oga I am pregnant, we are going tohave a baby” she jumped as she concluded. She was brought back from her joyous journey by Ade’s hysterical laughter.“Martha are you serious! ” Ade asked again laughing harder this time. Martha smiled and joined her boss laughing, she would give her friend a huge amount of money after this.” wow.. That’s good news my dear. Just wait till I get back from work”. He grabbed his briefcase and headed out. Martha jumped and did a small dance and proceeded to her room, she needed to call blessing and tell her the good news.*************************Romoke smiled sadly she replayed the scene she saw at Ade’s office, she had seen the lady he was with, It was that same lady that slapped her. She groaned inwardly, she had really been a fool falling in love with her Boss, Edet had warned her but she didn’t believe him not until she saw it herself. And since then she had triedavoiding him she was happy when his secretary came back from her leave of absence. Romoke had moved back to her office on the first floor and Ade had behaved like nothing really happened not that they were dating anyways. She sighed, the intercom buzzed again“Miss Romoke….

Oga Ade wants to see you in his office now. ”” okay ” her heart beat suddenly increased and she suddenly started feeling hot even inside an air-conditioned room she touched her chest and wondered what he wanted to say to her but whatever it was, she assured herself that she isn’t going to be his next prey.Ade kept on pacing up and down his officehe stopped to look through the window, Martha is pregnant for him? No it can’t be it was only twice and he didn’t spill his seed in her. He loosened his tie, now he had another problem Romoke. He had been avoiding her because he had been to ashamed and too proud to apologize, now what would she think of him? but he didn’trealize he had fallen in love with her until the Dara’s incident, he has really missed Romoke’s gists, advices are company. He heard a knock on his door and quickly went to his seat.“come in ” he has never seen her on trousers but she really looked good in her black office trouser and a cream Blazers and it seemed as if she wore a new hairstyles, ah! Yeah, the black braids reallybrought out her face and made her smooth V-shaped face glow.” you sent for me sir? ” why is she acting all formal.” ah! Yes! Romoke please sit”Romoke tried not to look at his face cause she could feel herself shaking but she wasgoing to stand her ground, she can’t keep loving a man that doesn’t care about her feelings. He even looked quite handsome, his beards were quite shaved and she could see through the shirt he wore how broader his shoulders are, she cleared her throat this is not her first time seeing this guy so why is noticing all these now, she shook her head as if to burst lustful imaginations but they seem to increase, she was thankful when he broke the silence.“ehmm, you see Dara is my ex. I mean ex girlfriend. So whatever happened was just nothing and am sorry it happened”.

It meant something! You cheat! You hurt me! She wanted to say all those but she sat tongue tied and the only thing she kepton saying was” no problem sir ”” Am serious Romoke it means nothing, am really sorry about it” and I love you he wanted to add but he felt it was too early for such.“it doesn’t matter sir it’s not as if we are in a relationship. So don’t feel sorry sir”. Romoke blurted out before she could stop herself, she pinched herself and looked up to meet Ade’s burning gaze, he was not happy why would she utter this statement he thought.“okay, but you didn’t tell me you and Edet are in a relationship… But I hope we still remain friends Romoke? ” she shook her head, was he jealous ohh it was because he saw them that day.” no sir we are not dating, we are just colleagues nothing more ” Ade felt his heart do a somersault atleast she is still single.” okay…. Can I atleast take you to lunch this afternoon please? ” She smiled she was loving all these but she would still make sure she doesn’t fall into his trap as she doesn’t want to be deceived she thought” no problem sir”“it’s not sir.. It’s Ade ” he smiled even though Martha’s discovery still lurked somewhere in his mind he was going to deal with that when he gets home.**************************************************Dara picked up her phone and kept on dialing the number on her screen but she kept on hearing ” the number you are calling is busy”. She threw the phone on her bed in frustration as she kept on pacing round her well furnished room. a smallish fair woman peeked into her room and walked in fully she was Dara’s carbon copy except that she looked older. Mrs Sarah Davis a woman of high standard and respect she owned a thriving secondary school as well as a university. Rumors had it that it was after the death of her husband 28 years ago that she started flourishing but she didn’t seem to care about all those rumors all she cared about is to make her money, attend partiesand also to paint the town red with her sugar boys.

Yeah sugarboys! She sure hasthem plenty both the models, the athletes and even the mechanics, a friend of hers once asked her “Sarah why mechanics of all men?” she would say “because they make a dirty work clean and their machines are strong and well lubricated”. Her only friend is Ade’s mother though they hardly see because of her schedules but they spoke almost all the time on phone.“Dara…. What’s wrong? I was told you haven’t touched your food? ” Dara sat on the bed and began to sob.” why will Ade keep treating me like trash mom? I did what you adviced me to do, I went to his office last week and since thenhe hasn’t even called me neither has he picked my call”.“is that why you are unhappy? Ehnnn Dara? Oya clean your tears”. Dara cleaned her tears. She wondered why guys always dumps her but just take a look at her plumpy mother, most men would prefer been with her mom rather than her. But why? She asked herself and stared at her mother who was busy chatting away on her phone before she met her daughter’s gaze.“why are you staring at me now madam?…So you said Ade doesn’t have your time right? ”” yes mummy ”” good.. So is he seeing anyone? ”” hmm no… well I don’t know but I heard him mention one name ehmm Romoke “. Her mom stared at her like she was still trying to process the name.” Romoke? What kind of local name is that? So you mean your rival is Romoke? I haven’t seen the person but the name sounds local”. She stood up and started towalk out of her daughter’s room“mom… Please I need Ade to look at me at least as his girlfriend ” she concluded as she walked up to her mom.”
