It was monday morning. I woke up very early as usual to prepare breakfast, had my bath and prepared for work. As my manager wasn’t around, I took enough time to do some tidings and was eventually late to work as a result.
I got to work by 8:30am, I met the factory workers and the packaging boys at the production room. I waved at them as I passed by with my folder in my hand and one of the boys said “oga, e be like say you get visitor oooo”. “Really?, who is the person? And where is he?” I replied the boy, and he said “oga, na lady ooo, she don sit down for your table”. I replied “ok, thank you. I wasn’t sure who the visitor was until I walked to the table and met my lovely lolade sitted at the visitors seat infront of my table.
LOLADE: **smiled*** good morning sir!
ME: **smiled too** my wife, good morning.
LOLADE: ha sir!. Your wife kee?, you want to put me into trouble sir
ME:*** pats her shoulder as I walked down to my seat*** which trouble dear?
LOLADE: you know I’m just new here sir “e ma je ki won so mi lenu oooo” I don’t want to be implicated.
ME: you are funny dear.
LOLADE: **smiled**
ME: yes!!!, Manager called me this morning that he won’t be around today and tomorrow, so he told me to tell you that you should wait till wednesday when he would arrive so that you can obtain your guarantor and referee’s form and also process your ID card.
LOLADE: ok sir.
ME: alrite, I will give you a 60leaves note now. And I will attach you to the driver whom you will be working with. You are expected to make a record of all daily sales inside the note and indicate the dates everyday. The note will contain the number of packs loaded before leaving every morning, number of sales, credit purchase from customers, and number of packs returned in the evening if you couldn’t sell all.
LOLADE: ** stared at me in silence***
ME: ***raised up my head and noticed her*** ololade, what is the problem?, why are you silent?
LOLADE: sir!, I don’t understand any of your explanations, I don’t know how to go about it.
ME: haaaa!!!, so if my manager was to be the one telling you all these, you would tell him that you have no idea?, and you would in return implicated me for telling him that you had pure water sales experience?.
LOLADE: **faced down and sad*** I’m sorry sir.
ME: **stood up from my seat and walked to meet her and placed my hand on her back*** its ok my dear, you don’t have to be sad. I understand that you don’t have any experience, that’s why I gave you the cv over the weekend to study it through.
LOLADE: I did sir,
ME: ok dear, its ok, my manager’s absence is really a blessing in disguise. I will seize the opportunity of his two days Absence to train you on so many things, so that you won’t Bleep up and disappoint me when he returns
LOLADE: ok sir.
ME: it means you will have to wait for few minutes after closing so that I can have chance to put you through the steps and procedures.
LOLADE: ok sir.
I drew a table chart inside the note and explain few things to her about it. I told her to always report to me at the end of the day for assessment and accounting. She left and I was looking at her swinging ass through her small pant skirt. I attached her to the new driver, I told one of the other sales rep to go with them so as to introduce them to the new market and they drove off after packing packs of water into the new van.
“Chaii, onihaxy, you get sense ooo”
“See as you tell her to wait after closing and she gree”.
After their departure. I told all the factory boys to go home at exactly 5pm to rest for the day instead of the regular 6pm. They were so happy and joyous. I told the other sales reps that they should all return before 5pm so as to attend to them on time because I must leave by 5pm. They were also happy because they would be leaving an hour earlier.
It was 5pm in the evening, the boys had closed for the day as instructed earlier, I went through the records of the other 4 sales representatives and collect money from them and I was through by 5:20pm and they left. At 5:45pm, lolade arrived with the new driver and the person I sent to assist them. I dismissed the driver and the other lady immediately and I told lolade to wait behind for me to go through her sales records.
When I noticed that others had left, I took the spare key of my manager’s office and I told lolade to come inside with me so that I can go through a sales for the day and also train her on what she needs to know, she nodded and smiled at me as we both walked inside the office and I locked the door from inside.
LOLADE: ** looked around the office**I guess this is the manager’s office?.
ME: not really, we both use the office. But since he used to have visitors and he needed privacy most times, so we decided to have another table and chairs outside. So I use the outside table most times when he needs privacy.
LOLADE:** still looking around***how come you still share office when you have your own table outside?
ME: because I’m his P.A, and also the secretary/Accountant of the company at the same time.
LOLADE: waoooh, so you are handling 3 positions at a time, that is very nice sir, it means your take home must be very huge niyen ooooo **smiles**
ME: “smiled too” ***oloshi, see as this girl dey reason my salary sha, na another maga venture this one go be oooooo***, ” if you say so dear.”
LOLADE: **smiled and nodded** that’s nice
ME: bring your chair closer to me here so that we can start the tutorials and seminar
LOLADE: **smiled as she lifted the chair and moved it to my side** yes sir.
ME: so where is the notebook I gave you?
LOLADE: here is it sir.
I spent the first 15 minutes going through the sales book, vetting and correcting some errors, I spent another 30 minutes explaining things about our company and how to handle things to lolade, and how she would defend her experiences when manager arrives. I was touching her hand, pushing myself on her and staring at her at intervals. When we were through with the seminar, I turned my chair and faced her,stared at her, held her hand and let out a smile.
ME: ololade mi, please save me, I’m dieing please.
LOLADE: sir?, dieing kee?! How?
ME: its about you. I have been having sleepless night since the day I met you. I hardly spend 10 minutes without thinking of you my love, you have fill my heart with lots of love and I’m fully drowned into the pool of your love.
LOLADE: hmmmm, men!!!!, they can make mouth and lie ehhnnn!!!
ME: **held her second hand and moved closer*** ololade mi. Believe me my dear, I’m not lieing. Infact, I have never fallen in love like this before. Your love is making me going insane. Please don’t let me run mad please.
LOLADE: ok, I heard you. So how do I help you?.
ME: please, just give me a yes, give me a space in your heart, let me be your man, and I promised to love you for the rest of my life, I so love you, you are the air I breath, you are my vision…… ”Campaigning continues”
LOLADE: ** quiet for a while***
ME: my love, please talk, I’m scared by your silence
LOLADE: hope you won’t disappoint me?
ME: I swear I won’t, lolade, in the valley of decision, you will forever remain my only choice. ………….”Continued to campaign”
LOLADE: **silent again for a while*** ok, I heard you.
ME: **smiled** is that a yes?.
LOLADE: ** shyness smile** something like that.
I was so happy on what I just heard from lolade.
“Chai onihaxy, you don catch new fish”.
Lolade looked at her watch and it was past 7pm. She stood up and told me she would be leaving. I stood up also, pushed the chairs to one side and held her hand as I pulled her back towards me. We stared at each other’s eyeball and our heads were moving closer again till our lips found each other and we kissed passionately. No resistance again and the kiss was super romantic than the previous one.
Like play like play, we bleeped for 15mins without condom, I went to the other side of the office to put on the fan, and before I returned, lolade was looking downwards and appeared sobber.
ME: ***drew close to her and cuddled her*** my dear, why are you sad?
LOLADE: **silent***
ME: **scared**** my dear, please look at my face, look into my eyes lolade
LOLADE: **still silent***
ME: **abi I don contact disease ni?*** my love, I don’t like this mood, please talk to me.
LOLADE: ***speaking silently** its about you.
ME: **scared** me?
LOLADE: yes.
ME: chai!!!!, temi bami.
LOLADE: why did you do this to me on first relationship date ***sobbing***
ME: ***see oloshi, so you no know say na day 1 when you open laps and you dey moan**** I’m so sorry about that my dear. I love you so much and the strong feelings I have for you couldn’t let me resist you.
LOLADE: now that you have seen what you are looking for in me, your love for me will reduce abi?
ME: not at all dear, it just increased, I now love you more than I have ever do **yinmu**
LOLADE: Are you sure?
ME: came closer and held her in my arms** yes my love. I’m very sure.
LOLADE: did you release inside me?
ME: **shocked*** no I didn’t . Why did you ask?
LOLADE: because I don’t want to get pregnant
ME: **still scared but didn’t show it** lol, you aren’t young for it now. 18 and above is regarded as an adult in nigeria.
LOLADE: *smiled a little** sir, my family will disown me. Is it me that couldn’t afford common jamb form that should get pregnant?.
ME: just kidding anyways.
LOLADE: better
ME: hmmmmmmmm, maybe you should take drugs to be on the safer side
LOLADE: **raised eyebrow** what drug?
ME: ** stammering*** ehmmmmm, something like postinor
LOLADE: lailai, over my dead body, I’m not taking any drugs
ME: “chaiiii, Mogbe!!!!” Why dear?
LOLADE: sebi you said you didn’t release inside me?
ME: yes dear
LOLADE: so I don’t need any drugs that would harm me
ME: harm you as how?
LOLADE: I heard it used to have a side effect and may also affect the womb from getting pregnant in the future
ME: all those stories are pure lies.
LOLADE: so you have been prescribing postinors for the ladies you slept with?
ME: no, you are the first girl in my life that I will say it to.
LOLADE: how come you knew its name and how come you knew it has no side effect?
ME: remember I told you I studied chemistry at school? So I’m automatically a chemist. Drugs and there effects was part of the courses I studied at undergraduate level.
LOLADE: hmmmmmm, chemist or no chemist, I’m not taking any drugs. Simple.
Me: its ok then.
LOLADE: please I need to go home now, its getting dark and my family would be angry.
ME: alright. But I’m somehow thirsty, I want to get a bottle of soft drink outside, do you care for one too?
LOLADE: no problem, but be fast please.
ME: **hmmmm, this girl don remove “sir” from my name, I don sell my respect oooo*** ok, I would be back.
As I was walking out of the compound, several thoughts were running through my mind.
” Chaii onihaxy!!!, u don impregnate someone”
” Why did I Bleep in the first place without condom sef?”
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have bleeped ooo”
” This girl isn’t ready to take any drugs now, what do I do oooooo?”
