"Wunmi, I don't really believe in coincidences, your new boss is Tayo and your first love is also called Tayo. Maybe the Lord has finally brought him back to you." Lara said.
I shook my head as I chuckled at her last words. "I really don’t know, but I’ll confront him about it, only if he is not mean to me today." I got up from the bed and took my bag. “But I really hope he is the one. You know I said Mr Tayo looks so familiar.”
“You did. They might be the same one though.”
"Okay,” I shrugged. “I'll be on my way to work now, prepare food before I come please. I’ll like that spagetti and stew."
“I’m now your cook, right? It’s not only Spagetti, you’ll see Macaroni.” She hissed playfully. "Abeg bye-bye, Go and meet your boss.”
I laughed and went out of the house.
It was a Thursday morning, the shops were not fully opened yet. I took a public transport to work and got there almost late as a result of the traffic congestion.
"Good morning." I greeted Natasha, the receptionist as I entered. She frowned at me and turned her face back to the computer. I furrowed my brows at her, then I went inside the office, trying to understand what was up with her since yesterday.
I got to Caroline's seat but she wasn't there, I was about to leave to mine when I saw her coming out of Uncle Kayode's office.
"Good morning Wunmi." She greeted me with a hug.
I smiled and responded to the hug."Good morning, how are you?"
"I'm very good, how are you too?" She walked to her seat after we both pulled away from the hug.
"I'm fine, is Uncle in?"
"No." She shook her head, "I went to drop some files on his table, Mr Tayo asked me to put it there."
My eyes widened instantly. "He's around?"
"Yes, but don't worry, you're not late. Everyone came early because of the presentation today." She smiled at my reaction.
"What presentation?"
"Don't worry, Mr Tayo would tell you."
I went into my office and dropped my bag, then I knocked on his door.
"Come in."
I wondered how he saw me then I remembered there's a glass window at the side of the office, he must have seen me coming inside.
"Good morning sir." I said as I closed the door behind me.
"Good morning." He looked up from the paper work he was doing. "Why were you late?"
Holy Shit! What would I say to this? Yeah, tell him the truth.
"I was held up in traffic." I replied him.
He didn’t say a word but his gaze were set on me like he was going to rip me off anytime soon.
I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came, I shook my head and swallowed instead.
Mr Tayo laughed at me, "Can't you just say you aren't late, I won't bite you. I might have been a little scary yesterday but Uncle Kayode caused that."
I frowned. "I'm not scared, I don't just know what to say anymore."
He stood up from his seat, "Oh shut up." he walked to the coffee machine beside him and made some for himself. "Want some?"
"No thank you." I gave a small smile.
“To be honest, I really didn’t want you here.”
Good, he’s admitting his errors.
I stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
“I never wanted to see you here, I wished you never came.”
Now I’m confused, What is he talking about?
“I don’t understand you sir.”
“In summary, I don’t want a secretary, but it’s all good now. I don’t have a choice.”
“Oh.” I mouthed and gave a smile. He ruined my hopes of thinking he was Tayo and he remembers me.
He smiled back and sat on his chair. "Have you heard of the presentation today?"
"Yes, Caroline mentioned it." I answered.
"Well, it has been canceled and moved to next week."
"Okay sir. Do you want me to do anything today?"
"Yes, just...these." he took some files from his table and gave me. "Sort it out and take it to the marketing department."
"Okay sir-"
At least he told me where to take it to.
"And... Never mind. You can go now."
I turned around slowly and went out of the office. I got to my table and started working on the files I was given.
*Time skips*
"Are you going out for lunch already sir?" I asked Mr Tayo.
"Yes, do you want to come with me?"
I smiled and shook my head. "No, I was just asking."
"You can come anyways."
"No sir, I'm still doing some work here. I'll go for lunch when I'm through." I refused.
"I insist, besides you can finish those when we're back." He set his eyes on me again.
I looked at him and my eyes met with his, there was this familiar feeling that came to me and it was unsettling.
"Okay. Fine." I said. I got up and took my bag then went out with him.
As we walked together, it felt like we were once close.
*Could it be that he's the same Tayo* I thought to myself.
We got to the restaurant not too far from the office. We took a sit close to the glass window, we sat and took the menu. We took our orders and waited for the food.
"This is my favorite spot in this restaurant." Mr Tayo said grinning.
"Oh really. I also like sitting close to the windows." I responded.
The waitress brought the food and drinks for us and we ate. "Sorry, my mother taught me table manners but I don't actually follow one except when she's around, that's talking when eating." he laughed.
"I guess I'm not the only one then, my aunt scolds us every
time." I laughed."What about your mum? Mr Tayo asked.
"She and my father died while I was still a child."
I noticed Mr Tayo's face became blank, then he said, "I'm sorry for your loss."
I smiled and said. "It’s fine, It has been years."
We continued eating and talking too. When we finished, he paid for the food and we went back to work. That was the start of something great.
This is in Wunmi’s pov"Good morning sir." I said as Mr Tayo walkedinto the office. I got to the office earlier today
This is in Third person’s povIt’s been more than a month since Wunmi started working at Gamma Technologies, Uncle Kayode’s company. It’s been a week since Wunmi finally admitted to liking Tayo. Everyday, she wishes to see him more often than normal.She dreaded the weekends, which means she won’t get to see Tayo for two days. During one of these weekends, she decided to follow Lara to her family house at Ikoyi.Wunmi and Lara came out of the Uber car they paid for into the big mansion.The Security man at the gate greeted them, “Small madams, welcome o.”They both smiled at the man.“Tochi, how are you?”“I dey o.” The man responded, beaming with smiles. “How School?”“School dey fine.” They answered as they walked into the compound.Wunmi looked up as they walked. "You guys just painted the house?""Yes." L
This is in Wunmi’s pov"Good morning." I said to Natasha as I walked inside the office building. She didn't answer me as usual, then I walked in thinking about why she's like that. I almost wished I didn’t say a word to her, the scowl on her face was scary as hell, almost seem like a bad luck for a new morning."Good morning Wunmi." Caroline greeted me, making me realize I already walked past her without noticing it.I turned and gave her an apologetic smile. "Good morning, Don’t be annoyed.""What were you thinking?""It's about Natasha,” I frowned. “She hasn't been nice ever since I got here, I don't know why?"Caroline laughed. "So you're putting that girl issue in your head, Don't mind her it's her own problem. That's how she is sometimes, I mean most times." She chuckled."I really don’t understand her, anyways I’ll see you at lunch." I shrugged and walked into my office.Mr Tayo w
This is in Wunmi’s pov"You can check the mirror now." Lara said after she was done with the last face makeup. I didn't want to but she forced me to do a makeup simply because it's my first date.I wriggle my tongue at her and collected the mirror from her, I looked into it and saw my reflection."Lara!" My eyes widened. "What have you done to my face?""It's makeup." She answered coolly, as if she never did a thing."Hey! All my face has changed, I don’t look like me." I frowned, still looking in the mirror at myself."Yes, that’s why it is called makeup, what do you expect?” Lara smirked. “You look stunning, I bet Tayo's jaw will drop when he sees you."I shook my head and sighed. "Even this date, it’s like you’re the one who is going with all the preparations you’re making. You forced me to practically dress like a bride.""Ha! The wedding? I won't do that make u
*This is in Wunmi’s pov*It's been more than a month that Tayo and I have been together. I didn't have a problem telling everyone and no one has a problem with us being together except Natasha. Before, she ignores me but now that she acknowledges me, she does some things to just hurt me and when she's in front of Tayo, she behaves like an innocent angel.When I told Uncle Kayode, Caroline and Tunde about Tayo and I."I knew there was something when the both of you first met, again." Uncle Kayode said. “The way you two were both staring at each other was weird for people who just met.”We all laughed and I responded. "There wasn't anything Uncle, he was kind of mad at me on the first day we met, I don’t even know why.""All I know is that I saw that there was something or there would be something between you two someday,and don't tell me there was nothing because I'm older than you all and I can see something you all ca
*This is in Third person’s pov*"I've brought the meat!" Tayo announced as he entered the kitchen."Is that why you're now shouting?" Wunmi said and collected the bag from him."Lara, please wash this meat, I'll slice the vegetables and fry them.""Okay." Lara opened the bag. “This is very much.”"Everything is not for the fried rice, some are for the 'Asun' (Barbecue).” Tayo said."Hello Mister," Lara faced him, frowning. "Don't give me headache here please, take the ones you want to use and go outside to grill them.""Okay ma." Tayo collected the bag from her and took the meat he needed then he went outside.Tayo, Wunmi and Lara were preparing food as Ade was arriving from Port Harcourt that morning."Are we going to take him from the airport or he's coming here from there?" Lara asked."Oh yeah, I didn't even ask Tayo about that." Wunmi peeped through the kitchen window and noticed Tayo
This chapter is in Wunmi's p.o.v Tayo and I just got back from the office and we met all the lights in the house off. "Ade." Tayo called. "Lara?" I walked to the switch and turned on the light. We saw Lara and Ade on the couch, cuddling and asleep under a blanket. I burst into laughter as the scene in front of me is really funny. Tayo joined me later then he put his hand on my lips. "Shush, get water from the fridge." I tiptoed carefully and got the cold water then I gave it to Tayo, we moved closer to the sleeping couple, shifted the blanket and Tayo poured the water on their faces. "Hey!" They yelled and got up immediately. I and Tayo stood there and started laughing at them. "What did you do that for?" Lara glared at the both of us. I collected the cup from Tayo and dropped it on the table. "There are a lot of r
This chapter is in Wunmi's p.o.v I walked into the room with two printed paper, the trio in the room stared at me. Their eyes expecting answers. "Well," I started. "Lara is posted to Lagos while I have to go to Abuja." "Ohh." Lara put her hand on her mouth. "Seriously, I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now." She said. I grinned, "I like Abuja better, it's better than being posted to those further Northern states." Lara nodded her head and stood up to collect the paper from me. "And another news." I looked at their faces. "This isn't for you two, it's for Tayo." "What's it?" Tayo asked. I turned my back and pulled my hair to the front "The tattoo." Tayo laughed and carried me up "You're really crazy. I didn't know you meant it." "Wow." I heard Ade and Lara say. I turned and looked at them "What's wrong?" "So, you two did tattoos writing each other names in it?" A
