Living in the big city of Lagos wouldn't have been easy for Wunmi and her brother if not for the scholarship Wunmi got before getting to the university. Having lost both parents in a car crash leaving Lagos state when she was seven and her brother, Tunde was five. She tried hard to understand and cope with what had happened at such age.
After her final external examination in secondary school, Wunmi entered for a scholarship that takes care of tuition fees and other school expenses in any school in the country. She was able to get the scholarship, the board pays for almost everything involving her education and definitely not the shopping spree she's about to do with Lara, her best friend.
Lara Johnson, Wunmi's best friend from the first year and now to the final year, is a very beautiful, humble and talented girl. She comes from a rich home but stays in and out of the campus like every other middle class student in the university. Lara's family has been Wunmi's second family ever since she met her and she is the same reason why Wunmi is in the Uber car going to the popular Maryland mall.
"Wunmi, hope there's no problem?" Lara asked when she noticed Wunmi was lost in thoughts.
"There's no problem,” Wunmi smiled.
“I'm just really excited for work tomorrow.""Have you told Tunde about it?"
"No, I'll tell him when we're back." Wunmi answered and her friend nodded.
"Okay, what I was telling you before was that Uncle Kayo is at the mall with Lekan, they came to get something because Lekan is going back to school. I told him to wait for us so he'll tell you what to do tomorrow."
Wunmi smiled deeply. "That's good, Thank you so much Lara I'm really grateful."
Lara faced her and held her hand. "It's nothing Wunmi, I’ve asked you to stop thanking me, besides, what are friends for." She dropped Wunmi’s hands and folded her arms. "I'm doing everything for my husband, Tunde."
Wunmi laughed at Lara's last words. "Tunde right? You'll probably be number thirty one on his list of girlfriends."
"He dare not, I'll divorce him immediately." Lara joined Wunmi laughing. They both knew Tunde and his numerous girlfriends.
"Okay oo, as if you’re his main girl.” Wunmi paused. “I don’t think Tunde has a main guy, he reminds me of one of my old friends, Tayo’s brother. The one I told you about, Do you remember?” She asked.
“Yeah, I do remember. But, I’ll say the same thing again, when he finds the right woman for him, he wouldn’t need to look at other girls.”
“I agree.”
The car stopped as we discussed. "Are we there already?" Lara asked furrowing her brows as she looked around.
"No ma, it's the traffic and right now I'm stuck here, I can't turn to pass somewhere else.”The driver replied.
“But this will soon be clear and we're almost there." He added."Lagos Traffic! We have entered again." Lara shook her head.
"It's now a normal thing, you should be used to it." Wunmi said.
Not long after, they got to the parking lot of the mall, paid the driver and came out of the car.
"Call Uncle Kayode to know where he is." Wunmi told Lara.
"Yes, I will right away." She took out her phone and dialed his number.
"Uncle, where are you... We're outside... Okay, we'll wait." She spoke to her uncle with the phone and ended the call when she was done.
"He said we should wait for him here, he doesn't want us to get lost finding him inside this big space." Lara laughed.
Wunmi smiled and looked at the direction of the first mall’s door, she saw Uncle Kayode and Lekan coming out through the door.
"There they are." She pointed at the direction.
"Uncle Kayo!" Lara ran to hug her Uncle who smiled happily at seeing his niece.
Wunmi walked closer and greeted him, then she said hi to Lekan, Uncle Kayode’s son.
"Wunmi, why are you acting like a stranger?
Won't you hug Uncle?" Uncle Kayode questioned after the hug with Lara ended."Ema Binu Simi." (Don't be angry at me) Wunmi said in Yoruba language and hugged him.
"What about me, sweetheart." Lekan said after she pulled away from his father.
Wunmi faced and cocked an eyebrow at him. "What do you want?"
"Hug me too."
"Hug?" She faced Lara and said jokingly to her."See his mouth like hug." They both laughed at him.
"So, you both are laughing at me, right?"
"Well, you asked for it." Uncle Kayode shrugged.
"Yay!" The girls cheered and wriggled their tongues at Lekan.
"Daddy, you see them. It was because you supported them when you should have ordered Wunmi to hug me." He said which made the girls chuckle in amusement.
"You know they are girls, let them be."
Then Uncle Kayode faced the girls. "Well-done you two, let him catch you later. Anyways, concerning the job. Tayo, who is also a friend of Lekan here, is a very stubborn boy just like this young man here.” Uncle Kayode said.“He’s my friend, what do you expect?”
“He doesn't want a secretary but I have to get him one, he's actually over working himself at such young age. So till the time you'll graduate, you'll be his secretary simply because of Tunde's school fees. So, if you’d still like to work for me after you’ve paid his fees, that would be up to you."
"Yes, Thank you so much Uncle." Wunmi smiled.
"Okay, you'll meet Caroline at the office tomorrow, you'll stay with her while she tells you how we do things till I come, I'll take you to Tayo personally." He added.
"Okay sir." Wunmi nodded.
"Anyways, we'll leave now. Doctor Lekan needs to leave tomorrow and we haven't packed yet."
"Okay Uncle, Bye. Thanks a lot sir." Lara said. "Bye Lekan." She added.
"Later dear." Then he looked at Wunmi, "Won't you say bye to me."
Lekan smirked at her.Wunmi face
palmed herself."Okay Bye." She waved her hand at him. Uncle Kayode walked to the car. "Lekan let's go.""Bye Sweetheart, I love you, I'll see you when I come home again." Lekan said and got to the driver seat of the car, he blew a kiss to Wunmi and started the car.
"Let's go." Wunmi said to Lara, ignoring Lekan’s words.
"My cuz really got it hard for you?"
Lara said, her statement sounding like a question.“You know that’s not true."
"What makes you think so?" Lara said as they walked into the mall.
"Lekan jokes a lot and I’m not really interested in playing around with a guy." Wunmi responded.
"But what about Tayo? I won't lie to you, he's one of the hottest guy I've ever met and you might actually get the hot for him." Lara said.
"I don’t think so, I don’t fall for guys like that."
This is in Wunmi’s pov"Here's your new secretary, Miss Wunmi Adebayo.” Uncle Kayode said to my supposed new boss, then he faced me.

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
