Dolah's POV My eyes widened in horror as my boss's words reached my ears. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but the fact that he only hired men in his company made it hard to deny. Was it possible that he was gay? Or was he just messing with me? He was undeniably handsome, rich, and charming - the kind of man that every woman would swoon over. Except for me, of course. So why would he choose to be gay? I looked at him, trying to decipher his expression, but he looked deadly serious. I knew then that he wasn't lying. But I still needed to confirm what I had heard."Sir, are you really gay?" I asked, my voice trembling with disbelief. He smirked at me, and I felt a wave of squeamishness wash over me. "I mean, what a coincidence. I never expected my boss to be just like me." I forced a chuckle, but it sounded hollow and insincere. I tapped my fingers nervously on the table, wondering what other secrets my boss was hiding.A smirk extended across his lips, his eyes on me, and for a s
Dolah's POVI glared at my boss. I wanted to lash out at him, but I ended up swallowing my words. He might fire me without a second thought. But I wasn't going to eat while my brother was lying in the hospital bed without eating anything. I didn't have any appetite, really."Sir, please don't force me to eat. Rather, give me more work so I can make more money," I said, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Food is the least of my problems right now, so please eat your food and let me do my work.""How on earth will you work without eating?" he asked. "Where on earth will you get energy from if you stay hungry the whole day? I want my work to be fit.""Don't worry, Sir. I'm very fit. Don't waste your time on me and start eating."Without a word, he pushed a plate of food in front of me with a stern look on his face. "Eat, or else you are fired," he said. I quickly took the plate of food and started stuffing it in my mouth. I kept on swallowing food without chewing so I ended up chokin
Dolah's POV After preparing for work, I left my house feeling upset about the large sum of money my boss accidentally sent to my account. I couldn't believe such a mistake had been made, especially when I was in desperate need of money. Feeling frustrated, I walked towards a taxi that had pulled up on the side road. Opening the door, I got inside and the driver started the car. Although not exactly friends, the driver and I were familiar with each other. My anger still simmering, we drove for a few minutes until we reached the TZ company. After paying for the ride, I stood in front of the imposing building and let out a sigh. Stepping inside, I noticed that everyone was engrossed in their tasks, oblivious to my arrival. One aspect I appreciated about this company was the absence of drama and gossip, as there were no women to create such distractions. It was always quiet and focused. Making my way to the elevator, I entered and patiently waited as it carried me to my
Dolah's POV A month has passed and I have nothing to complain about. My brother is out of the hospital and recovering well. I'm grateful to whoever paid his hospital bills. They saved my brother and brought him back to me and I'm so happy they didn't ask for anything in return. My work is going great too. My boss treats me nicely because I'm a man, but I wonder if things would be different if I were a woman. The only thing on my mind is finding a good school for my brother and making a budget for his education."Hey Don, you seem lost in thought. You need to finish that report before we leave," Mr. Tarzan's voice snapped me out of my daze. I had forgotten that I was still in the office and my boss was waiting for me. It was already 7 pm and I was sure it was dark outside."It's okay sir, I'll finish the report and then head home," I replied. My boss had a habit of dropping me off at home, which was a kind gesture, but I was also afraid that my secret would be exposed
"Dolah, what are you going to do about arranging the money for your brother's surgery?" my friend Pinny asked. "The doctor made it very clear that next year the surgery must be done at any cost."I swallowed hard, I could feel a painful tightness in my throat. My brother was everything I had in this whole world and I did not even know what to do, how to do it, or who I could ask for help. Taking a deep breath, I said to my friend, "I will try to look for a job that can pay me well. I still have a whole year in my hand to make a plan. I will not let anything happen to my brother.""Well, I know of a company that can pay you well," Pinny said. "But only males are allowed to work in that company. Maybe you could try going there."My eyes narrowed in confusion. "How is that possible?" I asked Pinny in disbelief. "What kind of a rule is that? I cannot believe that someone could put such a rule in the company." Pinny raised her eyebrows, giving me a glassy stare. I could see that her body
My face was burning red when I left the TZ company. My pulse was racing, my heart pounding in anger. How dare he insults me like that? I didn't go there with a marriage proposal, but I wanted to work in his company. I've never met such a disgusting person in my whole life, and I was definitely going to make him pay for what he did to me. I was going to do anything in my power to work in that company and see if a woman could survive working there.I decided to visit my brother at the hospital. Talking to him helped me calm down a lot. I stopped a taxi, got inside, and the driver drove off. The driver stopped the car in front of the hospital. I exited the taxi after paying for the ride. I entered the hospital and signed my name in, at the receptionist's desk before heading to my brother's ward. When I arrived, I found him sitting on the bed, looking pale and thin. My heart aches every time I see him in this state, and my hatred for my father increases. It was all because of him that my
The taxi stopped in front of Pinny's apartment. After paying for the ride, I went inside. Getting into the elevator, it took me straight to her room. When I reached there, I rang the doorbell. In no time, Pinny opened the door. When her eyes fell on me, she grabbed my hand, pulled me inside, and closed the door. I knew she was going to behave this way. She was too much when it comes to exaggerating things."How did the interview go? Did they hire you? You know I've been feeling anxious since you left. Now tell me, how was it?" Pinny said without even catching a single breath.I sighed as I forced my feet to walk to the couch and sat down. With a frown, Pinny followed me and sat beside me."They didn't hire you?" she asked, and I nodded my head. Finding jobs that pay well in City D was very hard, especially for those who only have a Matric without further studies. TZ Operation was the only company that accepted people with Matric only, but unfortunately, they only accepted men and not
I narrowed my eyes, my expression pinched. My body temperature kicked off soaring. My thoughts berated me, should I just let my friend ruin his life because of those petty girls? No, I would be selfish if I did that. So, I decided to bring him back to reality. "Daze, are you going to order something or will you keep on staring at them??" Daze cocked his head and then shook it. He lifted one brow before he said, "Dude if you want to die alone without having a girlfriend or wife, suit yourself. But don't try to stop me because I know when a woman is a gold digger or not, and I can tell that these two ladies are decent."I snorted, my muscles stiff. "If you think like that, then suit yourself too. But you must think carefully before you find a girl you want to marry because looks can deceive you too sometimes. Just be careful. It's not that I'm jealous of you or something, but I'm just showing my concern, that's all."Daze let out a low sigh. He cleared his throat as if there was a pain
