Chapter Five

Day Two Wednesday

Early in the morning, Bisola is enjoying her morning sleep, she is in a sweet dream that she wish for it not to end, in fact she wish to live in the dream forever. Suddenly Tolani barge into the room, she begins to shake her friend vigorously.

“Bisola come on. You can’t be late today.” She said

Bisola also wakes up from her slumber. “Oh! Thank you for waking me up friend.”

Quickly Bisola rush into the bathroom, she had a nice warm bath, she then apply pomade on her body, then she put on a Green Jacket over a Black plaited skirt, she also apply a little powder on her face, a bit of lip gloss on her lips, finally she styles her long hair into a bond, finally she look at herself in the mirror and she look very perfect.

Bisola had a light meal of Pap and Milk together with her friend, both of them leave the house at the same time. Bisola enters a taxi and head directly to U.I, few minute later, she make it to the office block of Arinola's Group of Company, she check her wristwatch, the time reads 7:30am.

“Just in time.” Bisola said to herself.

She proceed into the compound that house the office block, she proceed into the office that belongs to Arinola’s Group of Company. Bisola sees few people on their desk, they are all busy, she feels lost and don’t know where to go, she expects other people like her to be here for the interview, but with the look of things, she is the only one who probably comes for an interview.

Bisola wants to asks where to go, then a woman who happen to be in her late forties approach her with a smiling face.

“You must be Bisola Badmus right.” The Woman said.

Bisola puff out air from her lungs. “Oh! I am Bisola Badmus.”

“I am Victoria, Madam Arinola Secretary, I sent you the message yesterday night.” The woman named Victoria said, she turns and walks away. “Follow me into my office. “ she said, all through her expression still reveal smiles.

“Oh! About that.” Bisola said and follows after Victoria. “I expects to see lot of job seeker just like me here.”

Victoria smiles the more. “You expect competition already, no wonder Madam Arinola recommend you.”

Bisola didn’t hear the last part of Victoria words very well, still she is on Victoria heels. Finally they enter into a small cubicle, Victoria sits first, she urge Bisola to sit down and she also sits down. Victoria gives Bisola a form to fill, she also fill the form quick and easy, finally Victoria place a document on the table opposite Bisola.

“Do take your time and read the contract, if it is okay with you. Then you can append your signature here.” Victoria said and point to the last part of the document.

Bisola is taken aback, but she said nothing to question Victoria, she opens the document and begins to read the terms and condition of the company, her pay and time of payment is also stated in that document. It feel so unreal to her, because the terms and condition makes the job easier for her to cope with. Finally she pick her pen once again and append her signature.

Victoria smiles and exchange handshake with Bisola. “Welcome to Arinola’s Group of Company, your Computer will be released to you in about an hour, I do hope you enjoy your stay here with us.”

Bisola have an awkward smile on her. “That was quick and too easy.”

“That is because you have come highly recommended by Madam Arinola herself.” Victoria said, she turns to puts the document in the shelf.

Bisola is shock, she frowns. “I haven’t meet Madam Arinola before in my life.”

Victoria stops abruptly. She clearly is as shock as Bisola. “Well you will know her very soon.”

“I do hope so too.” Bisola said. She finally stands up and was lead to her office.

Twenty minute later, Bisola is at her new office, one way or the other, she have the job at Arinola’s Group without any difficulty on her way, for a moment Bisola think that her mother Spirit is paving way for her. But then Bisola knows the truth, her Mother is gone and her Spirit is also gone, thus no way she can receive favour from her Mother, the only person responsible is none other than God himself.

Bisola rest back on her chair, her eyes looks to the any, her soul begins to praise the name of God, she wants to inform her Friend and Mrs Kike about her success, but then the land phone opposite her on the table rings out. 

Bisola picks up. “Hello.”

“Hi Miss Bisola this is Victoria, is there anything you are doing right now?” the voice from the end of the phone said.

“No. I am as free as a bird.” Bisola replies, she breath out a hot air from her chest.

“Then, Madam Arinola will like to see you.” Victoria said again.

“Okay I am on my way.”  Bisola said and hand up.

Bisola heaves out, she expects this to happen anytime soon, she stands up and leave her workstation, and head towards the stairs, she climb the stairs to the next floor and comes face to face with Victoria smiling face. Bisola begins to wonder if Victoria ever have any trouble, because she is always smiling, she stops opposite Victoria and also smiles back at the woman.

“Well here I am now.” Bisola said.

“You can sit down there for another minute, Madam Arinola is attending to a visitor.” Victoria said and point to a row of bench.

Bisola nod her head and sit down, many thought are running in her head, she didn’t want her new boss to be disappointed in her, thus she already prepared her mind for any question that might be thrown at her, that same moment he quickly text her friend and Mrs Kike about her success in the in the interview.

About the minute later, Victoria urge her to go in. Bisola nod her head and she stands at the door, she sign out and finally open the door, but nothing prepared Bisola for the mental trauma that she experience next, never in her wildest imagination did she expect to comes across him again.

Bisola gasp out when she enters into the room, sitting ahead of him is Handsome stranger, the one man whom she like and hate at the same time, the one man who makes her vulnerable, the one man who cause her heart racing every time he is near her.
