DREAM REVEAL

"Bikini in Winter?”his voice bellowed.

 "Emmm sir it's not snowing in Nigeria”.

 "How many Nigerians wear bikinis this season then” 

Dan was speechless. 

"Great design but poor execution,I can manage". 

"Thanks boss".

 I pinched him, feeling proud of him and happy for him. Next one was Kamsy's slide, the latest bride.

"What's this Mrs Luke,did you upload this from G****e?"

 "I worked on it Prince, maybe it's too perfect,you think I got it from the internet”.

 She replied rather sarcastically with an attitude.

 "First don't ever call me by my name, Because I lend your hubby money for his luxurious wedding,isn't a go- thing to call me by my name". 

Wow that was an eye opener, I didn’t know if I was the only one who heard that, Luke borrowed it for his wedding?

 Yes I forgot, I was the one bringing food to the table while I was dating him. 

 Daniel heard that too I guessed, because he glance at me and smirked.

 "Sorry sir".

 Kamsy replied embarrassed,others started muttering about the reveal.

 It was so embarrassing. I can't believe I felt sorry for her.    

What kind of man says that to his friend’s wife in public or else he is no friend of Luke. 

  "Your work is obviously stolen,I think I have seen it before, because of Luke,I will Ignore".

 Gosh he is so blunt and speaks like he is kind of a Demigod , he keeps no secret or gives a little respect.

 "Thanks sir". 

Kamsy replied with no atom of emotion on her cold face, it must be hard for her. 

Next was mine, I was so lost with Kamsys mischief,I totally forgot about my one chance of retaining my job. 

I quickly closed my eyes nervously.

  "Who is this? Obsessed with wedding gowns?"

  "It's mine sir".

 "Why a wedding gown?"

 "It's almost Easter sir,it's wedding season". 

 "So Easter is now called the wedding season?" I chuckled nervously.

 "That's Nigeria for you sir but mostly Christmas but that was months ago”. 

He said nothing, not a single word,he just stare at the design then back to me then to my design. I held my breath nervously. 

  "Jennifer".

 All eyes turned towards her as soon as the boss called her name. 

"Look at the person you mocked and told me to get rid of. She is hella talented! I mean this design is world classic".

 I don't know if I am hearing things, he just scolds me and now sings praises to me in front of everyone,so opposite of our former boss”.

 "Emm sir, how are you sure she designed that?”

Jennifer stammered lacking words.

 "Because I'm not as stupid as you!"

 Wow that hurts, looks like she gave him expired breast milk this time, or maybe this boss doesn't like breast milk, tried not to laugh.

 "She has zero sense of fashion,"Jennifer snapped back,losing it.

 "She's a thousand times better than you". That clap back was thrilling, everyone in the room felt it including Kamsy. 

 "I doubt,I don't do designs if not...I.”. Sir Prince cuts her out.

 "Next time you come to my office to expose your rotten body ,I will make sure I sue for sexual harassment,do you ever think i can mingle with someone like you,you are not half of the Lowest class of women ,I deal with. 

It’s an insult to everything I stand for,know your class miss,if you see your regular country big boy you can go ahead". 

 Wow, our almighty classic Jennifer was treated like a local fowl. 

This boss is very difficult,I hope we don't have a problem because there’s no way I can't beat this demo god. He continued as no other voice was heard, not even a pin drop. 

 "I think this is my best design"he said as he swiped over others then back to mine. We watched on the big screen projection.

 "What's your name again?"

 "Valerie sir".

 “This is the worst design I have ever seen but sadly the best from this miserable team,if you don't work harder,you won't be able to make it in the fashion world". 

 "I promise I will work harder next time" I replied excitedly.

 "Mr Daniel,you too". 

 "Yes boss," Daniel replied.

 "Good, Valerie, the last three designs are going home, tomorrow get me a better design,than this,you have a whole night to think,and use your super powers, goodluck". 

 Finally he dismissed each of us. 

 "Thanks sir"we all chorused and left the conference room. 

 My head was swollen and heavy with pride. 

  I don't know about Daniel but he seems happy too. 

We both got complimented by the almighty boss,wow what a day I can sleep happy finally. I went back to my seat beaming in joy.

The way he defended me against Jennifer and complimented me in front of everyone, won't stop ringing in my head. 

I feel so important for the first time in my life but I wonder how I am going to survive this Mr perfectionist of a boss.

 **** 

Gunshots were fired,I fell to the ground covering my ears and then I saw a little girl crying,she looked white beside her was a corpse,I recognized it as our new boss in a pool of blood, opposite direction was a man holding the pistol that shot him,he removed his masked,I was so scared. I screamed out loudly. 

 I jumped on my bed ,then realized that it's a dream, not just a dream,it's one of my revelations that usually comes to reality within the next 24 hrs. 

 I needed to do something,I quickly took my phone,I felt my heart pounding nervously. I dialed Daniel's number,but it wasn’t going through. 

 "How am I supposed to tell the boss this ,he will never listen!!"I snapped out loud,disturbed. 

 I put the phone down and quickly rushed to take my bath. 

After I dressed for work and went to the company, it looked the same as the dream scene,the cars were parked the same way .

 I quickly went to his secretary.

 "I need to see the boss immediately, it's urgent". 

 "I am sorry but he is not meeting with the employees this morning,also he is scheduled to get his sister from the airport,he will be leaving in a few minutes time".

“His sister?" I had a flashback,about the girl crying beside the corpse. 

 “Is his sister a white girl?”.

 I asked myself then of course he is biracial which makes it 50 per possible.

  "Look it's very important please,let me get in, it's a matter of life and death". 

 I said to the secretary. 

 "I am sorry what?" She replied surprised.
