Chapter 24: Lunch date.
Omotayo
I arrived at work earlier than usual this morning because of how desperate I was to get back to my normal life. I haven't heard from Gabriel since the last time we spoke but I didn't call him first to avoid getting him in more trouble just in case he had already gotten into any trouble. I just hope that he was smart enough to avoid getting caught and was only taking his time before sending the video.
I still hadn't spoken to Bayo about Gabriel's involvement or anything in regards to chief Onuh but we had already agreed to meet at his office next week and hopefully by then, Gabriel would have sent the video and it would be easier to explain everything to Bayo and his associates.
"Good morning Miss." Maria, my secretary greets as soon as she walks into my office holding a bunch of files with her.
"Good Morning Maria. Are those files for me?" I ask almost immediately, wonderi

Adebayo"Bro, are you sure you actually want to do this?" Bunmi asks for billionth time today and if he dares to ask me one more time, I might end up punching his teeth out."Bunmi, will you stop pestering me already? What exactly is your problem?" I ask irritatedly, feeling the itch to give him a tight slap."You already know what my biggest problem is bro. Listen carefully to me, I know you like this girl and I swear I have nothing against how you feel about her and I also don't have anything against her but what I don't want you to do is get involve with a woman that also has chief Onuh hovering over her. You already have enough beef with that man and fighting over a woman with your rival is definitely the straw that breaks that camel's back and at the end of the day, you might end up getting hurt." He blurts out worriedly and I sigh. "You should also listen to me Bunmi. I already told

Omotayo "You want me to be your girlfriend?" I ask stupidly, wondering why I was still so surprised to hear him ask that. The truth is, part of me already expected this to happen but there's definitely a difference between daydreaming about it and finally hearing it yourself from the lips you've been dying to hear it from."Yes, I do but there's absolutely no pressure here Tayo. If you're not ready to give me an answer, I'll wait." He assured and I smiled."Then you won't mind if I give you an answer by the end of night?" I ask."I definitely won't mind just don't break my poor heart." He says with a sad pout, earning a light smack on his arm."We'll see about that. By the way, I have something I want to tell you but I don't know if this is the right time to bring it up but still I'm still going to tell you anyways cause I think you deserve to hear it from me to avoid any kind of misunde

Omotayo "Omg! I can't believe it's finally happening. Tayo finally has as a boyfriend o!!" Ini and Angela hollered excitedly and if I wasn't in the comfort of my home, I would have definitely wished for the ground to swallow me whole at the moment. These two girls can be sometimes so embarrassing but doesn't dispute the fact that I love them both very much. Angela has been a really good friend over the years and as for Ini, she was definitely my everything but as much as I loved them both, right now they were pissing me off. "Can you guys stop being so annoying? You're making me feel embarrassed." I snap angrily but with the look on their faces, they weren't stopping any time soon."So we can't celebrate on your behalf again? Is it not a good thing that finally after almost three years of being single to stupor, you finally have a boyfriend that I Ini-Obong Rebecca Udoh, happily approves of as

Justice Onuh I paced around my office impatiently, waiting for the report from one of my men that I had sent to keep an eye on everything step Tayo took and report back to me anytime he found any of her movements strange and he should also let me know whenever she and Bayo met up.Ever since Bayo audaciously walked into my office with nothing but pure contempt in his eyes for me all because Tayo had been kidnapped, I had started to slowly suspect that he was seeing her as more that a friend and just the mere thought of them being together, infuriated to no end. He normally avoided meeting me no matter what cause he hated the idea of getting into any kind of confrontation with me and the fact that he had willingly decided to come on his own, showed he might be caring about Tayo a little too much and I didn't like it one bit. My phone rings out and I immediately pick up, hoping that whatever the bastar

Omotayo "Tayo, I heard you're getting married. Is that really true? Are you actually getting married before me?" My elder brother Temitayo, teases and I frown."Who told you I'm getting you married?" I asked confusedly, wondering where he heard such a lie. "Well, isn't that why mom called this meeting? She wants us to talk about your wedding arrangements and your future husband, at least that's what I heard." He replies with a light shrug and I deadpan."So you mean we are gathering here today so mom can pry into my love life again? But why is it always about me? Can't they just talk about you for once since you're the who's above thirty and you're still not married. Speaking on this issue of your marriage bro, are you sure you're actually single or are you just waiting for the perfect timing to surprise attack all of us? Cause I know you very well bro and this smile on your face is not ordina
The Beauty of Love Chapter 30: Awkward meeting.
Omotayo A permanent smile was plastered on my face after the good news that I had gotten this morning. After days of waiting patiently, I finally got the video that I needed from Gabriel and saying I'm simply happy wouldn't be the right word to describe how I felt at the moment. I was most definitely on top of the world at the moment.The meeting with Bayo and his colleagues was to start in the next five minutes and only Bunmi and I were on sit as we waited patiently for Bayo and Arin to arrive. "Do you know how much longer they'll take?" I ask Bunmi, who simply shrugs me off and continues with his silent treatment. The rude son of a bish!"I know you don't like me and to be very frank with you, I absolutely don't care since you're not exactly my favourite person but the least you could have done was give me a proper reply. You don't have to treat me like I'm some kind of furniture." I snap at

OMOTAYO."Ini, am I overdressed?" Angela asks for the thousandth time today and both Ini and I could not help but look back at her with unimpressed expressions on our faces."I swear to God Angie, if you ask that question one more time, I'll strip you naked and use baby wipes to mess up your makeup." Ini threatens obviously irritated."Ahn ahn Ini, why would you even threaten to do something so mean?" She asks and I scoff."For the past thirty minutes you haven't stopped asking us about how you look and whether or not you look overdressed or not and frankly, I'm starting to get worried. Why are you so determined to look good when you've never even met Bayo?" I question, she frowns."Tayo, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking th

Omotayo. "Tayo, are you seeing what I'm seeing." Ini asks as soon as she runs towards where I stood with Bayo."What's happening Ini? What exactly are you seeing and why is Tayo not saying anything?" Bayo asks an already furious Ini and although I could hear and understand them, I still could not speak up."Guys, una dey see who I dey see abi na my eye dey deceive me?" Angela asks immediately she walked up to us and something about them asking made me feel even worse. Lord knew, I wished so dearly that seeing him was only a part of my imagination but the fact that they see him too and that he's actually here with his stupid wife right behind him made me wish the ground could just open up and swallow me whole.(Are you guys seeing who I'm seeing or are my eyes deceiving me?) "Can one of you just answer me already? What the hell is happening here?" Bayo ask
