Worlds Apart (WA)

The sun was shinning brightly, it was almost blinding. Its rays penetrated the window of the room where Ben was relaxing on the divan, lost in her own world different thoughts wandered through her mind some of which were of her ex-boyfriend, Daniel. "Bad dude" she muttered at the thoughts of him, she let out a small smile. He really explored her as much as she tried to loathe him now she couldn't he was a player but was also good in his nasty ways.The sun rays penetrated the window heavily this time, beaming its lights directly on Ben's face."I thought there was an ozone layer to prevent this ultra violet rays." She groaned, if she was to make a wish at the moment, her one wish would be for the sun to shine less but who was she to stop nature from taking its course?She changed the direction of where she was seated and flopped on her queen-sized bed, the rays penetrated less at that side of the room where her bed was placed.

 Getting up from bed every morning was one of the tasks Ben considered herculean.Her mother always performed the ritual of pouring a half bucket of water on her whenever she was sleeping deeply and needed to be somewhere early. She whined when the blaring alarm woke her up,"Mom." She cooed, then opened her eyes and realization hit her that she wasn't at home."My bad." She chuckled, "Thought mom was here." She stretched and yawned, "Work starts today." It's been a stressful three weeks for Ben , moving to the camp ground was no fun at all from the morning exercises they had to go through everyday to the parading of different venues, collecting of call-up letters and looking for the director in charge of mobilization. The stress of walking around in the sun almost darkened her skin and she vowed never to stay in camp.

Three months since she joined ABDULLAH HOLDINGS, and exactly four months she got to Kano. She smiled just like yesterday when she got to Kano she doubted if she would survive but here she was surviving beyond her expectations.Kano has been nothing but good to her, she played with her tresses and spun around on the chair happily. Ben was about to start typing on the computer when a lady walked into the office clanging her heels against the marbled floor.She looked tall, the 6 inches heels she wore supported her heights, she was fair but Ben was fairer, she looked pretty from the excess make up on her face, she wasn't fat nor slim she was in between with the right size of breasts for a lady and a good size of derriere She wore a black gown that hugged her curves tightly and completed it with a pink hijab, the only clothing on her that would make people convinced she was a Muslim."Orisirisi (differ

"Bestie!" Ben yelled excitedly, she was in a real good mood."What's up Bes?" Esther asked from the other end."So tell me about the new guy in your apartment, I was sleepy last night." Esther had called her the previous night and as usual, they were gisting and talking about everything that happened during the week but Ben was sleepy and she had doze off while Esther talked."Ain't you at work?" Esther questioned."Of course I am, wait let me switch the call to video call."  She did and squealed when she saw Esther. "Oh my baby, you glow, glow girl!" "Don't flatter me." Esther blushed."I'm not, I'm being serious now." She grinned. "So tell me about him.""First, he's cute." Esther started."Checked!" Ben raised a thumb to praise Esther."His name is David, he studied medicine at Obafemi Awo

He walked into the office and she didn't bother to greet him, that was the third day she had ignored him like he didn't exist on the planet earth.He wasn't willing to talk to her either, so he just let her be. They didn't have a cordial relationship to begin with.The meeting with the members of Josiah's company would be taking much of his time today, so he asked her to cancel every other meetings with other clients.The contract was too huge to be lost and the fate of the company winning the contract would be decided today.He got into his office and said a brief prayer before starting with the day's work,They've bid for the contract alongside other big Companies and Roshan feared the competitors would win it over."The clients are here." Ben informed him through the phone."Let them in." He said and she ushered them into his office immediately she ended the call.
