EPISODE 28
“Hi Jane, welcome back”
The receptionist greeted as Jane and Amaka walked into the office building.
“Thank you ma’am, how have you been?”
“Doing great, sorry about your accident though you don’t look like what you have been through”
“Really how so?”
“You are glowing all over and you have this gleeful look”
Jane turned to look at Amaka “Really?”
“Yes” they both answered in unison
“Well it’s the Lord’s doing”
“And it’s marvelous in our sight” the receptionist answered as she waved them off “it’s good to have you back Jane, I will see you girls around”
“I told you, you are glowing” Amaka said to her as they walked towards their office
“That’s what you get when you have peace”
“You forgot to add dating a millionaire”
“Amaka when are you going to st..”
Just then Jane’s phone rang, she took it out of her bag and saw it was Jeffery calling.
“I will see you during lunch break, tell Jeffery I said hi” Amaka said as she went into her office.
“How did you know he is the one calling?”
She didn’t wait for Amaka’s reply before picking up the call.
“Hello beautiful” Jeffery greeted with a deep husky voice, the type of voice that always made Jane weak on her knees.
“Hi good morning, how are you doing?”
“Good morning to you too I’m doing okay and how is my baby doing?”
“I am okay, why does your voice sound so husky are you just waking up?”
“Something like that”
“Aren’t you going to work?”
“I’m working already; calling you”
“Jeff I’m serious”
“And so am I”
“Alright, so aren’t you going to do any other work today?”
“Well there is no other work I would rather do than the one I am doing right now”
“Hahahahahahaha you sure do have a way with words”
“See? you are laughing already that shows I am good at my job”
“Yeah you sure are”
“I’m glad you are happy with my services anything to make you happy ma’am”
“Don’t be so pleased with yourself yet, you need to up your game”
“Hehehehehehehe.. now you are the one cracking me up”
“We are both good at our jobs then”
“Yeah we are, so what are your plans for the day, already at work?”
“Yeah I am yet to see Vivian though, until she comes before I can know my itinerary for the day, what about you?”
“I had a meeting with my Hong Kong investors earlier this morning by 5:am, I will be going to the office later by 10, I have a couple of meetings to attend”
“No Gym?”
“Yeah I will do a couple of push ups before jumping in the shower, don’t worry babe I will keep the abs sexy for you”
“How did we get to that? Wait, don’t answer that”
“Alright I won’t, have you had breakfast?”
“No I didn’t have the time to do that I woke up late”
“Babe but you had the time to be in the office an hour before resumption?”
“Well I was trying to avoid being caught up in traffic besides I will have something during lunch”
“Baby you don’t go for lunch until 1pm that’s if Vivian doesn’t laden you with so much work”
“I promise I will find time to eat something”
“What am I supposed to do with you?”
Just then Vivian walked in and waved at Jane as she went into her office
“Nothing, I have to go now Vivian has arrived the office”
“Alright but we are not done with this conversation”
“I hear you, do have a lovely day”
”You too sugar”
Jane walked into Vivian’s office.
“Good morning Vivian”
“Good morning Jane how are you?”
“I am fine thank you”
“Hope your knee has properly healed?”
“Yes it has, thanks for asking”
“Alright then I am glad you back because there is a lot to be done around here, the new girl Katherine has been working in your stead for the past two weeks that you weren’t around, meet her and she will update you on all you need to know”
“Alright where can I find her?”
“I just saw her going into the content creator’s office a minute ago, I’m sure you will find her there”
Jane went in search of her and saw her walking out of the office.
“Hi dear Jane how are you doing?”
“I am doing okay I was actually coming to meet you”
“Oh really, hope no problem?”
“No, not at all I just need you to update me on Vivian’s schedule and every other thing I need to know”
“Alright sure can we go to the cafeteria? I was going there to have some tea”
”Sure I could use some tea myself”
They got to the cafeteria and Jane spotted the table by the window where her and Amaka usually sat anytime came for lunch, it was empty so she suggested they took it. Katherine went to get her tea and then joined Jane on the table.
“Aren’t you going to take anything?”
“No I’m fine”
”But you just said a while ago that you were going to have some tea yourself?”
”Yeah I changed my mind I will eat something during lunch”
She was actually hungry but she preferred to eat later, her priority right now is not breakfast but to be up to date on Vivian’s schedule and meetings. There is something about the way Vivian spoke to her when she came into the office, Jane couldn’t really place her fingers on it but she knew something was off.
“Jane?”
“Yes, sorry do you mind repeating your question?”
“I said do mind telling me about Mr Jeffery?”
“Excuse me? I don’t understand”
“Tell me more about Mr Jeffery Ademola, I would really like to know more about him”
“I heard you the first time, I just don’t understand why you want to know more about him besides that’s not why we are here”
“Yeah I know but I just figured while we go through Vivian’s schedule you can tell me more about Mr Jeffery because I like him”
“Katherine do mind telling me what I came here for? I’m sure Vivian will be needing my attention soon”
“Come on, I know you worked closely with him before he signed the contract, see I really like that guy. I was hoping to get closer to him when I was assigned to his project but then he requested for you instead so I figured you both must be close”
“I see”
“Yeah or wait are you sleeping with him?”
Jane choked on the water she was drinking and started to cough
“Sorry, drink more water”
Jane was short of words, at first when Katherine started working with them; she thought her to be an intelligent girl with the way she dressed and all but now Jane knew she thought wrong with each word the girl spoke.
“I’m sorry Katherine I think you are mistaken, I am not close to Mr Jeffery” (except that I just agreed to be his girlfriend) she couldn’t say this out loud.
“But that was not the impression I got the day I took those documents for him to sign, he almost caused a third world war because I brought the documents and not you”
“Well… Ehmm that’s because he didn’t want to start afresh with someone else, besides I knew everything about the contract”
“But I only took the documents for him to sign and not discuss the contract?”
Bursted
“Yeah you have a point I really don’t know why he would react the way he did”
“Jane are you lying to me?”
“Of course not, how about you update me on Vivian’s schedule and then I will tell you the few things I know about Jeffery?”
“Great but wait why are you on first name basis with him?”
This girl is as inquisitive as a 5year old.
“That’s because he likes being called Jeffery and not Mr Jeffery that’s one of the things you need to know about him”
“Wow thank you so much so I can call him Jeffery”
“Yes so please back to why we are here”
Jane finally got Katherine to update her on Vivian’s schedule and in exchange she told her Jeffrey’s best color and food.
When Jane got back to her office she met Vivian at the door.
“Jane I’m stepping out for an hour or two I just got a call from my son’s school requiring I come over; he must have gotten in one of those his usual troubles”
“Okay”
“Yes, so hold all my calls, transfer the important ones to my personal line”
“Alright Vivian”
“I will be back soon, by the way you have a delivery”
Jane turned to look at her table to see a package on her desk, she walked to the desk and opened the package to discover it was containing food;
“Do you know who brought it?”
“No the delivery man came asking for you, doesn’t it have a note or something?”
“No it doesn’t”
”Jane are you seeing someone?”
