Chapter 4 004. He's our boss!

"Let me go talk to her," Adeola said.

"Okay," Bimbo said, Adeola stood up, move towards the exist. She opened the door, walked through it and she shut it behind herself. Her bag was still there on the chair she sat.

OUTSIDE BIMBO'S APARTMENT

Adeola ran outside, she looked around, Bimpe was no where to be found, adeola assume she had left, she moved towards the car, going to the other side, she met Bimpe sitting on the floor. No, she was sitting on her handkerchief.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you run out like that?" Adeola interrogated bending down beside her.

"Did I tell you about what happened to me, when I was coming to your place, earlier today? " Bimpe asked. Adeola tried to remember, but she couldn't recollect what she told her.

"in the car"

"Ohm" shaking her head " about a mad man that chased you"

"no he's not a mad man, and no one chased me" Adeola burst into an uncontrollable laughter. " Stop been funny, it not a joke" she said standing up, Adeola did the same.

" Ok, ok, ok. What is it"

"the man I told you that embarrassed me"

"a man that embarrassed you on the street this morning"

"yes" she said nodding

"does that have to do with this?" still trying not to laugh. With one of her hands on Bimpe's shoulders.

"Wait, will you listen?"

"Okay, go on," she said with some gesture.

"Just listen, when I was dressed, coming to your place. Accidentally, I rushed into the road, almost knocked down by a car or by the man driving the car. I begged him, but instead for him to forgive and forget it. Rather, he insulted me, and embarrassed me so badly"

"Orr, sorry. So, what are you insinuating. Does that have to do with everything we were discussing before you left?"

"Yes, it has everything to do with this"

"How?"

"the driver or owner of the car is the man you want me to marry"

"Is that why you are angry and don't want to marry him?" Adeola asked sheepishly.

"Is it not enough reason?, I know, man like him are proud and so full of theirselves"

" it's enough, let get going. Go inside the car or are you not going any longer?" said a bit teasing her.

" Oh, I left the key inside, go get it for me"

" me, inside. God forbid, over my dead body, over my humble soul"

"It's enough, let me go get my bag, we'll come tomorrow when your temper is gone or softened"

"It not fair" Bimpe said as Adeola went inside to pick up her bag.

INSIDE BIMBO'S RESIDENCE.

Adeola entered, she moved towards her bag. The to parties were staring at her, she finally speaks. "Ma, we'll come back tomorrow,"

"Why is your friend angry?" Kunle asked, looking Adeola directly in the eye, she quickly looked down. Then she raised her eye above his head. Her hands started to tap her laps, feet were tapping the floor. She tried hard to stop them but they never listen to her. Her body was uncontrollable.

"It's nothing, sir," she said. Her body backed them. His face were turning red pale. She tried to lift her leg then Bimbo asked

"Wait" she dropped her foot "did she say anything about him?"

"Yes" she faced her audience again "not bad but she said he and her have met this morning, she said you almost knocked her down with your car. Mistakenly, that's all" Adeola explained.

"So, she was the one. That fool, she's crazy" he became much more scary in the look.

"Bye ma, we will visit you tomorrow," she ran off as if been chased by an hunted ghost.

"See, you this boy, I can't let you chase away all my client because you are my brother. I won't accept that " Bimbo threatened.

"How many clients of yours have I chased away?" kunle asked.

"Five, five of my clients," Bimbo said with some gesture.

"I will pay, and how much will they pay each?" Kunle questioned.

"One hundred dollars each"

"Then I will pay double, only if you find me a good marriage contract partner," There was silence for about five minutes, kunle stood picked up his other phone, and said "I'll take my leave now"

"Okay, my regards to your girlfriend"

" Okay" he said moving out of the house.

KUNLE'S COMPANY

Bimpe and Adeola moved in the company main door, they were moving gradually towards the elevator. They stood there for a bit. She pressed the elevator's button, she tapped Adeola to move into the elevator. They both entered, Bimpe rested on the walls of the elevator, Adeola was busy with her phone. Kunle entered into the elevator. He was dressed in a royal blue suit and with packing shirt with a red tie. Almost immediately he entered, Bimpe saw him, she just hissed and put down her head to her phone. He nodded his head with his face a bit frowned, with his fist tightened. Adeola looked up and she saw the tall figure in front of her, she recollected the picture she saw online about the company she works in.

Earlier, she searched for the CEO of the Kunle's company. It was only the picture of Mr. Afolabi that was there in sight. But under his account was some other pictures of his entire family. Then she saw Mr. kunle standing behind Mr. Afolabi.

"Good morning sir" Adeola greeted in an hurry.

"Good morning" kunle answered, his voice was deep and low.

"Bimpe, why are not greeting him?" Adeola questioned silently but kunle heard it.

"Why should I?" Bimpe said a little bit high. She intentionally did it for Mr. Kunle to hear her out.

"lower your voice"

"why should I do that, shouldn't someone like him come to offices like this"

" You will regret what you are doing, keep it down"

"Why!!" she said teasingly.

"He's our boss!!!" Adeola said.

"What!!!, No you must be kidding my" She exclaimed,

"I'm really serious"

"What" she said, immediately she cleared her throat and greeted.

"Good morning sir"

"No, you don't need to" he turned to her, their eyes made eye contacts, she couldn't hold it, she immediately buried her face staring at her foot. "for an example, if it wasn't me and it was a businessman coming from another company, to sign a contract, and you did this. He might just leave without coming to my office to sign the contract. You have to respect everyone you come across in life. It's assumed that 'respect is reciprocal'. People respect you the way you have respected them."

He paused a bit, he fixed his glasses well to his face. "The next time you do this, you might be fired. It not for me, but for yourself" He walked out of the elevator, as soon as it stopped.

Adeola was muted on a spot. Her eye wasn't moving which were glued to Mr. Kunle's backside still in her sight. Not even her hands, legs nor her entire body, only her clothes moved a little, which were reacting to Kunle's advise. She was rivalled by the elevator sound. She saw Bimpe running after him. Bimpe reached him a few steps to his office entrance. She knelt before him, he became muted. She began to beg for forgiveness. Adeola followed in hurry.

" I'm sorry sir" she started "I'm really, really deeply sorry sir. I won't do that again sir I promise" Adeola stood a few steps away from them.

"Get lost, get to work now" he said moving to his office. Adeola followed him to plead on her behalf, while she was still kneeling there.

"She is sorry sir, she is not the type. She got annoyed by what you did to her the other day. But she is sincerely sorry" she said running to catch up with him. He was a bit fast.

He stopped at the entrance of his office and said "Okay, tell her to meet me at my sister's place by the evening" the security man, Sule opened the door as he bowed.

"Okay sir thanks on her behalf,"
