Chapter 5 5

Ayiiii I'm so stressed that I forgot my bag I quickly get it back and go out like a bandit accompanied by the same lady she shows me the toilets I'm going to make myself comfortable, what a relief, I really couldn't take it anymore . I really like this company but too bad it's going to pass me by, it'll teach me to open my big mouth instead of keeping a low profile. I go out and take the elevator to the reception, I wish good luck to the third girl and I go home. Shitty day for me it was even better that I didn't go out.

Moussa sent me a message he wants to see me tonight surely to get comfortable I'm not available, I'll see him when I want and not the other way around, and also if I need Money sometimes helps me and I am also generous otherwise I close my feet and that's how we juggle. I get home, Lydie is there in front of her notebook, I take off my shoes and throw myself on the chair. my sister looks at me and waits for me to speak, she knows me too well

_ Have you been back since?

_ yes I was just going to hand in a homework we didn't have class

My father comes out of his room he comes to sit down, he looks good, I like it

_ was your interview?

_ hummm disaster dad

_ How did it happen?

_ when we say to pray before going out in the morning it's not the joke I'm sure that if I had to pray I was not going to come out my mouth

My little sister who loves gossip leaves her chair to come and sit by our side and not miss anything I'm going to tell them

_ you like it too much

_ Dido tells me, she throws at me

I was on my way to wait for the taxi. I was about to cross when a car almost ran over me. I still fell

My father took fright.

_ you got nothing I hope.

_ no dad it's ok it's fear that made me fall. The gentleman comes out of his bass drum to come towards me you know me with my room moves I insulted him

My sister cut me off

_ but he did not apologize?

_ yes but I was upset he dares to tell me that I should look before crossing

_ at the same time he is not wrong if you had looked you would not have crossed

_ you weren't there to know if I watched or not stuippp it's my story eh it's not for you

Seeing that things were already going into a tailspin with Lydie, my father intervenes

_ it's good finished your story what happened

_ I yelled at him and he left. I admit that he was very calm unlike me I even called him a witch like he wanted to sell me. Hummm the best is that I arrive at the company where I have to pass the interview who do I see as CEO, the same type

My sister bursts out laughing, she laughs until she lifts her feet.. my father is overwhelmed

_ you are serious ?

_ very serious dad it was him the same one that I yelled at in the morning

_ thin !

He wants to laugh but tries to keep it so as not to bother me

_ you can laugh dad it doesn't bother me I already know that I've been sold since

He smiles. My sister pulls herself together before resuming

_ my sister tell me how you did it, I hope you fled

_ I would have liked but there was no way I was already in the room. It's lucky I didn't piss myself

They both laugh and I feel even more stupid.

_ werrrr my sister you unlock levels every day. How often do you get polite? Politeness madam it does not sell

_ ah I was stressed it's not like I'm badly brought up we are in Douala and things go fast here

My father exclaims

_ it doesn't mean anything, being in Douala doesn't mean behaving like a thug, this gentleman almost hit you because of you, he still asks you for an apology but you insult him, it's not nice

_ hummm I know I screwed up pffff.

_ How was the interview, did you pass it anyway?

_ yes but I was not comfortable. The thing is that I don't know if he recognized me he didn't show anything at least I hope

My sister doesn't agree with me, she doesn't do anything to comfort me

_ Aka he recognized you maybe he just wanted to stay professional

_ it could also be that he didn't recognize me these people have a lot on their minds, in addition in the morning he didn't have his glasses

_ if it can console you, so much the better, but I'm telling you the truth. This man recognized you.

_ pfffff and yet I wanted this job, what happens to me even often

To my father to cheer me up

_ one thing is certain, nothing happens for nothing in this world.. out of the millions of cars that drive on this axis every morning, it's the car of the director where you're going to have the interview that knocks you down, I say that it's not for nothing, there will be a sequel

Lydie disagrees with my father and lets him know

_ no dad, there won't be any further it was a coincidence that she mismanaged if she had apologized maybe it was going to work in her favor but here it's the opposite. Who would like to have an ill-mannered assistant

And then I'm shocked

_ ehh I'm not badly brought up

_ I know it but this gentleman does not know it is the impression that you gave him. Sorry he won't be able to recruit you and you know it dad.

_ I continue to say that nothing happens for nothing in any case we will see.

They both make me drunk now it has become a topic of discussion I prefer to go to bed...

_ I go to the bedroom

My father is sorry for me, it shows on his face, oh too bad I understood the lesson soon I will try to control myself. My father follows me in the bedroom I'm lying and looking at the ceiling he knocks and enters

_ I can ?

_ Yes Dad

He comes to sit by my side

_ I know you are in pain but it does not matter you will find another one

_ I know dad but I wanted this one so much.

_ also sorry to know that it's partly my fault if you're always tense, nervous, it hurts me

_ It's not your fault dad. Don't worry it will be fine.

_ Ok I'll let you rest I'm also going to bed.

_ OK.

🧔'' I'm Mr. Noah, I'm 58 years old yes I'm a little young and I have big daughters. I gave birth very young at the time I had some money, I already had a job and my parents also supported me so I lacked nothing when I met their mother. Ah this woman I loved her so much I did not hesitate to marry her 2 years after our meeting. Everything went so fast, I went from victory to victory, we were so happy, I was earning more and I was making them feel comfortable unfortunately a financial crisis forced us to reduce staff or I was sacked because I I was one of those who hit big. I thought afterwards that they were going to get me back but alas the company finally went down the owners closed everything, that's where my trigger started, I saw the true face of the woman who shared my life during long years. She objected to my working in small companies, saying that "it's not my level, it doesn't earn much, be patient you will find the place you deserve" I had trusted her and I I waited, again and again until she lost her patience herself and left with the one who proposed to her big. She left without warning without saying goodbye to her daughters. How could a mother react like that. The first few months I first thought she had had problems but her sister confirmed to us that she lives with a white man I think that's when I lost all self-confidence, I I lost my virility as a man, my honor, no one had been the presence of my daughters I think I will have hit rock bottom. Sometimes I wonder what I did to god to have two beautiful girls by my side, they are an unwavering support. I know that I am a burden for them, I see the many efforts they make for me and because of my state of health I cannot help them. It breaks my heart, it was rather me who had to take care of her and not the other way around. Carla is our mother, I owe her a lot every day, I pray that she will meet a man who will know how to value her who will hold her hand. She had to refuse marriage requests only because she didn't want to leave us alone, she never told me that but I know it, the last suitor was an important man who could support us well but she refused I did not understand. She's getting old, she'll have to get married, have children, I don't want her to put her life on hold for me, I've already lived and I can die now to let them live without having to take care of a sick person. My daughters are all my life I love them so much. We have nothing today but we have the love of a family. ''

Mr christ oxford is sitting in his big armchair behind his desk. Through the large window he observes the outside, the road traffic, the people passing by. His ideas are remote to the point where he does not follow his collaborator enter. Bob walks up to him and pats him on the shoulder, he comes to

_ Oh it's you

_ are you dreaming or what

Bob will sit down, so long as Christ turns his chair around to face him

_ What are the news

Bob places the shirt in his hand on the table

_ with the HRD we conducted the counting and unanimously chose a candidate. First we would like to know if you have a penchant for one of them.

He leans back in his chair and crosses his feet

_ what is your choice ?

_ well we chose Miss Noah she has a lot of experience, she is versatile, having a degree in communication is an asset for us, in addition she has no children which will mean no constraints, I think that she can do the trick, what do you say?

He smiles and takes a pen that he puts in his mouth

_ what's this ?

He smiles again and claps hands his friend is confused

_ I was stupid or whatever amused you

_ I'll tell you what happened this morning when I came. I was on the way normally driving when suddenly a girl appeared in front of me, I just had time to brake in time otherwise I would have hit her

_ oulalala she did not see where what

_ Of course she didn't look before crossing and when I rush to help her get up she sends me off insulting me. Can you imagine I apologize even
