My phone rang out. I looked at the screen and saw it was my boyfriend calling and I knew he was calling to ask me about the money I promised him. The phone kept ringing and Badmus interrupted my thoughts,

“Good morning sir” she greeted.

I raised my head to see who Fayo was greeting. It was Badmus Kolawole. I had never seen Badmus outside the office before, so he looked quite different to me. He was clad in a jumper and a tee-shirt. He didn’t look like the normal boss I had seen from time to time. He looked good, very good. His biceps were quite obvious from his tee-shirt and they were very toned.

What on earth was Fayokunmi doing at Badmus’ gym? How did Badmus even know her name? I mean over a thousand people work at our company, so how did he manage to know Fayokunmi out of the many?

Fayo was waking me up to work out. Me? Work out? How?

Apparently, she had made a gym registration for me at a gym the day before.

“Get up. I registered you at the gym and even got you a personal trainer. We need to get there by 7. So hurry.” She announced as she walked out of the room.

I couldn’t believe my ears when Teniola told me that Badmus had called her and asked her to return to work. The worst of all was that she mocked me. A whole me, her boss. Badmus had given her liver to talk back at me. I was both pained and angry.

“Hey baby.” I was so excited. I hadn’t spoken to my boyfriend in days. He was always missing my calls so we only talked on WhatsApp once in a while. So you can imagine my excitement when he called me.

I successfully beat the useless traffic from Agege to Lekki and was at Fayo’s estate, arguing with the security at the gate. Fayo lives in one of these posh Lekki estates, where a two bedroom apartment costs two million naira per annum. A whole two million. My two bedroom apartment in Agege costs three hundred and fifty thousand naira. That is one million, six hundred and fifty thousand naira difference.

“So how is work? Any new thing happening?” Badmus asked me as we got to the office.

“Work’s fine. Today was just a little hectic. I just want to go home, jump in the shower and sleep.” I yawned.

“Hectic? Onome, you don’t do half the work there. What am I even saying? You don’t do any work at all, Teniola does it all. So why is work hectic all of a sudden?”

I was so excited to have Teni out of my hair for 3 weeks. I didn’t have to see her prancing around and rubbing her stupid knowledge in my face. Most importantly, I didn’t have to be so self conscious and competitive.

I arrived at the office late, again. Onome had already resumed by the time I walked in. As soon as she learnt of my arrival, she sent for me and conjured some story of how I had been coming late everyday and how it wasn’t good for the department.
