REJECTED
“Wha…”
Before my girlfriend could finish.
She rushed to me.
“Daniel, where will I start? The new manager is my ex’s friend , how will I start looking for a new job”.
She was crying, hugging my waist, I turned to my furious girlfriend to calm her.
“We will talk later”she snapped angrily and went back to her seat.
“Emm look hey , stop crying, it’s not the end of the world, you are smart and the best designer I have seen, I will help talk to the guy, I promise I must convince him”.
Her face brightened.
“Thank you , thank you Dan,” She dried her eyes.
“Thanks Abigail bye” She waved at my girlfriend who seemed not interested, so she completely ignored her.
After she left, Abigail walked up to me with her hands folded over her chest.
“So what’s the meaning of that, friends with benefits?”
“You know me better and why you Ignore her, she’s the last person to get into someone’s relationship, so stop fighting her, we are good friends and that’s it”.
“Bla Bla bla bla once upon a time!!!, fairy tales!!” She snapped and walked back to her seat.
“Baby, Can you at least help me with the bathing”
“Last time I checked you are old enough to impregnate a woman and become a father and bathe yourself!!”
I shook my head, I went to her and carried her heading to the bathroom.
“Put me down, or I will bite you”.
**AT THE COMPANY**
“So you telling me what?”the new boss snapped at me.
Seriously this dude got anger issues, or is he just naturally mean.
I stared at him , scared of my fellow man’s visuals.
“You will regret it if you don’t get her back in your team sir”.
“You know who I am?”
“Words 9th richest under 30 , the owner of F&F fashion brand, the giant icons, you have branches all over the world, yes and I am a fan”.
“I am impressed, but you just described the little you know, next time you talk to me, keep it low , just like you”.
I smiled, hiding my anger. I am this spoiled rat’s elder yet he talks to me like a child, I don’t blame him, he’s rich, it’s one of their things.
“Well I won’t try to force it on you but I am sure you will regret it sir, please give her a chance”.
“You are the only one who said something nice about that lady out of the other co-workers”.
“Believe me they lied to you sir”.
“Her ex told me their story”.
“He probably made it up sir, also every story has two sides, you don’t know her own story”.
“So tell me what it is that you want to gain from her by doing this, trying to convince me to get her back here”he said , twitching a thick brow as he lay back on the office chair.
“She’s a good friend. I am just doing what I have to, not to mention she’s a very hard-working person sir”.
He glanced at me for some time.
“Fine I will give her a chance to prove her worth, you can go now”.
“Thanks boss”.
I went outside the office and called Valerie on the phone to inform her about it.
She was so happy.
“Are you kidding me now, I had the dream last night I was praying and waiting patiently, I know you will do it thanks Daniel, God bless you”.
“Amen, so prepare yourself too, this guy is not just a CEO, he is huge and if we eventually start working for him in due time we will be a big name and famous, you know what I mean , the F&F brand is a worldwide iconic fashion brand”.
“I heard of it too, I can’t believe we are working with F &F, I mean , we are going to be working with F&F , it’s like a dream come true , I will give it my best shot”.
“Take care, don’t think too much”.
“I won’t , stop worrying! I am fine, say Hy to Abigail for me when you get home”.
“I will”.
“And hey, remember to take your drugs”. “How did you know I’m sick?”I was shocked.
“Malaria, I had the dream of you being sick and refusing to take your drugs”.
So accurately, I refused to take my drugs this morning.
“I wish I was that gifted too”.
She chuckled.
“Bye Dan, you are an irreplaceable friend”.
She hung up. I can’t help smiling.
“Well tomorrow we start work, goodluck to us”. I said to myself.
**VALERIE’S POV**
The next day at work, I dressed my best. It’s not a small opportunity to work with the F&F Famous and fantastic Fashion brand. My happiness was written all over me not until I sighted Kamsy.
I greeted her first, she Ignored me, I regretted taking the first move immediately, but I was doing that to pretend I was hurting.
I saw Daniel standing by the other side waiting for his turn for the interview too, I sneaked through to him.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
I hit his shoulder playfully , he laughed.
“You are as excited as I am right?”he asked. I nodded and took a deep breath, my heart was racing so much, I could feel the sweat.
