Kelvin watched as the beautiful lady who
appeared to be drunk walked towards him. The
security at the VIP corner tried to prevent her from
getting into the VIP cubicle but he gave them a
sign and they allowed her in.
“Hello”, she said when she had taken her seat
beside him.
Kelvin: “hi” he said, without indicating any
interest in whatever it was that she had to say.
Queen: “I am sorry I had to barge in on you like
this. My name is Queen” she said extending her
hand for a handshake.
Kelvin: “Kelvin is mine. Join me, even though I
think that you have had a little too much to drink”
Queen: “I may have had too much of brandy but
that is certainly different from Champagne so I
will join you” she said and picked one of the
unused glasses and poured herself a drink.
Queen: “tastes great” she remarked after two sips.
Kelvin: “Champagne always does, my dear”
There was a moment of awkward silence between
them. Queen noticed the way his eyes roamed the
body of the strippers who were dancing sexily and
she wondered if he had plans of taking any of
them home.
Queen: “So, tell me about yourself” she said
breaking the silence.
Kelvin: “there isn’t really much to say about
myself. I am the only child of my mother, I am a
successful business man and I come here to relax
every weekend because my weekdays are always
super busy” he said quickly.
Queen: “and the girls…” she said pointing towards
the direction of the strippers.
Kelvin: “What? Oh no. I don’t go home with them.
I come here to watch them perform live. I
encourage them by spraying some cash on them,
nothing more”
“He is such an adorable husband material” Queen
thought in heart.
Asha sent a WhatsApp message to Queen asking
her to come so that they could go home but
Queen told her to go and that she would find her
way home later. Asha had no choice than to drive
back home alone after trying to persuade Queen
to follow her to no avail.
Kelvin: “I think you should have followed your
friend home. It is getting pretty late, you know
and taking cabs alone by this time could be
dangerous”
Queen: “I know but I don’t want to leave you
now. I am enjoying your company so much. I
think I kinda like you” she said looking away from
him.
Kelvin: “Really? Well thanks” he said and resumed
his drinking.
After about an hour, he got up to leave and Queen
got up too.
Queen: “Are you leaving?” she asked suddenly.
kelvin: “yes, do you have a prblem with that?”
Queen: “no. I..erm can I follow you home?” she
stuttered.
Kelvin: “What! Why should you follow me home?”
he asked taking a step away from her.
Queen: “I am afraid of going home by myself at
this time of the night. If I knew it would be like
this, I would have gone with my friend” she said.
Kelvin: “Well, that isn’t a problem. I can drop you
off in your house before driving home. Give me
your address” he said.
Queen: “I can’t even remember my address, I
think I have had too much wine” she lied.
Kelvin: “well then call your friend and let her send
the address to you” he suggested, pointing at her
phone.
Queen: “that one? She would have switched off
her phone by now. Once she gets home, the first
thing she does is to switch off her phone” she lied
again. She was scheming so hard to follow the
handsome dude home and nothing could deter
her.
Kelvin: “I have never done this before but then
knowing how dangerous it can be out here in the
night, I do not have the heart to leave you alone.
Come along” he said and she happily followed
him.
He navigated his way to the parking space and
she was surprised to see his brand new
Lambourgini. She hopped in and the ride to his
house was one of the best drives she had ever
had in her life.
“this one must marry me o” , she thought in her
heart.
====
Mercy was in her place of primary assignment
when one of her bosses called her into his office
and informed her of a vacancy for a secondary
school graduate in their company.
Boss: “I have seen your dedication and hard work
since you resumed your primary assignment here.
I have also been told by the human resource
officer that you have submitted your CV and that
of another person for employment consideration.
Is that true?” he asked as soon as she stepped
into his office.
Mercy: “Yes, sir. It is true. I thought of submitting
it in case there will be an opening for employment
after my POP which is just some few months
away”
Boss: “Well, there is an opening right now, one is
for a graduate and the other is for a secondary
school certificate holder. So tell me, the person
whose CV you submitted, is he your brother or
something?”
Mercy: “He is my finace, sir. We are waiting on the
Lord for a good job and confirmation before we
proceed with our wedding plans” she said looking
down at her feet.
Boss: “I see. Well, you cannot get the job now
because it requires that applicants produce their
Discharge or Exemption from NYSC letters. You
are still serving so you don’t have that”
Mercy: “I know, sir. But if you can help my fiancé
with the job for the secondary school graduate, I
will be very happy and my God will bless you
abundantly”
Boss: “if it were your brother, I would gladly have
done it but for another man, I deserve some form
of payment” he said quickly.
“Payment? I don’t understand, sir” she said to
him.
Boss: “I will give him the job. I am sure you need
not be told that working in this company at any
level is a very fortunate thing because we pay
well”
Mercy: “Ah, thank you very much, sir. My God will
bless you, you will never lack in life. Your children
will be favoured by men and by God. It shall be
well with you all the days of your life” she said
getting down on her knees.
Boss: “It’s okay. Just get up, I haven’t finished
talking”
Mercy obeyed and got up.
Boss: “I will give your boyfriend the job but you
have to sle.ep with me first. Like I said earlier, if he
was your family member, I would have done it for
free but in this case, let me have a taste of the
cookie in between your leg as my reward for
giving your man a lucrative job.
Mercy: “What! Sir, you mean you can only allow
him have the job if I allow you to…to have s.ex
with me?”
Boss: “Exactly. I am not the only one asking for
that, many people do it and there is nothing
wrong with it” he said shamelessly.
Mercy: “Everything is wrong with it, sir. You are a
married man and I am not your wife. It is wrong
of me to sleep with you. It is a grievous sin before
God”
Boss: “I know that you are the state coordinator
of your corpers fellowship but I did not call you
here to preach for me. If you don’t have any other
thing to say, please use the door”
Mercy: “Sir?”
Boss: “Get out of my office!” he barked and Mercy
scampered along wondering if she should just
give in to him and help her man secure a good
job.
