CHAPTER 15

Office intercom system started ringing in Ashar's office, Somia took it and communicating with the department that called. It was Ashar and Somia that were coming to work together now with Ashar's car and Somia was very happy for this opportunity because it really reduced her transport fees.

Somia stood up after finished receiving the call, redressed and coming out from the table. Ashar too was busy working on his laptop and also looking at Somia. He was always happy seeing Somia beside him, even it was like Somia should be living him.

"Sir! I want to see them at director's office to collect the file on the current project and that is what he called me for"

"Okay!, go quickly so that we can work on it!" Door opened and closed, Ashar's friend entered wearing a lovely outfit and cover shoes. Ashar stood up as he saw him entering.

"My guy! How are you? Am happy to see here today!" Shakes hands and hug each other.

"Am fine!! I decided to come and see you today when I don't see at our favorite joint for like two weeks now!"

"Good morning Sir!!" Somia greeted

"Good morning young lady!" Ashar's friend looked at Somia, starring at her and wanted to remember where he met her last. Ashar too was looking at him.

"Have your seat Raheem and let talk!" Raheem shift the chair out, sitting down on it and still looking at Somia.

"I will be on my way now Sir!" Somia said and leaving, sound of the door closed and Raheem faced Ashar.

"That is not the girl that came to meet us at the VP that night that it was like she had drunk, she came to meet you, appreciating you and too my guy just grabbed your copy!"

"You talk too much!! Well, yes she is the one. That same lady!"

"I said so!. You are a bad guy! I see that you enjoyed that lady that night and just use the opportunity that you are looking for personal assistant to employe her secretly---!" Ashar stopped him.

"Guy!! But not like that, this is just God wish. The next day that she woke up, if you see the way she embarrassed me. Thought that I rapped her and lucky on that same day she had an interview here and that is how will met again!"

"And you employed her, also sharing the same office with her so that it will be very easy to do anything or have fun with her!!" As he finished talking, laughed. Ashar looked at him and shakes his head. Raheem was really a corrupt guy.

"See the way you think. Somia that you see is very a decent girl, not like all those girls at all. Even if it was not because she forced to drink by her friend and that was her first time, if you see the way she was talking very decent girl. Even still now she has not know how to look at me eye to eye!"

"I saw that in her that night. That is why achol is not good!"

"That is what I told her. Somia is lady to be respect and love!" Saying it from his mind. Door opened and closed, Somia entered with the file in her hand.

"Well done Sir, this is the file sir!" greeted Raheem and standing beside him. Her didn't remembered Raheem at all.

"Me and my friend are going out now, bring the file. I will work it at home and you take care of the office!"

"Let me work on it Sir, I don't have work again that am doing!"

"Don't mind, I will work on it. Take care of yourself!" Said with lovely and beautiful smile on his face. That his smile was so sweet even a woman that was hard, she wouldn't now when she would fall in love for him.

"Okay! Sir!!" Ashar and his friend had been on their foot ready, Ashar took his laptop bag and they left the office. Sound of the door closed and Somia sat down on her chair.

Ashar and Raheem just got down to the secretary place, going out. Two of them had were same hight and be like twins.

"Congratulations! I heard that your wedding date and been picked, it's Mom that called me, you didn't called"

"It's her that is calling people around!" Said with lower voice, since he had met Somia and he had been developing love for her, he didn't wanted the wedding to hold at all but he had no choice and he couldn't say no to his parents wish.

"It's because of wedding that is why you don't come to club again. If I called you, just put me on the scale and you won't come again. You too want to start behaving like a responsible man now!" Raheem said with smile.

"That wedding will stop me from coming to club, it's capital NO. That wedding is for our parents and Iqmat. She is the one and they that want to do the wedding not for me. They are the one that plan the matchmaking so the wedding is for them"

"Matchmaking issues!!. My father and his friend now as see the results of the matchmaking that they did for my sister and her husband, she is in our house now with her son!. Back to you, why don't you come to club again?"

"I can't lie to you, it's someone that is behind this. So I want to stop seeing all those club girls and stop going to club!"

"Someone!! Who is that because I can see love in your eye!"

"You know what let change the topic!!"

"Who is she? Or it's that girl that you P. A, because directly and indirectly it has want to be her. This home and office personal assistant must be suspicious and I can see that look on your face and smile when talking to her" Getting down to the compound and walking beside each other.

"Change the topic Mr man!" Said with loud voice.

"Well don't forget you are getting married next year!!" said with smile and making gest of Ashar.

"Mr man get into your car and let go!" Ashar didn't like to be hearing the wedding things and that was why didn't told anybody and it was like the wedding should not hold or it should be between him and Somia not Iqmat.

*****

Somia was just pressing her phone, put her legs on the table and resting. Since that there was no work to do. Door of the office opened and Semiaa entered wearing a lovely office fit.

"Hi! Thank you for coming here!" Somia said with smile.

"How are you? I hope you are not busy!" shift the chair out at the front of Somia and sat down.

"Am good. Since from that day, I have never been busy again. Don't you see that it's phone am pressing, it was like CEO really want to use that day to punish me. I don't know!"

"May be he just want to know how hardworking you are!"

"I think so, because from then I have never been busy and even most of thing he is the one doing it!"

"Good!, let go and eat lunch so that we can know each other well as friends. Now that you too are less busy and I too!"

'Okay let go!!" Somia stood up with her phone and the office key. Two of them left the office, Somia locked the door and going to the small restaurant in the company and it was for staffs only.

Some minutes later, Two of them entered the restaurant. Went straight to where all the food were, took their favorite and sat down on the chair.

"This is my first time here, it's CEO that use to buy food for me"

"Wow!! It means he is a nice man!" Somia just smile and didn't said anything.

"Let talk about ourselves, who should start first!"

"May be you, start first!!" Somia said

"I lost my father when I am a teenagers and our head of the family took over all the small properties that my father left behind, we are average family but with what my father left behind it's enough for my mother to take care of me as the only child. So it was from then that I have start struggle for my self and my mother but now I thank God. The house that my mother is living am the one that built it for her" took a breathe.

"Am a single mother, me and his father had divorced and my mother warned me about him, even she doesn't like him but I think he will change. He is totally an irresponsible man, using emotional blackmail to collect money from me when we are together, after I have left him. He decided to be using my son to collect money because he knows that I can never want my son to be with him for him not to emulate his irresponsible behaviors!" Somia was just looking at her and stopped eating.

"It was when I see that it has been getting out of hand that is why I relocated with my son to this place and find this job"

"That man is an idiot!, how is your son and what it's his name?"

"My son is fine and his name is Tomiwa, he is nine years old. So tell me about you!"

"Our story is almost the same, am the formal Nigerian billionaire child. Yaya Abubakar---"

"Wait you are Yaya Abubakar's daughter!" shouted and quickly cover her mouth.

"Yes but I don't want people to know please. It's my uncle that took over all my father's properties which should be our inheritance, the company, houses and other things. Send us out with my mother, so that is why am working so that my siblings can continue with their education!"

"What! But People don't know that you are in Nigeria, thought that all the family of late Yaya are outside the country!"

"It's after our father's death that me and my siblings came home from London and that is where we are born. It's like a year and some months after that my uncle showed it real him!"

"Am very surprised right now. Then talk to all those reporters, let all those Human Rights fight for you!"

"You want all my family to gone in existence, I know my uncle very well and know what he can do. I know that I will collect all those properties back from him and God will help me!"

"Amen! I too will support you on this. I know how those people use to be, still now all my father's properties is still with our head of family I was unable to collect it from him even my mother just always say 'leave it for him, how much is it now from what you personally as have'!"

"That is it but this one I must collect it back from my uncle. My two months salary now are the one that I will use to pay my siblings school fees and no money again for pocket money and for me too as transport fees!"

"You are my friend and I will support you on that, drop one person school I will pay it----" Somia stopped her.

"Never mind Okay, it's five hundred thousand not just small money. Don't mind okay!"

"I insisted, I will be paying it every year, you are my friend now and it will releave you and money too!"

"Thank you very much, am grateful!"
