Episode 38

XANDRA: (????) sir, you are screaming off my ear buds! You either talk to me like a human being, or I terminate this phone call!

I never mentioned it to Deric!!!

MANAGER: Then how the hell did he know, because he contacted the office this morning, asking for his wife's HIV status. Don't tell me it was revealed to him in his dreams!

XANDRA: I am not disputing that! What I'm saying is that I did not tell him. Simple and short!

MANAGER: you are there in London with him! You know about his wife's HIV status. You are probably in an adulterous relationship with him. Hey! Young lady! Don't take me for a fool!

I am taking this matter to HR because I warned you before now!!!!

This is a conduct issue and must be reported immediately! And I'll have the pleasure of reporting It!

XANDRA: just an advice from a young woman with brains older than you are, sir! Ensure you get your facts right before reporting. Otherwise, when I am proved innocent, I shall sue you for every single thing you are worth!

MANAGER: alright then! See you soon, miss hot pants!

XANDRA: the hot pants you've always wanted to get into but can't! Don't think we all forget so soon. All these will come to light soon. I've got everything I need to show that you have other motives for your actions!

MANAGER: cheap blackmail! You think you can threaten me??? You really think you can blackmail me into silence? I will show you that I was born and raised in Nigeria!

XANDRA: and I'll show you what it feels like when a Nigerian and Jamaican blood come together to form a witty girl and then raised her in North London! Bye!
