4 Chapter 4

"Good morning Ms. Olumide" Mr. Samson, the accountant greeted after I knocked and entered his office.

"Morning, Mr. Samson. The MD asked me to get the reports for the last three months" he nodded and swiftly handed me three files.

"Thank you" I took it from him and walked to the elevator.

In less than a minute, I was back on the very familiar floor. I walked to the office and luckily, Jide was laying on the couch, tapping away on my phone.

"What are you looking at?" I asked him as I sat in the chair and spun around to face him.

"Nothing, just posting a few pictures on your barren Instagram" I rolled my eyes and got started on the files.

Thirty boring minutes later, Jide started singing and somehow, I found myself singing along with him.

"And I publish the matter for your sake, you make a man misbehave.

And if na fire for fire indicate o, cos me I no no again" his voice was raspy and mine was just plain bad. I laughed and shook my head before going back to my work.

"My friends and i are going to a club tonight, you coming?" I turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He looked confused as to why I was looking at him.

"I've only known you for a whole day, I'm not even sure Michael w-"

"Fuck Michael! What would you do if you weren't married? Besides, I can't rape you or anything...I still wanna go on a date with you" he adds and I smiled before nodding, ignoring the last thing he said.

"I'll pick you up, yeah?" I nodded.

"Sure"

"Good, send me your address. I saved my name as babe" he winked flawlessly and I laughed, it probably isn't a bad idea.

"Dress code?"

"Dress sexy" he whistled and I rolled my eyes, thinking about the clothes I had to wear.

The telephone rang and I picked it.

"Hello-"

"My office, now" his deep voice cut me off and I sighed, leaning back, pinching my nose.

Jide was still tapping away on my phone so I just stood up and walked out of the office.

I knocked on his door three times and entered. If there was even anything I liked about this mumu, it was his scent...and maybe his office.

"Where are the files I asked you to review?" He asked me, taping away on his plain ugly black Apple laptop.

"My office, Sir" he stopped typing and looked up at me.

"What's that new employee doing then?" He questioned and I rolled my eyed.

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Watch your mouth, Jade" he warned me and I shook my head.

"Did you call me here just to ask that?" I asked frustrated that he made me stand up for some stupid reason.

"Why didn't you just ask him yourself?" I kissed my teeth and spun around, walking myself out of the large office.

"Don't fucking walk out on me, Jade" was the last thing I heard before I slammed the door of the office I shared with Jide.

He eyed me as I walked to my seat angrily.

"Do I even wanna know?" He asked and I just shook my head, feeling the need to cry.

Yes, I was one of the people who cried when frustration hit me in the slightest bit.

"God! I need to go home" I groaned, knowing that it was the wrong decision but anything to spite that stupid dumb-ass.

"Alright, I'll call you yeah?" I nodded and packed my stuff into my bag.

I reached to collect my phone from Jide and he pulled me closer. My eyes widened in shock and he chuckled.

"You're pretty hot when you're mad" he licked his lips and my eyes followed the motion. The room suddenly felt so hot, I noticed how fucking handsome he was.

He had a light beard, that gave his light face a sexy and mature look.

His brown eyes roamed my face and I was suddenly snapped out of my reverie with the door opening.

I jumped and stood up straight. I took a few steps backwards, breathing heavily but my eyes laid on his Adam's apple that bobbed up and down as he look at me.

"What is going on?" Michael asked and I looked towards the door.

I suddenly remembered that I was married and began chastising myself for having those kinds of thoughts.

I knew it was just the beginning.

I had never felt so good with anyone else and somehow, I didn't want this to be the last time it happened.

"I-uh" I cleared my throat and looked at Micheal who looked a little vexed

"I have a headache. I'm going home" I told him and was about to leave. I noticed he was about to hold my wrist but I pulled back.

"I'm going home too, I'll take you"

"Its fine" I walked past him, shutting the door behind me. The door of his office opened and Esther stepped out, looking very disoriented.

It hurt and I didn't understand why.

"What are you looking at?" She snarled and bit my tongue so that I didn't cry.

My life was so pathetic.

"Jade, I'm t-" he stopped as soon as he saw Esther in front of his office, her camisole was missing.

"I'm taking you home" he commanded and walked into his office. Esther scuttled off and I sighed.

"Hey" I heard Jide behind me.

"Yeah?" I spun around and he was rubbing the back of his neck.

"Are we still on for tonight?"

"Definitely" I told him and on cue, Micheal stepped out of his office.

He glanced at Jide who just spun around and walked back into the office.

I walked beside him and we stepped into the elevator, my heart dropping with every floor we passed.
