chapter 28 TWO DATES

Talk to me Ijey, is it that bad? spit it out! Ayanna cajoled.

You know my boss right? Ijey asked, do you? you should remember him, you were the one that got us that contract with A. Jawil Enterprises in our final year and he is the one that employed me after that project once I graduated to work in his company.

Yes I know the man, what about him? is he pulling funny stuff with you? Ayanna asked, no not at all he didn't do anything to me but his son, he...he...acted weird today, ok lemme explain properly. Ijey took in gulps of air in and out in a dramatic way then continued. The chairman's son is our present Ceo and his name is Shen Yi, he is a tall and really cute guy but he has always been cold to everyone, I mean I practically avoid him except during Monday meetings where all directors set their target for the week and when it comes to my department I make it simple and short. Then this morning after my presentation he asked me to wait after the meeting I was surprised but since it was not strange I waited I taught it was work related...I mean...Ijey shuttered a bit, you mean it wasn't about work? Ayanna asked.

Hey babe!! it wasn't about work at all Ijey replied.

Then it's about what? ok go on please, Ayanna encouraged.

After the meeting, he stood up walked over to the settee in the conference room and sat down he then asked me to do the same by then he had asked everyone to leave, I went and sat down.

He then dropped it on me, that he liked me and he really would like me to be his girl friend and since he know its sudden for me he would like to start gradually with a date then he asked me to choose a date, I then choose Thursday evening seeing that we will be busy setting up the computer room, Ijey explained to Ayanna.

Lemme asked you then Ayanna said

Go on, what do you want to ask Ijey replied

So you are now Ceo Shen Yi's girl friend right? Ayanna asked.

I guess yes, since I agreed to the date. Ijey answered.

Wow! congratulations sister maybe we are twins you know, I wish you the best Ayanna exclaimed.

You think its ok for me to go on a date with my cold boss? Ijey asked.

Off course, why not? wait was he cold to you while he was asking you out? Ayanna inquires.

Not at all sister, he looked like a school boy asking a girl out for the first time and both of them giggled.

My advice, relax and enjoy it, get to know him better and start with the dinner date Ayanna finished.

You know someone also asked me out today, while I was out at the mall, my own story is even more weird I have not even said yes yet and some gladiator are already out for my head.

I don't understand you Ayanna, what are you saying? Ijey asked

Today while eating a very delicious plate of rice and crab stew a very handsome black guy with the most mesmerizing pair of eyes approached me, he introduced himself as Ade square by name and that he came to the mall with some of his friends for a business meeting but that he saw me and was attracted and he would like to be my friend but since both of us were busy today we should have a date of which we agreed that the date should be on Thursday evening so I gave him my number and he left to tell you the truth he had the presence of a Prince but I will find out more later.

All the while Ayanna was speaking Ijey had her palm over her mouth ....wait! you also met someone today..and ...and you also have a date for Thursday are you aware that we have dates on the same day? Ijey asked.

Its a beautiful coincidence isn't it? Ayanna replied, but the story isn't finished yet o, do you know after we finished eating, i mean Ken and myself we went shopping for one or two things, then we headed outside the mall to board our car in the park I assisted Ken to load all our buys into the car then we moved off, you needed to see how a lady blocked us with her car if not for the Almighty we would have collided, I mean we would have had a bad accident,....what!!! Ijey cut in, I tell you dear she was cool like she was not shaken by the incident, I was so relaxed I wasn't expecting the collision, we were utterly taken by surprise we rushed out to see if she was ok, guess what?

what? I can't guess anything right now, Ijey replied.

She stepped out all smiling, like we were shooting a movie, unruffled. She then said something about staying away from her man or next time won't be easy.

Are you narrating some movie for me or this really happened? Ijey asked

Ayanna continued, What movie? it happened, so I advised her to speak to the man in question so she can find some mind peace instead of all these James Bond moves, so I turned to leave, she grabbed my arms and whirled me around and as I turned I gave her slap across the face what nonsense then I entered the car and we left. I really taught she will chase after us but she was just standing there staring after our car.
