Chapter 5 Anger

The sky grew darker, if she wasn't sure enough earlier that it is going to rain, now she is. She does not hate the rain, infact she loves it. But she prefers to be in the comfort of her home when it's raining, putting on baggy sweatpants and sweat shirt and laying on her soft bed, watching true crime documentary.

In a few minutes she will arrive at the company she works. She turned the car wheel and took a right turn. She glanced at the time on the wrist watch on her wrist. Its 7: 30am. She sighed in relief, thirty minutes more. She'll definitely make it before then, and prepare the coffee for her boss before he arrives. Gosh, that man has anger issues, he is time conscious and hates even the simplest act of slacking off. She had to be full on the act of being seriously ill, if not, he would never have given her the two weeks leave.

Just then, heavy breeze indicating the severity of the rain about to fall, started. It was so sudden and heavy, nylons were flying up in the air and the trees were swinging side by side with full force. Lucky for Love. She reached her destination just in time. She parked her car in the parking lot and grabbed her bag and files in the passenger seat. She pulled down the mirror view of the car and checked her appearance. She looked good, not so good, but she didn't look bad. Her eyes looked a little bit puffy due to all the crying, despite the eye mask she used while getting ready for work, it was still puffy. She groaned in frustration. She smiled at herself in the mirror and blew a kiss. She closed it up and pushed the mirror view back up. She turned the door open and stepped out of the car. She closed the door behind her and used her car key to lock the door. She made her way to the entrance and walked up the glass stairs. The security guards gave her a smile, and she responded in a nod, as usual. She made her way to the elevator, where she stumbled upon Oyin.

She cursed inwardly and managed a fake smile as she stepped into the elevator. She pressed floor 9 on the button and looked at Oyin who she noticed is staring at her.

"Morning ", Oyin said with a fake smile plastered on her face which Love is aware of.

"Morning ", Love said.

"It's nice to have you back", Oyin said. "It's been two weeks".

"I was on leave", Love said.

"Almost thought you got fired", Oyin said with a chuckle. "I'm glad you didn't ".

"Sure you are", Love said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

"Isn't two weeks too much?" Oyin asked. "You have a priority as an employee, you shouldn't let your personal life get in the way"

"Excuse me?" Love said confused and perplexed as she looked at Oyin.

Oyin smiled, and her beautiful black eyes and dimples complimented her.

"Just because your boyfriend dumped you doesn't mean you should abandon your job".

"What?" Love said, her eyes shone with shock. How did she know the reason she has been absent from work is because Colin broke up with her?

"Yes sweetheart", Oyin said. "That was just a future advice, incase it happens again".

She bit her lips in anger. Oyin was obviously mocking her. She meant that just like Colin dumped her, someone else will do the same.

"I was ill", Love said. "That's what happened".

Oyin laughed.

"Such a liar", she said. "Your puffy eyes are evident of that. Aww, poor Love has been crying her eyes out".

"You bitch", Love gritted her teeth.

"Are you angry?" Oyin asked with a smile.

Love scoffed and wondered when they will arrive at the 9th floor. She is so sick of being in the same room as Oyin.

"Lo...

"If you utter one more word i will tell everyone about how i saw you sprawled on the boss's desk with him fucking your whore ass".

Oyin's face paled.

Love was glad to see that, finally that stupid smile on her face is gone. She smirked at her.

"I will them how much of a slut you are", Love said.

"You wouldn't dare", Oyin said.

Just then, the elevator door opened. Love smiled at Oyin.

"Oh i would", Love said. "Stay off my back, keep kissing everyone's asses like you usually do, leave me out of your drama, and I won't say a word about it".

Love walked out of the elevator and Oyin glared at her back as she watched her walk away.

"Bitch", Oyin muttered under her breath.

How did she find out about her affair with the boss? Did she see it happen or was she told by someone? She hopes she saw it herself, because if she was told by someone then it means someone else knows her secret and might expose her. She really hopes not.

**********

Love walked down to her office with the sound of her heels clicking against the tiled floor. She is wearing a knee length fitted blue skirt, with a strapless white top, paired with a blue fitted blazer. Her fingers are hooked on a gorgeous black Chanel bag. On her neck laid a beautiful silver chain, her ears were also hooked with silver earrings. Her beautiful brown long curly hair is packed up in a tight bun with bangs at the front, shielding her forehead. Her lips are adorned with brown lipstick and an addition of lip gloss on the surface, making her lips look attractive. She barely has any makeup on her face, just a touch of mascara, making her already long lashes, longer and letting her big brown eyes pop up in an attractive way. To sum it all up, she looked simple, yet elegant and beautiful.

As she walked into her office, she looked at the time on her wrist watch. It is 7:50am, she has seven minutes to make coffee and sandwich for her boss and three minutes to prepare the files he requested for two weeks ago, before her leave. She immediately dropped her hand bag on her desk and pulled out the drawer next to a small table. She took out a file and walked over to her desk to pick up a file beside her bag. She switched the contemts of the two files, just as he had requested. Then she left them on her desk.

She made her way out of her office and to the cafeteria. She immediately prepared the coffee, she's spent three minutes doing that, and the rest of the four minutes, she prepared the sandwich and placed it in a tray along with the coffee. She picked up the tray and made her way to the boss's front door, awaiting his arrival. She is his personal assistance, and responsibilities such as making breakfast before his arrival is important, getting the files he requests for, arranging them, booking and canceling appointments, accompanying him to important events. Gosh its so much work, but the pay is good so its worth it. She gets paid nine hundred thousand naira per month and she has been working here for the past two years. She's practically a mini millionaire herself.

Just as the clock struck 8:01am. Mr Jeffery Davis walked out of the elevator with Mr Micheal beside him.

"Good morning sir", Love said with a smile.

"Coffee", he said coldly.

Love held the tray with one hand and picked up the cup of coffee. She handed it over to him. Mr Micheal turned the door open and Jeffery walked into the office.

Love handed the tray to Micheal.

"Serve him", Love whispered. "I need to go grab the files he requested".

Micheal nodded.
