Chapter 14

Temisa sigh after Martin left her.

She knows he won't support her like she has thought.

"Hmm" she grit her teethes in anger as she shakes her leg sitting on the couch.

"He cares for Felicia more than me his own sister. They all care for Felicia, Why?!" she scream out in anger as she stare back to the television displaying her favorite bollywood movie.

"Argrrh!" she stand up angrily and pick up the television remote from the center table to switch off the television and she walk back to her room upstairs to chat with Anita.

She misses Anita so much and wish Anita can come living with her as Anita doesn't also like her family, just like her.

She miss her school life where she won't get to see Felicia or her mother showing the silly white witch love.

"Argrrh!" She grit her teethes again and scatter her hair as she step into her room and slam her room door hard.

Martin's in his room and he can hear her grunting and screaming.

He shake his head knowing she's still refusing to work with his father's new boss and he pity her frustration.

He sigh and switch on his laptop as he have some important works to do and he's glad he has finally confessed his heart to Felicia and he knows it will take time for her to understand and accept him in return.

He doesn't plan to force himself on her, but he cannot also stop himself from loving her.

Seeing her daily makes him restless in love and he want to pull her closer and seal his lips on hers.

Standing so close to her he could feel his member hardening and he want to pleasure her too.

He rake his short hair again and decide to concentrate on his work before he will start having unnecessary hard-on thinking about Felicia alone.

Temisa slam herself on her bed and scream out again, as she roll on top of her bed and finally sit up.

She pull her laptop from the shelf top and bring it closer to herself on the bed and switch it on, waiting for it to finish booting.

She want to see the CEO first and to also check her email before finally giving Anita a call.

As is already late, she wonder why Anita hasn't even called her yet to check up on her too.

"This so unlike Anita" She says as she stare to her room wall-clock time seeing is already past 10pm.

Her laptop finally finish booting and she controls it to check on her email first. Clicking it open, she reads thru the email she receives.

"They really accept my application letter, or they didn't even read thru the letter I sent" Temisa murmur as she silently read their response.

"I intentionally wrote nonsense so they won't accept me to come work with them, God!" She scream out again and tuck her hair strand of braid sideway, that has fallen to her face and behind her ear.

She take out a book and pen from the top of her drawer and writes down the company's address as she doesn't even know where the company is, even as she knows her father works with them.

She writes down the address as the company sent her the email to resume with them on Monday the following week and to ensure to be on time as early as 7am - 8am sharp and after 8am there will be a deduction in her monthly income and her cheque pay is relatively high like her brother said.

The company promises to pay her 200k (Two hundred thousand) as a starter and gradually her salary will be increasing depending on her diligence and hard work in building the company's name.

Temisa sigh and click on accept to verify that she has accepted their email response to her.

She doesn't have a choice and she's also broke and cashless as her father haven't credit her account yet, like he usually does.

She decide to check thru the company name and social media page online to see them and she search them out and sees a lot of news and blog pages covering latest news about the new CEO of the multimillion dollar company.

She click on one of the ladies protesting in front of the company video at the early hours of the day.

"The new CEO is too mean. Who does he think he is?. Saying all his female staffs to wear oversize suits or clothes to work, no tight clothes allowed, why?. We thought is a joke and now we aren't allowed into the company except we dress shabby and dull to his taste."

Temisa brows furrows as she watch some of the ladies protesting rants.

"What do you have to say about this protest?" The interviewer ask a man that has the company's name pinned on his suit top.

"Your name please?" The interviewer ask the man again.

"Am Mr Steven Morris assistant head in the production department. I can understand the ladies and female staffs rants, but you should note its an individual owned company and every other organizations have their own dress code. Here's a working organization and the staffs are to dress responsibly to ensure proper focus on their jobs."

"Mr Steven are you saying that the female staffs are formerly dressing irresponsibly before?" The female interviewer ask him.

"No, not really, and like I said rules are to be adhere to here. The company isn't seizing any of the female workers salaries and those who quits before the month ends, next week they will be paid in full, that's all I have to say to the general public for now, Thank you."

Temisa brows furrows as she watch some of the videos from the news blogs online covering topics of the BENSON'S NEW CEO, As that's the top trending Hashtags trending on the social platform in their country and the netizens are going crazy about it.

Some are seen commenting in favour to the new CEO, commenting stuffs like, "Yes, women like playing victims, You're to dress responsible to work and not trying to seduce your boss."

Another wrote, "You will see a female staff leave her cleavage on full exposure, how do you expect your boss or clients to focus seeing all those watermelons."

Another wrote, "If every organization can adopt this dress style of women wearing loose and not to tight outfit to work, then their won't be any quickie or office romance going on in our word today."

Temisa shake her head in disbelief, some are supporting and some are opposing to the trends and she decide to see who the new CEO really is, As so far she haven't seen him or any of his trending photo online or him granting interviews. As is rather his staffs or senior heads in his company that's granting the interviews on his behalf.

She click on his company name and search thru the company photos and she doesn't see any photo of him either and when she click his profile name, as she sees a lot of people tagging him and calling him out as one of the best CEO to emerge in Nigeria and trying to make the country a better place, she enter his profile and his numbers of followers keeps increasing even as he isn't online or posting any updates.

She click on his photo to see his face and she sees is actually a throw-back photo of him taken 6-8 years ago and she stare at him, as the photo wasn't taken in Nigeria and she wonder why he even returned back to disrupt the country's peace.

She zoom the photo to stare at his face properly as in the photo his wearing a white long sleeve and black plain trouser and he hold his suit jacket in his hand looking handsome and dark.

She slide to the next photo to see him and still he's in full suit, another he's wearing a thick sweater and short Jean nikka as he wears canvas to march with his hoodies.

They're all his throwback and she realize she has spent so much time, staring at his old photos and down to when he first join the social media platform.

She frowns and check the wall-clock time again, seeing is already past 11pm, she wonder if Anita is still awake as she want to call Anita to find out if Anita still sent her own letter of application to the company too.

She quickly pick up her mobile phone and dial on Anita's number and it rings and connect.

"Hello Temisa," Anita says in a low voice as she sit up on her bed.

Glory is fast asleep and she doesn't want to wake Glory up as the phone rang out loudly.

"Can't sleep tonight, this one you're calling me this late?" Anita ask, as she stand up from her bed and walk to sit on the sofa in her room.

"Not really, I just want to check up on you, You didn't even placed a call across to me throughout today, Why?" Temisa ask too.

"Am sorry, I have been busy and a lot happened today that's why I haven't called you yet, to give you any update."

"What happened?" Temisa ask and she hear Anita sigh.

"Its a long story and if I should start now telling you all that now, we might not sleep for tonight" Anita says and Temisa replies, "Am sorry girlfriend, Hope you're fine now?."

"Yes, a little better and having hope for better tomorrows."

"Anita..." Temisa hums her name.
