I have been working at Oxford Marketing and advertising communication for two weeks now, I like to say that name too much in English, it sounds good. You wonder how it's been since he was 14 weeks old, well nothing has changed, Mr. Oxford is still so boring. He asks me to do things that I don't even know and gives me no direction, you have to see me running around the offices to find out. Working under these circumstances is not at all comfortable. Me, I used to discuss with my bosses, ask them questions, communication has always been there but with this one it's the opposite, he never says anything and demands results. He speaks badly to me as if I were his child that annoys me but I stay calm I digest. The time to return is then exaggerated sometimes it is at 8 p.m. that I go home it's not normal it's not because I'm not married or he thinks that I have no responsibility that it gives him the right to keep me like that and often it's for nothing. I am there doing nothing but I cannot return because his Excellency is still there stuippp hogwash. During her few days I got very close to Mrs. Edimo she is very sympathetic this woman, unlike the accounting secretary she takes the head or she believes that she is beyond me with what ohh I do not know, in any case I do not care crazy about her, as the gentleman said we are not here to make friends but to work. I have noticed that in the company many are young, the age range is 23 to 40 years. It's good that he employs young graduates, I like that. At least on this side it is effective. I take my break with Madame Edimo she came to pull me, we are in a restaurant outside. Monsieur hasn't been here since morning and I breathe a little. We each took a braised fish hummm yum yum. I eat like this to go to sleep at the office, I pray that sir does not come. We eat while chatting I look at my phone all the time to see the time which catches Mrs. Edimo's attention
_ are you waiting for a call?
_ no I'm looking at the break time I don't have to stay outside for a long time sir can arrive at any time
_ apparently you are afraid of him
_ serious he frustrates me
_ hahahaha and yet he is a very nice man he is nice he does not bother
_ what ? You're sure we're talking about the same person
She takes her glass of water and drinks before resuming
_ I tell you in all sincerity. Yes he is strict he likes when the job is well done like any boss but personally outside the work environment he is a beautiful person
_ Hmmm so he's tough on me, eh. For a boss, he doesn't behave well, he stresses me out, I assure you, it's uncomfortable
_ you'll get used to it. Since he lost his wife he has changed
_ eh what?. he lost his wife?
_ ah no sorry I meant to separate, divorce what, not that she died.
_ Ah OK. At the same time who could take such a boring husband
_ haahahaha
She wipes her mouth with a tissue before resuming
_ Sorry to tell you that it was not his fault. His wife was unfaithful to him according to the information I received from Mr. Bob
_ hummm
_ eh yes. This separation affected him greatly. It made him a little hard, in a bad mood but deep down she's a beautiful person
_ he has children?
_ two boys who live with their mother.
_ he therefore needs a woman who will often relax him
_ he sees some girls. I'm making a kongossa for you. I already met a friend of his in his office they looked like people who just did something and the office smelled like it you know
_ haahhahaha the thing eh you're terrible
_ I tell you the truth. In any case you will see for yourself. All I can tell you is to be patient, get to know him you will find a good person. the girl who was there before you left because of her bad moods she was very sensitive, don't be. Serve the heart and you work you respect the instructions, the internal regulations the rest does not interest you you close your eyes
_ ok ohh.
I wash my hands as I imagine how he came to terms with his wife's betrayal. It must have been a tough blow for him. Ah, being the first to get a divorce doesn't give him the right to treat people with so much contempt. We returned to the company, each went to their office. I go to work there are letters to send, he has received documents for signature. A few minutes later, the phone rings, he's there. But how I did not follow him arrive. I go to his office. He is standing in front of his window as always, apparently he likes to stay there to observe the outside, he wears a gang of afritude with a nice pair of moccasins, it smells of money from a distance. I find him very elegant in his outfit. if he was nice I was going to pay him compliments.
_ Yes sir
It's always with his back turned that he talks to me
_ where are the documents that have been sent
_ it's with me sir
_ what does it do with you. Or I have to go get them
_ no sir I bring them to you
_ kindly prepare the files of the organic store and that of chocobar we have a meeting with the managers
_ OK sir.
He doesn't even turn around, damn this man wins me over. I will do whatever is necessary, I work quickly so that he is not late for the meeting, he left at 3 p.m. and I said hallelujah, he is not coming back this way so I will get back on time tonight. I send the message to my sister to tell her to remove the fish from the fridge I will prepare myself I don't like when she does. My father doesn't eat anything, he pays attention to his diet, so I prefer to cook myself. When Moussa goes north he comes back with a lot of meat and fish for me so I don't miss any. This is one of the things that I will miss when he gets married.
Time passes and I move forward in my work I watch for the watch at all times. Soon 5 pm I have already arranged my bag at 30 I am hoping that Mrs. Edimo has also finished like that she shortens the way for me. i am my boss's door opening, ekieeee what is that i hope he didn't come back. Bad luck, he's here. I'm mad, I'm furious. my intercom rings pffff it's him I'm going. He's even paler than this morning.
_ Yes sir
He hands me a document with handwritten notes. He adds
_ I need a report right now
_ Yes sir
I go to my office, my throat wants to explode. He scribbles unreadable stuff on the paper, he asks me to report it that I'll say what, what I was Out there stuippp. It's already 5pm I have to come home bad luck. I'm trying to put together everything he mentioned on the format papers. It's really rubbish because I do not understand anything ... the idea occurred to me to call mister Bob they were together I pick up the phone and call his office. Chance he picks up
_ Yes
_ uhh sorry to bother you sir but I have a concern Mr. Christ asks me to report the meeting where you were but he did not give me anything concrete I do not know if you have any elements that could be useful
_ ok come and get it, I think I took some notes
_ thank you very much
I hang up and hurry out. There is my savior. I retrieve his notes and go back to decipher them. They are more consistent and readable. I start writing the report I'm not even focused on time if I should be pulling out stuippp. My door opens, a beautiful woman enters, clean, very dark the kind we see in the series with an impeccable make-up. She wears a fairly light dress and heels, her outfit makes me understand that she is neither a client nor a partner nor of the family, in short, she looks like a good friend to me. Let's see what she wants. I answer his good evening with his baby voice
_ Good evening madam. what can I do for you
_ I would like to see mister christ we have an appointment
_ ah, OK. The name for me to inform him
_ whim
Ikiiiii the name of the beubeu ngue caprice eh ah. Himself has the tastes eh. I call him he takes his time to pick up.
_ what is there
Listen to how he responds to me this man has what problem he can not be normal?. It is still the power there yichhhhh
_ excuse me for disturbing you mademoiselle caprice has arrived
_ let her come in
He hangs up, had I finished ... Hmmm, I'm keeping my cool. The lady in front of me looks at me like she's waiting for a result from my mouth that will change her life
_ you can go
_ thank you
She goes shaking her buttocks that soon make you cry hihihihi. I still find her nice, she's not Naughty like him. I wonder how she can take it, as long as there is money a woman can take a monster. I follow the laughter in his office, eh ah they are already having fun. I even want to go and watch fortunately my father raised me well. The intercom rings again I pick up
_ Yes sir
_ You can dispose
And he hangs up. I can leave means that I can leave is not. So as he wants to stay with his darling, he chases me away. In any case it is not to displease me I was already angry. I save the work I have already done and turn off the machine. I arrange my bag without forgetting anything. I take the keys to close the door. While I was closing I see a young girl in front of me she is just as smiling and pretty as the previous one
_ Yes Madam
_ Please, is Mr. Chris here?
_ uhhh you have an appointment?
_ no I was passing in the corner and I thought of coming to say good evening to him. I saw his car outside
Hmmm apparently she's another friend. How can I do ? Aka it's her problem for all the harm he's been doing to me for two weeks, I'm going to let her in
_ uhh ok he is there you will go through his door mine is already closed and please, you did not see me you entered alone okay
_ of course thank you
She goes straight to her chef's hat and enters. And I will stick my ears on the door I am the loud voices he asks her what she is doing there, has her to ask him why this girl is sitting on her feet hihihihi I would like to be an ant to slip under the door and observe them. I'd rather run away it can cook on me here if he knows I'm still here. I'll take a motorbike and go home.
Arrived at the house I find my father with my sister. My father's clothing shows he was out
_ you were outside dad
_ yes I had also just entered. Your uncle is in the city
_ uncle Emma?
_ Yes. He will be there this weekend so prepare him a good meal, he hasn't seen you since so this is the opportunity to do it before heading west
Eh ah I put my bag on the table first before answering him
_ tell your brother dad to eat at his place before coming here and if he wants to see us too much he waits for the family reunion
Lydie bursts out laughing so much to say that my father is astonished by my reaction, it does not take long to point out to me
_ but why are you talking like that. It's about my little brother, I'll call you back
_ and what does it do to me? I'm not preparing anything for him. Your brother is too mean. You participated in his entering the grandes écoles you gave of your time you brought in knowledge so that he is where he is today ... but since you no longer have anything he will turned his back. I called Uncle Emma how many times to help me when you were lying in the hospital. He had the audacity to tell me that I'll call you back I'll let you know and then nothing, twice dad. I called him about Lydie's board, I just wanted him to pay half and me the other half he told me? Ohh I will let you know so far nothing. Tell him not to put his paws here I'll say two words to him
_ hummm.carla I understand your pain ... you know everyone is not as you would have hoped he is my brother and I can not throw him even if he behaves badly
_ papa it's your brother to you stay there with him, me and the family it's over like that the day we see each other we saw each other don't wait for me at your place and don't come to your house me. I suffered here to get you out of the hospital I got into debt everywhere nobody to help me the family where was where? He wants to see us are we in concert? That he stays at his place he has the money today that he knows that you even had some and you lost everything so that he takes advantage of his bad luck moment of glory. On weekends I'm not there, don't look for me and no one comes into my kitchen.
_ go rest please you had a bad day
_ I said what I had to say
I carry my bag and go to the bedroom. Me and the family it was good. Today I prefer friends because they help you at least unlike the family, it's every man for himself. I'm no longer there to show my teeth with them ... When they needed help my father was always there for them but in turn no one handles it. I was lucky that her older brother agreed to help me with Lydie's boarding school, the training school is expensive, I was not going to get by. It's always how they are after when he dies you will see them in the village ready to give testimony eh ah me if the way that I love my father you only try to make fun of him I class you with two words. Ngue family and then whatever awaits us in the village.
I change and go to the kitchen wondering how the evening ended with my boss and his friends hahahaha I died laughing. Me in his place, I organize once a 3 plan hahahahahaha.
TO BE CONTINUED...
