Web of Deception [ EDITING !!!]

Ola p.o.v

Today was not my day. I had gone with Micheal to talk things out with Tina but that turned out to be futile just to receive a call from Osas.

I know I overreacted on the phone but I wasn't in the mood for any pitiful talk. I planned to call her later anyway.

On getting to the office, Gerald was already there and he made no mention of yesterday night.

He had thought to help Mr Solape out in the inventory room.

An hour later,  Gerald had shown him where the fraudulent work happened. The numbers of sales weren't adding up to the amount. The sales amount were falsified. Mr Solape hadn't wanted to believe but the evidence of it was there.

Micheal had asked for permission to leave the office. He said he was planning something for Osas and I tried to smother the feelings in me.

I was feeling envious of her. She had always had a smooth life. Anything she wanted she could have. Her dead parents were probably very rich that she got a black card- unlimited funds. she was pretty that she could get and man she wanted but she always shrugged them off. Even Rasaq that I liked used me to get closer to her, although he claimed that his feelings for her had died it still hurt and all she did was to suspect him of everything and the one time I chose to suspect him she doesn't.

who does she think she is ?.

Dad had always preferred her to me anyway, after mom had died she just used to get clingy to him. And just because she managed to be very popular she thinks she can handle everyt-

What am I doing! Why am I thinking like this. Osas is a good sister. She was just looking out for y-

I can look out for my self.

I was finally loosing it. I was talking to myself.

"Seems the manager has nothing to do." I snapped out of my thoughts to see Mr okafor strolling into my office.

"What are you doing in this premises."

"Relax sweet heart. I just came for my other stuff.".

Few minutes after another voice sounded and we both turned to see the owner of the voice.

It turned to be Mr Oyefeso. Marvelous. I groaned inwardly.

Few minutes later Mr okafor left the office. His ego ruined.

What was this man playing at. " Don't expect me to thank you."

Next thing I knew he was apologizing. The all big boss was apologizing.

I didn't want to believe but I had no choice whether I accept the apology or not he still remains the boss.

We talked about work when he got a call. His eyes widned with surprise and I noticed a glint of excitement in his eyes.

The call didn't last for a minute before he rose. "Something urgent came up. I'll be leaving."

Whatever came up didn't look serious in his eyes. Infact he seemed a bit delighted. Maybe it was his fiancee or somebody.

"Okay sir. Thanks for the apology." I said and watched him leave.

I was all alone in my office again. I was feeling restless. I needed something to do. I called line 4,.

"I need the report for the new app being developed." I cut the call and hoped for time to go faster.

Osas P.O.V

I cut the call and stared at the phone. I was afraid that I might divert the topic to Ola if he came but I needed to speak to him about the orphanage.

It was infuriating me that he sounded all pleased and all like the Seyi I knew but nope, that won't decive me. The real Seyi is rude, bossy and proud. Nothing to write home about. I'll just discuss the orphanage with him and we are done.

I entered into the kitchen of my restaurant. The place was filled with the aroma of different dishes.

I met the head chef there, Mr Clinton was his name.

"Can we talk in my office." I told him and we both headed to my office. I sat he stood.

"I see that you have requested for some new equipments for the kitchen." I stared at the paper in my front. It contained list of new stuffs to purchase.

"Yes ma'am. The equipments are beginning to act up."

"We are already entering the weekend. I haven't seen your budget for the foodstuffs that need to be bought. From the crowd that has been here lately I assume we will soon be out of stuffs.

"Yes ma. I have it here." He handed me the list of food stuffs and their price.

I brought out my black card, I trusted him with it. "here's for the food stuff and for the equipments that needs changing I'll check it out and If I see need for a change I'll make order for new ones."

"Okay ma." He bowed slowly and left.

I brought out my jot pad and began to make arrangements for Salewa's wedding.  I checked my schedule for the next week.

Next week wasn't going to be my week. I groaned loudly. I was going to be busy.

My phone rang.

"It's Boma. J got a call from the teacher his constantly vomiting and his eyes...." Ruth cried out hysterically on the phone.

"Ruth calm down and talk."

"I got a call from his teacher, his been vomiting out foam, they said his convulsing so they took him to a hospital and I'm on my way there. What if something happens to Boma." She began to sob again.

"What's the name of the hospital. I'll come over "

"They said Shawland hospital. It's at..."

"I'll be there and Ruth, his going to be okay."

I packed my things hurriedly and Informed my head chef that I won't be around that an emergency had come up and he should give the card to .... My assistant.

I got into the car and Nonso drove off to the hospital.

Not once did I think of Seyi.
