Ola p.o.v

I was in front of  a small wooden house. Sulieman house. It was time I had a word with him. He had said that I sent him home which I didn't remember doing. Something was up.

I knocked on the door.

"Who be that?." ( Who is that)  A male voice sounded.

The door creaked open and Sulieman popped his head out.

"Ahh madam !" He tried to close the door back but I held it in time.

"Why are you avoiding me.?" I asked as I opened the door wider.

He was dressed only in a red shorts.

"I was not expecting you." He said stepping out of his house.

"We need to talk." I noticed that he was avoiding my eyes.

"Madam I get nothing to say." (I have nothing to say.)

"Oh but you do Sulieman. You have a lot of explaining to do starting from the lie that you told oga Micheal and the others."

"Which lie?."

"Your asking me which lie. Did I ever tell you to go home that night?."

He scratched his hand." Yes ma."

"Your very mad."

He looked up at me. Jaw ajar. "Me mad?."

"Yes you. You will tell me when I told you to go home."

"Madam you can't just remember."

I held his shorts.

"Ahh! Madam !"  he exclaimed as he tried to remove my grip.

"You see the cloth I wore today." I said as I tugged his shorts.

I was dressed in a black joggers and a  camouflage shirt.

"I'm ready to fight you just to hear the truth from your mouth."

"Madam abeg. I dey tell you the truth."

I slapped him." Your still lying eh?"

He held his face surprised. " Madam please." He pleaded.

"Will you say the truth?"

"Walai I'm saying the truth madam you told me to go home."

His face looked like he wasn't lying but it didn't make sense.

Had I told him to go home?. Was I engrossed in my work not to notice?.

No. I would have remembered.

"Your lying!" I held his shorts tighter.

"Madam wetin I go gain say I lie to you ?" (What will I gain by lying to you?.

What will he really gain. I wondered.

"Madam when you talk say make I go home you look like as if your work busy." (When you said I should go home you were intrigued in your work.)

That can only be the reasonable answer.

"Are you sure Sulieman cause If I find out the truth I will not hesitate to fire you."

He smiled." Madam I no dey lie." (I'm not lying)

I let go of his short." I want you back at work first thing tomorrow."

"Yes ma."  I strolled back to my car.

I need to find out who hacked my computer but how can I do that. Micheal will not be willing to help me and Rasaq also but what if it is Rasaq or maybe Michael. But while why Michael go through all this stress.
