Chapter 22

Sadiq repeatedly tap his foot on the tied floor. He has been waiting for Alhaji Dabo for over 30min now. The secretary already assured him that he was on his way already. Sadiq kept thinking of the reasons why Alhaji Dabo wants to see him. Maybe it's about his constant argument with his daughter , he thought. He just pray it's nothing serious.

He decides to ask the secretary this question he was trying to refrain himself from asking " erm, if I may ask, is the spoilt brat in her office? "

She look at him confused " excuse me?, who might that be? "

He remembers that he was supposed to refer her by her real name. Already, he was now used to calling her spoilt brat.

He rub his neck " I meant Miss Rahama"

The secretary chuckled softly " I knew you were referring to her, I just wanted to be sure. Well she isn't in right now and I pray she doesn't come . She so uhhh" she made a choking sound.

Sadiq was surprised at this new info. Here he thought she is only rude to him and to his surprise, she is also like that with her employees. What a spoilt brat she is.

" Don't be surprise sir, she lacks no manners. Please don't tell anyone I said that" she whispered looking around

He smiled at the lady " relax, I won't. I promise "

She sigh in relief. At that moment, Alhaji Dabo walks out of the elevator while on the phone with one of his clients " you have nothing to be worried about, everything will go smoothly. Have a nice day" he end the call.

Immediately, the secretary ran to his side to receive his bag" Good morning sir"

" Morning Mrs David" he turn to look at the man standing . The secretary excuse herself to go drop Alhaji Dabo's bag in his office.

" you must be Sadiq Muhammad?" sadiq stood up to offer him a hand shake

Sadiq nodded " yes sir. Morning sir"

" Walk with me to my office " said Alhaji Dabo. Sadiq didn't waste any time.

They entered into the office

" sir, i have made copies of the file which is on your desk now and i changed the time of the meeting to 2pm per your request" said the Secretary.

" Thank you,you may get back to your desk now" she nodded and left.

" please take your sit" he said to sadiq and he also went to sit on his chair

Sadiq did as he was told, still confused about what this meeting is all about.

Alhaji clear his throat " I know you might be wondering why I request to see you. To cut the chase short, I called you here to apologize on behalf of my daughter "

Sadiq look totally speechless that a whole Alhaji is apologizing to him,a mere mechanic.

" don't be surprised, I know she has been rude to you in so many ways. You don't need to tell me, I know how my daughter is. She has gone through some rough past and I'm not using that as an excuse to justify her actions." Sadiq just sat, waiting for the Alhaji to finish talking.

" so, I have made a decision to give you a job in my company "

" what!! .... Just like that ?" Alhaji dabo nodded

" I don't even know what to say sir, I can't believe this"

" you better start believing son. Because as I'm speaking right now you can resume work tomorrow "

" but.... But sir you haven't even look into my credentials "

Alhaji Dabo chuckles " I don't need to because my daughter couldn't keep shut about how your credentials are good. Why do I need to check it again when she has"

" she did? " sadiq was surprised and here he thought she still sees him as a thief

" oh yes she did, I know she didn't show her satisfaction the day she interviewed you. She is always like that , she always locks in what she feels"

" wow, this is one big news. "

" yes son it is. I know you and my daughter don't get along but I need you to promise me to try your best to act civil with her. She really is a hard one I tell you and she doesn't know about this. I didn't tell her I was going to offer you this job, so it's going to be like a surprise to her" said Alhaji Dabo already picturing how she is going to react

Sadiq mentally smirk, he just couldn't wait to see her reaction. That coconut head of hers.

" You won't regret this, I promise. "

" I hope so sadiq, I hope so"

" you won't believe what I'm about to tell you" a happy sadiq said to the person at the other side of the phone. When he got out of prestige enterprise, he decides to call his friend in other to share his good news with him.

" Just say it already. I'm working my ass right now " Jafar reply already tired of the stress at the office

" Don't tell me the new boss is really over working y'all ?" ask sadiq,Concerned.

" wallahi, could you believe that I went to the bank for about six time this morning and I'm even going to go back again"

" don't tell me it's that bad"

" very very bad I tell you. So tell me about this good news"

" I now have a job man"

" are you kidding me? "

" wallahi Kuwa, even I myself am still surprise. It's like a dream to me"

" wow!! I'm so happy for you. We got to celebrate it when I get back from work"

" OK o. I'm heading home now "

" OK .But I thought you said you will pay aunty yasira a visit? . "

" yes I will . That will be 2 o'clock . I need some sleep right now "

" well, whatever time you wish to go just don't forget to send my regards "

" Alright then. Better go back to work now" they hang up.

Rahama was indecisive on what to wear. All she wants was to look good in front of Mansir. She has so many clothes but confuse of what to wear. She thought of calling her two friends over but decide against it, she knew how they always ask too much question. It isn't like she was that close to them. She met Maryam and Amina at a gathering and they hit it off quickly as they are similar in nature . They also came from a rich home too .

" uhhhhhh, am so confused on what to wear" she blew out a breath from her mouth .

" what do I do now ?" she asked herself. Should I ask my dad's wife for help? No, no I'm not doing such thing, she shoke the thought .

" I'm doing this myself, I don't even need anybody's help anyways" she said to herself with a shrug.

She picked a dress that has a touch of mint green and pink. She bought it at a boutique in Abuja and has never worn it.

This is the best time to make use of it after all.

The time is almost 2 o'clock , and she needs to be fast before Mansir comes to pick her. Already,she has taken her bath. She put on the dress and behold it was a fit. It really fits her so well. She did her make up herself since she is now perfect at it. She learnt how to from a tutorial on YouTube .

Pretty was an understatement of how she looks, she look gorgeously beautiful. People call her ' a pretty face with a rotten attitude ' . She Is one beautiful lady but with a very bad attitude.

She took her small Vail from the bed and went to put on her 5 inch heels. Her phone bing beside her. It's a text from Mansir

' Am on my way to your house" the text says

She smile while reading it.

She decides to just wait for him in the living room.

On her way to the living room, she crossed paths with aunty yasira

" you look nice" said aunty yasira curtly

" thanks " grunt out Rahama. That is the least they have said this morning.

Aunty yasira smile at the fact that Rahama answer at least. Which signifies that she is opening up to her little by little. Aunty yasira walks straight to her room and Rahama walks down the stairs to the living room.

By the time she was about to sit down, she heard the sound of the door bell. She put on a smile on her face and went to open it thinking it was Mansir.

She counted one to three before opening it and to her surprise ,her worst enemy was there staring at her with the same shock expression she was wearing

" what the hell are you doing here?"

" you again? "

They both said at the same time

Sadiq couldn't help himself but stare at her. She look so beautiful.

" hey Mr, I asked you a question. What are you doing in my house? "

He raise his brows at her " why should I answer that? "

" are you stalking me, Mr mechanic?"

He scoff " what do you take yourself for? The president daughter?. Listen little girl, you don't worth my time so don't get ahead of yourself"

" stop calling me that" she glares at him

" what? You mean little girl? "

" you know what I meant. Just get out of my house "

" what if I don't, will you carry me out? " he smirk, happy to be getting her riled up

" you're unbelievable " she knew she was wasting her time fighting with him.

" why, thank you " he bow

" I wasn't complimenting "

" who cares if you are or not"

" just get out of m.....

" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE "
