Chapter 31

No one would ever wish to fall on Rahama's bad side. The only person that seems not to be affected by her is Sadiq . So far, he has been the only person that always put her in her place.

He is like her tormentor and she hates the fact that he always gets to her.

The event of yesterday is still deep eating her up. Her dad had been avoiding the topic since yesterday when she confronted him at home. He was able to get pass the topic by lying that he wasn't feeling too well so they should leave the matter till today.

Here she is, right at his office, tapping her foot, waiting for him to finish going through the file he was busy with. And the funny fact was that Alhaji Dabo was only using the file as an excuse to delay the matter. Rahama is a very big headache for him. He was dissapointed when one of his employee had to explain what happened at the office after his absence. Its high time he tells her what she need and what she needed right now is Therapy... She needs therapy, If not ,she will grow old alone coz no man will want a angry woman for a wife.

" Dad you know I'm waiting for you right? " she said annoyingly

He close the file with a loud sigh " you're so impatient "

She scowl " how can I be patient when you took a decision without me. You made me a laughing stock in the office, dad. "

He glared at her " don't forget I'm still your father. So watch how you speak to me "

" sorry " she pout

" Good, now you listen. What is it I heard about you slapping and manhandling an employee? Don't you know that you have no right to touch an employee?!. What made you think that you can do as you wish!"

" but dad, she called me wicked"

" so what if she called you wicked? " he snapped " the act you portrayed yesterday wasn't it wickedness? "

" but dad"

" Stop but dad me. I'm tired of all your troubles. I am sick and tired of it all. The best I could think of was to take away your job, and that was what I did"

Her eyes were now filled with unshed tears" you can't do this to me dad, please. You know how much I love that job"

Alhaji Dabo tries not to allow her tears affect him like how it always does " you should have thought of that before you manhandle that poor lady who is 10 years older than you"

" I'm sorry" her tears flow freely ,down her cheeks.

" the only person you need to apologize to is that lady. I wish she slapped you back, it would have been more better. " he glared at her

" am sorry papa. Please forgive me. "

Papa was what she usually use whenever she wants her dad to forgive her when she does something wrong.

" I'm now papa ?" he said with a brow raise

" I'm sorry. Tell me what you want me to do. I promise, I will. "

This was the particular question he had wanted her to ask

" You need Therapy "

Her eyes almost bulged out " what?! "

" yes you heard me right. You need to see a Doctor . You need help. I shouldn't have allowed you to stop going back then." he shakes his head, regretful

Her lips quivered " are you saying that I'm running mad ,dad? " she couldn't believe that her dad would suggest something like that.

He sigh. He took her hands which were on the table in his " Dear, no one said you're running mad or some sort. " he said, concerned.

" then tell me what you are trying to saying "

" little one, what I'm trying to tell you is that you need someone who will help you to release that anger in you, it's still there. You are too consumed with so much anger and it isn't helping you, it's destroying you"

Her tears were falling harder now " please dad, I don't need any therapy. I swear I will change, please don't make me go for any therapy, please. "

" you need it dear "

She shake her head " no, I don't. I promise to change from now hence forth. Please papa, give me one last chance "

He thought about it for a while. He was now having internal battle with himself, not sure if he should give her the last chance she asked for.

She look at him hopefully as he was busy with his thoughts " please dad. "

He exhaled " I will give you just one last chance, just one. "

Her mouth stretched into a wide smile " thank you papa" she stood up and went to hug him. " thank you"

" but!"

She paused

" but what? "

" you and Mr sadiq have to work together "

" what?!! ....that's not possible dad. How can I work with that lowli—" she noticed her mistakes " I mean, him"

" it either you do as I said or you have nothing . Better decide wisely "

She don't want to but what can she do " OK fine. I will "

" Good, I will asked someone to prepare extra desk in your office "

She blinked her eyes speechless " what?! Why? "

" because you will be sharing the same office too, that's why" he gave her a clip smile

" but da—

" please don't start, Rahama. That is my decision "

She frowned her face " OK fine" she left the office without saying another word

Alhaji Dabo wonders where she got that anger of hers. He doesn't have it , even his late wife also does not have it. So where did it all come from?. he guess it because she is over pampered

***

" she just left my office few minutes ago and I must say, she didn't take it all too well. Please, Just try to cope with her and sorry once again for putting you in this kind of situation " said Alhaji Dabo, apologetically

Sadiq only looked amused at all that had been said to him. He never once imagine that he will be sharing the same office with the spoilt brat. Who would have thought !

" You don't need to apologize sir, in fact I should be the one thanking you for giving me a job. I also promise to try my possible best to behave civil with your daughter " more like, put her in her place when she becomes sassy

Alhaji smile impressed with Sadiq " you really are one intelligent young man. I'm so impressed. This are the kind of people I like working with."

" it's my pleasure, Sir. "

" less I forget, I also want to thank you for saving the lady from my daughter's clutch , yesterday. If it wasn't for you, I'm sure the lady would have ended up in a hospital "

" its nothing to thank me for, Sir. I just did what was needed to be done."

" All the same, keep up the good work"

" I sure will"Sadiq stood up " if you may excuse me sir, I need to go prepare my desk"

Alhaji nodded " you're excused young man and don't forget what I just told you" alhaji said while shaking a finger warningly

" I won't forget " he nodded

Sadiq went out after that. He walks straight towards the direction of his new office. Who would have thought that the same office which he came for an interview days ago and was also insulted in it would be his new office? Fate.

So many thoughts kept swirling in his head. His only prayer is that she doesn't makes him run mad before his two months get completed because there must just be a time when he can possibly get fed up with all her drama! . Most especially if they would be staying in the same office.

" Good day sir" some group of ladies greeted. He glance their way.

How can he forget these ladies!!! , note the sarcasm. When they wouldn't stop gawking and swooning over him. He has been the topic of the day in the office among the ladies . The new hot manager as they refer him.

" Goodday" he responded with a small smile. While the ladies were already over the moon at his response. He was only following the drill, sometimes one need to loosen up a bit and enjoy the moment. Exactly what he was doing.

" Sir, are you g___

A clearing of throat interrupted the ladies

" Enough with all the flirting, go back to your work post" commanded, the she devil herself. She stood intimidatingly glaring from one lady to another. While sadiq look surprised.

The ladies felt bad for getting interrupted but nevertheless obeyed their boss lady. Sadiq turn around to come face to face with Rahama with a smirk plastered on his handsome face.

" I see, someone is already getting jealous " he cockily said

She scoff " jealous of what? You? Please don't flatter yourself " she folded her arms

He raise a brow " Stop deceiving yourself spoilt brat. Or_" he stopped like someone who just remember something " or are you scared that you are likely not going to be sharing a office with me?" he wiggles his brows

She looks at him with narrowed eyes" God forbid. I will be so glad if you don't, who needs you anyway. I don't even know why dad employed you. You don't deserve the post at all"

He walk two feet towards her leaving one feet away from her " so tell me, who do you think deserve the post? You? "

" of course me" she said with so much confidence

He only chuckled mockingly and left her front to their office. She stood confused at why he was laughing at her. Don't I deserve the post?,she thought.

" of course I do" she answered her thought and then walk inside the same office sadiq went into.
