Annul The Engagement

Ebitari ended up telling Lanre that it would not be possible since Sharon would need to lie flat on a table but there was none available. And the desk was not an option. Lanre smirked.

“Good for you! You have a week to be tested. Whether you will stay or not will be determined by you. For your convenience, I advise you stay with Sharon rather than coming all the way from Ikotun. It’s far. Coming from Igando is stressful for me, I can’t tell for you”. Lanre said before letting them go. Ebitari would have to start coming to work the next day.

After Ebitari left the shop, Pascal asked Sharon how Ebitari’s interview with Lanre went.

“She said she’s going to test her for one week, but it’s obvious she already gave the girl the job. I don’t know if I should say she’s too soft or she is not thinking. If she employs everybody, she will have to pay everyone. Is she doing charity? We are already six”. Sharon said. Pascal shook his head and walked away from where Sharon stood.

“Uduak, what do you think? Should madam give that south-south girl the job?” Sharon asked Uduak. Uduak frowned at her before reminding her that she was also from the south.

“Me sef na south-south I come from(I’m also a southerner), should they also not employ me?” Uduak asked.

“Uduak, you have already been employed. The question should be if you should get fired”. Aaron said to Uduak before telling them that they should all comport themselves since they will be having customers soon.

K watched the lady seated right in front of him. She was the definition of ebony beauty. He has never watched her this long. But he never made the time for her anyway, not until she had him bound with her threat.

“I knew you were with Lanre. You spent the night with her, but let this be the last you are nice to her. You should never go see her again”. Ify had said to K the day he had returned with Lanre to Lagos. He had just returned from Lanre’s apartment after their hot sex session. It was still stayed on his mind. And he was already looking forward to see her again, but Ify was right there in his place waiting for him. And this was the first thing she had said to him.

“Since you know, you can as well annul the engagement. I do not want to marry you”. K had replied Ify. But she laughed instead. She laughed so hard that K almost believed she was going crazy that day. Then she told him that she no longer cares, he was going to marry her whether he likes it or not. K dared her to make him. She played a video showing his mom on a phone call.

“My mother in-law to be is quite desperate, don’t think? I told her to ask my mother for funds as the CBN manager in Enugu”. Ify had said with a sly smile lying on her lips.
