Chapter 4

By the time Mike arrived the Hotel, Brains and Philip were already taking there first bottle of Heineken beer. He took his seat between them and the waiter approached with a bottle of Chilled water having known it is his first request. He opened the water and took a gulp with a deep breath. The three exchanged hand shake and the agenda for the day was brought up. Brains intimated them on the pricing of crypto and gold which he said is on the growing side and that it is left for them to either sell and make gain or wait for it to go higher. They all agreed to let it move up a bit while Brains should be on the look out to avoid it nosediving.

Mike presented the good news of the company profit and Philip jumped to his feet with a shout of joy.

Mike my man I trusted you and you have proven me right said Philip. 

Thank you replied Mike

Waoooo, this calls for celebration said Brains and he immediately called the bar man to get a bottle of Champagne.

They drank to their success and friendship, while the staff watched with admiration.

Then Mike took the opportunity to ler out the Olivia story.He presented the story from the first day in the lift to the few minutes before coming to the hotel. Philip was surprised to see Mike sound like an 18 year old falling in love for the first time. He wondered why, and advices Mike to thread with caution since he is married, stating that some ladies are better off a fling.

Brains encouraged Mike to go ahead no matter what, who knows, you might have a baby with her he added. What he did not know is that the lady being discussed is his wife to be, he never ecpected Olivia to be in Africa, he had spoken to her the day before even though he had tried reaching her that day, the number was on voicemail. He had experienced it many times and has got used to it. He never knew he was about to get a shocker of his life. His words were well taken by Mike even his promise to make available his house for any meeting and intimacy.

They enjoyed their usual way and when it was 6pm, the ended the meeting and it was time to go. They left in their different cars after huge tips to the staff around including the security at the gate. It is usual and the staff are always expecting it once they are around.

Mike thought of calling Olivia and seeing her before going home. He thought of a hug, or even a kiss from her succulent lips. He imagined what it would be like having a quick one with her. As he thought of this, he parked under a tree and brought out his phone to call her, just immediately, he heard a crash sound behind and his car shook. He opened his door and stepped down to see a taxi guy had hit his tail board and his rear light broken. He asked the young man if he is ok, got back in and drove home. His insurance company will take care of it. His only annoyance is that he wasn't able to call Olivia as he planned and the thought of having a quickie was also spoilt. Little did he know what was awaiting him at home. He slammed on his accelerator and raised the volume of the music while singing along. He got to his gate in few minutes, the gate swung open and he drove in, everywhere was so quiet and he guessed, Pat must have gone out. 

Is this not another opportunity to call Olivia? He thought. As soon as he brought out his phone to dial her number, he had a sweet voice that threw him off balance and his phone fell off his hands.
