Lola parked her car in the parking lot and came out. She walked to the boot and opened it. She brought out a big carrier bag, closed the boot and started walking towards the building. A short dark man ran towards her and collected the carrier bag from her.
“Good morning ma’am.” The man greeted.
“Good morning Erua.” She responded smiling.
“Should I take it to your office or take it to Blessing?” He asked.
“Take it to Blessing. Tell her to see me in the office.” She said.
“Ok ma’am.” He said and walked pass her, almost running.
The sound of her shoe made all the workers run back to their seats immediately and the place became hushed. She entered the building and exchanged pleasantries with the them then ascends to the stairs to her office. She turned the knob and opened the door. She strides and sat on the chair. She picked up the remote control from the desk and switched on the television.
A knock at the door made her turn away from the television. She lowered the volume of the television and dropped the remote on the desk. The door opened and a lady entered.
“Good morning ma’am.” The lady greeted standing in front of the chair facing Lola.
“Good morning Blessing. How was your night?” Lola asked arranging the files on her desk.
“My night went well ma’am.” Blessing replied.
“That is good. Please have a seat.” Lola uttered and flipped her hair backward.
“Thank you ma’am.” Blessing replied. She took two steps forward, drew the chair a little bit backward and sat down.
“Are the clothes ready?” Lola asked putting her right hand on her jaw.
“No ma’am.” Blessing answered fearfully.
“What about the gowns for Tiwatope’s bridal shower?”
“They are almost ready.”
“What have you girls been doing for the past two weeks?” Lola asked annoyingly.
“Sorry ma’am. They will be ready by the end of today.” Blessing responded apologetically.
“They better be. Did Erua give you the fabrics?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“It is a client’s and she want to use it for a wedding next week. She will come for the measurement later.”
“Ok ma’am.”
“You can go now.” Lola said.
Blessing stood up and left the office. Lola picked up a file from the mountain of files on her desk and dropped it in her front. She opened it and started going through it.
After working for almost six hours, she decided to go and eat and freshen up. She decided to go to her favorite restaurant, twenty minutes drive from the office.
