I nearly said I would, but when I imagined what the countenance of Bimbola Akorede would be, and how disappointed Maria Shitta would look, I withheld my assent.

‘Give me a little bit of more time,’ I said, wishing I could take it up. The money was tempting, but sometimes, other exigent matters override pecuniary gains.

‘The job will wait for you,’ he said. ‘I know you’ll still take it up.’

Later, I told Tina about the man’s persistence.

‘You’re very lucky, aren’t you? Many ladies will be praying to be in your shoes.’

I nodded. ‘Yes, but the fact remains that I can’t take it. I think I’m the one wasting time over this matter. All I have to do is tell him straight forward that while I appreciate his kind gesture, I can’t take it.’

‘Wait a minute,’ Tina said. ‘What if I tell him that I’m willing to take it up?’

I stared at her in surprise. ‘Are you sure about what you’re saying?’

‘Of course.’ She smiled. ‘Since the offer is better than what I have now, I don’t mind. What do you say to that?’

I thought briefly. ‘But you’re just about four months on this job. You mean you’ll just leave it like that?’

‘Why not? Mola owns an oil marketing firm. He is swimming in money. Why should one not be willing to be part of that affluence? Tell him, that
you cannot take up his offer, but that I, Tina, am ready.’

I suddenly shrugged. ‘Okay. I’ll tell him.’

Later in my office, I put a call to Damola Koku.

‘Good afternoon, Mola. I hope all is going very well.’

‘All is well. There’s no problem, my dear.’

‘I called you in respect of that P.A offer.’

‘Good. When’re you starting?’

‘No, I’m not the one taking it. It’s my good friend, Tina that is humbly willing to accept the offer.’

There was a long pause and I wondered if the line had disconnected.

‘Hello? Are you still there?’ I asked.

‘Yes, I’m here. How could you tell that Tina will be a good P.A?’

‘I think she will. First, she’s my boss here, and she’s doing very well. Two, she’s good in coordinating and organizing things. In simple expressions,
she combines beauty with brain.’

There was another long pause. ‘Are you sure you don’t want to take the job? If you want me to increase the pay, I will do so, right now.
Besides, remember there are many other perks that you will enjoy. I will ensure you get the best that is obtainable in the industry.’

‘See, sir, (yes, I used ‘sir’ that very moment) the main obstacle is the fact that my present employer is a good friend of my mother and is like a
mother to me. She was the one that brought me to Lagos, from my Ibadan base. I can’t just leave her and the job within few months of working
for her.’

There was a short silence. ‘Alright. I understand, now. It’s okay. But for Tina, I will have to give her written and verbal test before I can be
convinced that she’ll be suitable for the job.’

I smiled. ‘Okay, oga Mola, I’ll tell her.’

‘When are we seeing again?’

‘Tell me when you want to see me.’

There was a brief silence. ‘I’ll call you tomorrow to let you know.’

‘Okay, love.’

I told Tina about what he said.

‘If he wants me to write a test, no problem. I will call him to know when I can go to his office.’

Tina called him and he asked her to come for the test and interview the following day by ten in the morning.

‘I’ll go there straight from my house,’ Tina told me. ‘You will have to cover up for me. Tell madam I went to the bank.’

‘No problem.’

Tina called him and he asked her to come for the test and interview the following day by ten in the morning.

‘I’ll go there straight from my house,’ Tina told me. ‘You will have to cover up for me. Tell madam I went to the bank.’

‘No problem.’

She did as she said. It was almost 1.30 p.m., when she came to work. Thankfully, since I was up and doing, madam did not notice her long
absence.

‘How did it go?’ I asked.

She nodded. ‘All went well. I did the written and verbal tests and came out in flying colors. He says he will get back to me within twenty hours.’

I looked surprised. ‘Get back to? Why can’t he employ you immediately?’

Tina smiled wryly. ‘I wonder o.’

The following morning, Tina got a call from Mola and gave her the message she had been yearning to hear.

‘He has said I can come around to pick my letter of employment. I’m to start the work next Monday.’

‘Ah, congratulations.’ I hugged her.

Then, it suddenly dawned on me that she would be leaving me at Comely Hotel. ‘Wait a minute, Tina. Are you really going to leave me alone,
here?’

She hugged me again. ‘Don’t you worry, baby. We’ll arrange for how we’ll be meeting. Tina will never abandon you, Simi darling.’

I was very much comforted by those words.

About four p.m., Mrs. Shitta called me to her office.

‘Tina said she has got another job, and she would be leaving by Sunday,’ she said.

I nodded. ‘She told me so.’

She sighed. ‘She has been doing well since we started this business,’ she continued. ‘There’s no doubt she’s an asset to us and we’re going to
miss her. Well, such is life. There’s no way I could stop a young woman from progressing in life.’

I nodded but wondered if she would say the same thing if I were to be the one that had given my notice of resigning.

‘You’re going to be the acting Business Manager. If you handle the position well, I will only employ someone to assist you. Otherwise, I will get
another Manager. But, I trust you. I trust that you will do well.’

I beamed in smile. ‘Thank you, ma.’

Later that evening, late in the night, Tina and I were in my room. As soon as we entered the place, she was all over me, kissing and caressing.
Several minutes later, we snuggled to each other in bed, gladdened that we had satisfied our desire.

‘I can’t leave you,’ she said. ‘The fact that I’m changing job does not mean end to our relationship. We’ve got to be seeing, and you have to be the one to be coming to my house.’

Her house was not far away. With a bike, I could get there within five minutes.

‘That will be no problem,’ I answered.

‘And of course, I’ll be coming here too - once in a while.’

On Monday morning, the reality hit me that Tina would not be coming to work for Comely Hotel again. She had gone to resume as P.A to Damola
Koku, the CEO of Coccus Oil and Gas. I wished her the best. I had no qualms that I declined taking up the appointment. My earnings in Comely
were not bad and if I planned well with my income, I would continue to live comfortably.

She called me about mid-day. ‘Hello, baby girl.’

‘Hello, Tina. How’re you?’

‘Cool. I’ve started the work as P.A to Mola.’

‘Yeah. How’s the work?’

‘Cool. I’m sure I’m going to enjoy it.’

She sounded excited and, again, I wished her the best.

Many thanks for your interests.

On Monday morning, the reality hit me that Tina would not be coming to work for Comely Hotel again. She had gone to resume as P.A to Damola Koku, the CEO of Coccus Oil and Gas. I wished her the best. I had no qualms that I declined taking up the appointment. My earnings in Comely were not bad and if I planned well with my income, I would continue to live comfortably.

She called me about mid-day. ‘Hello, baby girl.’

‘Hello, Tina. How’re you?’

‘Cool. I’ve started the work as P.A to Mola.’

‘Yeah. How’s the work?’

‘Cool. I’m sure I’m going to enjoy it.’

She sounded excited and, again, I wished her the best.

That evening, Mola called me. ‘Let’s meet in that hotel suite,’ he said.

‘Okay,’ I answered. ‘But I may come a bit late. Now that Tina has left, I have more work to do.’

He was silent for some seconds. ‘Like what time will you be leaving the place?’ he asked.

‘Maybe by nine in the evening,’ I replied.

Again he was silent briefly. ‘I’ll send a driver to come and pick you,’ he said. ‘His name is Manu. That will save you the stress of coming here late
in the night.’

‘Oh, you’re such a darling,’ I said.

Few minutes to nine, the reception lady called to inform me that a man by the name Manu was waiting to see me.

‘Let him wait,’ I said. I tidied up some things and got ready. The ride to Ikoyi was smooth. I sat at the rear right seat of the Prado jeep. I must
say I was impressed by the presidential treatment Mola was giving me. I honestly wished more of such would come.

It was few minutes past ten when I stepped inside Mola’s suite. From the way he smiled expansively, he was glad to see me.

‘What will you like to eat, dear?’ he asked.

I had eaten about seven p.m., so I wasn’t hungry.

‘I’m okay. I ate just some hours ago.’

‘What about chicken? Will you like to take just fried chicken?’

Gosh, this man was trying to be nice. I smiled. I didn’t really want anything, but maybe taking some chicken was not a bad idea.

‘Okay,’ I said, the smile still on my face.

She placed me on his laps.

‘How’s my friend doing at work?’ I asked.

‘Not bad, so far. But I wish you were my P.A.’

Wonderful, I thought. I must have got a wonderful aura.

‘Tina is good,’ I pointed out. ‘She’s hard-working and dedicated.’

He grunted. I wondered why he was particular about me being his P.A. There was a soft rapping on the door. I went to open it. The room service
had come with his order. The food was brought in a large tray. Mola asked that the tray be put on he center, glass table and tipped the guy.

‘Thank you, sir,’ the beneficiary said and left.

We ate in silence. I had to force myself to have the appetite and to munch the chicken.

After the meal, he allowed some minutes of rest before the passionate action began. In what was becoming a normal trend, he did it only once
and collapsed on the bed.

The following morning, I woke up at five to start preparing for work. I was dressing up when he opened his eyes.

‘Hello, love,’ he greeted.

‘Good morning, darling’, I answered.

Unlike me, he had no fixed time to go or get to work.

‘I’ll not be paying you anytime we meet like this again,’ he said.

I was surprised. Did that mean I had offered free service?

Thanks for the update

lol olosho no be work, just be like a mistress to him maybe u will end up being his second wife

Unlike me, he had no fixed time to go or get to work.

‘I’ll not be paying you anytime we meet like this again,’ he said.

I was surprised. Did that mean I had offered free service?

‘What do you mean?’ I asked.

‘What I mean is I don’t like the pattern. It means I’m paying for sex.’

I kept quiet, wondering what exactly he had in mind.

‘For, example, I’m not going to pay you anything this morning.’

I raised an eyebrow. ‘Really?’

‘Yes.’ He suddenly smiled. ‘But from time to time, even if you don’t expect it, you’ll be compensated and taken care of.’

I still kept quiet. He smiled. He stood up from the bed and opened his business case by the bed-side. From there, he brought a car key out.

‘There’s a car at the parking space downstairs. It’s a metallic Toyota Corolla. It’s yours.’

‘What!’ I was too surprised to say more.

He brought a big, brown envelope. ‘Here, all the car documents are here. By the way, can you drive?’

Yes, I could drive, but only a bit. Besides, driving in Ibadan was very different from driving in Lagos. ‘Only a bit,’ I answered.

He nodded. ‘I’ll give you money for cab when you’re leaving, but Manu will bring the car to you. He’ll do that this morning.’

I was joyous. I didn’t know when I threw my hands round his neck and kissed him.

‘Oh, thank you so much,’ I gushed. ‘Thank you for your generosity.’

That was the payment I got that morning. It was a payment that probably covered many days of ‘service’, but then, I knew he was not exactly
paying for any service. He was just trying to be good. He brought out a wad of money and counted out twenty thousand naira.

‘Take,’ he said.

I expressed surprise as I took the money. ‘All this to pay for a cab?’

He smiled easily. ‘No. Use the rest to fuel the car.’

That was another wonderful thing from him. I gave him another hug.

I was happy when I returned to Berger. Mola was indeed making me to be a ‘big babe.’ Then, something struck my mind. How would I explain the
car to Mrs. Shitta? I shrugged. I would tell her it was a gift from … A gift from whom? My man friend? My boy friend?

Again I shrugged. I was not a kid, for God’s sake!

I got to the hotel and resumed duty without delay. By mid-day, Manu brought the car and came to hand over the envelope containing the
particulars and other documents.

But there was another little surprise.

‘Inside the boot of the car is a twenty-five liter keg containing petrol,’ Manu said.

Now, that was very generous of Mola, having given me the money for fuel already. I followed Manu to the car park to inspect the car. It was
brand new. Mola had done very well.

I gave Manu two thousand naira notes.

‘Use this to transport yourself back,’ I said.

He too was surprised. Well, I guessed it was a day of many surprises. Indeed, it was. After Manu had gone, I went to see Mrs. Shitta in her
office. I certainly had some things to let her know.

‘Good afternoon, ma,’ I greeted.

‘Ah, good afternoon, Simi. I was about to send for you. Sit down.’

I took a seat. ‘Thank you, ma.’

‘I’ve been observing you since morning,’ she said. ‘I realized that I made a mistake.’

I was all curious. ‘What mistake was that, ma?’

‘I shouldn’t have said I would observe you for some time before you were confirmed as the substantive Manager. Now, I know that you really
merit to manage this place. That means from the end of the next month, you’ll be earning what she was earning.’

‘Ah, thank you, ma,’ I said. ‘Thank you for the confidence you have in me.’

‘Keep up the good work, Simi. You’re true daughter of Bimbola. She always does things with dedication. She told me your father was like that.’

I smiled wanly. ‘Thank you, ma. I was actually coming to see you for something.’

‘What’s that?’

I was all curious. ‘What mistake was that, ma?’

‘I shouldn’t have said I would observe you for some time before you were confirmed as the substantive Manager. Now, I know that you really merit to manage this place. That means from the end of the next month, you’ll be earning what she was earning.’

‘Ah, thank you, ma,’ I said. ‘Thank you for the confidence you have in me.’

‘Keep up the good work, Simi. You’re true daughter of Bimbola. She always does things with dedication. She told me your father was like that.’

I smiled wanly. ‘Thank you, ma. I was actually coming to see you for something.’

‘What’s that?’

‘There’s a Toyota Corolla in the car park. It’s a gift from a friend to me.’

‘Really?’ Her surprise was total. ‘You mean you already have a friend in this Lagos that could be so generous?’

I smiled and nodded. ‘Well, I must say that I too was surprised he was that very generous.’

She suddenly smiled warmly. ‘Well, I told you, didn’t I? I told you that the guys in Lagos are much smarter. So, what are the two of you waiting for? When are you doing the wedding?’

I nearly burst out in laughter. Wedding?

‘Er, well, we’re still watching to see how things work out,’ I said.

‘Nothing to watch again,’ she said sharply. ‘That’s your man, Simi. That’s your husband.’

Again, I felt like laughing. If only Mrs. Shitta would understand.

‘Well, thank you, ma,’ I said and stood up. ‘Thank you very much.’

Towards evening, I decided to call Tina and let her know about Mola’s gift. After all, she was the one that first connected me to him.

‘Mola bought me a Toyota Corolla,’ I informed.

‘Wow! You don’t mean it!’

‘I mean it,’ I said. ‘Right now, the car is at the parking space of Comely Hotel.’

‘Wonderful. Simi, baby, you are the one!’

I giggled. ‘The car is for us, Tina.’

‘Oh, baby. You’re so good. I wish we live in the U.S.A. I will marry you. Honestly, I need somebody with a golden heart like you.’

‘Well, sorry, Tina, we don’t live in America.’

‘Ah, yes. Quite unfortunate. Anyway, I’ll be coming over tonight, dear. Then, we’ll ‘wash’ your new car.’

‘Okay. You will highly be welcomed.’

She came in about eight p.m., and we left for me place together. I already had a bottle of champagne and some laps of fried chicken in my bag.
We popped the champagne and took the chicken. It was one great moment of friendship and companionship. Tina slept overnight but had to
wake up by five to prepare for work.

‘One of the disadvantages of this new job,’ Tina said, ‘is that I have to wake up early and prepare for work. I have to do that if I must get to the
Ikoyi office on time.’

I nodded. ‘But, then, you’re compensated for it.’

She nodded. ‘Yeah. I guess I should stop complaining.’

She soon left for her place of work. I remained in bed till six-thirty before I got up to brush my teeth and take my bath. Later that morning, a firm
that booked our conference center for a seminar started a three-day seminar in the hotel. During their lunch break, the head of the consortium
came to my office. He was the one that had come to make the booking of the venue.

I left her office and moved my things to the office formerly used by Tina. I thought over madam’s imminent travel. That would mean some freedom for me to operate without inhibitions for weeks. Wow!

Two days later, I got a visitor about noon. It was the man that had booked the conference hall for a seminar. I welcomed him warmly to my
office.

‘You want to book for another seminar?’ I prodded.

He smiled. ‘No. I’ve actually come to see you on a personal matter.’

I pointed at a seat for him to sit, wondering what could be the personal matter.

‘I’m all ears,’ I said.

‘Yes.’ Unconsciously, he adjusted his black jacket. ‘I’ve come to see you to bare my feelings. I’ve been impressed by your carriage and conduct. I’m impressed by the ways you get things done. I’m really impressed, but it goes beyond just being impressed. I want us to develop a
relationship. I want us to be intimate.’

I looked at the fellow and felt like laughing. Honestly, what he was saying sounded so funny to me. But I didn’t laugh. Rather, I looked at him with
empathy and tried to smile.

‘I like it when a lady exudes confidence. I like it when her carriage diffuses brilliance and beauty. Let’s be good friends, Miss Simi.’

I knew he was giving me a lot of flattery, but I felt glowing all the same.

‘Thank you for your interest,’ I replied. ‘First and foremost, let me ask: are you not married?’

He grinned. ‘In truthfulness, yes. But the marriage is complicated.’

I raised an eyebrow. ‘How, if I may ask?’

He shrugged. ‘Well, it’s a long story. All I can tell you for now is that it is not the best of relationship a man can have with his spouse.’

I nodded. I wasn’t surprised to hear that. Not all men could have the kind of patience, understanding and maturity my father had in handling the sometimes troublesome wife, Bimbola.

I studied my ‘toaster’ briefly. He should be in his late thirties. That meant his marriage was most likely young. Why could he not put a little bit effort in it and make it work?

I shook my head. ‘I’m sorry, I’m already in a serious relationship,’ I said. It was a lie, but I felt it was a good one.

‘You can’t give me a chance?’ he asked, like somebody asking if he could get on a crowded bus.

I shook my head again. ‘I’m sorry, no.’

He stood up and grinned sheepishly. ‘Well, I’ll still stand by, Simi, in case you change your mind.’

I knew I would never change my mind, but I didn’t say so.

It was as if the day was ‘toasting’ day. Some hours later, a guy that had an affected American tone came to lodge in.

‘I need the best of your rooms,’ he said, grinning at me.

I told him about the suite and the cost per night.

‘That is it. That’s what I’ll take. How much is that in dollars?’

I shook my head. ‘Sorry, we only accept naira. If you’re short of cash, you can pay through POS or do money transfer.’
