SIMI'S POV

The burden on my shoulders has reduced drastically ever since the manager stepped in, the meetings and everything is handled by him. Ik is a nice guy, considering the fact he's nice and doesn't have a bossy attitude like my previous bosses.

I sit in my office, working with my laptop when a knock was heard and my secretary walked in. "Good day Miss"

"How are you" Not looking up at her

"Fine Miss, the manger said I should give this to you, for the occasion tonight" She said dropping a pink colored shopping bag on my table.

Oh My God!, I completely forgot about the black tie event.

"Okay, send my appreciation"

"No problem Miss" turning and leaving my office.

I know he said the company was gonna compensate me, but I didn't think that the company will actually buy me a dress. I grabbed the bag and opened it, gasping at the content inside.

It was a beautiful red gown and a box of accessories, I placed the bag down still in shock. That's when my door opened and Bisola came in.

"I heard"

"That what?"

"The manger bought you something" Scanning my office, she spotted the bag and grabbed it.

"Bisola drop it" I said, not that she was even gonna listen to me

"OMG!!!!, Simi!!!!..This gown over fine, see the designs na" Bisola said, raising the dress to get a better view.

"Me sef, I shock"

"You mean, the manger bought this clothe all in the name of business occasion"

"My dear, that is it oh"

My door opens again and Lola walks in, this girl no dey knock.

 She sights the pink package and gasps. "OMG!!!!, I was told the manger sent me a package but it never got to my office" She turned to me and sneered, "So this is where it landed"

"You?" Bisola laughed, pointing at Lola who just rolled her eyes

She ignores Bisola and ransacks the bag, "Where's the card or the note?"

I hand her the note that was in the bag, "Here is it"

"Ah, Simi, why are you reading something that doesn't belong to you. Please, that is rude and snoopy" Lola said, snatching the note from my hand.

"Sorry"

"Mtcheww" flipping her hair, she begins to read out the note "I don't normally shop for ladies but I made you an exception, I wanna see you in that red gown tonight. It's still business though, but a little spice wouldn't hurt. I just hope you love the dress"

Her smile disappeared when she read out, "Simisola?????"

Bisola and I busted into laughter. Imagine this girl oh, does this gown look like something that will even enter her?

"See aunty bebeto, your so rude.... Did anybody promise you any clothe???" Bisola mocked

"Please Please, you could have just corrected me, the note is not even signed because you could have technically sent them to yourself"

"This girl" Bisola pissed, "If you make me for one day handle this your mouth"

"Ohw Please" Rolling her eyes at Bisola

"Aunty Lola, why can't you for one day come to the company without branching at my office to cause wahala, your mouth...cho cho cho, like machine gun"

Lola was about the respond when the door swung open, revealing a ravishing Ik in his usual glory. "Good day ladies"

"Hii, Ik...Happy Tuesday dearie, isn't today just pleasant" Lola gushed, showcasing all her dentals

Because it's white

"Yeah and it's just IK, no Sir, no dear and no hun" He responded, making Bisola and I chuckle.

"Ofcourse, We'll keep it professional" Winking at him

This girl is sick.

He ignored her then turned to me, "Eem, Simi, I came to confirm if were still good for the charity gala tonight"

"Yeah sure, just send a cab to come and pick me, I don't want my car to screw me"

Ever since that car ran over a porthole, it's been having some issues, I even have to drop it at the mechanic after work. It's just better he sends a cab because I cannot wear fine dress and be pushing car.

"That shouldn't be an issue, I'll pick you up" He said and I could practically see Lola's mouth dangling open.

"Don't worry it's fine I can sort myself out"

"No no, just send me the address"

"Okay then"

He lets out a smile, "Your welcome" Turning to leave but swiftly turns back to us like he forgot something.

"I hope you liked the dress"

"I loved it, thank you" I gushed

"My pleasure" smiling back at me before leaving my office.

Immediately he left, Bisola started laughing while clapping her hands to mock lola and I joined in.

"Aunty Lola...Are you okay???, you look like your about to faint. Do you need moral support?, do you need an ambulance?" Bisola mocked then we both started to make siren sounds with our mouth to indicate that the ambulance is on its way.

These kinds of moment are always priceless

Lola stormed out of my office in shame but Bisola and I couldn't still stop.

"Chai!!, did you see her face when he said....'I'll pick you up', It was like he just gave her uppercut" Bisola said, both of us doing fighting signs to indicate the uppercut.

"Then he now gave her finisher, when he said...'I hope you like the dress'.....Ahhhhh!!!!, baby rock Mr hot boss tonight, lemme return to my office and don't forget to gist me about everything tomorrow" She said before leaving my office.

The drama with those two girls can never end

----------------------------------------

"Going out with your boss....Hmmm, Simi" Tobi kept making useless noise while doing my makeup, if not because I didn't have the time to go to a salon.

"Tobi can you just keep quiet....Don't ruin my makeup oh"

"But truth be told, I'm still surprised that your boss could buy you this type of gown.... Look at this thing na, it's not everyday a guy gets this for someone" Ire said, she's been on my bed admiring the gown.

"It's business"

"Simi, it's not us your deceiving oh" Lari added

"Abeg two of you should leave Simi, ahbi Lari and Ire...Two of you have found your own, leave her to get her own man jare" Tobi said

After everything, I finally wear the gown. It was a fitted red gown that showed my curves, with a huge slit, showcasing my waxed tanned legs. I grab my purse and head down the stairs.

Mommy and my sisters blown away by my appearance.

"My daughter"

"Mommy it's me oh, see the makeup na....Everything is me" Tobi said, feeling proud

"Mo beere lọwọ rẹ?" (I ask you)

Ding dong

"Lemme get it" Tobi jumping out from the couch and rushing to the door.

She opened the door and Ik came in, dressed in a lovely tux. "Hello"

"Hi"

"I'm Tobi, Simi's sister"

"I'm IK, Simi's boss"

"Ohw your the boss"

They both walked into the Livingroom.

"Ahh, Mr Ik" Mommy said

"Good evening Ma"

"Good evening my dear, how are you and your parents"

"Their fine Ma" He turned to me , "You look beautiful"

"Nice choice of clothing"

"Then I guess my prayers were answered then" Taking my hand

"Wow, is this meant to be a date or something" Tobi said, everybody turning to her.

"Shut up!, Rubbish....Ti o ni bi o yoo wa ni béèrè awọn omugo awọn ibeere" (that's how you'll be asking stupid questions) Mommy lashed at Tobi

Tobi keeps shut while mommy stills glares at her, I need to get IK out of here before family drama starts.

"Let's go"

"Bye Ma" Bowing to sure small courtesy to my mom

"Bye Jare, have a nice time"

Bur-bye!
