SIMI'S POV

I sit in my office as usual working, smiling at myself when I remember the date I and IK went for...I couldn't imagine my boss had always admired me. I know I'm pretty but there are a lot of people trying hard to get him and I simply did nothing.

My door opens and my secretary walks in, her face not looking bright and pleasant as always. "Good day Miss" She murmured

"What do you want"

"The MD said I should inform you about your trip with him to the headquarters in Abuja next week ... His father the company owner and the board wants to have a meeting with you"

"A trip??" I said barely asking

"A business trip"

"Owk, emm...Thank you"

She leaves my office and I sink in my chair. I'm I really up for this new position. Playing with my pen I ponder on if I should just quit and keep being the project manager for my company. Isn't this not just too much?

"Hey" someone said, making me flinch quite frightened. I turned to see IK sitting opposite me with his legs crossed.

How did he enter here?

"Don't do that again and how long have you been here?"

"Long enough to know something is bothering you" He said, he stood up and walked to were I was sitting, leaning closer to me.

"Tell me...What's bothering you" He said in a whisper, his husky minty breathe all over my face. Gush I really need to ask the perfume he uses.

"Em, IK it's about the promotion...It's er, it's so much responsibility and now I'm going to meet with those executives...I really don't that I'm not up for it"

"Hey" Taking my hand and focusing his eyes on mine, "Your just nervous and I understand that you're feeling that something may go wrong and everyone will just think you're not good enough....Babe I'm always gonna be by your side through the whole thing and I know you'll do great. You always do great" placing a kiss on my forehead

"Thanks babe" I say like a little girl

"Yes no problem, so what's your lunch plan...I wanna take you to that Chinese restaurant they just opened"

"I have work"

"Work work baby com'on....No get hypertension because of work oh"

"IK I have a lot of things to prepare and now were going to Abuja, I have to plan well...Even need to ask my sister for the keys to her house so I'll lodge there"

"What?...No no Simi I'm going to book a hotel room for us and were going to spend an extra week just for the both of us"

"hehehe, Why??"

"To boost our relationship of course...."A smirk on his fine face as he leaned over and stole a kiss from my lips.

My door flings open and Lola steps in, the way she just stared at us it's like her eye balls were going to fall down.

"Er, um, Goo-d day IK"

"Ohw Hi Lola" Turning back to meet, "So see you during lunch" placing a quick peck on my cheek before walking out.

"I never accepted that" I shouted back, laughing at how he always thinks he could get his way. Lola was still standing there as if she was looking at a ghost.

"Simisola, I know you slept with the boss to get your position and I know your just using him because of the favors he's been showering on you"

"Ahh" clapping my hands in disbelief, "Why are you like this Damilola, don't start this afternoon oh....You have come to dish your wahala ahbi?"

"What?...I'm I lying???, Simi stop what you're doing...You know Ik is rightfully mine"

"Oya get out of my office"

"Abeg save that aggression for next time, I heard that your going on a business trip with him...I just came to inform you that it's business and you shouldn't mix your evil intentions with my man"

"Your man...Man owner...Come and collect him na...Oloshi"

"Simi you know I hear Yoruba, you know ahbi"

"If you like hear Spanish, na your cup of tea....Wo, I'm late for my lunch with Ik...My boyfriend, so please leave my office"

"I hate you Simisola you always get what's mine!!" She shouted like child a before stomping out of my office.

Foolish girl.

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

I arrive home late, my feet aching from the heels. Entering the house to meet Bimpe and Ire in the living room laughing and discussing with Ire's boyfriend Lanre, she just cuddled on the sofa with him while Bimpe sat on the opposite sofa.

"Heyo!"

"Simi your home...How work"

"It's great, hello Lanre"

"Hi Simi" He responded with a smile. Hmm, this guy is really fine.

"Is mom in, I need to talk to her" I ask Ire and she shakes her head, "She went out"

"Ohw, Aright now" About running up the stairs, before the door opened and mom walks in wearing one of her expensive attires.

She paused on seeing Lanre and Ire on the couch, "Ah ah ah, who do we have here" Smiling brightly at Lanre who stood up to give her a hug.

"Lanre pele oh, how are you"

"Fine ma"

"Mamma mamma, you're looking muah" I hailed, ahh see the gems on the blouse na

"o ṣeun ọwọn....That's me for you...Mo lọ pa wọn, look at me na" turning around with pride for us, making I and Bimpe laugh. (thank you dear, I went to kill them)

"Mommy you're too much" Bimpe laugh

"My dear there's no end to having fun oh....we rest the day we die"

She balances on dad's arm chair then turns to Lanre, "Lanre, I hope Irelola ko ṣe misbehave" (doesn't)

"Mommy, why me...He could also misbehave too" Ire said

"Dake enu re" (shut up), "Bimpe talk to your friend"

"I'm always talking" Bimpe replys, earning a glare from Ire

"I think she's really on her best behavior" Lanre said, cuddling Ire with him as she blushed, "Thanks boo"

"Wo, I'm just coming back from one of my friends daughters wedding"

Mummy, always coming from wedding or parties

"I want all my enemies to buy my aso ebi oh, I want to see their face when I hand them your wedding card...Ahhh emi...I cannot leave this earth without seeing my grandchild!"

Tobi walked out of the kitchen and sat on the arm of the couch beside me, everyone listening to mommy talk.

".....Me and my husband we live peacefully and I want you children to emulate our marriage__"

"___Is it not you and daddy that had misunderstanding which day sef" Tobi said and mommy turned to her sharply,

"Omo Tobi, ahhhhh....i thought you're supposed to be in the kitchen"

"No mummy I've finished everything"

"You've cooked the stew I asked you to cook"

"ah, stew ke?...I've washed the pepper and everything. I've washed everything sha"

"Oluwa ohh, Tobiloba!!"

"Ma" she murmured, throwing her face in the opposite direction while murmuring to herself, Tobi and moms drama never ends.

"Do you expect me, emi iye...that is coming back from the wedding, to cook stew for you?....Or is it your sister Simi that just came back from work, that will cook it for you or Ireola that has a boyfriend to take care of.....Kai, ọmọ yii" (kai, this child)

"Mommy will you now let everyone one know that___"

"____So Lanre is now everybody" mom cut in, not even allowing Tobi complete her statement, "Wo Tobiloba; oju mi ti di" She said closing her eyes (look Tobiloba; my eyes are closed)

"Ti mo ba la oju mi...Ati pe iwọ ko ti parẹ niwaju mi" (if I open my eyes....And you've not disappeared from my presence)

"Tobi be going oh" I whisper to her and she just stamps her feet in frustration

"Ti mo ba mu yin!!!...Iwọ yoo wa ninu wahala!" (if I catch you!!...You'll be in trouble!)

Bimpe, Ire and I silently laughing, Lanre should enjoy the show we watch every day in this house, Tobi just frown her face while looking at mommy.

"To the kitchen now!!!!!" Mother shouted and Tobi almost fell down from the arm she was sitting on, quickly gaining balance and running into the kitchen.

"Don't burn it down!" I shout

"Radarada, imagine that child...And she did not go to work today, I don't know who she has been going out with...Wo, if that stew burn, Emi yoo pa oju rẹ run!" (I will destroy your face)

"Em, mom, I'll be traveling with my boss next week for a business trip" I said plainly

"Is it with Ikenna?"

"Yes mom"

"It's alright, if you like don't make good use of it...I'll keep talking oh"

"And I'll be going to Ibadan next week" Lari said while coming down the stairs

What??...does this have to do with Steve??
