Biden won!❤️

Ada scratched her neck while looking at her phone. The mosquitoes were bothering her again and she wished she had sprayed the office in the afternoon but she was asleep. She was still looking at the picture of Sade, Bola, Mercy walking into the club and she sighed.

"What a group of liars. "

She was about to look for a file when Kola stepped into the office.

Not again, her heart raced. Why did it have to be him and what was he doing in the premises by 5pm.

She tried to steady herself when Kola dropped a file on her table.

"That's the autospy for the fresh case you will be working on, next week. " Kola stated with a straight face.

"Okay."

"Do you want me to break it down for you, Should I tell you what's inside it?" Kola continued.

"No need, get out!" Ada commanded. Since he was pretending that nothing was between them anymore then she would also do the same.

"Okay." Kola replied slowly, obviously hurt by her words. He walked slowly towards the door and then turned around promptly.

Ada's heart flipped. Was he going to talk about it? Was this the moment when the frog realizes his mistake and begs her? She wet her lips, prepared for an impromptu kiss.

"There are so... many... mosquitoes..in your office. I think you should spray it before you get malaria." Kola advised, pressing his fingers into the desk.

Ada was disappointed. Was that all he wanted to say? Advice about Mosquitoes? All she wished was that Kola could hold her in his arms till daybreak and kiss her senseless till she passed out.

"Okay oh." Ada replied, gritting her teeth.

"I have a mosquito spray in my office? Should...I get it for you?" Kola suggested.

"I think shoving the mosquito spray into your mouth would be perfect." Ada gave him a fake smile.

Kola sighed, "Look here baby, I'm only looking out for you as a colleague. So it's better you start appreciating me for that before you run your mouth like tap water."

Ada almost blushed, he called her baby and she didn't even have to pressure him.

She laughed.

"What's funny?" Kola asked.

"You called me baby, I thought you said you were over me." Ada looked at him.

Kola placed his palm on his forehead, "Oh God, are you even listening to yourself? Why would I call you baby?"

"Why are you denying it?" Ada accused him.

"I'm not denying anything, I didn't call you "'baby'." Kola argued.

"Yes, you did." Ada retorted.

"No, I did not." Kola answered back.

"Yes..you did and don't you dare deny it again." Ada waved her finger at him.

"I did not call you that." Kola gritted his teeth.

"Yes, you...." Ada started but Kola interupted.

"Why are we even arguing like children? I don't have time for all this at all." Kola barked.

"Says the fool who said he wanted to stay far far away from me and here you are, standing right here." Ada chided.

"Oh, I'm a fool? Maybe I am, maybe I am not. Maybe because my possessive ex girlfriend keeps leeching on me." Kola spat.

"I beg your pardon? I'm not possessive, not at all. Maybe you are the one being possessive. " Ada laughed.

"Me possessive? Over my dead body. " Kola replied.

"Then why are you here? I'm done with you and you are done with me so get out." Ada barked.

"I..was only trying to be a good colleague and you are ticking me off, Ada." Kola said.

"Good colleague indeed or you came here to woo me back?" Ada rubbed her nose.

"Woo you? Oh.My. God. I knew I shouldn't have walked in here. I was sensing that you might still be crazy in the head." Kola replied.

"I'm not crazy but you are." Ada admitted.

Kola hissed and turned around, walking towards the door.

Ada stood up and instantly felt the first wave of dizziness hit her body and her body gave way to the ground with a loud sound.

Kola instantly whipped his head and on sighting Ada on the floor. He ran towards her, cradling her in his arms.

"Ada, look...at...me. Can you see me?" Kola tapped her cheek.

"Y-Yes." Ada croacked, relaxing into his touch. Being like this with him for just a moment wasn't so bad.

Kola lifted his head and reached for a bottle of water. He opened it swiftly and sprayed droplets on Ada's face.

Ada shook her head, "I'm fine, it's okay...you can stop wetting my face."

"Okay, I was so scared, Ada." Kola tried to steady his breathing and he embraced her.

Ada smiled, "Really?"

"Yes." Kola replied, trying to catch his breath.

Ada blushed and looked into Kola's eyes. Though he was sweating like a Christmas goat, he still looked handsome even with sweat bathing his forehead and the nape of his shirt.

"Did you eat this... afternoon?" Kola asked.

"N-No." Ada gulped.

"Why?" Kola frowned.

"I-I wasn't hungry." Ada protested.

"You should eat something, Ada. You can't starve yourself." Kola told her.

"I-I starved myself because of you." Ada tried her best to sound innocent.

"W-Why?" Kola asked.

Ada cupped his face and leaned in, trying to kiss him but Kola shifted his face and spoke against her lips. The distance between them was dangerous.

"Adaobi, please stop... doing this. Stop acting so..cheap. You fell because..you knew that I would catch...you, didn't you? You planned this abi?"

Ada was confused, "I-I didn't plan anything. I seriously didn't...."

"Spare me that crap, Ada." Kola dropped his hold on her and stood up.

Ada's hands fell on the ground and she whimpered, trying to suppress the pain.

"Kola, w-wait....."

"D-Don't ever try that dirty trick on me again. I am warning you, Ada. I am trying so hard to be your colleague and friend and nothing more to it. Why can't you just think for a moment and accept it?" Kola shot back at her.

"W-What if I don't want to be friends with you?" Ada spoke.

Kola frowned, "Then maybe we should be enemies. Maybe I should take my mother's advice. I should start looking for a wife to marry."

"W-What?" Ada thought she hadn't heard right.

"You heard me, Ada." Kola responded.

Rage flashed in Ada's eyes and she found strength in her hands and she stood up. Was he that desperate to move on?

Pointing a finger at the door, she yelled, "G-Get out!"

"You don't have to tell me...."

A loud sound echoed throughout the tiny office. Kola's mouth was wide open and his left hand was rubbing his left cheek. Ada had slapped him across the face.

"You...slapped... me?" Kola managed to speak.

"Yes and I will do it again and again. If you don't get out of here." Ada told him.

"I see." Kola quietly spoke.

"I...hate you, Kola. I...hate you...so damn...much." Ada screamed.

"I don't hate you, Ada but I'm starting to." Kola replied.

Kola looked at her with that same disappointed face he had given her a million times before. She felt a stinging in her nose and her throat started to tighten. She opened her mouth to let in a small breath as tears welled in her eyes. She fought with everything she had to keep them from falling, but when he shook his head and turned away from her, Ada couldn't control it. Peal shaped tears rapidly streamed down her face and she started to whimper. "please.." she begged. But it was no use. He walked out of the door and left her there, alone. She collapsed on her knees and everything inside het shut down. Her eyes stung and herbody trembled. "...don't go" She muttered to myself, collapsing completely

Tears fell down like Pompeii. Her face was filled and soaked with water. The fine and thin thread of love between her and Kola was gone and she knew it in her heart. She cried harder, banging the rugged floor and bending her head to it. She wailed, thinking that she would have handled the situation better but she was too angry to think. Her eyes dripped with tears. Her walls, the walls that held her up, made her strong just... collapsed.

Moment by moment, they fell. Salty drops fell from her chin, drenching her shirt. Even as she pressed her hand against the rug, it shook, it trembled. It was raw, everything, raw tears, raw emotions. She couldn't stop... Why could she not stop crying?

"Are you done crying or you are about to start round two?" Someone was seated in the office.

Ada could recognize that voice anywhere, she wiped her face and rose up on her feet hastily.

"Good evening ma, what brings you here?" Ada asked settling down.

"First of all, clean your face properly. I'm not speaking to a crying child." Aderonke retorted.

"Yes ma." Ada replied, looking for an hankerchief.

"I..am confused about something." Aderonke stated with a frown.

"I am confused about so many things." Ada sniffed.

Aderonke shifted in the chair she was sitting on,"Do you have any information on who killed my daughter or who is involved with it."

"Yes, I do. I have a major suspect, infact. No I mean, I know the murderer already." Ada shrugged.

"W-Who is it? Who...did it?" Aderonke asked impatiently.

"First of all......" Ada's phone buzzed and she picked it up, causing Aderonke to huff in anger.

"Hello." Ada said.

"Is this Sade's relative?" The person spoke.

"Yes." Ada lied.

"Oh then, I think you should see her now. The hospital has been trying to reach her mother for over ten hours now."

"What's wrong with Sade?" Ada asked.

"Well she's unconscious now and from the physical examinations we did, we noticed some marks on her neck which means that someone was trying to strangle your sister."

"What?" Ada gaped.

She was about to ask more questions when the line went dead.

Aderonke spoke again, "Now, Tell me. Who killed my daughter?"

Ada peered into Aderonke's eyes in a way that was uncomfortable.

"What?" Aderonke barked.

"You were the only person that knew that Sade was in the hospital. Weren't you?" Ada asked.

"Yes and so what? What kind of question is that?" Aderonke added.

"It's clear....now. I can see the picture now." Ada managed to speak.

"What picture?" Aderonke was confused.

"The person who killed Bimbo is the person who will never be suspected. It's someone that would skip everyone's mind at a go." Ada pointed out.

"Spare me the cock and bull story, please go straight to the point." Aderonke gritted her teeth.

"Well you have a right to get a lawyer." Ada started.

"Excuse me?" Aderonke hissed.

"You can try to get a lawyer but please don't." Ada shook her head.

"What...are you saying for goodness sake?" Aderonke shouted.

Ada suddenly clamped her hands on Aderonke's wrists, "It's you.....You killed Bimbo."

"Are you mad?" Aderonke asked.
