Edochie was sitting comfortably in his office having a business discussion with his friend Tobenna when Tobenna brought up the issue of Adaobi in their discussion.
“Edochie”, Tobenna called. “I do not like the way you discharged that girl Adaobi. What she did was bad I must say but two of you could have reached a compromise. That girl is homely, lovely and beautiful. I also know that….
“Please,please, Tobe, let us not bring Adaobi into our discussion. I am done with her and that is that! You may leave now since we are through with our discussion for I have many things to do.” Edochie said.
Tobenna apologised and left. Some minutes later, a tall black girl knocked and entered Edochie’s office.
“Good afternoon, Sir”
“Yes, young lady, how may I help you?”
Edochie asked reluctantly.
“Sir, my name is Ugochi Okeke. I am in marketing department of my Bank..First Bank of Nigeria, Ojota branch. I have come to see if you can open an account with us”
“Why should I? What made you think that I am in need of another account?”
“I am so sorry, Sir. I can sense that you are not in good mood today. I will leave and come back some other time so that I can tell you what you stand to gain by having an account with us.”
“No,no, it is just that…., it is just that somebody annoyed me before you came in. I am sorry for being harsh,” pleaded Edochie realizing that he was rude to the girl.
“What do you say your name is?” he asked
“Ugochi, Sir.”
It was then that Edochie really took a good look at Ugochi and realized that she was a beauty to behold.
“I have seen my wife,” he muttered to himself.
“You said what, sir? Ugochi asked.
“No, it is really nothing, but we have to meet another time. Drop your card with me. I will ring you when I am ready,” Edochie replied.
Ugochi left and Edochie vowed not fo let her escape. He grabbed the card Ugochi kept on his table as if it was about to fly away and stored her number in his mobile phone…
