βMy husband has been bringing me breakfast in bed every day for three years until I noticed the slight bitter taste. I bought a testing kit. The results? Let's just say, he's not the person I thought he was.
β
βThe next morning before Chukwuma left the house, he brought my breakfast in bed as usual.
β
βBy the time I took a bite from the food, I realized it had a bitter taste but I was so hungry I didn't care how it tasted.
β
βA few minutes later, I received a call from my husband.
β
βI wondered why he called me, could it be that my uncle had sacked him? The thought went on for a few minutes before I picked up the call.
β
β"Hello, my love, why are you calling me? Have you gotten to the office?" I questioned him.
β
βHe let out a deep breath before answering me.
β
β"Ebele, please, one question at a time..." He complained.
β
β"Okay, I'm sorry...Are you in the office?"
β
β"Yeah, I'm in the office and I'm yet to see your uncle..." He reported, sounding tired of waiting for Mr Ezenwa.
β
β"Since my uncle is not yet in the office, you can as well start the day with the task assigned to you..." I suggested.
β
βHe chuckled on the phone, "That reminds me, I have a lot of files on my table...I need to get back to work. Bye my love"
β
β"Bye, my love..." The call ended.
β
βAt the office, Chukwuma was known to be very hardworking.
β
βAlthough, he shared the same office space with the human resources manager, he ensured he didn't encroach on his partner's business dealings.
β
βMr Ezenwa arrived shortly and asked his secretary to fetch him.
β
βMary was a tantalizing secretary who offered only a brief smile and cryptic messages that left her colleagues in awe.
β
β"This one go gree make man chase her at all..." Her colleagues whispered whenever they saw her coming.
β
βMary moved toward Chukwuma's office. She turned the doorknob and opened the door.
β
β"Mr Chuks, the Boss wants to see you right now in his office..." She announced, peeking through the door to the room.
β
βHe raised his head to look at Mary who had already left.
β
β"At last that fierce-looking man has arrived, let me go and find out why he wants to see me..." He rose from his leather chair and moved out of the office to Mr Ezenwa's office.
β
β"Good morning, Mr Ezenwa, I heard you want to see me..." He said, still standing opposite Mr Ezenwa.
β
β"Yeah, please, sit down..." He said, smiling at him.
β
βChukwuma pulled out the chair and sat on it, placing his arms on the table.
β
βMr Ezenwa cleared his throat and then continued to speak instinctively.
β
β"You see, the human resources manager has been transferred to the branch office, so I will want you to be the next human resources manager..."
β
βChukwuma's eyes opened wide in disbelief.
β
β"Sir, I thought the promotion should go to the assistant human resources manager."
β
βMr Ezenwa smirked, "Young man, you deserve to be promoted.."
β
βAs Chukwuma gave the idea more thought, a feeling of unease settled over him.
β
β"Anyway, I'm grateful sir...." He said, casually.
β
βMr Ezenwa grinned, "Mmmm, you're welcome...My in-law"
β
βThe moment Chukwuma left Mr Ezenwa's office, he banged the table in anger.
β
β"I wish he didn't catch me with my secretary smooching... He's just a lowlife who is opportuned to marry my niece, he doesn't deserve the promotion...Hmmm, I will deal with him," He grumbled.
β
βThen the door opened, and it was the secretary.
β
β"Sir, is there anything you want me to do for you?" She inquired, unbuttoning her shirt.
β
βMr Ezenwa couldn't take his eyes away as he gazed at her fresh b_reasts.
