project or the other,attending one meeting here and there,speaking at seminars and conventions.
The Smiths corporation occupied a large building,a three storey,spacious compound for staff and customers to pack their cars and a mini eatery that served continental dishes,being the headquarters office,it was famous all around.Clients troop in from all over the world.
Jacob's office was situated on the third floor,a very spacious office,the mahogany desk he used had two arm chairs in front of it,a mini sitting arena at the other angle where he received personal guest,a refridgeratoe and a mini bar.His secretary's office was right before his own.His secretary Sharon was a plump but tall lady,she's smart and easy to work with.
Jacob arrived at work some minutes past eight am,he nodded as Sharon greeted him,he walked to his office ,removed his suit and sat down.
Sharon came in wearing a blue jacket on a yellow camisole,she wore a blue straight knee length pant that hugged her perfect curves,she looked beautiful and too sexy for a secretary,She brought some files in.
'Sir,these are the files for BOLLYKaY group of company,Mr Kunle is through with it,and here is KFacTOrs holdings file too'she said smoothly
'Is that all!' Jacob asked placing the files on cabinet.
'Yes Sir' she excused herself,as she was about to open the door,she turned back.
'Excuse me sir,one more thing,Miss Katherine called this morning,she asked you to call her'she said carefully and went out.
At the mention of the name Katherine,his mind snapped back.
What? Why did she call? Katherine whom he fondly referred to as Kat was his ex girlfriend of nine months,they had everything going fine until she started seeing another man,a french named Sebastian.She came up with different excuses,before they finally broke up.Kat came back two months later to apologize,he accepted her apology but refused to have anything to do with her again.
He had made it clear that it was over indeed.Kat was a good girl from a rich home though she was a spoilt girl who always got everything anyhow.She had a great body with killer curves.
Jacob picked up his phone and dialled Kat' number,she picked it at the first ring.
'Hi Katherine' Jacob said,he stood up from his chair and stood by the window.
'Hello Jacob dear' she said,her voice was sharp and she sound delighted.
'Kat,Sharon informed me that you called'' he said,playing with the curtain of the window.
'Yes,i did call,i tried your mobile earlier,it was going through,that was why i called your office line,actually i want to see you' she said carefully in one breath.
'See me?' Jacob asked.
'See you,or is too much to ask of you' Kat replied
'Ofcourse,its just that am busy this days' Jacob said.
'What about dinner at my place over the weekend'she said 'Thats out of it Kat'
'How about Dinner about The StriKeRs'she asked again.
'Lunch at Foodco sounds better'
'Is saturday okay with you?'Kat said
'Thats it then,bye for now' he agreed
'Bye Jacob' She said happily into the mouthpiece
Jacob dropped his phone on the table and called for a cup of coffee.
Jacob left the office quarter past three,well it was quite early for someone who would not drop his pen till dusk.....he was partially married to his work.He had left because,his head was about to break,he had a head smashing ache.he drove home,as luck was on his sides,there was no traffic.
The sun shone brightly in all its glory adding to his bundle of pain.
He horned four times before Adamu opened the gate,he drove in while Adamu closed the gate and ran to meet Jacob.
'Oga Jay,welcome o' Adamu greeted him
'Adamu what took you so long to open the gate?' he wasn't smiling
'I bin dey watch TV o,oga Jay no vex,and this one wey you quick come home,se no wahala ba!'Adamu joked.
'Hey,Adamu,this is no time for jokes,i have headache,just bring my suitcase in and lock the car' Jacob said walking away from Adamu,he walked across the well trimmed lawn.
'So,Oga Jay fit get headache,nawa o,anyway make i carry this tin go inside' he locked the car and carried the bag in.
It was late in the evening when Jacob woke up,the last he remembered was having a little lunch,he had taken some pills and knocked out on his couple bed.He felt better now,he stretched his hands to pick his phone,he had eight missed calls.he dropped the phone and was abt getting up from the bed when his mother walked in.
'Huh,Mum you should knock before coming in'Jacob said looking at his mother.
'Well,am in already,sorry about that.I checked you twice but you were still relaxing and i didnt want to bother you' She said lightly,she sat down on his bed and paused.
'Mum,i know you're here for something,but cant it wait,am kind of tired' He tried to brush off his mother,because he knew that,whatever it was that brought her in must be important and he wasn't in the mood for talks.
'Son,listen,it can't wait.'she stood up and sat on the chair by his dressing table 'some rumors have been flying around about you,and i'ld like to confirm them'she said.
Jacob prayed,it wasn't about Janet,as he had anticipated,
'And what did you hear? Mother of mine,when did you start listening to gossips' he challenged her.
'Well,i listen to important ones,if you must know.Is it true what i heard?' she said
'Am no wizard mother,what have you heard' he questioned her
You remember that poor thing,you brought home the other time,i heard you bought her family a big house and now rumor has it that you bought her a car last month.'
Jacob shifted on the bed but refused to say a word.
'My dear,answer me'
'Mum,all this has got nothing to do with you' he said,standing up from the bed.
'No,it has everything to do with me,if you must know' she snapped.
Jacob knew he was treading dangerous grounds now.'Mum,thats my personal business' he said.
'Look at you,what do you know about personal business?'
'I am the one dating her,please let me be,i know its Jackie feeding you all this nonsense' Jacob answered,trying not to get angry.
Just then Jackie walked in,not aware of the boiling atmosphere.
'I just searched the whole house looking for you Mum' she laughed happily,bursting to share her goodnews with her family,but there was no response
'Hey brother of mine,you're home early today' mother and son looked at each other.
'Now,whats happening?whats wrong?'why are you two starring at me like that?'
No answer.
As she was about to leave the room,Jacob spoke
'Sis,am tired of Mum interfering in my affairs' he almost screamed.
'Calm down Jay,What is it?' Jackie stood beside him and put her arms around his neck. 'Mum,what did you say to him' Jackie asked
Their mother eyed Jacob,'Is it too much of me,to tell my son not to waste his money on a poor thing!' she snapped
'Mum,don't you ever call Janet a poor thing again,and this conversation is OVER!'
his voice thundered,and walked out of the room.
'Jacob Adekunle Smith,you walk out on me because of that poor thing,i can't believe this' she walked round the room and sat on the bed looking sad.
'Mother,so it is about this lady again?huh?Jay is no longer a child,he's twenty five!
'Please Mother,don't get worked up over nothing.'
'The poor thing is after his name and M0NEY!' she sighed and walked out too,leaving Jackie to follow her.
Jacob screamed at Adamu and ordered him to open the gate.Adamu knew his boss rarely screamed,he opened the gate and Jacob drove out,it was dark already.
Just as Adamu was about closing the gate,Ruth came by carrying a basket.
'Ruth baby,wetin i fit give you o'Adamu said moving to her side.
'Don't give me anytin,here is your food' she said dropping the basket and turned to leave.
'So?you wan comot like that abi,com inside make we play small jo' Adamu teased her
'Hey,dnt touch me o,if you dnt wnt me to shout'
suddenly adamu grabbed her waist and started kissing her,Ruth made no move to stop him,he began gropping at her round and soft bosom,Ruth laughed too.
'Ruth,where are you' Someone screamed.
To be continued at 9pm.
