I smiled at the woman who was sitting in front of my table, making absurd demands.

"Ma I think you should meet another event planner for this. You're not agreeing with my work terms and I believe we can't work together" I tried to reason with her as calmly as I could

"What is even happening with people of this generation? How can you be rude to me? Do you know that I'm older than you?" She looked genuinely angry and I wasn't sure what I should do with her

What has age got to do with this now?

"Look, I understand your anger ma, but please, I can't handle your demands. If you're angry about something else, it's okay. But please do not take out your frustrations on me" I leaned back in my chair and she glared at me

"How dare you talk to me like that" she screeched and I winced "do you know who I am? How dare you?"

"Ma I don't know who you are and I don't care" I replied nonchalantly and I picked up my phone

If she wants to be rude, I can be rude

"Who do you think you are?" She asked

"I did not want to do this but I'm not sure my husband and father in law will appreciate you asking that question" I frowned and placed my phone on my table

"And who are they? Who do you think they are that you're insulting me?" she asked

I smirked at her, leaned on my table and intertwined my fingers "my husband is Mr Kazeem Oladipo"

A look of shock passed her face and I leaned back in satisfaction and raised my eyebrows "so ma'am what would it be? Make a reasonable order or leave?"

"Guy she was speechless" I laughed as my friends laughed. I went to hang out with them after I had finished work

"See her using her surname to intimidate people" Stan teased

"She didn't give me a choice" I defended myself

"Abeg. You didn't have to flaunt your surname jhoor" Doyin glared playfully

"I felt attacked when she started feeling herself, asking if I knew her. I had to use what I had" I quickly replied and they burst out laughing

"Imagine how Kazeem would look if he realized you used his name" Tee looked thoughtful as she leaned into Stan

"He would call me a gold digger for the rest of my life. Ever since that day we went clubbing, he has been so rude. Like he drank overdose of his rude medicine. Like guy, I don't even know again. Sometimes he's nice and then it's like he gets himself and just like that, he's back to being a compound idiot" I sighed and leaned into the couch

"Wasn't the clubbing thing like two months ago?" Ogoo asked

"Exactly. Like two months ago guy. I'm seriously considering a divorce" I rubbed my forehead "I can't keep living like this"

Ogoo pulled me into him and hugged me. He began to pat my back "don't worry. Everything will be fine"

"Will it?" I asked

"It will" he replied and kissed my forehead

"I don't think so" I mumbled into his chest

"You people should be doing lovey lovey too. We're here in case you people have forgotten" Doyin shouted and they burst out laughing

"Leave them oo. They did not date each other since it's now that this Ishiaki is married and this one has a girlfriend that they're hugging and entering each other's body" Tee glared at us
