Bottega shoes

"So how did it go?" my forever supportive uncle asked
"it went well" was all i could muster as i climbed upstairs. Joblessness has a way of getting to you, after the first few months you're hopeful but as time goes by reality begins to set in. I never knew i was going to be part of the "I'm still looking for a job" group simply because i thought i had connections and well hello!!! this is Nigeria but i guess not everyone is lucky.
"ehen welcome oh madam of the house" my uncle's wife interrupted my thoughts " are you expecting your food to be brought upstairs?"
this is one of the reasons why i badly want a job
"no ma i'm coming downstairs after i freshen up"
thankfully she left
Studying software engineering was one of the best decisions of my life but now i'm beginning to have second thoughts because why am i still jobless staying with my uncle and his annoying wife when i'm supposed to be making money and taking vacations round the world?
leaving jos was also one of my best decisions even though i left most of my friends and family there but i had always known i wanted more for myself so i simply had to leave. Sometimes you make decisions that would hurt presently but you just console your self that the future would be better at-least that's what i tell myself.
After changing into comfortable clothes i head downstairs to eat
my uncle immediately smiled as he sighted me on the stairs
" I spoke to the MD at gt bank and after sending him your resumé, he wants you to resume work tomorrow"
i was perplexed to say the least, not necessarily happy because i expected a better place but then relieved i had a job
"you don't look too excited" his wife pointed out looking at me menacingly
i replied " I am actually just shocked and completely caught off guard"
she laughed that laugh that made my ears hurt and my stomach cold "seems like your so called favorite niece doesn't rate you at all" she said to my uncle
"go eat and get ready for tomorrow" he said " i'd drop you on my way to the office tomorrow"
"thank you uncle"

"Amen mummy i have to go prepare for work tomorrow" I said to my mom who was busy dancing and celebrating "We'd talk tomorrow" I ended the call
looking for what to wear has always been a problem for me not because i didn't have enough clothes but in fact the very opposite
i had too many clothes so it wasn't always easy to make a decision.
Since tomorrow was going to be my first day, i had to make a lasting and good impression
after hours of deliberation, i went for my lavender knee length straight dress, bottega shoes and bag that i had used my entire semester allowance for that year in school and finally my curly shoulder length wig
fingers crossed that it isn't too much.
