CHAPTER 3
SEAS AND FATE
UDO'S POV
I was really pissed off by what played out at the meeting today.
Who does that woman think she is?
See me that was thinking that she actually pretty....This gender sef
I'm not sure she has made proper research about me, that's why she had the guts to talk back to me in that way.
So this means in two consecutive days I've lost two deals in rows.
O'Cmon how's this Even possible, I'm the best there is I'm sure it's just a phase, it would only last a while or better still I should start thinking of how to come up with something big for my Publications rather than just sitting down and folding hands, waiting for the Contracts to roll in.
The Awards night is by the corner and I need something big to show for it
Something bigger than the works I've published previously
I stood there while lost in my reverie, the anger which I felt couldn't be compared to when I failed to secure the first.
My failure to secure the deal wasn't the major cause of my anger, it was the fact that I was insulted by a newbie
Ahhhhh Udo you have suffered ooh
I'll have to treat this matter accordingly before it escalates into the Media.
Where's this Leonard sef?
Abi he said he wanted to go and pick up his phone which he forgot inside....
It's been over 20 minutes now
Just then I heard
"Hey bro wait up" Leonard yelled from a distance though I could spot him
"Leo where have you been, I thought you went to fetch something you forgot back at the T-effiel house" I said in an absurd tone
"Yes ooh I did, then on my way out I saw one of my friends from way back, so I decided to catch up with her a little" he said while avoiding eye contact with mine
"Dude, I know when you lie ooh" I said this time while gawking at him Intensely
"Ahah na is not like I have anything to hide, why would I lie na" he said in a low voice...
Omo this guy is hiding something but I'm not going to push further
"If you say so bro" I added
"Bro I just called for an Uber, are you tagging along?" I asked..
"Ahah Uber ke, what about your car" he said with a pessimistic look
"Bro I'm not just in the mood to drive, I'll call Okafor to pick up the car" I said while ignoring the look on his face
"Omo guy where are you going to now sef, we need to talk seriously" he continued
"Yeah I know it's about the deal we just lost as well, we can talk about it later, but meanwhile call Emeka they guy who works at NGL to make sure this news about the contracts we lost consecutively doesn't find it's way to the Media." I said while demonstrating with my hands to portray significance.
"Hmmm, Hmmm" He cleared his throat
"What's that Leo? Do you have a cough or something?" I asked
"No, No it's just that the information has already been leaked to the press" he said while fiddling with his hands
"Oh goshhhh, Leo how could let this happen naaa" I asked with a rather pissed off than annoying tone.
He kept mute
