"Hello" Bimbo my work partner said over the phone and she sounded so excited and happy
"Hello, what's up"I said
"Guess what" ohhhh God if this one wants to talk she should talk jor
"What, you know I'll never guess"
"Spoil sport" she hissed but continued anyways
"You know chief Adams"
" Yh that name rings a bell" I said
"The owner of Adams Empire"
"Oh yes na how won't I know one of the richest men in Nigeria" I said
"So I posted your picture on Instagram andddd he slide into my dm to ask for your contact not him tho his Personal Assistant" she said
"Wait what?" I shouted a little
"Exactly what I said when he asked for it let me tell you exactly what he said" she cleared her throat
"The boss would like to have the contact of this lady and you'll be paid for it"
"I'm preparing for my finals Bimbo and you know how this thing works ehn if we just meet new clients we have to talk to them steady so that we can enter their head well"
"Mama calm you don't trust me all that is sorted out he said he wouldn't disturb you cos he does not joke with academics. So he said once you're done I should message him" she said
"Ok now thanks babes" I said and dropped the call. Ehhhhh a whole Chief Adams Olaosebikan wants me and not only that o he's ready to wait for me hmm ok o it's time to run a background check
Yes I do that for all my clients and that's why I don't get scared when their comes after me cos I'll have smth bigger to shove in her face and the sad thing about most of this rich men wives is that it's either they have sugar boys (young boys that they pay to sleep with them) or they cheat exclusively. It's only one woman that I've found her case file clean and because of that I didn't go near her husband cos a faithful woman doesn't deserve to be cheated on.
"Hello Bankole what's up please I need your help as usual I'll send the deposit now get me every little information you can get about chief Adams and his wife I'm not interested in the children" I've never been cos why should I
"Ok boss, on it" he said and hang up
We have Dr Joseph's exam tomorrow and trust he's not one of those lecturers that takes bribe or anything it's what you score he'll record so I have no choice than to read I'm not ready to drop from my 3.87 cgpa.
"Babe I made rice and fried stew and I'm going inside the school I need to see b banks cos I don't understand anything in this book"
"Ok now thank you and bye" I said and I continued reading I just hope I get a B it'll really help in boosting my cgpa cos it's a three unit course.

That I'm writing exam doesn't mean I should look like I just got back from hell so I had my bathe and you know dressed well
"Are you ready" Ammie asked
"Of course I am"
We drove to school and through the drive we we're revising what we read and I could say we're ready for this examination.
When we got to the Lt (lecture theater) everybody has already settled down so we dropped our bags outside and picked our pen and student id card. Me and my best friend sat together as usual
"Pick one and pass the rest" the invigilator said as he gave the answer sheet to the person sitting in the front. After the answer sheet and question paper has gone round he told us to start.
Thank God I read cos this invigilator was ready to give anybody he catches malpractice form and that's a bad thing.
"You have thirty minutes more" he said after we've spent one hour thirty minutes
I was almost through with my own exam anyways. So I quickly answered the rest so I can cross check.
"Dot your i's cross your T's immediately you hear pens up if I catch you writing that's an automatic carry over for you" he said and we all know not to mess with this man cos he'll do as he has said.
We all submitted and left the hall one after the other some complaining about how hard the exam was others checking if they got the right answers well I didn't do any of those cos really what's the point it's not like any of us can get our script back to correct our answers so why will I stress myself. I just waited for my best friend to come outside and immediately I sighted her I made sure I dragged her myself because they'll stop her and start asking useless questions.
"Why did you drag me like that" she asked
"Cos I know some idiots will stop you and start asking jamb question and I'm not in for that did you see Tee"
"No I didn't anyways let's go home" probably we were not in same hall, so we just went home directly cos I'm farmished I didn't eat this morning before leaving home.

"Hello Zoe" my mum again and I'm not ready for this woman's trouble today ehn.
"Ma" I answered reluctantly
"How are you my child" my child ke this woman is up to something.
"I'm fine ma" I answered
"Please I need your help" money matters I thought as much, I'm the one meant to be asking for money fr her but no she asks me instead.
"You want ashewo(prostitute) money" I asked
"Ashewo money ke no o, I just need fifty thousand I'll return it" she said and I laughed
"Where do you want me to see fifty thousand, well you remember you told me to stop working so I've stopped and now I'm broke" I said waiting for her response
"That's good but we both know you have this money" she said
"I have but I won't give you, I'm not your ATM" I said and switched off my phone immediately. A typical rollercoaster day..........
