My FiFi

Twenty three

The next morning my mom called just while I was getting ready to leave the house

"Hey son"

"Hello mama , how are you doing "

"Oh son am fine amidst other things"

"Other things like what"

"That I badly miss my boy and I can't wait to see you "

"I miss you too mama but need I say camp was hell"

"Oh yeah" she giggled

"Yes mama , we were awake for More than 20 hours a day and am not exaggerating "

"Well nobody said camp was a paradise to pluck roses , anyways the hard part is over . I remember in my youth corper days that I didn't have to go through the hard part because I was already heavily pregnant with you , they just let us sit and stare the whole time "

"So I was your easy way out"

"You have always been my easy way out . Always. So son I wanted to give you this good news since last week but I just thought to hold on because you always have network issues in that your camp, the line is always breaking there "

"That's one of the many issues we experienced in that place "

"Well am glad it's over just make sure to eat well , eat fruits and get enough rest. I'll send  list of supplements for you to use . Oh that reminds me, I hope you didn't do any heavy lifting or exhausting exercises coz I made sure it was indicated in your medical record that you are asthmatic and you shouldn't be exposed to dust , smoke or confined spaces "

Tell that to stubborn soldiers at the camp
They never listen
Neither do they read, they just don't care.

"Yeah yeah mama, you were saying something about good news , what's up "

"Oh yes, We did it son our first batch of Ambrose V collection finished in less than 2 weeks and we already have hundreds of orders piling in from all over the country . Our new ad campaign and publicity strategy was a brilliant one , this is our biggest sale ever and in such a period, my China investors are glad and my team they can't believe the level at which this product shoot up in the market . We even had a little celebratory dinner to celebrate the big win.
More than ever I wished you were here but am not sad about it because I know this is only the beginning and we are going to be pulling greater and bigger deals than this"

"Wow ! Am so happy for you mama. This is huge , I was still thinking I would take a look at our social media handles to see how well we are doing but I haven't had a chance.
Congratulations ma. You are officially the best skincare plug in town"

"Well you can say that again. If you check our handles you will find so many great reviews. And there's been a great increase in followers . It's like they rip the bandaids off our head and we are now revealed to the whole world . This is incredible and I have you to thank you son for being my backbone. Your commitment to the company's development before you went to Lagos has paid off and I really don't know how this would have been possible without you"

"Oh ma! I didn't really do anything "

"Yes you did and am very grateful. I'm creating a position for you in the company where you can be getting your monthly salary and other incentives as well"

"I have been getting my monthly salary from that company since it started ma"

"Well now it's official." She sighed
"I also want to thank you for insisting I use Fiona as the face of our brand, I have to confess that her face got a lot of reviews from our customers home and abroad. Everyone is talking about how they want to look like her "
