Chapter 39

-MIHLALIKAZI MBANA

"knock knock"

The person says, my door is half open "Come in please"

I say looking up to see Khaya, he's carrying red roses and is smiling

"Hi"

He says walking towards my desk "Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask and he hands me the flowers

"You asked for a developer and so I'm here" He says proudly

"What do you mean? I thought Mr Ngozi was coming"

"Sadly he had to rush to the hospital, his wife was in labour so I thought I should come"

He says and I nod

"So nobody else was available?" I ask and he shrugs

"Do you want someone else?"

He asks and I shrug

"I guess I'll take whoever I can get" I say and he smiles

"Heard little one was out of the hospital" He says

"Yes he's out thank you for visiting that day" I say

"I went to your house last week and there wasn't anyone around"

He says

"yeah, I uhhm kind of moved in with Bandile" I say

"You and him working things out?" He asks and I shake my head no

"Jay wanted us both under the same roof" I say and he nods

"Anyway can we get down to business" I say and he pulls out his tab

"So talk to me Miss Mbana, what do you want?" He asks

"Well we want an app where readers will be able to purchase our books and be able to reach us, an app where they can submit manuscripts and everything you know?"

I say and he starts to type

"What else would you like the app to do?"

He asks

"Everything our website does but in an app form"

He nods and writes it all down. I won't lie I do miss Khaya and whatever we had but he's not right for me. I can't be with someone who killed my other grandparents and was proud enough to tell me that he didn't regret it

"Mr Mnguni"

I say and he looks up at me

"Can you hand this project over to someone else?"

I say and he stops and looks at me

"Why? Am I making you uncomfortable?"

He asks and I shrug

"Sort of"

I say and he chuckles and leans back

"How?"

I shrug

"How do I work with you knowing what I know about you? You killed my grandparents and would have probably hurt me too had my grandfather not took you in"

I say

"I probably would have but I didn't. I have no intentions to hurt you, you can either believe that or not it's up to you really but I have nothing against you and your family but if you want me to hand the project down to someone else then that's what I'll do but Mihlali don't make the same mistake your baby daddy made. Mixing business with pleasure!"
