Janan
Her four inch green heels clang on the tiles as she walks with grace. She was wearing a turquoise fitted lace and a green veil layed on her left shoulders and a shade adding more beauty to her face.
"Whoa!" Amina squealed pulling Janan into a warm embrace. She pull away and Janan remove her shades smiling at her.
"Good morning Amina." Her soft voice said as she feel uncomfortable at the people passing and giving her a look, by Allah she didn't dress to get this attention or impression.
"You look so Masha Allah! Girl, are you going to kill all the guys in this company today?!" Amina whisper yells.
Hilarious
"Kill them? Of course not." Janan said already wanting to escape from her.
"Well did you see yourself, you look like someone straight from the magazines of those high society ladies." Amina said looking her up and down.
"Miss Ghali?"
Thank God!
Janan has never been so happy to here Mr Malik's voice. She turn on her heel and greeted him. He was standing along with some other staffs. Most of them are from the other departments, they all gave her a warm smile.
She heard Amina leaving her side going back to her desk.
"Congratulations." Mr Malik said his lips trying to form a smile which makes him looks weird. Janan thinks his better off with the arrogant face.
"Congratulations Miss Ghali." The rest of the staffs chorused, some giving her a gift box which Janan thinks is unnecessary. That's when she feels the uneasiness and nervousness is getting to her again, like someone is watching her, like the person is seeing her soul or something and that's scared the shit out of her.
She raised her head up, her eyes saw a lurking shadow at the far end of the third floor. The shadow disappears the moment she saw it. It gave her the creeps.
Who was that?
Janan wasn't able to think deeply when she heard the Director, Mr Joseph Isa.
"This way, I will show you to your office." He said not waiting for her reply, he make his way to the elevator and Janan trailing beside him. She knows the director wasn't in the good mood today and Janan is 100% sure that it has to do with her. She really doesn't blame whoever envy her, because even she is very confused.
Something is definitely not right somewhere.
Janan was beyond terrified when the elevator stopped at the last floor which was her first time coming up there. Nobody use to come up there is only the director and Mr Malik that are allowed.
Well you're now the executive director!! Her subconscious loudly said.
Ohh shit!
Janan for the first time in her life she wished she complied with what her father told her. How in the world will she be working in the same floor as the CEO? Okay he doesn't even work here.
But what if he does now? Huh?
Janan shake her head trying to send those thought away. That's will never ever happened InShaAllah. She could only pray at the moment they started walking down the hall. Everywhere is clean as if the place is occupied. They passed by three different empty offices before they came to the fourth one.
"This will be your office, the rest of offices will be accommodated by our new elected accountant." He said pushing the door open. The office is very beautiful and big. Everything seems to be organised, the sun shines on glass walls as they illuminate the room giving it a beautiful sight.
"But why do I have to work up here? Why are you not situated here also? I know am now the head of the board but you're a part of the board. Ain't we suppose to be in the same floor?" Janan asked.
She was going to continued talking when she saw the Director's eyes darkening. He move close to her, invading her personal space.
"Listen carefully, don't be too happy of this promotion. You might be digging your own grave. Nawfal is not someone to get involved with. I don't know why he got you promoted but whatever it is you will soon find out and Let me give you a little advice..." He paused leaning at her height as he speaks.
"....Stay. Away. From. Him." He said pulling away from her. Janan felt very angry but she couldn't say a word.
Nawfal? Even the name gave her the chills.
"Enjoy your stay. You can leave today. Tomorrow you will be introduced to the board and shareholders." He said walking to the elevator leaving Janan in rage.

Adamawa, yola.
Mubarak
He hissed for the tenth time that day. He has fu*ked up his last chance and now he knows the stupid girl will never agree to do what he asked. If only he listened to his father..
"Ai dama nasan kana nan." His Dad, Uncle kabir said glaring at his son. He sat on one of the old chairs opposite his son.
"Baba am so sorry, after collecting the money...sai nasa ah chacha, wlh Baba I was this close to wining. Danachi koh wlh Baba our life's would have been changed yesterday..."
"Dan Allah rufemin baki!! Mutumin banza! Mutumin wofi! Kai kwata kwata bakada Alqibla!!" Uncle Kabir shouted. He hate how his son recklessly lost a sum of ten million naira in some stupid gambling.
"Please Baba I can try and..."
"Just shut up!! I have been trying to tell you, me and your uncle Jabir but you won't listen. Ka auri yarinyar nan komai zaizo mana dasauki!!" His father said.
"Why did you think I went to that extend and kill..." Uncle Kabir stopped, he lowered his voice and continue.
"Why did you think I got rid of that Amir ehh? I wanted you to marry the first daughter because our plan will go perfectly that way." He said shining his yellow teeth.
"Hakane Baba, InShaAllah I won't fail you this time. Da saban taku zanzo."
They all burst out laughing.
