I had a nice evening, my heart felt at peace today after so long. I had a chance to spend time with the girl I look. Her smile, her lips, her eyes, so beautiful, God took time to create such a beauty. I hope to get another chance with her, to talk to her. For me to listen to her when she is angry and happy, to share more ice cream, to do shopping and drive in the same car with Liza were my only wishes.

The morning came, I had my breakfast, cleaned myself and rushed to work. I wish I could see her face but I guess it was too early for that. By 6a.m I was in the office. No body was there other than the guard which was my normal routine. I prefered getting earlier to work as I was the CEO of the company, my father's company, I worked extra hard to get the position which I deserved.

I started with my designs, we had secured a project from the government to construct houses for the locals. This was a greater deal for my family and our company as whole. My dad trusted me as the best architecture for this project. I knew I needed extra hours to deliver the best hence reason for getting earlier to work.

Few hours into the company, my personal assistant came, she handed me some files for me to have a look and authorize some decisions made when I was away for the weekend.

"Monicah, where is the budget for the project?"

"The project Accountant sir, he hasn't finalized them yet".

What was that suppose to mean? I thought I have given this guy enough time to do the budget for this project but every time he is just making excuses. The construction should start sooner or else we might lose this project to our competitors.

"Has the accountant arrived yet?"

"No sir".

"Okay, once he arrives tell him to come to my office".

"Okay, I will".

She left and I had to wait for the guy. Few hours later he was in my office.

"Good morning Sir?"

"What is good about it George huh? You know how much the project is to this company yet you can't do the right thing especially now that we need you more than anything. What time are you arriving at the office, 10a.m. ??"

"Actually sir, there was traffic reason I couldn't make it on time".

"Traffic is everywhere George, it depends with the time you are coming to the office. So where is the budget?"

"You know sir, I haven't finished it, I'll need more time."

"More time? I have given you a month, more time for what? I'm giving you till Friday, if you don't present the budget, present your resignation letter. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir".

I was already in a bad mood. Why couldn't he just do what I asked him to? I have tolerated his behavior for long, if it was not for my dad to be friends with his father, I would have fired him along time ago.

"Hello, good morning can I have my breakfast now?"

I called the secretary to inform her about having my breakfast. I didn't want to hear any word from her, decided to hang up the call. Five minutes later, I had some tea, sausages, bread and eggs. I had few paper works to handle and decided to call my driver to take me to view the construction site again. Yes I had a driver, who came to pick me from the company during working hours and for work only. The car stayed at my parents compound. I loved driving but I preferred using public means of transport to live like a middle class person.

I checked the site and realized it was just perfect. We should just have the budget estimates before my team start with the construction. I decided to go to the bank to see if I could get another ride with my neighbor or get her angry. I took my phone and called Jack.
