Torn Between Two Friends

CHAPTER 1 (ONE)

It was a sunny day, Sayo had to leave the bank to go and meet a client at the newly built 5 star restaurant. Even though the sun was high at that time, she had no choice if she want to get a solid commission for the month. Folasayo Okunmadewa is the first daughter of the Okunmadewa's family. She comes from a family of four. 

She is a graduate of economics from a prestigious university in the country, and even though she finished with second class upper division, landing a job has been kind of tough for her ever since she graduated four years ago. During the time she was searching for job, she went to learn interior decoration and started working as an usher as a side hustle. Barely a year ago, she got a job as a sales representative at Stonekey Bank. On the other hand, she goes for ushering gig every weekend to augment her salary.

Even after she got the job, the hustle continues as she must ensure that she get as many active account as possible so she can get a high commission. Few weeks ago, when she went for an ushering job on a weekend, she bumped into a young rich guy – Bamiro Adesina – at the party. Bamiro took interest in her and they exchanged phone number at the party. 

Bamiro is someone you could call a happening guy, even though he is a married man. And ever since he got Sayo's number that day, he always disturbs her with calls. And he always flirt with her anytime he calls. In fact, there was a time he out rightly asked Sayo out on a date but she always tell him that she's not interested in whatever he is offering but it seems Bamiro is quite persistent. During one of their discussions, she told Bamiro that she works as a sales representative at the bank.

Last week, Bamiro called her and told her he wants to open an account at their bank for business purpose. And even though Sayo knew that he was just doing that to soften her up, she also knows that she really need to bring in more account to the bank so she can get more commission, so she had to look away from that fact. 

It is not as if she came from a poor home o, at least her parent are middle-class, they are able to afford to give her and her sister a comfortable life. However, she is the type that does not like bothering people. Immediately she finished from the university, she vowed that she will never depend on her parent for anything again, thus the reason why she works as a sales representative as well as an usher.

So, when Bamiro called her that afternoon that she should meet him at a restaurant during lunch time, she did not think twice before ordering a ride. Knowing that she was going to a high class restaurant, she could not help but be grateful that she wore a nice dress to work today.

"Reservation under Mr. Adesina" she asked immediately she got to the waiter that was at the entrance. The waiter checked the reservation list and told her to follow him. While going, she kept wondering about how rich Bamiro is for him to set up a meeting at such a classy restaurant. On getting to the seat, she realized that Bamiro was not alone as there was someone sitting in front of him. Immediately Bamiro looked up, their eyes met and he stood up to greet her

"Welcome my baby" Bamiro pecked her,

"Thank you" she answered

"Come and sit" he took her to a seat at the table.

"Before you sit, I'll like to introduce you to a friend of mine, Bayo" "Bayo meet my baby girl Folasayo, Folashayo meet Bayo"

"Nice to meet you" Bayo said stretching his hands to her

"The pleasure is mine" she replied

"So what would you like to eat or drink" Bamiro asked.

"I'm okay," she replied, "I have to get back to the office as soon as possible, let's get straight into business"
