Love Struck

chapter 3

"Melody I need you in my office right this minute", tolu said to the receiver, with an alarming touch of annoyance in his voice.

"Sir you called for me", she said.

He looked at her like she had committed the worse of crimes, before saying "I sometimes feel I am the person working for you, since you make some rash decisions without my consent".

Melody stunned at this statement tried speaking but was stopped quite rudely.

" I haven't finished yet", he said more furiously than he had started,  "I need you to tell me who and what gave you the right to cancel my appointment with my girls".

"oh that", she exclaimed ,understanding dawned on her has she relaxed and gave a shaky smile,  which annoyed tolu the more.

"Is what i just said, hilarious in any manner", he said furiously.

"No sir!" she replied "its just that ,this isn't work related and you were in a meeting at that moment and I figured the girls would always be there , the meeting won't", she said, a little bit disgustedly and mockingly.

He did catch the tone, he took a deep breath , in order to keep him from going over the edge.

"So you cancel such important appointment and feel it was irrelevant to notify me about the change,  is this how you worked in your other places, and now you look at me like you have a right to judge me.. For your information ,you have no right cause you are below me.. now get the hell out of my office and the next time you pull such stunt , it would be bye bye fancy job".

Melody couldnt get the fuss about some stupid modeling girl's, who opened their legs for agency deals and money, and her so called baboon of a boss, was querying her over it.

she laughed with disbelieve, " I think I should have let those harlots entry to the conference room for a free show ,with the big headed boss, in front of his clients".

That day went slowly for melody, she said nothing when tolu came out and apologised for his earlier outburst.

"Great" she thought "now he realises his mistake".

Tolu felt stupid, he had been feeling out of control since the first day he saw melody and they had been working for about two months together, whereby she always kept her distance, like he was some kind of disease.

"Well I showed her whose boss", he commented grimly.

Today he was in his metallic black G-wagon cruising back home, before he decided to check on his old buddies, whom he had lost contact with for years.

He drove down to ogun state , went to a town called arepo. Which was where his parents and old time friends lived. He stopped his car at the journalists estate phase two gate, came down and walked to the huge house opposite.

knocked on the gate and asked for his friends tunde and tobi, and was told by their mum they had all relocated to london ,to push a career in football.

  shocked on how out of touch he had been with his friends, he drove back to lagos quite disappointed in himself and also his so called friends for also not keeping in touch.

"Imagine I have an estate in eko atlantic, lekki and more and I have no friends to brag about this with", he got home and drank himself to sleep.

Melody could have vowed she saw loneliness in her bosses eyes.

"cant call him by name , who knows what drama would come up the day I do", but she did feel for him.

she knew deep down he could be a sweet person but he was always covering up with his arrogant attitude. she was oblivious to how much effect she had on him.
