RUFI:
"Are you ready to talk about yesterday?"
"Yeah" I'd been expecting this question since I got back from work.
"OK!" Maria dropped her spoon and gave me her undivided attention "I'm listening"
"The interview was bad"
"I guessed that much Ruf, what I want to know is why you cried"
"Oh Maria! you can't imagine the interviewer" I whispered
"What about him" she pressed
"He was cruel, he was harsh and cold toward me, it was like he knows my past Maria, like I am dirty and he could see it" I broke down in tears
"You're not dirty Rufi, you're not. I thought you got past that already"
I did get past it but that man treated me as if he could see it, me a mother at 14.
I know every one told me it's not my fault, it is, still i let Maria hold me as i cried .

IVAN:
"Good afternoon" I greeted the guy behind the counter at Hen's.
"Good afternoon sir" he smiled at me "how can I help you?"
In a lot of ways I though,
by letting me know when Rufi would be here,where she lived, her phone number and a whole lot of other things I'll think of.
"Please is...umh...Rufi working today" i settled for asking
"Yes?" he shot me a confused look
"Can you direct me to one of her tables?"
Now his confusion turned to amusement.
"of course!"

IVAN:
As usual Rufi ran off on me again but this time she'd asked me to excuse her.
She had this funny look on her face when she saw me, it went from surprise to confusion then fear.
Why would I scare her ?
The girl was too innocent for that look of hers. Looks like that belonged to people who knows what to do with them not one that a smile would send running.
Besides i had no business getting attracted to her.
I know my type and this girl is not it at all. What I would do is just hurt her yet I have this urge to get close.
I don't do commitment and she needs commitment not a fucked up Jack like i, and i need to concentrate, I have a company to run.
"Can I see you for a moment" I spoke into the intercom.
A fair skinned lady about 5'7 who happen to be my secretary walked in.
"Sir?" she wiggled her fake eyelashes. I smiled amused. I known too much about this kind of things to know when a girl is after my money, she wants to tick me off her to do list.
As much as I'll like to take pleasure at fulfilling her fantasies I don't do staff.
If she really is keen on having an affair with me then she'd have to resign first.
"When is my next appointment?" I gave her what I hope is an I'm-your-boss look.
"In ten minutes sir" she replied looking as if I'd just slapped her in the face.
Perfect!
"Let me know when Bernice returns" I dismissed her.
She took her fake ass out my office .
