Hey guys am so excited to drop this chapter, you guys have been amazing, your bra comments, corrections encouragements and your Up-Votes ⭐️. I love you all.

You are probably wondering why we have a part 4A and 4B both titled the boss.

Well, I feel we can not fully understand the word Boss with out looking at it from the Woman's perspective, I am of course making the assumption that we both agree that a boss is a person of significance, a person of hustle who has taken charge of his or her life enough to lead others.

I believe the world would be a better place if women can overlook all the odds and pursue their dreams.

------okay let's get to the story------

Nelly drove slowly, peering out the window, scanning for a free space on the parking lot.

The Star city mall was built to cater for the needs of this metropolitan population.

At two floors it was a site to behold, beautiful architecture and landscaping.

Only big businesses could own a store here and only the rich could purchase thing other than groceries here.

Nelly quickly backed into a spot, she saw another vehicle behind her, "ehn! After all my hustle, he wants to steal my spot".

She parked properly and watched as the driver eye her as he passed by, "yeah! this is mine, move along she said hoping he heard her".

She unbuckled her seat belt, reached for her purse and opened the door.

She was a doctor, a Psychiatrist, her impatience may make one wonder how the hell she's a doctor.

Well she's really good at it...

Her wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks and she's here to discuss bridal train gowns with her bestie, the CEO of Bliss Couture.

She got to the store in no time...

"Good morning ma" a sales representative greeted.

"Morning my dear, where is your madam". Nelly asked

"Well she is quite busy ma, hope no problem? Is there something I can help you with"? The sale rep. said in one breath.

Nelly looked at her like she just committed a blunder.

"Am I the one you package all that English for?" She chuckled " you are obviously new here".

"Tell your madam that her sister is here".

Just then another sales rep. Walked towards them, recognizing Nelly she greeted excitedly, "heyyy good morning ma... wow you look amazing" the second sales rep said moving closer to nelly.

Nelly turned towards the first sales rep, you see! am quite popular around here.

Just then Elfreda stepped out of her office, wondering what the fuss was all about.

"Oh my love" Elfreda exclaimed
"My babyyy" Nelly said spreading her arms wide for an embrace.

They had been friends for a long time, since primary school, they practically grew up together, Elfreda was the only child of her parents while Nelly was the only girl amongst seven boys.

They where everything to each other.

They stepped into Elfreda's office, well Elfreda had always had an eye for elegance.

Nelly was really proud of her, she had a way of creating comfort both for herself and her clients, that's really what bliss couture was all about, "Elegance and Comfort".

As soon as they were seated Elfreda started talking "...Baby girl you are going to have the perfect wedding", she paused for effect, "Antonio called me from Italy last night, he said he loved you idea, in fact he sent samples of the design to my email, let me...".

"Stop!" Nelly said, cutting her short, "Elfreda What's going on.

Elfreda opened her mouth to speak but Nelly cut in again... "No no don't tell me that! don't ask what am I talking about and don't tell me nothing is wrong".

Elfreda bowed her head, knowing Nelly, she was not escaping this one.

She looked up and said. "Really it's nothing am just having a rough time reaching Felix this days, you know since his promotion and all, I don't get to see him often, even when his around he is so tired to spend time with me.

"Spill! Spill!" Nelly encouraged.

"No that's all, there is nothing else to say" Elfreda replied.

"When last did you guys play mummy and daddy games in the bedroom?", Nelly trying to look serious.

"Stop joor!" Elfreda said trying to dodge the topic.

"Elfreda when last did you have sex ohhh ?" Nelly was not giving up.

"Well about two months now, maybe three", Elfreda said. Lowering her voice signaling Nelly to do same.

"What?". Nelly was obviously shocked "why did you now get married, to practice abstinence?"

"Felix is going to hear from from me" she fumed.

"No please don't do that!", Elfreda interjected, now pleading she knew what Nelly was capable of.

"Why should I not talk to him? He has made you a Reverend Sister in you own matrimonial home."

"Nelly please calm down... " Elfreda was now desperate.

"Okay no problem, I give you guys maximum this night to make wild mad love else I will take matters into my hands". Nelly said adjusting her dress.

"But come to think of it, what happened, what's going on", Nelly asked visibly worried.

"I don't know" replied Elfreda I feel like we are losing touch and it scares me. Is this not how broken homes start?".

"I think you need to nip this issue in the bud, I have a friend he is a psychologist, he handle marriage counseling matters, I and Kevin are attending his sessions right now". Nelly said, she pulled out a business card from her purse, "this is his card call him but not after talking about it to Felix, men can be insensitive at times".

"Thank you my love", Nelly was always that one person she could count on.

They finally proceeded to their ladies gossip, well let's leave them to that...
