Zainab's Little Secret

27..

" I guess we have met a while ago Mr Abdullahi" he said with a mischevious look and a smile on his lips.

I was so shocked that I was fidgeting. I wish I had a super power that would make me invisible. I was really embarrassed but never the less I took his hand for an handshake and smiled at him.

After the tension between us has subsided, he cleared his throat and said..
"Ummmm ok now back to business,I would like you to properly introduce yourselves and Mr......."

"Abdullahi" I quickly chipped in.

"Hmmm ok, please feel free. Whatever happened inside the washroom was not a serious issue. I'm quite impressed with all what you said about me and I love your courage and openness. I pray in Shaa Allah we'll get to see more of this great partnership. Once again you are welcome Mr Abdullahi"

"Thank you Mr indinmi. I really appreciate your time, kind gestures and definitely your consideration. Jazakhallah khairan"

"Haba it's ok. It's fine. This is just the way I am".

"Alhamdulilllah,I guess I'm a lucky man."

"Oh okay please,I have been lost ever since the inception. Mohammed can you please tell me what's going on?" Shoaib asked with a questioning look.

"Please sir,can you spare us some minutes?" I pleaded.

"It's fine by me. I'm ok with it" he replied.

"Jazakhallah khairan sir, you're so nice. You're better than I was told"☺️...

I pulled the stupid ears of shuaib that was so slow in decoding the lil drama that just happened.

"Awww,aw😮 that hurts. What was that for?"

"It wass for the sluggish decoding of simple convo that just happened inside"

"Oh,is Mr indinmi the man you were talking gibberish to when you were inside the washroom?"

"Yes exactly. So you didn't get it all these while. And you were there smiling and nodding foolishly like a lizard 🤨".

"Well,I didn't know. Ok no p. Just let's get back inside"

Ok"

After sitting in his office,he explained how some police officers have detained some of his employees, telling him that the vehicle they're using to transport construction materials isn't in good condition only because they couldn't find a dustbin and fire extinguisher in the car. Imagine that insult!!. They've been detained since three days now and have refused to grant them bail. Please when did the Nigerian police start doing the job of a federal road safety corps. Mtchewee!!!.

"That aside someone has been threatening me with all sorts of messages from an unknown number and has been extorting me since a long time ago. So I don't know what to do. I'm fed up. I have paid close to 15 million to the person in question and he's still asking for more"..

"What exactly is he threatening you with? How did you know him? Did you ask him how he got your number? Sir".. I added so as to be polite.

"Well,I got to know him through Facebook and he said he's a rich man that he has a project to do as he's an engineer and that he has heard of our products and he knows they are very reliable. I was even happy at first and he sent me the money for the construction materials which I delivered only for him to tell me I cheated him that the materials are not complete. I was extremely sure it was because I counted it myself. So after a while and everything has died down,a strange number began to call and threaten me that the lives of my daughters and wife aren't safe unless I settle him of which I did and the reason was because he mentioned my home address,office address and everything about my family. I guess someone is stalking us. I kept paying till yesterday when he called to ask for a whopping sum of 8 million naira. I was just wondering what I could do and that was when I called Mr shuaib yesterday and he recommended you to handle the case. So that's the dilemma I'm in Mr Abdullahi, please I need your help".
