Perfect SCARS

58

I packed my stuff put it in the car..
I just became homeless overnight

I know that I have my head and heart in the race for vengeance but I also know that I would never purposely ignore Mira and her son

Over the last few years we've been separated... I graduated from the university and got my dream job.... And whenever she calls because I was always busy after we talk we drift apart and fall back in touch after awhile
I always make sure to send something to her account just to support her

Not because I know she needs my help at that time or because I think she's calling me because she's in need of my help but because she's my very good friend and a struggling single mother... She needs all the encouragement she can get

I don't know where this sentiment is coming from or what triggered all this negative attitude I am getting from her... But it is very depressing and I just have to leave, she doesn't want to talk to me, she made it obvious that she doesn't trust me because am unavailable......

Even while I was packing my stuff. She just sat down in the living room concentrating on the tv

After I left her house.. I made a call through to the housing agent and he said he would be available by 2 and he has several places he would love to show me

I don't think I have much of a choice at this point.. I might just move in to any house now..

And I don't like staying in an hotel.. But I'm at lost end here. And I can't just sleep in my car.

Then I went to the warehouse and decided to work there today
Mr Ibrahim couldn't hide his inconvenience as usaul but I have been really lenient until now

I checked sales record and supervise the supplies and demand for the day. It was a stressful and time consuming job

I didn't know time was far spent until I checked and it was past 4
And I had an appointment with the agent by 2... How could I have forgotten about that. I checked my phone and he has called me a few times.

I sign out for the day and continue to dial the agents number on my way out... I could hear Mr Ibrahim asking me when next I would be coming

Sneaky bastard I would keep catching you by surprise Since you have refused to change and all you want to do is embezzle the whole funds
If only he knew he was at the verge of losing his job alongside all his likes. And that if I hadn't intercede on their behalf. They would have lost their jobs

They only register few supplies per day when it obvious they make dozens of major supplies a day..
Only today we registered over 20 major supplies across Nigeria today. And the most they have registered until now was 12, the rest are like 6,9,10..

I know they are slow business days but according to them everyday is a slow day

I think I have been too lenient with this man.... If I don't get a change of heart from him.. Even if he doesn't completely change.. Probably try to change to a certain level I would assume he no longer values his job

Then I would fire him and his cargoons and hire fresh minds

The agent finally picked and explained that he has been waiting for me since and he just left... I explained that I was busy at work and begged if he could come back... He said he is pretty far but he would try and see if he can make it back on time

I was far away too.... The warehouse was located at the outskirts of Lagos. So I calculated that we would probably meet there around the same time

But I was wrong... The moment I got into the major road I was stuck in a motionless traffic
Even Google map knew it was a dead end. It highlighted red 🔴 at all major roads and I almost slapped myself.. For making this stupid mistake.

I tried to keep sane with the crazy traffic.....
I had to call the agent to not bother coming back there today. We'll see tomorrow

I was trying to keep up with the bunking of commercial buses and crazy drivers trying to jump in my lane

My phone rings and it Simon calling.. I might just go insane if I don't speak to anyone...

"Hi simon "
I answered on loud speaker

"Heyy darling... How are you today "

"Am alive... You "

"Just missing you.. Where are you right now "

"Not available "

"Or You don't want to see me "

"On the contrary..... I'm just farther away "

"Where exactly are you "

"I dont know but am coming from Epe and now am stuck in a terrible traffic "

"Epe... What are you doing in Epe"

"That's where I work "

"No shitting.. "

"It is what it is "

"But why would you be working there.. That place is too far from around here "

"It wasn't as far when I was going this morning but now the traffic is life draining "

"Ohh baby... Am so sorry, can you find out where exactly you are"

"What difference does that make "

"I just want to know "

"Don't worry about it am fine  "

"And we are hanging out today. I was thinking you'd like to join us "

"As you have heard am stuck in traffic "

"I know but if by chance you can make it"

"Have You not heard a thing. I have been saying so far..... "

"Yes.. But. I just thought "

"No You didn't think and never mind I'm not going anywhere... I'm exhausted from driving long hours. What I need now is sleep "

And from the way am seeing it... I might just crash into any hotel around.. I don't even have a home am heading to. So I might as well just crash around somewhere here

I'll just Google for a nice hotel around
Simon was still on the phone and I didn't even notice. I might as well just end the call
Until I heard underneath

"Is that genesis you are speaking with... Are you guys like a thing now"

"Shut up and go away "

That was Philip's voice.... I could stay glued just listening to what he has to say about me
But since Simon chased him away I didn't hear his voice again and Simon blabbed on
I just Pressed the red button
