The Yoruba Demons [SAMPLE]

5. Consequences.

Mr Shawn above.....

AMA POV

I sat at my desk in the office trying to proof read all the letters that my boss had to sign. I was already exhausted by the time I was on the tenth letter. This was a regular job that I hated because I literally had to read the letters up to three times to make sure there were no errors. My boss would kill me if he saw any mistake. My back hurt and so did my head. I couldn't wait to get it over with.

While I was engrossed in a letter from Human Resources, my office phone rang. I put it on loudspeaker

'Miss Amarachi please report to my office immediately.' My boss's voice rang out. He sounded quite stern and it was so unlike him. He only sounded like that when I did something wrong and as far as I knew I hadn't done anything.

I stood from my seat which was directly in front of my boss' office. My heart was thumping in my chest as I reached out to knock on his door. Mr Shawn could be very aggressive so I did everything to make sure I wasn't on the receiving end.

I knocked three times and once I heard a faint 'Come in' i exhaled trying to calm my trembling down before I lightly pushed the mahogany door open.

Mr Shawn was seated in his chair, typing away at his computer. I knew he was doing either Forex or Option trade. My boss always sought for ways to make money.

As I made my entrance his head elevated from the computer screen. His face was blank of any emotion and I my fear doubled as I walked closer to his glass desk.

"You sent for me sir" I said trying to exude confidence.

"Yes. Amarachi. Have a seat." He said while leaning back into his chair. I wanted to tell myself that I was just paranoid but I knew my boss all too well. He never summoned me while I was on an assignment. He would just tell me whatever it was over the phone. He had summoned me like this before but it wasn't because of something good.

As I sat down, he erected himself and intertwined his hands together on the table. His eyes were harsh but his face held no emotion.

"So Amarachi, did you have an encounter with any of the Tuwomi guys yesterday?" He asked casually and I gulped. I should have know that Femi would do this. I thought he was bluffing.

"Um, sir...I"

"Amarachi! You know I hate stuttering. Answer the damn question like a smart person come on now!" My boss snapped at me. He didn't yell, no my boss never yelled. But when he was angry, his words were sure to make you tremble.

"Yes sir I had an encounter with Mr Femi." I said looking down at my hands.

"Amarachi look at me." He ordered making me raise my head.

"So did he touch you in a weird manner?" He asked and I shook my head. I knew where he was going with this and it wasn't going to end well for me.

He sighed "Did he by any chance insult you or call you names?" He asked and I shook my head again not finding it in me to talk.

"So why the hell did I get a call from a very pissed Femi this morning reporting how you thoroughly disrespected him?" He snapped again making me flinch.

All I could feel at that moment was resentment towards Femi. I didn't think he would stoop so low to the extent of telling my boss. I was sure he even twisted the whole story.

"Sir, Mr Femi was behaving in an unprofessional manner." I said firmly.

"So much so that it warranted an unprofessional response?" He retorted and I was at loss for words.

My mouth opened and closed as nothing came out. I just sat there waiting to receive my punishment. I knew he wouldn't let me get away with it.

My boss sighed "You will be going to his office today and you will apologise and stay there until he says that you're forgiven"

My eyes went wide as saucers at my boss's words. Femi was never going to let me off so easy. This was bad. Really bad.

"But sir"

"No buts Amarachi. This person is one of my business partners and you insulting him just showed him that we can be unethical. You will be apologising that's final." My boss stated, leaving no room for argument.

"My driver will be waiting downstairs to drop you off at Tuwomi. Tola will finish up the work on your desk. You can go now." My boss finished, putting his office phone to his ear probably to call Tola the clerk to finish the work on my table.

I was dumbfounded. I had even forgotten the incident thinking that it wouldn't be a problem. I had called his bluff thinking he wasn't that conniving. I went about my morning thinking that all was forgotten. I was wrong.

Now I had to go and grovel and beg for forgiveness and be forgiven or I couldn't come back to work?

I hated Femi.

I stood up and walked out from Mr Shawn's office and took my bag and my iPhone 7 from my desk before heading out to where the car was.

As I got into the car, I made a mental note to be in and out of Tuwomi as fast as possible. I knew this was what he wanted and that he would try to use this opportunity to sway me into going out with him but I was not going to bend.

———————
I was currently standing in front of the Tuwomi office complex and it was breathtaking. It was nothing too serious. Just a two storey building with glass almost everywhere. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen.

I walked into the lobby and almost bumped into Kola, the fair, bearded one of the trio. He looked expensive as usual and very surprised to see me.

"Mr Shawn's assistant right?" He said with a very low deep voice. It was almost as if he was trying to serenade me.

"Yes, good afternoon sir" I said smiling politely at him.

He smiled and put his hands in his trouser pockets "not that you're not welcome or anything but what brings you here?" He asked.

"I'm here to see Mr Femi. My boss sent me" I answered and he frowned suddenly making me frown as well.

"Oh bummer. He left like an hour ago. And I'm on my way out but Tunde is upstairs if you want to see him instead."

"No no it's fine. I was sent to see Mr Femi specifically so if he isn't here then I'll be on my way" I say, not wanting to drag the case any further. This was the perfect excuse to get out of this thing with Femi.

"I could call him and ask if he's coming back here if you'd like?" He asked out of good will.

"Sure" I said and he brought a red iPhone 11 out of his suit pocket and dialled a number, putting it to his ear.

"Hello? Yeah Mr Ikechi's assistant is here with me and she wants to see you.... Yes Amarachi...are you coming back to the office anytime soon? Haha you're a fool... okay okay bye" he finished, hanging up. I had a bad feeling in my gut about that call. Something didn't feel right.

Kola raised his head to me. His look changed from polite to smug and I was sure that Femi told him something.

"He's at home. He said you have to come there." Kola informed. No wonder he was smirking. Evil beings.

My heart began to race as I dialed my boss's number.

What the actual fuck had I gotten myself into??
