Fall

Chapter Eight: Ohhhh God!!

"I still find it hard to believe that he took you to his matrimonial home" Ronke buttons up her shirt as she spoke "Men are really shameless now ohh! But at least he didn't touch you" Nma was fixing her makeup in the mirror. "I told you that I am not even sure about that, I was drunk as a squnk when I got to his house. He had his driver drive my car to his house while he took me in his. I remember him giving me a tee shirt to wear and that was it, he is the only one that could tell what did and did not happen and I don't think I want to see him again. I don't want anything to do with a married man" Ronke looked at her friend like she is deranged

"Girlfriend apart from the whole wife drama and all, married men know how to handle women. The spoiling, the pampering, their D-game too is on another level. Just that I have left that life, abeg it is too dangerous." Nma sits to wear her shoes while Ronke is applying red lipstick. "After somebody's wife almost killed you" Nma laughed at her friend "Thank God for that woman ohh, or else you would still be destroying people's marriages" Nma still laughing at her friend checks her wristwatch "Oya madam let us be going or we will be late"..... "Where are we going again?" Ronke asked "My client's house. There are some jobs I take myself, sometimes the employees are just not enough when it comes to old clients and big jobs" they both leave the house.

***********************************
"Good morning sir, how are you doing this fine morning?" Nma places a kiss on both of Chief Isiagwu's cheeks. "I am very well thank you... And who is this beautiful lady with you?" Chief Isiagwu reaches for Ronke's hand and places a kiss on it. Chief Isiagwu had spent almost all his years in England, his English is almost flawless and his actions very precise and welcoming. "Please have a seat" As there were all sitted Nma goes ahead to introduce her friend "This is my friend Ronke Davies, she is an interior decorator, the best of them all. She is going to be working with us today, then you will decide if you want to give her the job or not. All I am doing is  save you the stress of having to look for someone for this job. This is more like a bonus for you, in the sense that however you want the interior of house to be she will be a able to detect if it is achievable with the house you pick and if not there will always be a compromise." Ronke just went with the flow, though Nma had failed to mention all this to her. She just smiled and handed her complementary card over to Chief Isiagwu.

"You are always at the top of your game and I admire you for that. Well Ronke I do not have to wait till the end of the day before I hire you, I trust Nma's judgment. The job is yours, do your best." Ronke smiled and gave him her word to do the best she can. "Before I forget, there has been a slight change. Do not be alarmed it is not something you can't handle. Ummm my son will be the one to handle this project... After all it is his house! I am just making sure he gets the best" Nma is glad that the new development isn't something that she have to nail a hammer in her head for...... An angry masculine voice filled the room, it sounded like he was on a phone call because there was no voice heard of the person on the receiving end. Chief Isiagwu smiles broadly and tells them not be bothered that it is probably work. The voice went quiet and was replaced with footsteps, the steps got closer and closer then sudden went dead. "Good morning dad, you could have just sent them over to my offic...." Josh trailed off as he saw who the realtor was. "Ave Maria" he said under his breath.  Ronke just giggled and hid in between laughs, Nma herself was not pleased at all to see him. Just when she thought she didn't need a hammer.
