Chapter 25

Femi's POV.

Agozie had indeed done the right thing by stopping me. I had so many harsh things I could've said to her. I wanted to be mean to her, to make her feel bad. To give her a taste of her own medicine for a change. But then, I shouldn't have. I lost control, lost my cool and forgot my policy. I should've ignored her like I always did in the past but still, a part of me was happy that I didn't.

"Look, man. I'm truly sorry for what happened back there. She's just..." I heaved a very frustrated sigh as I rubbed my hand over my face." She's just a pain in the neck! I don't know why she's like that" I added as I sat down on my swivel chair.

"To be honest, I didn't know she could be that way. I thought she was a very calm and sweet person. But, that doesn't necessarily mean she's not, she's probably that way cause she's pissed at the moment" he replied as he sat on the visitor's chair.

"She's like that all the time. She's an epitome of rudeness. In fact, she's is the architect of all things rude and hurtful. Her words are like venom and her stares are like razors. I don't want to go there, let's just leave it in the fact that she's a crazed lunatic" I was ranting, yes, I'll admit that I was but I also wondered why. I always know how to control myself and I wondered why I particularly couldn't control myself today.

"Please take it easy. You sound like you could kill her any minute from now. And plus, she's my friend. At least respect that" Agozie replied as he drummed his fingers on the coffee colored wooden table.

"Sorry about that" I replied, not that I was actually sorry. I just said that to pacify him a little. "So what exactly did she want to talk to me about?" I asked, trying to change the topic just so I don't say something I'll end up regretting.

"Yeah, um. Her father sent her over here to get some documents. I think she might know better cause that's all I was able to gather" he said and I nodded my head in understanding.

"Okay, so how do I help her with that?"

"Maybe you could, I don't know, give them to her?" he said in a 'duh' tone which made me chuckle.

"Well, if she needs them then she'll have to come here and ask for them by herself. I know you guys are friends and all but I also know that she's not meant to ask you to speak on her behalf. She did that cause she's feeling too big to ask me for them" I replied and Agozie lay back on his chair and grinned.

"That's a really bad idea, Femi. You guys are going to claw at each other's throats. And not to mention the fact that she's vicious with her words" he added as he returned back to drumming his fingers on the table.

"True. But, I'll try to tolerate her. Keyword: try" I replied with a smug smile on my face.

"You're funny. I'll go call her in then. And please, try not to murder her" he chuckled before getting up.

"I'll try but I'm not making any promises" I chuckled too and then he left.

I heard the door to my office come open few minutes later and I looked away from the paperwork I was handling to see Chioma walk into my office, without even bothering to knock. I tried so hard to swallow my words, to act like that didn't happen but hey, I'm only human so I can't act like it didn't for too long.
