“What about kids?” Joseph asked curiously.
“What about them?” Tobi asked with his
eyes focused on the road.
“Don’t you want any?” Joseph narrowed his
eyes at him.

“Yeah I guess. It would be nice to have a
little girl. I would have adopted but Mama
won’t agree.” Tobi grumbled.
“Ha! Mama! How is she? Did she come last
Saturday?” Joseph burst into laughter.
“It’s not funny jare. She came with this fat
short woman who kept on ogling me. She
was smiling so hard I’m sure her jaw was
hurting.” Tobi complained pulling up into the
parking lot. Joseph’s law firm was just
opposite his gigantic office building.
“You have to give that woman a grandchild
before she does something you hate more
than ugly girls.” Joseph said.

“I know, I know.” Tobi agreed while raising
his hands up in surrender and they both
walked into his office building. They ignored
the greetings of the workers who made way
for them as quickly as they could.
“It’s not like you can pay someone to have
your baby or anything.” Joseph joked.
“Why not?” Tobi said seriously and turned to
his friend with a mischievous glint in his
eyes. “You’re a genius.” He smiled broadly.
“And you’re joking.” Joseph said rolling his
eyes.

“We’ll talk later. Why are you following me
anyway? Your office is across the street.”
Tobi asked as they stepped into the
elevator.

“I know.” Joseph replied dryly. “I want to
see Muna about something.” He added,
secretly thankful that his friend had dropped
the subject.

“Who’s that?” Tobi asked furthering his
eyebrows.

“She’s the head of your Law department. Do
you even know your employees?” Joseph
asked as they walked towards Tobi’s office.
“I have over a million all over Africa… so
no.” Tobi boasted and acknowledged Funmi,
his secretary.
“Show off.” Joseph grumbled.
Funmi was not the typical secretary. She
was in her late thirties, married with four
kids and almost overweight; yet Tobi
preferred her to any skinny bimbo. She was
efficient and loyal. Just what he needed.
“She’s in there.” Funmi stopped him
gesturing towards his office door. “Who?”
Tobi asked startled.
“Eniola. She came. I couldn’t stop her. Said
she brought you breakfast.” Funmi explained
apologetically.

Tobi nodded and Joseph had an amused
smile on his face.

“Eniola? Who’s she?” Joseph asked with a
raised eyebrow.

“Met her at an award ceremony. Now she
won’t take a hint and leave me alone.” Tobi
gave an exasperated sigh.
“Still don’t want to get married shay.”
Joseph chuckled.

“Nope. Can’t stick to one woman.” Tobi
said. Joseph opened his mouth to speak but
was interrupted by the sound of Tobi’s
office door.

Eniola balanced expertly on a pair of
stilettos. She was wearing a turquoise
coloured jumpsuit and flashed a smile
seductively at Tobi who in return, have her a
strained smile. She was the daughter of the
Oba of Lagos, and nobody wanted to piss
off the Oba.

“Hey hun.” She purred touching his tie. “I
brought you breakfast, your favourite. Yam
and egg sauce.” She smiled pulling him in
before he could utter a world in protest.
When the door was shut, Funmi chuckled
and returned to her desk and Joseph smiled
in amusement. He turned to leave but
reversed as an afterthought
“Wait. What’s his favourite? ” He asked
before leaving.
