Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 43

Mel and Tobi arrived at the big complex building, what first caught her eyes is the bigger picture of Tobi drawn at the entrance of the building close to where the receptionist sits, Mel’s eyes landed on these when she was still in the car so she didn’t wait for Tobi to come down and open for her like she always does, she gets out and walks over to where the painted picture is……she sees his Charming smile in the lifeless picture and she also burst out laughing, Tobi is holding up his laughter too as he keeps on watching her, he secretly gets out his phone and waits till when she touches the picture, he takes her picture with quite a number of beautiful convincing pauses, she had no idea he did and now she turns to see him trying to compare the looks

“Who did this”
“Some man, I don’t even remember his name anymore”
“D--n! this is really you I could swear he’s the best you see”

“Yeah you’re probably right, if you want I can ask Jane to call him over and we can have him make one for you especially with what you’re wearing today”
“Silly….I don’t have a company to hang it in front of”

“We can keep it in your room so anyone who enters there to see you can admire it”
“Yeah right? …..thanks but no Sir” Tobi loves it when she speaks in this way, it’s when he usually gets to know she’s so annoyed and irritated and he just enjoys teasing her , everyday he’s just discovering who Melanie truly is and he loves it
“Shall we” he asks her and she quietly follows him inside…..

They both enter to find the receptionist doing what she loves to do the best, applying makeups, it’s not a secrets that the slimy receptionist Janet is so much in love with her boss that she can’t stay away from makeups especially whenever she hears his car drive in, she also wears her best smile with her ever red lips shining so bright……at least all her colleagues at work place know how she’s dying to be his woman, he’s too handsome for a man and she sometimes wishes she was in Jane’s place, she would use the opportunity maximumly and maybe then he would have noticed her because he has failed to notice her all this time yet God only knows how many times she has wedded her boss in her dreams……her only hope has been the fact that Tobi has no woman in his life but today seems different, unlike all the other females he has ever come together with in the office, today, one can see by how bright his eyes are shining that this woman is not just any woman to Mr Tobias, they had stopped out side briefly and talk, she had wanted to spy on in their conversation but she was almost bursted when they started coming inside, she ran for her dear life and tried as much as possible not to look guilty by applying some powder but her face gave her away

“Good morning Sir” she forces a smile and for the very first time as long as she can remember, Tobi directly looks her in the eyes and she couldn’t read his expression because his face head a surprise and at the same time some sarcasm
“Good morning Janet….. don’t you think that lipstick is a little too much, it can scare my clients away I’m sure” Janet felt so embarrassed and so cheap, she could see the pregnant fool standing by her boss’s side is trying so hard to hide her smile and so she refuses to die in her own movie, with her head and shoulder raised up high she forces a smile

“Not at all Sir…. this is how I always do it every other time and no client has ever complained about your receptionist or have they?”

“That’s because, it’s only applied in the morning, during the lunch time and when you’re delivering my files especially in Jane’s absence correct me if I’m wrong” Mel was so sure Tobi had no idea the implication of what he just said is, the babe is so embarrassed so she needed to save the situation
