Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 50

“To you I’m Miss Janet not flatly Janet…… you’re not my friend and I don’t intend to become your friend either” Mel can’t believe this Lady is this cruel, she wonders how she was able to convince Tobi to get this position, she tries to ignore her cruelty anyway

“Is Tobi in” Janet looks around as if she’s not aware they are the only ones in the room
“Are you talking to me?….. was it my boss you referred to as Tobi….. I can’t believe you’re this indisciplined …..”

“What’s your problem with me….have we had any encounter before”

“I don’t have any reason to explain myself to you, if you’re here to start work, do so, go to where your supervisor is and stop asking for people who care less if you’re here or not” just then Jane comes out and hears the last bit of the conversation and she’s so furious with Janet

“Good morning Melanie” Mel turns to face Jane and they smile at each other and share a hug

“Morning Jane how are you”
“Very fine Darling, are you starting today”
“Not really…. I came to see….”
“Tobi Right??” Janet is more shocked even Jane is calling him by his names…..

“He’s on his way, he just called saying he was taking care of something important but he’s on his way….you can wait for him, the office is open”

“Thanks….”
“Go on in…..I will follow you” she wait till when Mel was out of ear shot and turns to face Janet tge witch

“If you know what’s good for you and still value your position in this company, drop the bitterness and get along with miss Melanie and listen careful……drop this stupid fantasy about Tobi ever noticing you and start looking for a suitable young man out there because he’s never going to notice you…….. but the next time you do what you did today, Tobi will definitely get to know about it because personally I will tell him”
“Is that a warning?”
“No it’s a threat”…..

Tobi drives and packs his car at a supermarket, he hoped out and heads in….he doesn’t even know what he wants to pick but he felt he needed to pick something for Mel, he picks her favourite vanilla flavoured ice cream, some biscuits, he’s going to keep the ice cream in his fridge until when he leaves the office, he will drop it at Mel’s in the evening,…… he picks a red Rose and heads out, he’s not going to give the rose to her just yet, he will wait till when it’s the right time to confess his feeling to her but he could not resist the urge to write on a pad and stamp it on the rose, he throws it in the shopping bag and heads to the office, it’s now coming to 11am………..

it took him less than ten minutes to reach the office, he collects his bag and the shopping bag and heads inside
” Good morning Janet ”
“Morning sir…..welcome” her usual smile is there

“Thanks…. anything new?”
“No…nothing but Jane is in her office”
“Good….” he heads directly to his office and pushes it open only to see Mel sleeping in his chair resting her head on the hard office table

“Melanie….What time did you even get here” he asks but she’s not hearing him, he walks over to her and touches her warm forehead, she wakes up sharply

“Are you sick?….do you have a fever” she shakes her head indicating no
“Just hungry….it’s like I never had breakfast”

“Here take this, I got this for you and had plans of taking it to you on my way home….. why didn’t you call to tell me you were coming” Mel grabs the bag
“My battery was dead and I had no plans of coming here in the first place….. what’s in here” she asks and Tobi realises he had made a huge mistake but before he can react, Mel gets the rose out

“Who is this for”
“I got it for Jane…. to thank her for always doing her works expectedly and for being so obedient…. hand it here, I shall give it to her, you can’t hold or read something that’s not yours” he wants to take it from her but Mel is not letting him get it that easily
“Did you say Jane?…. since when has she changed her name or is it her second name?” Tobi is so busted and embarrassed
“To the best woman in the entire world, the most beautiful from inside out….. I love you Melanie and forever will” she reads out loud and Tobi is so dumbfounded…..
