Must Read: Honorable Secretary (18+)

Three burly guys with guns drawn and pointed were standing in formation, covering the entire room. Standing behind them and looking rather lovely in a frilly yellow dress, was Toyin.

“You? What the hell are you doing here?”
Karishika was vocalizing my exact thoughts. What the hell was she doing here? Japhet who had also come into the sitting room started to speak.

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh Madam, where are your manners? It will do you a world of good to remember who’s calling the shots here; this is not your show so keep your mouth peem until you’re called upon to open it.”

I swear, if not for the gun he was holding Karishika would have jumped him and tore him to shreds that minute. It was obvious she wasn’t used to being talked to in that tone by anybody. The situation was however one she couldn’t remedy, at least for now, so she pursed her lips instead, swallowing whatever caustic retort she had been about to launch.

Toyin emerged from behind the three goons and came towards me. I cowered a bit, since I didn’t know her mission but she just smiled and briefly touched my face when she got close enough.

“Hi lover, it’s so good to see you again. Sorry I went AWOL like that without giving you any warning, it was for the best. I was informed you were quite distraught when you came to check my place after I left. Seriously, I didn’t know I meant that much to you, always thought it was just nacks between us. I’m back now; although I need to tie up some loose ends here first. Hang in there will you?”

I nodded, watching as she went to the far corner and took a seat. Who knows if a bad sharp guy can still come out on the winning side after all the drama is over. No be only politicians dey decamp when election no pure biko.

Japhet cleared his throat.

“I’m sure some of us here are wondering what exactly is happening. Well, let me bring you all up to speed. Please take a seat madam, and you too my guy. Seat back and relax, because this will surely take some time.”

The goons still had guns trained on us all and remained standing, but I found a seat and dropped into it. Karishika did too, hissing loudly.
