Must Read: A Simple Life On Paper - Season 1 - Episode 3

Those three were actually creative and sharp. The other
guys that came up later were mentally late. Emeka
behaved as if he was a more important than all of us in
the office and considered the fact that Uzomaka was
also Igbo as his exclusive right to her attention.
Patrick was always busy online. Blackberry should sue
him using their device beyond its prescribed basic use.

He couldn’t design a gate when I asked him to.

He
couldn’t design a low-cost two bedroom semi-detached,
he could not repair workshop. To make matters worse…

he is slow at typing on a regular PC!
A two months after I had paid my rent I got a call from
an unknown number. It was my landlord Chief Balogun.

After our pleasantries, he inquired if the caretaker had
gotten in touch with me. He sounded annoyed when the
answer was negative. He said he was coming over the
next day. He had something to do in the compound. I had
no problem with that. It was going to be Saturday.
Saturday was just another boring day. I was at home
watching some movies I had downloaded over the week
and drinking my homemade jug of milkshakes (I would
buy bananas, a whole pineapple, watermelon, oranges
and a litre of yogurt then I would blend them up in
batches). I had completely forgotten about my landlord’s
arrival. The man ended up coming sometime around
three in the afternoon. His driver knocked on my door
and told me Chief was waiting in the opposite apartment.

I went to my room, put on a shirt and went to meet him.

He was with a lady and they hushed whatever they were
talking about when they felt my presence. She looked
really alluring. She had an lean figure with just the right
amount of curves to count as an eight but that was not
what made stand in awe for a brief second; She had
such a beautiful face I did not even notice she was
busty!

Chief introduced her as his daughter Tinuke. She was
going to serve in the state so she decided to take up the
only vacant apartment he had in the estate. Then he
went on to tell me how the caretaker had been collecting
huge sums of money for the annual renovation of each
flat. He had discovered it the other day when I told him I
effected the renovations from my own pocket so he
asked a quantity surveyor to estimate the cost of the
work I had done and told the caretaker to pay me back
the said amount.

We went around the apartment and she was alright with
it. There were some minor points of concern that I
pointed out to them and He was in agreement. The both
rode off in the Prado after the chief made his intention to
sue his caretaker for a gross negligence of duty.
When I thought of Tinuke; a bone grows. For the first
time in a long time, a lady featured in my dreams.
At work, the ladies were in the middle of a territorial
display between Greg and Emeka. They would raise their
voices and generally be rude to each other. Then they
would try and get the support of Maryann, Irene, Bunmi
or Uzomaka. I avoided their confrontations as best I
could. My mind usually went into work.
Uzi had started being nice to me all of a sudden. She
went out with Bunmi for lunch and got me a takeaway
bag. I was so stupefied that it was showing on my face.

“You work too hard. I would not like to see you get an
ulcer” she said with a wink as she went majestically
walked back to her seat. I think I said, “thank you” at one
point but I am not too sure.
