Lekki Sisi - S01 E04

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

My new place of work was on the ground floor of a shopping complex painted white. A boutique with tinted glass door.

There was a catering shop on the second floor of the building and a jewelry shop on the topmost floor.

The complex was already bustling with activities. A young girl swept the veranda on the second floor. Another cleaned the windows with a brush. A woman came out of the jewelry shop followed by another woman decked with gold.

I stopped in front of the boutique. A lady in a black t-shirt and blue jeans came out with a mop bucket.

‘Good morning.’ I said, trying to impress her with a fake British accent.

She smiled and bowed slightly. ‘Good morning ma’am. You are welcome to Betty’s boutique. Please come in and take a look at what we have.’

I raised my hand. ‘I’m not here to buy anything. I have an appointment with the owner of this place.’

‘Oh…she is not here yet. But you can come in and wait for her.’

She led me into the boutique and past the clothes lined at different sections. I gasped when I saw the prices of some of the gowns.
