She leaned forward. ‘Relax. Aunty Tope already told me how hardworking you are. She said you helped your mother build the family’s pure water business. I admire that. But I still want to know why you want to work here.’

I sighed. ‘I guess.. I mean…I believe I will gain experience here.’

She smiled. ‘How much are you willing to be paid?’

I frowned. I had never been asked that kind of question before. ‘Anything.’

‘If I say 10,000 naira.’

I shook my head. ‘I mean any reasonable amount ma.’

‘50,000 naira is what we offer our sales representatives.’

Sales what? But Aunty Tope said the position was for a Boutique Supervisor. What was this girl saying again. ‘Please what’s my position here?’

‘Sales representative. You’ll sell clothes to customers and assist in pulling customers in.’

I wanted to stand up and leave. But the thought of returning to Akure, back to my old life and back to Kunle kept me glued to my seat. ‘When do I start work?’

‘Monday. You have the weekend to get yourself ready for your new job. We run shifts here. 7:30 to 3p.m and 3p.m to 10p.m. This includes Saturday. You’ll also take online orders and follow up on deliveries. If you have any questions, talk to the head of the Sales.’

I left the boutique sad. Sales rep? I’ll be selling clothes? As I stepped out of the building, two ladies got down from a Toyota Camry and walked towards the boutique. I wished I had a magic wand to move all the money in their account to mine.
