Lekki Sisi - S01 E61

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 61

Mimi was attending to a customer when I entered the shop and went straight to her office. I turned on her laptop and began to work on a market survey collation for different baby products.

‘Are you okay?’ Mimi sat on the armrest of the sofa, her palm gently rubbing my back. I nodded but didn’t look up.

I could hear cries of babies coming from a distance. Mimi left the office when one of the sales girls called her.

She was back an hour later while I tapped hard on the keyboard looking for more work to do even though there was nothing else to do.

Mimi moved the laptop away from the table but I stared at the place where the laptop had been.

‘Whenever you work like a force is driving you, I know something is wrong. Spill.’

‘I met my father today.’

‘Mimi gasped. ‘Oh, that’s interesting. How did that happen?’

‘Remember Shade, the lady I said fired me because Monica wanted me out of that company?’

‘Yes I remember. She came to the house asking that you take up the job again.’

I nodded. ‘Today, I discovered that my estranged father is the owner of the company. Shade is my step-sister.’

Mimi eyes widened. ‘This is incredible! So you’ve been working for your father?’

‘Mimi, that’s not even what is driving me nuts. It is the fact that I gave my body to a man who got a job for me in a company that I would rightly have been part of without his help. I am angry at myself for the way things turned out. If I had stayed back at the boutique, Yetunde would have found dad and I’d have just left the boutique honorably for my father’s company. The things I chased would have come without going through those horrible experiences.’

‘Tinuke, you cannot change the past.’

‘But it doesn’t change the fact that I was stupid. I am just a disgusting and useless-’

‘Stop talking that way! What is wrong with you. Who doesn’t have a past?’
