The meeting had commenced before she could make it to the office. The alarm
rang but it wasn’t too loud for the deep sleep she had to subject herself to. She
rushed into her office and with a quick stride, she made her way to the board
room. “Yoku is an angel” she breathed. Yoku stood at the other end of the room
while the new head of the Board of Directors made his speech.
The ladies signaled to each other. Yoku looked at her friend pitifully.
She made her way to the entrance so Topa could stand where she was. The meeting
was on top gear.
It was break time. Yoku saw an opportunity to unleash hell on Topa. “Start
talking?” Yoku scolded, Topa almost choked on her cup of ice cream. “I slept late,
the alarm was not supportive, I’m sorry” Topa said apologetically. “You should
be careful you know”. The new head of board of Directors asked to see all the staff before
the commencement of the meeting, I had to lie on your behalf”.
Topa teased Yoku’s nose, Yoku brushed her finger aside. Yoku continued “I
am not joking here. You need to start taking your work serious, I can’t be
lying for you at all times”. Topa’s face graved; Yoku sensed she had said too
much. “I am sorry I scolded you but you have to change”. Topa was cut short on
her response as they both heard the secretary announced the resumption of the
meeting in the next two minutes.
The meeting was concluded. Mr. Randolph stepped out of the office with
the staff behind him. He brought out his phone. Two minutes later, the driver
drove in. Topa slumped.
Everything looked white; she could hear voices, not a single comprehension.
She saw herself in a large-empty-room. She couldn’t move her body. Then a very deep
voice spoke close to her ears. “will she be ok?”.
She opened her eyes into Mr Randolphs’. He smiled. Topa made attempt to
stand but she couldn’t. “Just relax; the doctor said you’ve been into a lot of
stress lately. Just rest, ok?”. She had never heard a voice that deep and
masculine. She could almost hold the words. She made attempt to open her mouth but nothing
came out.
She was released the next day. Yoku came to tidy the house for her. Days
later, they were both having a cup of coffee, and then the doorbell rang. Yoku moved
towards the door. She stood there. “Who is that” Topa asked curiously.
Yoku ignored the question as she calmly stepped aside to reveal the
visitor. Mr. Randolph walked in.
The soothing sight of the man standing looking repentantly handsome made her
to shiver.
Good day sir………….
