"That means she don finally employed nah"
The gateman said and made his way out.
"Please you guys should have a sit"
He said.
"I don't know you accept my offer"
He said.
"It just a coincidence because I never knew you will be the one I will be working for"
I said looking at somewhere else.
He laughed and said, "And I love that coincidence that happened now, so are you accepting the offer?

"I got no choice beside I have already quit my job so when am I starting work?
I said.
"I will like you to start today if it is okay by you"
He said.
"I will start tomorrow because I still need to inform my mother about the job"
I said.
"Okay no problem, your time schedule for the work will be twelve hours that is you will be coming around six in the morning and be going six in the evening"
He said.
"It is okay by me but how much will be my salary?
I asked.
"Your salary will be base on weekly because I will not stay too long in this village so you weekly salary will be fifteen thousand naria"
He said.
I was so surprised that I will be playing fifteen thousand for a week.
"Sister fiftteen thousand Naria for a week"

"Thank you sir, I will start work tomorrow"
I said as we stood up to leave.
"Imagine I did not offer my guest something"

I replied.
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning"
He said and we made our way out.
"Sister fifteen thousand naria a week!
Rita shouted as soon as we came out from the gate.
"I was so surprise when he said that, I only got payed at Oga Ik's shop six thousand a month"

I said still find it diffcult to believe that I will be paying with such amount.
"Sister did you know how much you will make if you calculate the money times a month, this is comfrim salary for life"
Rita shouted with so much happiness.
"Salary for life indeed, he onces offer me the job but I rejected it little did I know that I will soon accept the offer later"

We got home feeling so excited.
I informed mother about the new Job and the awesome salary I will be paying for a week, she accepted it sharp sharp without waisting any seconds because of the amount I will be paying beside mother and money collaborate together.
I prepared dinner, eat happily and slept peacefully without any troubles or nagging from mother.

I thought.
I was so worried and lost in thought that I don't even know when mother came inside and Scared me by tapping me on the shoulder.
"Mother! You scared me.
I said in a low tune.
"What is bothering you Lucy? I have been calling you for all ages and watches you murmuring to yourself, what is it?
She asked as she held my hand.
"Mother you won't understand"

"Talk to me, am your mother I will understand yo, come and sit and tel me what's bothers you"

She asked being so serious to know.
"His name is James but I don't know his father's name and he came back recently"
I said expecting to hear I know him from her.
"Wait oooo! Can you describe his look?
SHe asked.
"He is tall in average, chocolate in complexion, gap teeth with pointed nose that suit his handsome face and he is very rich too"
I described him.

She paused awhile probably thinking if she meant recall somebody like that.
"He meant be James the only son to late Chife Kanu a propular rich man in this village and the mother is our president of the woman wings, he just came back recently"
She said.
"Yes mother! He must be him"

JOYCE

Today Is my first day at work by six am sharp am ready at his house, I don't to be at my first day.
"So early?Oga never wake up ooo"
The gateman asked.
"My work start by six so I need to be early"
I said and walked inside the sitting room.
I starred at the big sitting room, I smiled at the moment I saw a statue at the center table.

I walked closer to the center table.
"He must be his father, they look so much alike"
I said as I touches the statue.
I looked around wondering where I will start today's cleaning up.
I decided to check the kitchen and know how far.
The kitchen is so big too, the kitchen equipment are well organized.
I went back to the sitting room, swept it, dust and mop it.
Went back to the kitchen and cleaned it up too, before 7:30 am done with everything waiting for him to come.
I sat at the dinning table humming my song as I keep waiting for him.
Few mintues later, he came down.
"Good morning sir!
I greeted him, still wearing his pajama.
"Morning Joyce, how was your night?
He asked and sat at the sitting room.
"It was good sir"
I answered and followed him.
"You came early"
He said.
Have he forgotten he Is the one that gave me time schedule.
"Sir you gave me a time schedule to be coming around six am"
I said.
"Oh! That's true"
He said.
"Sir what will you like to have for breakfast?
I asked.
"C'mon Joyce! Enough of this sir of a thing am not old to be addressing as sir just call me by my name James"
He sounded.
"Okay sir, what will like to have for breakfast?
I repeated it.
"Sir again!
He sounded.

I scratches my head and apologized.
"I will like to have toasted bread with fried egg and coffee"
He said.
I went back to the kitchen, prepared his breakfast and dished it out at the dinning table and called him to have his breakfast.
"Where are you going Joyce, won't you have breakfast with me?
He asked.
"Thank you sir, I have eaten"
I replied.
"I still insist for you to join me, I don't want to eat only"
He said with smiles.
I got no choice but to accept his request, he dished out from his food and gave me.
"Thank you sir"
I replied feeling uncomfortable.
"Ouch! This taste awful"
I shouted as I tasted the coffee.
He started laughing at me and the laugh makes me to look so embrassed.
"Don't you like it?
He asked still laughing.
"I don't like it taste so bad"
I replied still feeling the taste of the coffee.
I don't know that coffee tastes so bad, I thought it tastes good filled with milky since is rich people that used to drink it, I don't know is this bad.
"If you see how your face is you will laugh until your ribs start to pain you"
He laughed out loudly again making me to be more ashamed.

I covered my face with my hands and stood up to leave.
"Don't walk out Joyce! I didn't mean to laughed at you that way, it just that the way you kept your face was so funny"
He said holding my hand.
I kept mute, still shy.
"Am sorry Joyce! There's Milo at the cupboard there you may go and take it"
He sounded.
"Thanks sir, I don't want to drink again"
I said still feeling ashamed.
"Why Joyce, is it because of the way I laughed at you but I said am sorry"
He apologized holding his ears.
"No sir, is not it"
I said and dont know the excuse to give him.
"If it is not it then why are you now refusing to have the tea again with me?
He asked.
"Its really nothing Sir"
I said not to upset him.
"Since you said is nothing can you now go and get the Milo let drink together my coffee is getting cold"
He said.

I went and brought the Milo we started drinking, I felt so uncomfortable glancing at my tea to aviod eye contact with him waiting for who will start up a conversation you know it won't be me, it will definitely be him.
"So Joyce tell me more about your life"
He break up the silence after a few minutes.
"Sir, there's nothing special about my life"
I sounded still not looking at him.
"Why is that? There suppose to be something interesting about you?
He said so surprised to heard that.
"Sir, you Won't understand"
I said.
"Then make me to understand you Joyce"
He said being so interested to know.
"Sir, let just live it for another day"
I said.
"I will not force you to tell me the reason why you said so seem its personal to you"
He said.
"Thank you sir!
I sounded.
"C'mon Joyce I have told you several times to stop addressing as sir or are you wishing me to grow old so soon?
He sounded with smiles that's when I looked at him since we started with the tea.
"No sir! It just that you are my boss and I can't address you by your name"
I replied.
"It is okay by me so stop the sir of a thing and call me by my name"
He sounded with smiles.
I nodded my head in agreement of what he said.

Done with the tea, cleared the dinning table, washed the dishes. He went outside probably to take his bath.
Nothing to do anymore so I decided to go outside and see how big the compound is.
I walked around the compound glancing at everywhere, the garage is so big with cars parked in.
"Good morning Uncle!
I greeted the gateman as I came cross him.
"Morning Joyce!
He responded, he even knew my name.
"Uncle I wonder how you manage to live in this big compound only you without any fear?
I asked.

He laughed and said, "This house is like my own house so why should I be afraid of staying alone beside I have lived for almost four years now"
He replied chewing his chewing stick with his radio near to his ear.
"No wonder!
I sounded.
"This my Oga here, he Is a very good man and very rich too, he Is the only son to late Chife Kanu a very popular man"
He said as he spit out the chewing stick water and brush his teeth.
Why is he telling me all this?
I thought.
"Oh I see!
I said.
"Any woman he will marry will be on pot of soup"
He added again.

Some mintues later, I over heard my name.
"It seem my Oga is coming me let me go and answer him"
I said and ran inside.
"You called me Sir!
I said as I met him at the sitting room.
"Yes, I came down I did not see you so I called to know where you are"
He replied.
"I was outside walking around the big compound"
I answered.
"Okay, I hope you know how to prepare soup?
He asked.
See question ooo, me wan be chef of the house.
"Yes sir, very well"
I replied.
"I will like to eat afam soup it has been long since I had that soup, I hope this 20k will be enough to buy the food stuff?
He asked bring out money from this wallet.
"Sir, it is too much"
I replied.
"Don't worry you can keep the remaining balance"
He said.
"You mean I should keep the remaining balance that will come out from the money?
I asked to be sure that I heard correctly.
"You heard me everywhere"
He replied as he stood up to switch on the television.
"Okay Sir, let me run along to the market before lunch time will be ready"
I said and went out.
20k to prepare afam soup and keep the remaining balance that will come out from it, this one scatter my brain oooo.
He is good but looking at him you will thought he will be harsh and arrogant.
