I woke up at exactly 10:00 am in the morning, this was something I wasn’t used to because back then I had to wake around 5:00 am to prepare for work and to top it off the bed that Uloma and I used to share was very uncomfortable, let’s not even talk about her snoring too but those days are officially over.
"Ring, Ring..., Ring.” My phone started to ring.
It was Maggie.
"Hey, Maggie what’s up.” I said with that early morning voice.
"Ae you just waking up?” she asked.
"Yeah what’s up.” I responded as I sat up.
"Well yesterday you asked me to buy BRADON the company that houses the small company CELL, I have get news, with the help of my influence and your money of course, we have been able to buy BRADON.” She said.
I jumped off from the bed. I am now the boss of BRADON, where my sister in law, said I should work as a cleaner.
"Well done and thank you Maggie, thanks so much, you will surely be rewarded for this.” I said smiling.
"You are welcome Mr. Dumebi, you know you can always trust me. It’s always a pleasure to serve you. Your balance and all the necessary document have been sent to you, I have also organized a lawyer, I will also be joining you at the company later today, so that all other necessary formalities will be carried out.” She said as she hanged up.
I was all over the moon to know that I now owned BRADON. I quickly had a quick shower and got dressed in my regular cloth, I haven't had the time to go shopping for new clothes, still have some finished business to attend to, besides there’s still my lost my memories from the past three years.
As soon as I got out of the shower, I got ready and realized that I also needed a cool ride, something to use to get around, I can always do it later I guess.
Sooner than expected I got to CELL. I looked in amazement that this whole company, plus the other sub companies under BRADON now belonged to me, I mean just yesterday I was still cleaning the tables and obeying orders, being pushed around.
"Hey, hey, hey you what are you doing here?" One of the security cut my thoughts short.
"Oh, good day, I am here to see the president of the company please." I replied.
"Do you have an appointment with him? Are you sure you are here to the president?” he asked as he was sizing me.
"Actually I do, the president is probably expecting me as we speak at the moment.” I replied.
"But he didn’t give any instructions of your appointment, sir we don’t wont wahala o, not just anybody can come here to see a staff, how much more the president, we have to be sure and confirm that he's really expecting you.” Another security guy said.
I guess I can’t really blame them for questioning me like this, after all I appear like a cleaner and not the new boss.
"Let me explain….”
"Dumebi, what are you doing here?” Lizzy cut me short as she arrived the front gate with a tall good looking man beside her.
"What are you doing here? Are you following me, can’t you just leave my family alone, God.” She added being over dramatic.
"I am not following you, I’m here to meet with the president of your company.” I replied ignoring her immediately.
"You want to meet with the president!” she exclaimed as she started to laugh.
"You useless man, you dare step your foot here and open your mouth to say you are here to see the president, do you think our president is ready to listen to a useless man, who couldn’t even take care of his wife and even save his marriage."
"Oh oh oh wait I know why you are here now, you took my advice last time seriously and you decided to apply for the cleaner job right? But Dumebi I was just joking, there’s no way I will let them hire you, can you just leave, you can never get to meet the president.” she said laughing.
"Who told you I'm here for that?" I sneered,"
I'm your new boss!""My boss? Are you insane?" She almost laughed to tears."He's absolutely crazy! Hey you stupid security men, can’t you do your job. Please get this misfit, useless man out of here, are you guys deaf?” The man standing beside Lizzy shouted, as the two security men jumped off their post and walked towards me. "Yes,sir!"The security guards shouted.“Mark let’s not waste time here , let’s go inside.” Lizzy said as they both walked into the building leaving me with the security men. "Hey,you jerk leave here right now,or I'll make you regret it forever!” One of the security men yelled."Don't waste time on him. Mr Mark is the head of HR department. Beat him up and throw him out of here,we'll definitely get a promotion!" A tall man snickered.Head of HR department?Interesting. I thought that I'd got the first thing to do after signing the contract."Throw him out!"They surrounded me immediately. They were too weak. I didn't even move a bit as they were getting close to me.One of them w
As we walked through the hospital corridor, I couldn’t help but be more infatuated by Dr. Paula’s beauty, I mean there was no surprise to why I would actually chase her. Then suddenly she turned to me. "Alright we are here, this is the lab, there are just some series of tests we need to run, trust me it won’t hurt and the process is fast.” She smiled at me. I couldn’t help but notice how she looked like she was not from earth. I was lost staring at her face when Trina wiggled me from my trance. "What’s wrong with you, get yourself together and enter the lab.” Trina said as she pushed me into the lab. As expected from a secret organisation specialist hospital, the lab was on point, they had all the equipment. I'm talking the analyzers, ELISA Reader, Spirometers and all. This made me more eager to know who exactly these Dark Dragons are to have such a powerful hospital, with all these numerous staffs and all. "Sit down here.” Paula said as she called one of the lab scientists t
"If I were you,I'd choose to shut up."I stepped towards them slowly, staring at their eyes like my prey.Now,I'm the king of the DARK Dragon,not the despised son-in-law any more.As I went closer to them,they stepped back with fear."Hahaha,cowards!" I laughed mockingly. They're just ants in my eyes,not even cockroaches."Listen I am not here for you so it’s none of your business. Mind your own business and you'll be grateful for your smartness one day.""You might be able to enter and go out of a bank, but Dumebi this place is definitely not for, this event is for only the rich not for commoners, so find yourself back to wherever you stay now.” Emeka said laughing.He's pretending. I could tell that from his trembling hands. "Well I don’t mean to be rude, but if you keep talking to my boyfriend like this, I will be forced to make sure you both don’t attend this function and FYI his name is no longer Dumebi, his name is Tony. Tony lets go.” Maggie said as she locked her arm with mi
"But…”“Apologise right now, don’t get me angry.” "I can’t simply apologise to this cockroach.” He said.“Really? Okay, good, then get out!” Mr. Wellington exclaimed. "What? I should get out? Seriously.” He said looking so puzzled. “Yes I said it, please leave right now and don’t let me call security.” “Okay, okay I will apologise.” Allen clamoured. “it's too late for that now, the mere sight of you disgust me, you are such a rude man and you lack manners, get out of my party!”He knelt down, he tried to beg, just when I was about to say something "It’s too late for that now, the mere sight of you disgust me, you are such a rude man and you lack manners, please get out of my party!” He shouted one last time. Allen pick up his belongs and stormed out of there in anger. The look on Uloma and Emeka’s face was priceless, with that I am pretty sure they will remain silent for the rest of the party. “I am truly sorry about that little disruption, please Mr. Tony enjoy the party
"Hey, I am talking to you, are you deaf Dumebi?” she shouted further. "Look I did not come here to visit you or did I tag you as soon as I entered the building. Stop being jobless and get yourself something to do.” I responded as I turned away. "You? Who do you think you are? Look at me well I am not Uloma, I will deal with you thoroughly if you don’t…” "Look Mrs. or is it Miss. because I recall you ain’t married, anyways I assume you must have a dozen work to do, I am pretty sure if one of your bosses see you talking to a visitor I wonder what will happen to you.” I said as she wanted to talk. She realised I was right. "Just because the security men allowed, does not mean you are anything, anyways I don’t have much time to waste on cockroaches like you.” She added as she went back to her work. I couldn’t expect more from her, so I wasn’t so surprised with all her tactics. I then sat down at the reception lobby waiting for John because I knew he would be there anytime fro
"Let me go, you useless man.” She added. At that moment I recalled that voice, I turned my face and saw her. "Mama!” I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?” I asked in shock. "What am I doing here? What am I doing here! Or what are you doing here? You know, I have said it many times, I know you cannot stay away from my daughter but you must follow her everywhere, no must you?” she asked, being overly dramatic. "Mama, I wasn’t following anyone, if I am not mistaken you were the one who was actually following me.” I replied as I let go of her hand. "Is that the way to talk to your elders, much less me a fine woman and mother of two beautiful girls, two women whose standard you can never reach, oh, oh or you think my daughter didn’t inform me that you are now following a rich woman who is a director of big bank." "You can do all your prostitution but you'll always be poor no matter what you do for you.” She added as she left. I stood there wondering how exactly I put up wit
As I was about to leave the elevator they started to rant all over again. "You can’t go to the utmost floor without a special card dummy.” Uloma said again. I was pissed. "Haven’t you guys gotten to your stop yet, why are you still here?” I asked knowing fully well that the elevator had passed their stop. "What is that supposed to mean, that we are jobless and following you around?” Emeka asked knowing fully well that it is exactly what was happening here. "Look you need a card to access the floor, you clearly don’t have that card so don’t try to fool us ok, just go back home or wherever you are coming from, Ok?” Allen added. I remained focused on the elevator door as I really had no intention of getting tangled up with these people, sometimes I got excited with some people I met while I had lost my memory, but most times I wished there was no Dumebi and the life he had. Allen was upset that I ignored them and pulled me towards a corner in the lift. He placed his hands at
Mr.Wellington observed me with full focus, as I stared at him. "I hope something bad hasn’t happened, Mr. Tony?” He asked. "No.” I replied. "I just needed your expertise for my company.” I added. "Your company sir?” He asked as he stared at me in utmost shock. "Mr. Tony you have a company, was that the business you were talking about?” He asked, with a relieved tone. "I must say you are really ambitious and what is the name of your company sir?” He enquired further. "I bought BRADON, it’s a multi-national company and I have thought of no other person than you to give an advice." I responded feeling optimistic and proud of myself. "You bought BRADON? I know BRADON, it’s a really sophisticated company.” Mr Wellington looked at me with more amazement. "Rendering assistance to you in whatever way you require will be very okay by me sir. Helping you with this will be such an honour.” Mr. Wellington said, still feeling the shock of the news of my company. I can see how m
