YOU CAME LOOKING FOR ME
Reuben went to work that day with a pinch of excitement.He went through his normal routine.Since it was the last day of the week, the workload was unusually heavy but he managed to pull through.Some few hours before his closing time, he was returning from a delivery when he saw his colleagues all gathered in the compound of the company's premises.He went to park his bike and got down from it.He quickly went over to his colleagues to find out what was happening that had caused them to gather that way.Immediately they saw him coming, they began paving the way for him to enter.Surprised by his colleagues' act, he walked through the paved way till he got to the middle of the circle.He saw his manager standing in the middle of the circle with a smile on his face." What is going on here?" He asked with a surprised look." We are gathered here becauseMY INNAUGRATION IS TOMORROW Reuben rode for about a minute with stalker behind him.Then he stopped and parked by the roadside He noticed the stalker had also stopped some hundred metres behind him and was pretending to be busy on the phone.Reuben got down from the motorbike and began walking back to the stalker.He walked and was looking on the ground as if he had lost something.He did that so as to make the stalker think he was unaware of the him. He walked until he got close to the man on the motorbike.He realized the man was the same man whose picture he had seen earlier on the iPad in the morning.He nodded as he kept looking on the ground. When he got to the man in his motorbike, he asked him a question." Excuse me sir, it looks like I dropped my wallet a minute ago, have you by any chance come across it?" He asked "No… I just…." Before the man could c
INNAUGRATION DAY" Well, my inauguration is tomorrow," Reuben replied." Oh kk, can I come with you?" Annabelle asked." Unfortunately, no. It is restricted to only the staff and board members of the company." Reuben said sadly." awwn. All the same good luck on it.You need to sleep early tonight so you prepare for the occasion". Annabelle said." Oh no, let's talk for sometime, I will not go there early so you have nothing to worry about" Reuben said " I don't like that sound. I know you, you need to sleep. Go to bed now. Good night and sweet dreams. Bye " Annabelle said and before Reuben could say anything else, she hung up.Reuben shook his head while smiling." Always stubborn" He exclaimed as he walked towards his dressing mirror. Although he wanted to speak with Annabelle for a while, he was also glad he had gained enough to to rest.He was very tired and need
THE NEW SUPERVISOR By the end of the ceremony, Reuben had officially been given the position of the supervisor.The key to his new apartment was given to him and so were the keys to his new vehicle.His new office was allocated to him.That day after the ceremony, Reuben went home in a brand new Hyundai Tucson. At about 2pm, he was on his way home.The company had arranged for a truck to convey Reuben's goods from the company's residence to his new apartment in the Altezza Estate.In essence, Reuben did not drive to his former residence but to the new one.His plan was to wait for the goods to arrive before he left to see Annabelle. ***************Grandma woke up the next morning to the ring of her phone.She answered the call and placed the phone to her ear." Hello, Good morning Mrs Anderson, I am on my way to your place now" The voice said." Okay" Grandma re
THE DINNER Annabelle emerged from her bedroom with a gift box in her hand. " This is for you, on your promotion" She said as she handed the gift over to Reuben. Reuben took the box from her with a surprised look." Thank you sunshine. You are the best." Reuben said.He tried to unwrap the box and open it but Annabelle stopped her immediately." No..no..no. You are not supposed to open it here. At least wait till you get home".Annabelle said as she restricted him from opening the box." Fine, I hear you. So are you ready for our outing?" Reuben asked." Oh yes, as you can see I'm already dressed up, we can go but just give me a moment" Annabelle said and ran to her bedroom once again.Reuben walked to the outside of the apartment and stood on the veranda in wait for Annabelle Annabelle emerged a minute later in the veranda with a hair clip in her hands trying to bind her hair together.She was finding it a bit hard since the clip was a new one." Let me help you," Reuben offered
THE BEST OPTIONReuben and Annabelle walked into the restaurant and chose a table at a corner.As soon as they sat, a waitress approached them." Good evening and welcome to our restaurant., what would you like to have today?The waitress said with a bow.He handed them both a menu each." You go first. Order" Reuben said as he placed his menu on the table" I'll take the jollof rice and chicken sauce. A bottle of water and a champagne" Annabelle said to the waitress The waitress took the order and turned to Reuben. " I'll take the same thing except the champagne. Just come along with two wine glasses"Reuben said to the waitress.The waitress left to get their orders."So, how do you see this place?" Reuben asked Annabelle. " The place is nice, how did you get to know of this place?" Annabelle asked him." I came to deliver something here a few days ago. I found out this place was quite good and affordable" Reuben said with a smile." I guess so, the place looks neat and serene
YOU SCARED MEReuben drove to Annabelle's house and then to his new apartment.Annabelle spent the night in Reuben's apartment.They planned to go visit Grandpa Roland the next morning to inform him about Reuben's new position and the final preparation towards their marriage.**********Grandma Anderson was contemplating on what to do next to get to Reuben. She had to find a way to get him.She did not want him dead, no. She wanted him alive so she could torture him.But all his efforts to get to him proved futile as Reuben always made sure that whoever she sent after him would immediately quit the job after an encounter with him.But for now, she needed to get her concentration from Reuben for a while, she needed to attend to her Louisa.She had already sent a message across to all the most important elders in the family.She had invited them over to dinner in her own ho
YOU ARE ACTUALLY RIGHT Reuben and grandpa broke from the embrace and they both sat down." Very good boy, you have made me proud," Grandpa said." Thank you very much Grandpa, actually you all have been an inspiration. You all helped me make this happen. Thank you all" Reuben said with a smile.After chatting about the job and Reuben's new position for a while, grandpa finally asked them about their final deliberation for their marriage. " Well grandpa, as you know, it is coming off on Friday. And there will only be a small celebration after the legal work at my place.We actually planned it to be at my old place but because of this new development, it will be held at my new place." Reuben explained." That's good but how many people are you expecting and how do you intend to entertain them?" Grandpa asked."Well, only my colleagues and Anna's colleagues will be present, roughly about 30.With the food and drinks, we have ordered a catering company for a small buffet for the mem

So tell me, who is this girl you say knows about Williams?" Grandma asked as soon as they sat down.Louisa heaved a sigh before explaining." I recently employed new staff in the company following the resignation and retirement of some of the old staff.So after the recruitment process we decided to hold a briefing for them in the form of an orientation about the job.That was what I went to do yesterday. But when we finished with the meeting I had to
