Chapter 7

John and Sonia sat at the front seat. John was looking at the husband but the husband did as if he didn't not see him.

Few minutes later the bride danced happily and rejoiced with her friends as they came forward to the priest. It is time to Join the two together as one.

The priest said " Is there anyone in this gathering that doesn't want us to unite this two together as husband and wife should stand up or remain silent forever".

Before the priest could add more words John stood up and all the congregation shouted "Haaaa!!!!!!!".

Amanda was getting furious and her anger was boiling.

The groom looked at John with a killing eyes.

John said "I want to go and use the bathroom that is why I stand up or is there something bad about that".

As John was moving toward the bathroom Cynthia, who was sitting beside the groom's family, excused herself to meet John outside.

"Good afternoon sir I thought you said you had a wedding to attend today or is it this wedding you are referring to" Cynthia asked.

John responded "Yes it is this wedding I was talking about, so the groom is the one of workers 

"Yes he his the head of the jewelry department, alright sir I will be leaving first" Cynthia said.

John also went back to the church after the priest had joined the couple and as announced them as both husband and wife.

Amanda was panicking about John's appearance and the way he dressed, she had it in mind to confront him when next she had the opportunity to see him.

John and Sonia drive down to where the  party  is been head, they join the party. 

A few minutes later Amanda approaches John and Amanda sits rudely

Amanda asked "Who invited you this poor thing you better go and return the suit and all these expensive things you are putting on. Who knows maybe it was a stonle material because I know you can't afford this all your entire life".

As Amanda continued talking Cynthia was approaching John and Sonia sit but looking at the bride standing in front of them.

Cynthia said congratulations you Mrs 

Cynthia said "Sir the CEO of the digital global company is here, she said she wants to meet with you should I direct her here".

John replied "Don't worry I will go and meet her

This got Amanda angry as she lifted her hand to slap John  Sonia, get her hand in the air and pull it down. 

Amanda faced Sonia and said " What is the gut you have to touch me with this your flirty hand".

Sonia replied " You must be out of your mind how dare you raise up your hand to slap a man". 

John cleared his throat and said " Amanda you are very lucky that I am in a good mood. If not you should have been dealt with so take your time this John you are looking at him not the same as the John you always know".

John and Cynthia and Sonia left to meet the CEO of the Digital global company. Surprisingly it was Becky, his old friend from the University. As they both saw each other, they both hugged each other.

Becky said, " John, it has been a long time. The last time we met was when we were posted to different places for our NYSC. During that time of service I lost my phone so that was where I stored all my contacts''.

Becky continued "Can you wait for me because I want to meet the CEO of the Beauty Global Concept after the meeting I will come back to see you".

John smiled and replied "Actually am the new CEO of the Beauty Global Concept".

" Are you for real because I used to know Mr Anthony as the CEO of the company and later it was his wife after his accident and some months ago his wife died so how come? '' Becky asked in curiosity.

John answered " It's a long story I will tell you when we have the time to talk better, so what did you want to tell me".

Becky replied " Your company had a deal with our company and after the deal your company did not complete their payment as promised and I spoke with the acting CEO Mr Patrick Roland" about the payment but he keeps giving excuses".

"Sorry for the disappointment, although this is the first time I will be hearing such a thing since I have been appointed as CEO. It's okay i will see to that first thing on Monday" John answered.

"Am counting on you don't disappoint us, okay let focus on the party" Becky replied.

John smiled and said " I won't be spending much time here because I have a lot to do at home".

"Okay are single or is it this beautiful lady in blue the lucky woman". Becky asked.
