章節 118: Back Home
Sky sat at the back of the car with Dwayne as they drove to the airport. She was exhausted, they finished the press conference thirty minutes ago and she had to rush to her aunt place to get something for her mom.
Ma'am, Femi really did good with the press, I didn't know he could be that matured, you know, with his lifestyle and all. Chiamanda said to her boss.
Yeah the boy surprised me. And Ms Sky, the boy really likes you...how did you do it? Dwayne asked.
Well we connected, Sky said smiling. He's accepted to move to the Capital, I'm working on his admission already. He's going to be staying in the school campus, I'll be his guardian.
That's very nice of you ma'am, Chiamanda said, looking at Bones as he drove.
Bones smiled as he heard Chiamanda complemented the boss. That's one of the things he liked about Ms Sky, she has a heart of gold, just like her predecessor.
Wow boss that's wonderful, please teach me how to win people over ma'am.
Ahhhhhhh Sky said with a wicked smile on her face, do you really want to know Dwayne?
Yes ma'am...Dwayne said with all seriousness.
Hmmmmmm well, Mr Teffa, Sky said as she took his hand in his. It won't be that difficult for you...maybe with the boys but not with the girls...Cause you have a very beautiful face.
Bones bust into laughter as he heard his boss talk to Dwayne. Chiamanda held her laugh and chuckled quietly.
Awwww boss that isn't fair. Dwayne said pouting.
Don't cry baby, I'm just kidding but seriously your face will be of good help. I'll teach you, she said ....parting his shoulder.
Mr Afam also did good and even our own Mr Dokun. You are good boss, Dwayne said giving his boss thumps up.
Thank you too, you all did good. Now the first phase of this case is over...we have to think of how to get Mr Jide and we have to be discreet.
And Dwayne? she said looking out the window.
Yes boss, Dwayne answered, turning to look at her.
Everyone has something they cherish, something they want to protect. Some is family, some is a loved one while to some, it can be money, security. etc. I only reached out to them and protected that which i know they cherish. So that's how I did it with all of them. But it won't work with Mr Jide.
Why? Dwayne asked perplexed.
Because he's too smart and I'm sure he cares only for himself.
After they arrived at the Capital, Sky made a quick stop to her mother's house so she could drop the seafood. Her family didn't want her to leave but she promised to be back by evening as she had important things to do at the office. Her mom packed her some food as she rushed to the office.
Sky sat at the meeting area eating, while Abigail briefed she and Chiamanda on what has been going on in the Capital since they left.
So ma'am you just have lots of things to sign today and alot of meetings tomorrow. Mr Jide handled the other things.
Ok thank you Abigail, you can leave. Sky said to Abigail.
After working for a few hours, Sky heard a soft knock on her door and wondered who it could be and why Chiamanda wasn't calling her.
Come in, she said as her phone beeped. Expecting Chiamanda, Bones or Dwayne....she didn't look up until she read the message on her phone and smiled.
Hello my dear, it's good to have you back. Chiamanda wanted to ring you but I told her not to bother you since it's just a brief meeting. I just wanted to welcome you.
Oh thank you so much Mr Jide, Sky said as she walked to the meeting area with Mr Jide.
You've done a great job, Ms Sky. I can't believe our own Mr Dokun would betray us like that...Mr Jide said surprised. I warmed him and the others but he didn't listen, now look at what he's done.
Yes he surprised us all, Sky said looking down. Thank God it's all over. Abigail told me how you've been busy since I left, encouraging investors and other important job.
It's my pleasure dear. We need to stick together in times like this. Mr Jayden will be so proud of you. I brought you a little something, I know the last few days wasn't easy for you. And knowing you drove from the airport, I bought you something.
Oh how considerate of you Mr Dokun, you shouldn't have. I should be the one who gives you something, since I just got back from a trip.
No,no, no My dear. It's nothing, You need rest, I saw the press conference. let me leave you to your work. Make sure you leave early.
Ok Mr Jide, thank you. Sky said as she watched him leave.
Wow she said as the door closed. He looked so innocent, the man really is a good actor. If not for the picture Femi showed her and the recorded conversation she have of Mr Dokun making call to someone else she wouldn't have believed it. It really is him, she knew she recognized the back of one of the picture Femi sent her. It was Mr Jide's back. She sighed as she walked back to her desk.
She picked the bag he had brought and opened it. She called Chiamanda in. Please pack this for me, I need to take it home, I'll give it to my mom's dogs. But switch the plate and trash his plate in your dustbin so it won't be suspicious Incase he decides to check.
Yes ma, Chiamanda said.
Make sure you get your new phone from Bones before you leave. Get me the development team. She said to Chiamanda dismissing her.
After her meeting with the head of the development team and Dwayne, Sky yawned as she looked at her wristwatch. Anton should be back by now, maybe he went straight home. She said to herself. She tried his line but couldn't reach him. As she rest her head to sleep a bit, her phone rang.
Hello Stones, no I haven't gotten a call from anyone. What??? Noooo. Where? I'll be right there.
Confused , Sky grabbed her bag and ran our of the office, she ran back to the office to pick her other phone.
Ma'am are you ok? Chiamanda asked running after her.
We have to go, Anton was in an accident. Sky said running to the elevator, A truck ran into his car. Sky said with years in her eyes.
Chiamanda ran back to her desk to pack her things as she ran after her boss. Oh God please save him.
Mr Jide smiled as he saw the private elevator come down. She must have gotten the news, he said smiling. He took the public elevator and rode it to the CEO's office. He tried to open Sky's door but it was locked. He looked at Chiamanda's desk, something caught his eyes, so he walked over to her trash can and saw the empty plate. He smiled to himself. She doesn't suspects a thing, he said. He pretended to be searching for something on Chiamanda's desk before he went back to the elevator.
