‘Did you see her?’
Robert stood in his tracks for a moment before saying, ‘I did.’
‘Isn’t she beautiful?’
Beautiful my foot! I wonder what you saw in that girl. Robert said in his head, then turned around with a forced smile. ‘She’s beautiful.’
‘She is my new project,’ Michael said with a smile.
‘Sir, I should head to the finance department now.’ Then, Robert turned around and headed straight to the door.
Michael looked at the thick piles of document that lay on his desk. It was the document containing information about Chioma Chima. Robert had gathered the information. With a smile pinned on his face, Michael removed the seal and carefully took out the document.
Robert had worked as a journalist in one of the daily newspapers here in Abuja before becoming the assistant of Michael. Therefore, finding any information was truly a simple task. He conducted a thorough investigation within two days and brought everything over to Michael’s office.
Michael flipped through the thick stack of document containing pictures and texts- Everything about Chioma Chima was listed out explicitly in the document. The more he read about this girl from a lowly home, the happier Michael became.
It seemed like all the photos were taken while in the university. She had attended University of Abuja, served her one year National Youth Service Corps at Enugu State. Chioma’s delicate features, beautiful side profile, were indeed unique. His lips formed a gentle smile.
