Chioma stood there, watching as he left. Chisom quickly walked towards her, looking her from head to toe.
‘He’s the guy? The man you fell in love with the moment you met him?’
Chioma glanced at her and nodded.
‘I’m blessed to be your friend,’ Chisom said as they walked inside. ‘He’s known to be aloof and haughty. I’m surprised you got his pampering. Who would have thought that an emperor like Michael would pursue a lowly woman like you?’ she was indeed pleased with Chioma. Instead of giving her the water, she drank it.
Chioma smiled and didn’t utter any word.
By evening after work, Chioma walked out after changing into her simple blue dress, and saw Segun’s taxi parked by the side of the road. She was hugging the exquisite-looking boxes gifted to her by Audrey to her chest as she went to the car.
Segun sat behind the steering wheel, Andrew sat in the passenger seat while Daniel sat at the back, eating strawberry.
‘Chioma…’Segun gestured at Chioma to come over.
Chioma walked towards the car with Chisom following behind. With the help of Chisom, Chioma put the boxes in the boot, then, they both sat at the back with Daniel. Then, happily they greeted the men.
The moment the car began racing on the road, Daniel handed Chioma and Chisom a bottle of Nutri milk, each.
Chioma unscrewed the cap, and took a mouthful. ‘Daniel, I’m happy to see you. At least, we’re going to rip you off today.’
