The moment I met you (Chapter 118)

By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

 ‘Chioma Chima’s mother sells fruits in the market.’                    

‘Really? Which market?’ Michael finally grew interested.                                                                                                             

‘But, you might not want to buy fruits from her.’                                 

‘What nonsense are you spouting? I think she sells the best fruits.’                                                                                                      

‘Sir Michael…?’ Robert wanted to say something else, but he saw that Michael had lowered his head to play on his phone.                                                                                                              

This girl, Chioma Chima, had received the blessing of a good fortune, Robert thought, as he planned to leave the office.                                                                                                                   

‘We’re going to Chioma Chima,’ Michael said, and Robert froze. ‘She’s at Star Restaurant. We are going there.’                            

‘But…’                                                                                                         

‘No buts… we’re going or you’re fired.’ Michael slowly stood up.                                                                                                            

‘Now?’ Robert was still shocked.                                                            

                   

Michael glared at him. Then, he turned his heels and left. Robert followed him behind without saying a word. After Michael left the office, he immediately got into his black Maybach. Then, he drove away without looking back. However, Robert stood where he was at the parking lot, dumbfounded.                                                                                                    

Could it be that Michael had fired him? He was a bit too late?
