CAMARADERIE TROUBLES

CHAPTER 11

Selina bowed her head on the office desk between her and her boss, she was remorseful. Mr Goju the

CEO of Diamond Communications had called her in.

"Your productivity at work has waned. What is wrong?" Mr Goju asked. He slightly released his tie and

pulled off his blazers for some fresh air. The office was quite stuffy.

Selena was speechless, worry was written all over her.

"I've always known you to be one of our best workers in this company. Your work these days has been

so incompetent. The data you computated wasn't accurate. Also, the correspondence I told you to write

to our insurance brokers wasn't well composed. It wasn't even official. Do you know how much millions

we are talking about here Mrs Selena?"

A corporately dressed lady entered the office.

"Good morning sir"

"Good morning receptionist, how may I help you?" He asked sharply, adjusting his specs.

The electrical power was restored, he rose from his seat to switch on the air conditioner.

"A man from Alimi and Sons requested to see you. He's downstairs at the reception."

"I would join in a jiffy, wanna sort some things out."

"Okay sir," she replied and bolted the door behind her.

"You haven't answered my question Selina." He said with a grin, expectant of an answer.

" My marriage is aching" she muttered remorsefully.

" Can you tell me about it?"

"It was all my fault" she bursted in tears.

"Easy easy, take it easy." He consoled her.

"I opened my eyes and watched my marriage crumble," She added.

"Can you be more explicit?" Mr Goju asked. She wiped her tears with the elm of her denim jacket.

"It all started happy happy," she began.

"He pays attention to me no longer. I believe he has started having an extra-marital affair, and if I can

catch that 'BIMBO' girl!!" She cried.

"I'm confused" Mr Goju said, his face confirmed it.

"I saw it on his cell phone. Yes 'BIMBO WIFEY', he saved the contact with a love emoji. No wonder he

doesn't care about me any longer. I regret my actions, he was a good man." Tears shimmered in her

eyes.

"Sincerely, if I say I understand jack from what you said, I'd be lying. Let me try to get this, do you mean

your husband is cheating on you?"

"Yes, I even saw two passport cards in his briefcase sometimes last week. I thought he was probably

planning a surprise trip with me, lo and behold, I saw another lady's details and photograph attached to

the passport. I guess he's planning to elope with her, I was heartbroken. I wanted to rip off the

passports that moment, but I decided to be led by wisdom" she lamented.

"That would have been a big mistake on your part. Thank God you were wise. This is what many young

couples are ignorant of, you can never correct a wrong with wrong. You can never quench fire with fuel.

No!!

Many marriages have broken up because of 'little foxes that spoiled the vine', very little and

insignificant reasons! My aunt's fiance broke up with her because he saw her hugging a man who

happened to be her cousin. He concluded that she was flirting with him and even called her a slot! One

thing led to another during the intensed argument and the guy slapped her, he assulted her and

traumatized her all because of a misunderstanding. Now, my question is; do you know who this

supposed lady is?" He folded his arms and frankly stared at her.

Selina heaved heavily. "I don't actually. I think I would make findings about that."

"Please do.." He stacked up some files, arranging them.

"And put your marriage together, marriage first then comes work. I will give you a two-week break from

work. You are not in the proper mindframe for all these. You'd keep typing rubbish and working

inaccurately if you don't put yourself together, and this could be costly. I believe you would come out

stronger" He stretched his hand for a handshake.

"Thank you so much sir, my gratitude for your concern is infinite."

"Oh dear, it's fine. Give this ledger to the secretary. You can also give the mail correspondence to him,

let him do the work. I would arrange for a replacement pending the time you would be off. Please put

yourself together Mrs Selena. Lastly, don't for any reason raise your voice at your husband. I believe all

would be well."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
