Its a busy Monday morning at the firm, people are moving in and out, clients, lawyers, everyone trying to hit the jackpot as he made his way to his cubicle, with his old looking briefcase hung over his left shoulder. He placed the box of files, personal items and stationary on his table, he tries arranging them when he feels a loud pat on his back
"Hi roomy"
He turns to see a young beautiful dark skinned girl looking at him, her beauty and well defined curves with prominent facial features made him quiver, he wasn't used to the attention from the opposite sex
"Sorry, you really scared me"
He fumbled for the files in the box and continued arranging his desk, she walks over and sits across the table
"Are you shy?" she starred at him with her chin resting on her palm
"No!...No I'm not, I didn't expect a girl like you to be sharing the desk with me" he said with his head is still bent, avoiding her stare
"Aww, you think I'm cute"
"No!" she raises her brows
"Yes, of course you are cute, very...cu..te" he stuttered, he looked up to see her smiling
"What?" He said confused
"I would have loved to be your roomy, but I'm not, trust me you don't want to know who stays here" she stands up immediately and walks up to him
"I'm Miss Mandy Lawson, senior associate, come with me, and you are?"
"Mr Obieze Mike, excuse me ma, your last name, Lawson, as in this firm, Lawson and Associates?"
"Yup, I'm also the boss' daughter" they both walk to her office.
Present Day
Mandy is standing next to the window in her office, admiring the peaceful scenery, deep in her thoughts, Mike enters the office
"Any word yet?" He said sitting down
"No" she leaves the window and sits "I wonder when it happened, when all this went wrong, what did he really get himself into?"
Tamuno is in her office, Dr Femi is passing by, he sees her door ajar, comes back and stands by the door
"Wow, we barely see each other these days, are you cheating on me?" he said with a smirk on his face
"In your dreams Saint Joseph" she said
"Hmm, so you are still playing hard to get?"
"No, I'm still playing, I'm out of your league"
He comes in and sits down
"So how awkward is it that when we were about going on strike due to three months work with no salary, today, everyone got an alert with extra bonus" he said
"You know, I thought about the same thing, I really don't understand what is going on, its like we are all walking on egg shells"
"Its better we don't pry, you know what happened the last time"
"Yes I know, how can I forget, its registered in my cerebrum, you know things used to be better when we stopped being interns and became doctors".
Six Years Ago
Mandy is briefing Mike in her office, she looks up to see Tamuno waving excitedly outside her door
"Well I guess orientation is over, we will see next time"
Mike gets up and leaves, Tamuno comes in and hugs Mandy in excitement
"I made it! I'm officially a practicing neurosurgeon" she screamed out loud
"Wow, I'm so proud of you, I must say green suits you better than blue, we should celebrate my treat" she grabs her bag from the desk
"Have you told Ego and Simi?"
"Yes I did, Ego went for her interview"
"Well call them again, they should meet us at the restaurant"
As they walk out of her office, Mandy sees her dad talking to an unknown man in front of his office, his face is filled with rage
"What is that? Looks like trouble" Tamuno said
"Probably nothing, its crazy here, maybe he lost a case or client"
