Pulling up to the valet parking. The valet helps me out of the car I look into is brown eyes gazing with the most charming and elegant smile I say Much Obliged. With my Red bottom heels I did a curtsey then took Bobby by the arm as he escorted me to entrance of the building. Ready, he asked? I was born I replied.
Remember what I said Karen. I will Bobby.
I was not prepared for the magnitude of how astonishing breathtaking and luxurious the foyer is. Marble tile floors. An exquisite interior, with excessive amounts of decor and Works of Art; alone worth Millions. The Chandler is a work of art it's self. When we approce the meeting room it was even more breathtaking than the foyer.
With an ambience of prestige, and arrogance. Scaning the room seeing all of the gregarious people filling the halls with laughter and chatter.
Me, being the very intuitive person I am, I pick up immediately who's who. Picking up on some of the chicanery between the different groups in this room. Oh, Haha! People are so easy to read! Everyone in here is so readable! They are going love me probably going to think I can read their minds. I thought to myself.
Interupting my thoughts Bobby asks,
Are you ok?
Oh, yeah yeah I'm great Bobby!
Nervous? He asked.
Never! Are you?
Oh no, I've been to these types of gatherings plenty of times. He said.
Ok then My Fiancee ready when you are hun.
Ok let's get this party started he said as he leads me to the center of the room to introduce ourselves to the investor we have our eyes on. Hello Mr. Abeo. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
The pleasure is all mine. Mr. Abeo said. You know my name, so I'm going to assume your Bobby, right. Yes sir indeed I am. Are you enjoying yourself so far Mr.Abeo? As much as I can knowing how an investor's gala can be. he said with a chuckle.
Thinking to myself. He must mean not much enjoyment judging by his eyes even though he laughs with a smile. I really have good discernment. Moriwu (exciting)I said aloud. Just to see if he responds to me in the same language. He looks at me with astonishing eyes. He replies, Nibo ni o ti wa(Where are you from)? Replying back I say Valdez, Georgia. Nibo ni o ti wa(Where are you from)? Lagos, Nigeria. He said. Then he asked. Nibo ni o ti kọ yoruba?(Where did you learn yoruba?)
Baba mi agba. (my grandfather) I said.
Now Bobby is just looking back and forth between me and Mr. Abeo. Trying to figure out what is going on. O ti ni iyawo si i?(Are you married to him?) Abeo asked.
Oun ni Fiancee mi.(He is my Fiancee.)I replied.
Oh oh okay, good. He said. I proceed with business. "Bobby ni ile-iṣẹ taya kan ati...."(Bobby has a tire company and...) All of a sudden a red head lady with an ember color Dolce and Gabbana made Sparking Evening Gown interrupts our conversation. Mr. Abba Its good to see you. She gives him a hug step in front of me forcing to step back so I won't get knocked. I love you Elegant Evening Attire. The patterns of your tuxedo they are so beautiful, so tribal, Your a Fashion Nova among men. She praised. My Discerning sense kicking in. I saw unsincereness towards Mr. Abeo. I also saw vindictiveness in her eyes I just have to figure out towards who. She's definitely trying to make a statement that she the head honcho around here. She's trying to sabotage what deal I'm trying to make. I can tell. Mr. Abeo looks slightly annoyed so I said "Nigbati Asin rerin lori o nran, iho naa wa nitosi." (When the mouse laughed on the cat, the hole was nearby.) "Sinmi, Sinmi....."(Relax, Relax...)hearing what I said Mr. Abeo relaxing his posture and smiles. Thank you soo much Mrs. Deloft. Your simply dazzling yourself. I'm Mr. Abeo. He said in a way that's implying he's correcting her on how to say his name. I already know. Mrs.Deloft says. I already know who you are your one of the top Investors. You have the biggest share in the Nigerian Stock exchange. Your the MTM Group finance chief and director. Deloft turns slightly to the left. Spotting me she then looks me directly in the eyes and says. Oh sorry I didn't see you there! She say with a sneer smile. Oh I love your dress my Niece loves shopping at Macy's as well. Did you get your dress from there as well? No, no, this dress was hand made and tailored by an local designer. I said. With fakeness she say, "Hmmm, oh how nice. I love your purse as well it almost look like the real thing. Mines is though." Deloft smirked. Male voice interrupted my fury. "Sinmi (Relax)"Mr.Abeo said.
I didn't say anything I just smiled and nodded. Hey Bobby I'm surprised to see you. Are you ok? Hows things been. I know you've been homeless the last time I talked to you she said. If you need anything, any help I can help.
I am wonderful. I dont need any help from you since your the one who undermined me and took all of my wealth away. Oh Autumn I see you haven't changed a bit. You still rendezvous with most of the investors in this room right? Reminds of old times before I knew who you really were.
Mrs.Deloft laughs. Oh Bobby Honey I dont need sex to win business deals I'm just that good. I see you still have a thorn in your side. No hard feelings. I've moved on from us and so should you. I'm happily remarried remember with a company worth Millions of dollars.
Oh Autumn I don't miss you at all. You leaving my life was an answer from God above. Such a vindictive woman you are. Actually I moved on to a better woman. My beautiful , gorgeous, talented, wise Fiancee. Bobby grabs my waist and kisses me on the cheek. Okay what ever you say. Deloft rolls her eyes and says
Good for you Bobby.
Quickly she turns around. Mr. Abeo come with me I have more to discuss with you about our company. Excuse me but Bobby and I already have Mr.Abeo occupied. Come back to chat with him later once were finnished ok hun. I say with attitude. Mrs.Deloft then says oh how sweet but I have real important business to discuss with him. Not your trivial things of a company on the verge off Extinction, obsolete. Come with me Mr. Abeo.
Actually in my country Respect is everything no matter the social class. I was talking to Mr. and Mrs. Carington. I will discuss with you may be later if there's still time left in this event. Thank you so very much, I'm sure your understanding to a certain degree Mrs.Deloft. Mrs.Deloft looks upset her face twisted with despise. She swiftly turnes around walks away.
