I heard a knock on my door. I opened my eyes slowly; I didn't even know when I fell asleep. Omg! It's already 7pm, my head aches so badly and I am hungry. I need to eat something and take some pain killer.
"Knock! Knock!"
I heard the knock again.
"Hmm" who's there?
"Ms Amalia its Paula, your parents is waiting for you at the dining room. Dinner is served."
Oh! Okay. You can go, tell them I will join them shortly. Thanks.
I got out of bed and went to bathroom to freshen up. I changed into a short sweat pants and an oversized shirt, my hair was packed up. I rushed downstairs to meet my family I know I've kept them waiting.
Hello everyone. Sorry for keeping you all waiting, I was. But I was interrupted by my dad.
"Her majesty has decided to join her lads" my dad says.
"The queen has finally arrived, so can we eat now?" Zayn added.
"Alan! Zayn! Will the both of you quit taunting her? She's here so let's eat peaceful before it gets cold please" my mum defended me as always.
I sat down quietly on my sit, I've got so much going on in my mind I don't want to argue with my dad or fight with my brother that's the least of my worries at the moment. Dinner was Italian my favourite. I dished mine and ate quietly I could see my parents looking at me stylishly. Something is definitely going on in their minds.
"Hmm" do you want to say something to me? I noticed you've been staring at me since I got here. Well I know what you're going to say. I'll save you the stress.
About the interview I've decided not to take the job. I will look somewhere else.
"I knew you would come back to your senses, after all you are an Ayiga, and we put family first before any other thing. You can resume work tomorrow your office is ready. You can change the design if you don't like it I have everything organised for you with the help of your brother. And if you don't want to work here I will make arrangements for you to move to Nigeria, India or Canada. Just say the word".
"Hmm"
"Amalia dad is right. What harm will it cause you to drop aside your ego and pride and say you will work with us? You are making it look like we're all forcing you, and trying to convince you makes it look like you're very important. You know what I mean, it feels like you are some sort of important asset that we can't do without in the company but it's actually the opposite dad is trying to make your life a lot more easier. That's if you understand what I am trying to say. Give it a good thought you are family so you'll always have a place at AYIGA'S LEGACY."
"Really! Zany!"
I can't believe you are saying this to me. You know what I don't blame you; I blame myself for seating here and listening to all the rubbish from your mouth. Working at AYIGA'S LEGACY is a choice and I don't want to work in the field dad wants me to, why is it so hard for you people to comprehend?
I'm done trying to make you people see things from my own point of view, do whatever you want. Stating this I stood up and headed upstairs, I can hear my mum calling out to me but I am too angry to stop and listen to what she has to say. The only thing on my mind was to go and design some characters at least this lightens up my mood whenever I'm sad.
I looked for my laptop and sketch book but I couldn't find them. Could they be in the car?
Damn! I can't think straight, I need my laptop or at least my sketch book I need to clear my mind a lot has happened today. I went down to the parking lot where my car was parked. I obviously don't need a key to open my car its Lexus 2019 model.
I checked everywhere in the car but my laptop and sketch book is nowhere to be seen. Oh! No I think I might have left it at JRM groups. I need to get them back like ASAP, but how am I going to do that?
"Break into the building like a thief nobody will see you"
"You can get it in the morning, what's the rush? Breaking in is very risky"
Enough! I say. I know what to do I don't need neither of your advice, I smiled a little can't believe I'm talking to myself. I followed the other part of my heart and decided to break into the building to get my property it's not like am going there to steal what does not belong to me. I got into my car and drove straight to hell.
