PART 9.
Monday, everyone came to work.
The staffs and the H.O.D admired the great work done by their boss.
Ella was present too.
She was admiring the work.
Oge too was impressed.
She was admiring the part that she and Joe had left before she went home. Joe did a very beautiful design of a child with a woman.
It was amazing.
She had to admit,her boss was damn good in creativity.
Later in the afternoon,Ella came to meet Oge.
She began to ask her questions about Joe.
Oge didn't know what to say about her behavior.
But one thing was for sure,Ella was interested in Joe.
Oge didn't want to jump into conclusion.
She just avoided some of Ella's questions.
Some days later,Oge began to notice some changes in Joe's behavior, including Ella.
One particular day,Oge was heading to a cyber cafe ,to register for an upcoming exam.
She was supposed to do this exam a year ago. But because of money,she had to wait.
Now that she was working and getting money to assist the home,Oge went to register for the exam.
Joe had texted her and asked if she could wait behind.
Oge told him that she couldn't.
She said she wasn't sure if she would come back.
Oge didn't tell Joe about her exam.
Joe didn't bother to stop her.
He allowed her to go.
Oge had gone to the cafe.
She was able to do the registration quick.
She was glad.
She thought of Joe and decided to return back to check on him.
At least,the cafe wasn't that far from the company.
Oge came rushing to the company.
But she was left stunned by what she saw.
Joe was driving out of the company,with Ella inside.
Oge was stunned.
Joe saw Oge and stopped the car next to her.
Oge was speechless.
"Hey princess!
I thought you weren't coming back?",he asked.
Oge smiled and said,"I came to get something that's all".
Oge lied.
Joe knew she was lying,but he pretended not to know.
Ella was acting like the Queen of the world.
She smiled at Oge and waved bye.
Joe said he was taking Ella's route that's why he carried her along.
That he would have taken Oge too.
Oge smiled and said she was fine.
She watched Joe as he drove off with Ella.
Oge didn't know what to do or say.
She looked for a bike and got on it.
On the bike till she got home,Oge was telling herself that everything was fine.
"Why I'm I feeling sad.
I should be happy.
I knew something was fishy about Ella.
I wasn't sure.
So Joe and Ella are having a secret affair.
Hmmm",she said while poundering up and down in her room.
Oge couldn't help it.
She was jealous.
The thought of Joe and Ella ate her up from inside.
She immediately bursted into tears and fell on her knees.
She was crying sorrowfully.
She couldn't help it.
Oge soon got herself.
She reminded herself that Joe never belonged to her in the first place.
That boosted her immediately.
"Why I'm I crying anyway.
He's married.
I shouldn't be crying for someone who isn't mine.
Besides,he did admit to me that he was a player.
I don't care about what he does anymore".
Oge decided to put Joe aside.
No matter how hurt she was.
Some days later at work,Oge was on her own.
She didn't relate with Joe like before,but focused on her work.
Joe noticed this.
He didn't like it.
He once approached her,when she was petting a little girl to sleep.
He said,"I can see that you're avoiding me princess".
Oge looked at him as if everything was normal.
She smiled and said Yes.
Joe was surprised.
She went ahead and said that she was pleased about it and didn't care.
Joe thought she was joking.
But she wasn't.
He noticed the way she avoided his calls and messages.
It angered Joe.
Oge was now avoiding him.
