Her phone started ringing when she was about apologizing to Michael for being so grumpy. She quickly clicked on the answer button before it cuts when she saw the callers I.d.
Hello girlfriend, please tell me that the job has not been taken, she said in one go.
Hey, calm down babes, who is chasing you. Take a deep breath, she advised
Ummm, there is no need for that; just say it already so I will know where I stand at the moment please
Okay, I have spoken to him but the thing is that,
Louisa shoulder slumped as she heard "but" without getting the final feedback; it was as though she has lost interest in whatever she had to say.
Girlfriend are you still there. Anita asked when she felt as though no one is answering
Yeah I am; Louisa answered reluctantly
Okay, I was saying that I met him today; he said he now has a secretary.
Louisa felt like crying already, she sniffed, you know what, thanks. I already knew that was going to be the case.
Wow! Come down from your high horses, would you? Why do you always come to conclusion even without hearing everything from the horse's mouth?
What is there to say again, when the position had already been taken?
That is what I am trying to explain, nobody asked you to jump into any conclusion about anything. As I was saying before you interrupted me. The secretary vacancy is no longer available but he said you could be his personal assistant.
What? Did I just hear well, suddenly she had the urge to give her full attention to Anita.
Oh! Finally, I got your attention, that is what he said dear, that is even a more better position than been his secretary and it requires more pay.
She had smiles all over her face, I am so happy baby, thank you so much for everything, I was really waiting for your response and was almost going berserk from the wait.
It is all right, you just have to arrange the required documents you will need and lest I forget, we will be leaving for the company by 6:30am, your boss to be loves keeping to time dear.
Okay sure, thank you so much, I will not disappoint you.
I trust your capabilities, I want to you dress well okay, it is a very big conglomerate so you have to be at your best my love.
Okay I will try. I love you; let me share the good news with my family
I love you right back Louisa. All right, I will be hanging up now bye for now and the call ended.
She turned to Michael and saw smiles etched on his face which he quickly masked as soon as their gaze met, she knew she was so grumpy to him and he was just watching out for her but it's just that she was not in her right frame of mind at that moment.
Michy she called out for him, Michael. She called again when he did not answer her.
What is it? I was just about leaving you because that is what you said.
I am so sorry, please forgive this sister of yours she will not do it again, I promise, she said with both hand on her ears and pouted her lips.
In as much as he was angry with her a moment ago, he cannot just stay angry with her and so he caved in.
Look sis, is not as if I do not understand what you are going through, I can swear that I have an idea of everything and the burden you are carrying as the first child even if we are not putting any pressure on you. As I said earlier, I will always be in your corner sis. God knows that I always count myself lucky for having an intelligent, ever stunning and caring sister and most importantly, I love you so much. I might not show it a lot but I really do.
Thanks my baby boo, she said smiling sheepishly. All of a sudden, nervousness replaced her smiles and Michael noticed it.
Sis, he called out. What happened? I thought we were in a jolly mood.
Yeah we are, I do not mean to be a kill Joy but what if he changes his mind or say that he cannot make me his personal assistant.
Hey sis, who on this green earth will see such beauty and refuse, the person must be either stupid or foolish to do so.
Michael always have a way to ease her fears and that he has done now and she was feeling more lighter after discussing her fears with him.
Ummmmmm, she heaved a sigh of relief, I think I should go get myself a new outfit so I can look presentable, what do you think?
Not a bad idea. To me you slay in every outfit.
She smiled and thanked him. You are becoming a sugar coated mouthed guy Michael, I hope we won't be having to take care of a mother and a baby soon.
Michael threw a deadly glare at his sister and responded sarcastically. Since you will not be bringing any man home soon I would not mind to replace you.
The nerve, young man leave my room.
You wish; keep considering what I said though.
Men had always been the least of Louisa's worries, not that they do not catch her fancy but she just don't like giving them the required attention. The little time she tried dating a guy, the relationship lasted for 6 months only because the guy was always asking for sex which Louisa never wanted to cave in which led to her breakup with him and since then Louisa had kept the male gender at bay.
