After a nice family breakfast, Samuel decided to go resign from his old job and get his stuff.
He goes into his room and wears an outfit fit for going out. He decides to go straight to the bar after finishing stuff at his work. Although he might not have the job he decides to use the money to start a buisness of his own. He was tired of working that shitty job.
He went out of his house walked down the street and boarded a taxi going to his workplace to resign.
..
After a twenty minutes drive he arrived at where he works or where he is about to call his former work places, fusion bank.
He greets the security detail at the gate.
"Good morning, kola"
"God morning bro Sam. You didn't come early today, I hope all is well?" Kola the security asked.
"Yeah all is well. " Samuel decides not to disclose too much till his resignation has being approved.
"Okay " kola just nodds as he goes on with his patrol.
Samuel keeps walking till he enters the building. There in front of him is the reception. Although this is a bank it's not open to the public as it's an administrative bank. It governs other banks and is only open to workers.
This means it's mostly empty.
"Good morning Samuel. You are late today, it's not like you to be late." The female receptionist greets Samuel with a smile though she is puzzled about why he came late. She is 5'6, she braids her hair and wears glasses. She has a petite figure with small proportions. She's what you call you 'portable'.
" Good morning Clara, I have some stuff I need to take care of but in short I'm resigning." Samuel says greeting her.
" Wow, you got a new job, that's wonderful." Clara says happy for him.
" Thanks, is the boss in?" Samuel asks
"Yes he is in, but he is in a meeting with some officials so I suggest waiting a while before going in to see him." She says
"Okay thanks"
He the leaves the reception to his office. Inside his office there are two computers. One for him and one for another employee kunle.
"What's up bro? I have been doing all your work since morning, where have you been?" Kunle asks obviously overwhelmed bye the work load.
'serves you right for all those times I had to cover for you.'
" Sorry bro I should have called. " Samuel 'apologizes'.
"whatever just come take your work, my knuckles hurt bad." Kunle says he as places some notes on his former desk.
Samuel was so happy about what he was about to say " about that..., I'm resigning today. I wanted to make it tomorrow but decided to just get through with it today." Samuel broke the news
"What! Why so sudden? I'm sure nothing happened at the company so it means you have a new job?" Kunle asked puzzled
" Something like that but I might start my own business depending on what happens." Samuel says still enjoying kunles panic. Till they can find another analyst he would have to work his ass off.
Kunle didn't reply, he was just in a daze as if he was thinking about all the work to come for the next couple of days of weeks.
He sat down and face palmed not bothered with Samuel who was also in the room.
Just then Clara came into the room
"The officials just left, the boss is now free." She said while facing Samuel.
"Thanks Clara I'll go see him."Samuel thanked her as he proceed to the bosses office.
..
*Knock* *knock*
"Come in." The voice of a middle aged woman came from the other side of the door.
Samuel opens the door to a medium sized office. With three office chairs around an office table and a small couch by the side.
The woman sitting in the office,the boss was busy with files, she didn't even look up to see who entered her office.
" Good morning miss olaide" Samuel greeted her still standing.
" Oh Samuel, you were late that isn't like you I hope it won't repeat it self again." She said still looking at the documents
"I want to resign ma'am " Samuel said. She finally looked up to look at him. She was surprised as a resignation isn't something that happens often.
She decides not to pry.
"We have to follow protocol so you have to submit a resignation letter giving us a two weeks notice while still working or pay a fine of twenty thousand naira." She says as her eyes focused on him
"I'll pay the twenty thousand" he says without hesitation.
She then nods to her self in understanding
'lucky bastard hit it big while I'm still in this shit hole'
"Okay. You can go to the accountant to pay along with your resignation letter. For what it's worth congratulations and good bye, it's been nice working with you." She says with a small smile.
" Okay
He then pays theoney to the accountant and heads to the bar for some drinks.
I'm the taxi he takes about his phone to message Ade
Samuel : I'm on my way
Ade : okay just about to leave my house.
Samuel : okay.
He places his phone in his pocket and enjoys the ride.
Ade's pov
"Babe I'm off" Ade tells ire by shouting. She comes out already dressed puzzling him.
" Are you going out, you didn't tell me." Ade asks puzzled
" I forgot to tell you Samuel invited me to join you guys. Apparently he wants us to celebrate together and for a certain someone to take their shot at conquering me." She looks blamingly at Ade.
" I understand your point, I'll tell him after we have had our drinks, before you say anything I won't want to ruin his mood before we celebrate." Ade says defending him self
" That's understandable. " She says agreeing with him
"Let's go or we'll be late" Ade urged
"We'll meet there he doesn't know." She says
"Okay babe, love you." Ade kisses her before rushing down stairs and getting into his car.
Ire locks the door and also heads for the bar but at a slower pace.
