Who's The Boss- Episode Two

Hey guys here is the second episode of our series ''Who's The Boss'' if you missed the first episode you can catch up by clicking Here.....

Now lets get down to business...

Judith sat with her mouth agape, she blinked rapidly trying to be sure

she was still standing before him, she knew he was waiting for an

answer, this would not have been a problem if only she knew what he

meant by "Friends". He seem like a responsible guy but she would not

dare think about him besides being her boss. Her brows were furrowed

in confusion as she stared blankly into his face.

"Judith is every thing alright?"

she readjusted in her seat, 'father deliver me from evil' she prayed.

Why should he call her by her first name, what happened to his

insisting that every one be addressed formally in the office because

he thinks that will make people work best but its ridiculous having

your close friends and pals call you Miss Ade as if you are an old

maid.

She determined it was really time to go. She wanted to believe her

boss was joking. "Emm...sir if there  is nothing else to be discussed,

i beg to take my leave..." she stood up with all the courage left in

her and attempted to move.

"Don't you consider it gross disrespect for you to ignore my

questions? Is this how you treat our clients? I bet not,I asked you

simple questions and you were staring at me as if I had grown horns,

do you hate me that much? No tell me, am I that despicable? Oh

of course you would not like to be my friend, i heard you are one of

those church girls...Judith went stiff with shock, she loved her job

dearly but alot is threatening her faith."Father I need your wisdom."

she prayed in her mind.

"Sir?!" she managed to say and he gave a half hearted smile.

"You are shocked I know that part of you right, well I guess it's no

more news in this office. See I have had dealings with acclaimed

Christians and I swore to be smarter next time. I am not a devil okay,

i go to church on Sundays to please my mum but i really don't care. I

appreciate your attitude so far, just ensure you keep your faith

aside, I don't need that right now."

Judith had never been this confused before. She tried to process all

that he had said but her brain was too scrambled for that task. She

saw the anger with which he spoke, she wish she had the chance to

correct his notions about Christians but she would not want to betray

herself or get involved in this mess. "Lord reveal yourself to him."

she prayed earnestly in her heart.

Micheal saw her confusion, he expected her to get angry and try to

defend herself or the gospel but this meditative look on her face got

him thinking she is one of the real ones. "Lets be friends". Was the

line he had used on a couple of loose ladies who think they can sleep

their way to the top. At least there are still decent ladies in this

town. He looked at her again and he caught himself thinking about her

in wrong territories. He shook his head as if the thought would fly

away. Well it must be his mind playing tricks on him. He ran his hand

through his afro, why does he feel on edge when she is around yet a

part of him seem to enjoy having her around though he knew it was pure

torture to her.

He crossed the desk and leaned back on the desk facing her, he noticed

she was fidgeting and he was not happy she was this nervous around

him, he placed a hand and her shoulder trying to calm her down but he

got to know that was a wrong move.

"I am sorry sir, I think I must leave now, you have kept me here

longer than usual, i think i can stand the insults but sir i would not

appreciate it if this continues, I  respect you as my boss so please I

demand that the respect be reciprocated. I do not hate you, neither do

I find you despicable but sir it would do you a lot of good if you

check your attitude." she had gone past caring about the job, she

would not stand there and watch him disrespect her like that, she is

not a kid and even if he seniors her,maybe that will be with three

years or so. It is the clap of the hands that leads to dancing, it is

one thing that leads to another. If he decides to fire her for

standing on her self dignity,   fine and good.

"Sir, I think I have had enough. I watch you boss people around as if

you own the universe. I appreciate your zeal for the work but I do not

mix work with this kind of pleasure and..."

"Enough! Do you realize that I could get you fired?" he said angrily,

no woman had dared him this much, as angry as he was, the foolish part

of his brain admired her bravery.

"Yes I do but I thank God I can say this before I send in my

resignation letter. Mr Micheal Jacobs Jnr, to experience the success

you desire, you must change your strategy, you are too stiff. I

believe a working structure is the permanent structure. Think about

it." She walked to the door with an air of confidence.

Micheal was still in shock but it took him no time to see what the

company will lose if she decides to resign and dad will not approve of

 it so he swallowed his Ego to say this to her "Miss Ade, you may not

believe this but I need you, the company needs  you, he quickly added,

because there is trouble."

She turned briskly."What!"

To be continued....
