Man “Alone"

Chapter 3

Meanwhile on the top floor of the Tokunbo corporation a Charming ,young handsome dark skinned man sat on the chair Reserved for the CEO and was scanning through a report that was just brought up to him by the man that had just finished interviewing Funke

He skimmed through the pages as he Red all that was available about her.

' Only child, no father, top of her class from Lagos business school and with honors .That speaks volumes' Thought the young man.

"Dele good work with the interviews I'm sure you were very thorough" Said the young man.

" Yes sir" Said Dele

"Well keep up the good work" said the young man.

"Mr Tokunbo Where would you be going this evening

"Nowhere important just home"

"Okay good evening sir have a lovely" night

"Yes, I will thank you"

"That should be all I'm going now"

"Good bye sir have a lovely weekend " said the receptionist as she sent several seductive glances his way but as his face was calm and cold so was his attitude towards her actions as he didn't even spare her a glance as he made his way towards the parking lot to where he had parked his car as he entered into it and drove off.

" I hope the work load won't be much for the new manager" said Ade as he drove off into the distances he headed into the usual bussing roads of Lagos.

TAP! TAP!

Came knocks from his car window as he turned to it to lower the window.

" sir please could you please spare me something to buy something to eat I would appreciate anythi__"said a young girl who was covered in dirt from head to toe before a large stack of money was thrown at her which caught her off guard.

" Take it and use it to find something to eat and drink and get a bath so that you won't get sick " said Ade as he handed her some money after which he drove off due to traffic resuming movement.

" THANK YOU SIR!!! " said the girl as she shouted her thanks after recovering from her earlier shock.

Seeing this scene from his rear view mirror Ade couldn't help but smile to his face as he saw her jumping up while shouting her thanks as he drove off.

Arriving at his Mansion and stepping out of his car Ade was greeted by his butler who collected his bag and suit from him, while the driver went to park the car.

”welcome home sir I trust you had a good day" said the butler

” Good evening to you too Rodgers and yes today was nice" replied Ade

" well if you think today was nice tonight's dinner is going to make it even better" came an eloquent and sophisticated voice .

" kemi it's nice knowing you cook for me because you always treat me well"said Ade as he looked lovingly at the cook.

" Enough sweet talking go and get freshened up I have a no dirty people policy on my table, go, go, go, go! " said kemi as she chased Ade to go and have his bathe.

" I'm a billionaire you know I am not supposed to be going through this kind of treatment" said Ade as he was sent upstairs to get freshened up.

"The master is a good person the only problem is that he doesn't allow much people access to his life and I have told him so many times to at least go out on a few dates give socialisation a shot he's rich,handsome, hardworking I mean what kind of nutcase of a woman won't accept him if he ever proposed or asked if they could date ,who? like i mean who wouldn't say yes" lamented the cook.

”I have asked and advised him to socialise for just once " said the butler

" okay Rodgers,kemi please stop talking about my personal life like it's a book to discuss about" said Ade as he walked into the dining room where they were.

" Then get a girlfriend or a wife if that is too much to ask for Billionaire" said kemi as she dished out his food.

"plantain porridge now this is living" said Ade as he took a spoonful of the porridge which seemed to taste as if it was made by a divine being

"Aunty kemi are you sure you are not an Angel because your cooking tastes so divine" said Ade as he continued to devourer the food

" stop trying to change the topic with your sweet talking because it isn't going to work" said kemi as she looked at Ade with a serious and stern axpression which made her look like the boss.

' sometimes I feel like I'm the worker and she is the boss ' thought Ade as he continued to devourer the food.

" Hey what are you thinking about" asked kemi as she noticed him blanking out for awhile.

" Nothing just that I have a date tomorrow" said Ade

' That should get them off my back for a while' thought Ade as he continued eating.

Not understanding what his words had done he continued eating but his earlier words were like a nuclear bomb exploding in both Rodgers and kemi's mind.

" kemi I told you the master wasn't impotent "

PUHH!!

"yeah me too I knew it was well"

" wait, wait ,wait, wait ,wait ,wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait WAIT!!"

" WHAT in God's name do you two say about me when I'm not around exactly what do you say about me " asked Ade.

" Nothing much just the usual discussion on how best to make your life more comfortable at home" replied Rodgers

" And that happens to include my status down there which is A okay just for your information* Said Ade

" what is her name "

"Funke that's her name and I'm sure you are wondering why I just told you , I'm telling you because I don't want any trouble " said Ade as he stood up from his seat at the dinning table which seemed to be able to easily accommodate about fifty people easy.

" Hello Dele yes sorry to call you so late but could you give me the contact info for the new manager,yeah thanks" said Ade over the phone .

THUD!

while throwing himself on the bed Ade began to rub his head with both hands specifically the temples.

' why did I have to blurt out her name it was the first one on my mind bot damn did I just really f**k up'

DING!

Reaching out for his phone after hearing the notification.

' He really is diligent with his job' thought Ade as he checked to see a phone number and other means to contact Funke.

"well here goes nothing"

***

Meanwhile in a room with a classy design befitting for a lady lay a lady on the bed in the room.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

"uhn uum? "

' who could be calling around this time ' thought the girl as she checked her phone to see that it was an unknown number.

Beep!

" Hello, yes I am Funke Akinotan,wait what you are my boss highly unlikely yes I get I am amazing and all but that does no warrant a phone call from the man himself,okay I am listening you want me to do what"
