ONTLAMETSE'S POV
My phone rings and I answer it without checking the caller ID.
Me: Mamelodi Police station, Hello?
Thapelo: Wow nana. Are you still sleeping?
Me: Yes I am.
Thapelo: Nana you are late for work already and you are still sleeping?
Me: What?!!
I scream while checking the time.
Me: Bro I am not late, don't do that ever again.
Thapelo: I promise I won't, now hurry up.
Me: Okay bye.
Thapelo: Bye, I love you.
Me:I love you too.
I hung up the call and went to take a shower. When I was done showering I wore my black formal pants, white blouse and a black blazer. I made my bed, then I took my laptop bag, handbag and car keys then went to the kitchen to have breakfast (cereal) which is the fastest thing I can consume right now because "I'm late".
When I was done I got into my favorite car black GTI ( if you haven't guessed it yet my favorite colour is black).
While I was driving to work my phone rings and it's my dad.
Me: Daddy.
Dad: Princess how are you?
Me: I'm good and you?
Dad: I'm good, I was just checking up on you.
Me: You are acting as if you are not going to see me soon.
Dad: Very funny, you are even late.
Me: Well my dad is the own so basically I don't have to worry.
Dad: I thought you said that rule doesn't apply to you.
Me: Well only if it benefits me, it does apply.
Dad: Hurry up already.
Me: Okay bye.
Dad: I love you princess.
Me: I love you too ? .
I drove to work. I don't know what's wrong with my brother and dad because I am not late.
After my graduations I moved out because I wanted to experience how it is to be independent.
10 minutes later
I got to work and went to my office. On my way to the office I greeted the receptionist.
I was checking my emails when my brother ( Thapelo) barged into my office.
Me: You should learn how to knock, what if I was making out with someone?
Thapelo: Knock for who?? And why would you be making out while you came late to work?
Me: Mxm, what do you want??
Thapelo: Hi nana, how are you? I'm also good, thanks for asking.
Me: Hahaha very funny. Thapelo o batla eng? (What do you want?)
I asked throwing my pen at him.
Thapelo: Well your dad is calling you at his office.
Me: See that wasn't hard to say, right??
Thapelo: Mxm just leave already.
Me: Are you kicking me out of my own office??
Thapelo: Yes and while you are at it, don't forget to pick up your pen.
Me: Mxm leave since you delivered the message.
I walked to dad's office. I knocked and got in without him saying that I should come in.
In dad's office
I got in dad's office and he was with a client, because it wasn't his best friend or my uncle. Those are the two people who are always here.
Me: Morning.
I greet them both.
Dad and client: Morning.
Me: I didn't know I had a meeting.
Dad: That's because you are always late.
Me: Hahaha very funny.
Dad: I know right. Anyway nana, I would like you to meet Mr. Thulani Zulu our know client.
Me: Ohh okay.Nice to meet you sir.
Dad: Mr. Zulu meet my daughter Ontlametse Sambo, who is going to help you with the matter you are facing now.
Me: Help?? With what??
Dad: Leave the sarcasm.
Me: I was just asking.
Dad: Nana what's your department in this firm??
Me: uhmm, to manage the finances.
Dad: Ohh so now you know what you are helping with.
Me: Yeah.
Dad: Good.
Me: So Mr. Zulu what is the problem??
Mr. Zulu: Well my business was vanked robbed not so long ago. So I was wondering if you could help.
Me: Ohh, whst happened to your employees that handles the finances??
Mr.Zulu: Well I fired them.
Me: Why??
Mr.Zulu: Well I found out that they were the one's who stole the money.
Me: And how did you find out??
Mr.Zulu: They couldn't answer when I asked them about the money that was lost.
Me:Ohh okay.
Mr.Zulu: Are you going to help or what??
Me: If you want to work with me you are going to have to fix that attitude.
Dad: Nana stop it!
Me: Did I just have to make sure of what I'm dealing with here. And I can't be working with rude people.
Mr.Zulu: I came here thinking that this is the best company that will help me.
Me: Well it is but you need to fix your attitude. Do you need our help or not??
Mr.Zulu: Okay sorry. I do.
Me: Yeah. So you are going to have to send me all your financial info from the beginning of the year.
Mr.Zulu: Okay.
I gave him my email address. He thanked me and I left my dad's office.
