"Good, sir. Thanks for asking. How is Grams?"

"She is better now." He answered her. "Where is the document? I have somewhere to be right now."

"Should I bring it to your office?" She asked politely.

"No. I will do that here." She nodded and went back to her desk and she picked up a black folder from the table.

"Here it is, Mr. Demmy." She handed the file to him. He took it from her while he took a seat in front of her desk and his PA and secretary stood watching him.

He quickly glanced through the document while Uche stared at her boss, a bit amused at his choice of dressing. She exchanged glances with Dayo before turning back to her boss. A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Demilade stretched out his hand and Dayo handed him a pen without saying anything. Then he signed on different pages of the document before he handed the file back to Uche.

"I need to see the report on it first thing on Monday." He said to Uche and she nodded.

"Sir, you are looking different," Uche said with a smirk. "You must have gained quite an attention at the lobby. And Dayo also chuckled lightly.

Her boss was dressing differently. He wasn't in his signature suits or native attires. He was in a fitted ash turtle neck, long sleeves, and snug jeans, coupled with black and white sneakers. She can't remember the last time she saw him in casual wear. He was always formal and quite intimidating. But he looked different at the moment. She can hardly tell it was her boss.

She was shocked for a moment when she saw him step out of the elevator with Dayo. He was nothing more than handsome. She was very sure most of the ladies have done a great job drooling. She inwardly admitted that even if she do have a boyfriend and she likes him a lot, it didn't change the fact that she still admired her handsome boss sometimes.

He had a way of making a girl's heart melt. And she counted Lola as a very lucky lady.

"I guess so. But is it unusual that I am not wearing a suit?" The two of them smiled in response. 

"It's been a while since you wear something other than a suit and native attire to work," Dayo answered him.

"Well, I'm still me." He shrugged as he stood up from his seat.

"You are a handsome god for most ladies today. Do you have any idea how many eyes were on you while you were coming in?" Dayo asked teasingly.

Demilade rolled his eyes. "I didn't dress for anyone. And sometimes, the mood is different. Moreover, I didn't actually have plans on coming to work today. This file is the reason why I am here." He nodded to the file in Uche's hand. "I will be on my way now. You two should handle business here." He walked to the door while Dayo and Uche followed behind him.

"Alright, sir." They both replied.

He nodded and he walked into the elevator rolling his keyholder with his index finger before pressing the button to the lobby.

Demilade drove into a long crowdy street. It was his first time being in such an environment in a long time. He looked at the car's GPS to be sure of where he was heading.

He drove further into the street until he got to a huge old looking brown gate with shops and small kiosks beside and opposite it.

He parked his car at the side of a faded wall in the noisy and rowdy street then he turned off his car engine. He sat looking around his environment, studying it with his eyes.
