"Will you stop this foolishness, Lola? How do you judge someone you met just once? You don't even know who she is? This isn't like you Lola."

"Well, I am like this because of the both of you."

"And what does that mean?"

"And why did you keep defending her? Why didn't you tell me you were going out with her?"

"I didn't go out with just her Lola. I went out with everyone. My friends were there. My employees were also there. It wasn't just the two of us like you are insinuating."

"Then why didn't you let me know? Why Demilade?" Lola asked almost yelling.

Demilade frowned and huffed frustrated. "I already did Lola. What else do you want me to tell you? I am not hiding anything. I told you that it skipped my mind. I didn't bother calling when I was coming because it was already late. You would have been in bed and I was coming home. I was going to tell you sooner or later. I wasn't hiding it. And do I even have to tell you about my every movement? You seem to care about everything I do in the past two months. Are you suspecting me of something?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?" Demilade scoffed angrily. "What?! Is this about last night or Tina?"

"Shut up Demilade. I don't want to hear her name. I'm damn tired of hearing that name. Her name is all you've been mentioning in the past two months. You even seem to prioritize meetings with her over seeing me."

"You know that is not true Lola."

"It's not true? How about last night? You could have just turned down the offer. You could. I know you Demilade."

"Fine, I could. I could have given an excuse. But I did go. And that is gone. I can't change it. Do you know how many good offers I had to turn down? But you won't know. You have to use a single day to judge me. Then I will be honest. I went because I want the contract with her. I have spent almost forty billion on a proposal just to get this contract. It is the highest fucking money I ever spend on a contract proposal. Should I just let all of it go when it is just at the tip of my finger? "

"I don't care."

"What?"

"I don't care Demilade. I'm not okay with you working with her if that is what you want to hear. I don't like her. I don't like the look in her eyes the day I saw her. I don't like her Demilade. And I hate things being a threat to me. I can't hold it anymore. I have tried being patient, thinking the deal will be over soon. But it hasn't. It's been two fucking months and it is not over. All I hear from you is the deal, the meeting with Tina. Tina. Tina. Tina. I'm tired of hearing the bitch name. It has been two months. Two good months. When will it end? When will she sign the stupid contract I'm tired of hearing about her every single day." Lola yelled.

"I don't know why you are being so paranoid and jealous about Tina. I open up to you about what I do at work but you seem to be overthinking some things. If I was hiding something from you, do you think I was going to tell you about all my meetings with her? Or introduce you to her at that party. I have nothing to do with her. You don't have to be insecure because of her. She isn't a threat Lola. She is just my client. A client, Tiwalola. Do you think that I am going to cheat on you because of a contract?"

"Will you?"

Demilade felt like he had been a stab in the heart with her question. A deep scowl formed on his face. The fact that she thought he could hurt him.

He stood up from his seat and was about to walk away.

"Don't you dare walk away from me Demilade? We are not done talking." She yelled. He didn't stop walking. "So my suspicion is true. You will do it." This time he stopped.
