"Hi." He said as I heard only one approaching footsteps.

"Zina didn't come with you?" My eyes were fixed on the tv.

"No. She said she was busy."

He was lying but I wasn't going to push it.

"Okay then. Straight to business." I said finally meeting his gaze.

He was dressed in a white polo shirt and blue jeans. Simple but yet.... Sexy.

I pushed the thoughts out. No funny thing Osas.

"Please have a sit." I offered as I adjusted on my couch.

"Your office doesn't look like an.. office." He said as he surveyed the room.

"I like it like this. Makes me more comfortable." We were opposite each other.

"What anime is this?" His eyes were fixed on the tv.

Right.. he likes anime too.

"Hakiyu."

"Not watched this." He glanced away from the tv and fixed his gaze on me.

I felt shivers down my spine as I tried to avoid his gaze. " So uhm.. I wanted to talk to you about the orphanage."

His eyes narrowed." How do you know about that?"
He seemed surprised.

"That's what I wanted to know from you. I'm a partner in the orphanage. I was told that someone told you about it. Is that right?".

"Yeah."

"Who?".

"Can't say."

"Why?. I won't tell anyone."

He snorted."yeah right." He rolled his eyes.

"What does that mean" I said flashing him a disparaging frown.

He rested his back on the couch and crossed his right leg over the left." Do you remember last night?".

"Yes." I said softly. I'll just make him to tell me what happened last night without me admitting to remember anything.

"Then you will know what I mean." He smirked.

He knew I was lying." Fine. I can't remember last night. I was drunk."

"I forgot to inform you. Derek called me and he is coming here, hope you don't mind ?." He suddenly asked.

Derek... The guy from the restaurant that kept on calling me Jemima.

"Yeah I don't... So what did I say last night?". I was eager to know.

"You didn't say anything embarrassing that I know of. Well you apologized for discussing my relationship with you Ola and Uhm.. Rasaq and-"

"How did you know I discussed it?". I cut in. I may habe been drunk but I would not have opened my mouth to tell him I discussed about him with Ola and how did he know Rasaq's name. Maybe the fight they had.

"Rasaq mentioned it in the restaurant."

"And you got into a fight because of it." I say." I'm sorry."

Did Ola know about this, why didn't she tell me, how could Rasaq do this?..

He let out a friendly smile." You have already apologized about it."

"Still. It's not nice to talk about people's private life."

He was silent for a moment." You really don't remember anything from last night huh ?"
